RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) - The United States is using political and financial "blackmail" to pressure the Palestinians to arrest those behind the deadly bombing of an American diplomatic convoy in the Gaza Strip, a top adviser to Yasser Arafat said Wednesday.
Jibril Rajoub, a senior security adviser to the Palestinian leader, said Washington has threatened to disengage from peacemaking and stop U.S. aid to the Palestinians, and has pressured other nations to withhold funding, unless those responsible for the Oct. 15 roadside blast are found.

The bomb ripped apart a diplomatic car in the Gaza Strip, killing three American security guards.

"You know that the Americans stopped their involvement (in funding and in the peace process) waiting for the results of the investigation," Rajoub told foreign reporters. "I think that this is blackmail."

How awful us Americans are, why we threaten to stop paying them just because they kill us. Down right extortion. We should be ashamed and give them even more money! Whats a self respecting terrorist to do? GET A JOB?!
