PLO ban ends

JERICHO - Ahmed Korei, senior member of the Palestinian Authority in charge of the economy, arrived in Jericho after Israel lifted a ban on the entry of PLO officials to the self-rule areas. Israel agreed to repeal a ban on PLO officials after four blacklisted Palestinians who entered Gaza with the PLO leader, Yasser Arafat, on Tuesday had left the Gaza Strip on Israeli orders. Reuter
