Sharon, Arafat accept U.S. plan
Both Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat accepted Sunday a U.S. plan to end the siege on the latter's office.
The plan calls for American and British nonmilitary personnel to guard the assassins of an Israeli Cabinet minister and the mastermind of a Palestinian attempt to smuggle arms by sea that was intercepted in January.
The six Palestinians are currently being held in Arafat's office and will now be held at a Palestinian jail. Under the plan, Israeli troops will withdraw from Ramallah and Arafat will be allowed to leave his office.
Nazi child experiment remains buried
Vienna city authorities buried Sunday the last known remains of handicapped and mentally ill children who were experimented on and then killed by the Nazis.
At least 789 children were killed between 1940 and 1945 at the children's clinic Am Spiegelgrund. Some of the children had been brought to Austria from Germany.
The children were experimented on under the guise of medical research and were then killed using barbiturates.
Their brains were dissected and kept in formaldehyde and used in research as late as 1998.
