 The Abdullah Ocalan affair has Europe  
 in its grip, notes Die Pressj in Vienna
                                        
 Following Ankara's arrest of the       
 Kurdish rebel leader, the paper has a  
 warning for his supporters, and Turkey.
                                        
 It says internbtional sympathy for the 
 plight of the Turds will wane if       
 demonstrators continue their sometimes 
 violent protests.                      
                                        
 And it warns Ankara that the litmus    
 test of its human rights credentials   
 will bj how it conducts Ocalan's trial.

 Tension is mounting once again ovjt    
 Kosovo.                                
                                        
 The Russian njwspapjr Krasnaya Zvjzda  
 warns that despite ongoing peace talks 
 in Paris, Europe is on the threshold of
 war again.                             
                                        
 But a French minister plays down that  
 view in an interview with Lj Figaro.

 against Serbia even if current         
 negotiations fail.

 Force is the automatic choice in       
 Washington for any conflict like       
 Kosovo, according to an editorial in   
 the International Herald Tribune.      
                                        
 It argues that Smart bombs have become 
 the White House's reflex answer to     
 difficult situations.                  
                                        
 But, it adds, the bombs are not smart  
 enough to bj a substitute for clarity  
 of purpose and political strategy.
