US President George W Bush has again demanded that Palestinian leader Mr Yasser Arafat hunt down those responsible for a string of weekend suicide bombings and bring them to justice.
"It is incumbent upon Mr Arafat now to respond forcefully, to root out those who killed," Mr Bush said during meeting in Florida.
"I think the Israeli people want to have peace, but we learned in such a vivid way that there are elements in the Middle East that hate the thought of peace and will be willing to use terror to derail any type of peace process."
