Hamas activists suspected of breaking into the house of Palestinian
peace talks delegate Dr. Saeb Erekat and threatening his life were
arrested over the weekend in Jericho, army sources said.
The sources said that on April 15 members of the Moslem fundamentalist group broke into Erekat's house while he was abroad.
The suspects, who were masked, threatened members of Erekat's family that they would be harmed if he did not leave the peace talks immediately. The suspects also broke furniture and damaged documents.
The sources said that orders for the attack came from the camp of the Hamas deportees in Southern Lebanon.
