Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday promised steps to halt the use
of illegal arms to stem chaos in Palestinian areas and ensure calm ahead of a
Jan. 9 election to choose Yasser Arafat's successor.
In his first media
interview since Arafat's death last week, Abbas, the PLO chief, told Reuters
that Israel must cease military actions in the West Bank and Gaza as he seeks to
restore order. Talks between Abbas and militant factions have so far produced no
agreement for suspending attacks on Israelis.
