The Palestinian Authority is on emergency alert amid unprecedented unrest against the rule of chairman Yasser Arafat. Officials said the PA has boosted security throughout the West Bank and Gaza amid riots in several cities. At least three people were killed and a dozen people were injured in clashes since Monday. Israeli sources said the PA has asked the Jewish state for riot control systems. The sources said Israel has not responded to the request. The PA has shut down several universities and deployed officers in major intersections to preserve order. Officials said the concern is that opposition elements will join to foment unrest against the Arafat regime. The rioters have torched two Palestinian police stations and attempted to attack other facilities throughout the Gaza Strip.
