摘要

("The Iraq war has brought a change," said a professor of international studies at People's University in Beijing.) Iran's former president, Hashemi Rafsanjani, suggested a national referendum on restoring ties to the United States. Palestinian terrorist Abu Abbas was captured, almost 18 years after directing the attack on the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro.
