Mid-East talks end without truce



A crucial meeting of Israeli and Palestinian security chiefs has ended with no apparent progress on implementing a ceasefire.
The latest talks came as US Vice-President Dick Cheney wound up a tour of the region without meeting Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, who remains confined to the West Bank town of Ramallah.

An Israeli Defence Ministry spokesman said another security meeting with the Palestinians would be held on Thursday or Friday.
