05-21-06 - War crimes charges possible over shot Britons THE Attorney-General is to have talks today with senior Israeli authorities as he considers whether to bring war crimes charges against Israeli soldiers who shot dead two Britons.

05-21-06 - Israel to expand four West Bank settlements Under the terms of a internationally backed peace plan known as the roadmap, Israel is meant to freeze all settlement construction in the West Bank.

05-21-06 - West urged to halt Iran The West has less than a year to block Iran's ambition to develop nuclear weapons before it touches off "hyper-proliferation" throughout the Middle East, says Israel's military intelligence chief. That's not what our intelligence says. Who will this administration believe (this time)?

Pressure on them often came from criminal elements.
