Israeli Foreign Minister Ariel Sharon goes calling today on his American counterpart, Madeleine Albright, amid a furor here over signs that he is not exactly thrilled about the U.S.-led bombing campaign in Yugoslavia. At the Washington meeting, Secretary of State Albright is expected to convey U.S. displeasure over recent statements in which the hawkish Sharon suggested that NATO intervention could help transform an autonomous Kosovo into a springboard for Islamic fundamentalist terrorism.
