Tunisia urged to cancel Sharon visit

AMMAN, Jordan, March 2 (UPI) -- Jordan's opposition Wednesday asked Tunisian President Zine el-Abidine Bin Ali to cancel his invitation to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

Bin Ali invited Sharon to attend an international parley on information technology in Tunisia in November.

The Committee for Resisting Normalization with Israel set up by Jordanian opposition groups wrote: "We appeal to your Excellency to cancel the visit, which disappoints the Palestinian people and opens the door for more Zionist infiltration into the Arab world."
