German police identify key organizer VICTIMS REMEMBERED Hamburg police say they think a 26-year-old German­ born student who reportedly left Germany for Pakistan on Sept. 2 was a key figure in the conspiracy behind last week's terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Sahid Bahaji, who was a roommate of two people believed to have been among the hijackers of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center, handled many of the logistical arrangements for the hijackers, including rentmg apartments and applying for U.S. visas, Hamburg police say. "(Bahaji) might be the brains behind this operation here," said a German law enforcement official with knowledge of that country's investigation of the attacks. "We think he was responsible for logistics." But German authorities have not yet linked the Hamburg cell to Osama bin Laden, the wealthy Islamic militant U.S. authorities consider the prime suspect in the attacks. Strategists stress wisdom in retaliation

Wh:le these discussions were no doubt productive and helpful in deal­ ing with the immediate emotional stress of the tragedy, the discussion must not end there. These attacks were atrocious, inhumane and horrific. Yet their oc­ currence and the subsequent reactions to them must be investigated and debated in this academic community. The nature of this tragedy dra­ matically points to the need for students and professors alike to be more aware of world affairs. Too often people in this nation sit idly by their televisions and accept the narrow picture of the world painted by net­ work news. Tragedies on this scale and greater occur around the world ·every week, but rarely do they generate such a universal response. International cooperation will be required to eradicate the terrorists that have organizational footholds in dozens of nations. These collabora­ tive efforts will raise new challenges for political leaders, as well as raising important questions regarding culture and society. Students should be encouraged to broaden their views of the world and realize that events m distant countries have an impact on them, and vice versa. This time, the bloodshed and panic were not halfway around the world. This time, it happened here. No longer can students learn of atrocities abroad without sharing some of the pain. The terror here has been limited, fortunately, but this nation cannot denounce these attacks and call for world support while continuing to ignore crises in other lands. By becoming more aware of world events and U.S. foreign policy, students and professors will be more cognizant of this country's role and the effects of U.S. action. Classroom discus­ Letters sions should take advantage of this situation and encourage deeper ex­ ploration of the issues. Conversations must extend beyond what the U.S. response should be and how terrorism should be addressed to explore why these events transpired and why the United States is responding Tragedy wounds all or the ones who seek venegeance? know that I will never be able to for­ as it is.

In 1948 700,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes in one of the largest population transfers in modern times. Today, there are some 4 million Palestinian refugees worldwide. They are one of the largest refugee populations in the world, and they have been condemned to live in exile, their lands confiscated and set­ tled tipo~z. their history denied. This summer I lived, worked and studied in the West Bank, which for 34 years has been illegally occu­ pied by Israel.

It was hot. We were waiting on a narrow road on the way from Bethlehem to Hebron. To our right, on top of a barren hill, the unmistakable sight of sandbags and the flut­ tering of the blue and white Star of David flag marked the location of an Israeli mili­ tary outpost. To our left, a decrepit Palestinian home that had been seized by the Israeli Defense Forces stood silently. Above, the scorching Middle East sun baked down on the rocky terrain. In front, the road had been completely destroyed by the Israeli military. Where the road had once been only a huge pile of cement rocks and dirt remained. The dozen or so of us shuffled out of the white Ford van that had trucked us from Bethlehem and we stood silently for several moments in the shadow of the Israeli forces. Palestinians rushed by us as they left taxis from the Bethlehem side, climbed over the rubble and headed toward the Hebron­ bound taxis, as Israeli snipers hid above. A truck filled with produce backed up to the vanquished road, and a Palestinian man and his son hopped out and quickly began ferry­ ing their fruits and vegetables across, as if SAMI KHANfrHE ITHACAN A PALESTINIAN WOMAN stares at the remains of her home in the Rafah refugee camp in the Gaza Strip.
