JEWS AND MOSLEMS PRAY TOGETHER IN BEIT JALA, 1997-01-24 (photo)

Laila Qefeshe, a Palestinian woman whose 13-year-old son was killed three years ago in the Hebron mosque attack by a Jewish settler, speaks to Yehuda Wachsman, the farther of Nachshon Wachsman, a Jewish soldier kidnapped by Palestinians in 1994 and killed by his Palestinian captors when Israeli troops stormed the hideout, during a joint prayer called by relatives of the victims of terror attacks held January 24 at the West Bank border with Jerusalem. The prayers fall on the day according to the Moslem calendar when three years ago a Jewish settler from Kiryat Arba, Baruch Goldstein, opened fire in the Ibrahimi mosque in the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron, killing 29 Moslems at prayers. About 50 people took part in the joint prayers. MIDEAST
