One of the 13 Palestinians accused by Israel of carrying out terrorist
actions is carried on a stretcher by Israeli soldiers May, 10, 2002 as
he leaves the Church of the Nativity. Palestinian militants began
leaving Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity on Friday under a deal
intended to end a more than five-week-old armed standoff at one of
Christianity's holiest shrines. The Israeli army said the first to
leave the church were members of a group of 13 Palestinian militants on
Israel's most-wanted list who were to be taken to Tel Aviv and from
there flown to Cyprus under a European-brokered deal. REUTERS/Radu
