US Mideast Envoy Gen. Anthony Zinni released the following statement:
\"I spoke with Chairman Arafat tonight and made absolutely clear that those responsible for planning and carrying out these attacks must be found and brought to justice. This is an urgent task and there can be no delay nor excuses for not acting decisively. These despicable actions can only be prevented if the Palestinians act in a comprehensive and sustained manner to root out terrorists and bring them to justice.\"
After canceling his scheduled meetings with Minister Natan Sharansky and others, Zinni will instead visit the site of yesterday\'s terrorist attack in downtown Jerusalem and hold consultations with his advisors on planning further meetings.
