Palestinian Editor Reported Confined for Six Months

From Reuters

Israeli military authorities have issued an order confining the editor of a hardline Palestinian nationalist newspaper to the Jerusalem area for six months, Israeli and Palestinian sources said on Friday.

The sources said it was presumed the order against Salah Zuhaikeh, editor of the daily Al Shaab (The People), centered on suspected security offenses.

Zuhaikeh, 30, will be able to continue his newspaper work under the order but must remain in his home from 8 p.m. until dawn, report to police daily and remain in the Jerusalem area, the sources said.
