Middle East region sites proved their relevance.
Our top-rated site Turkish Press was the second listed site by
Google News after Guardian Unlimited for a news item on Arafat's
wife. It was the top site at Google News for an item about the killing
of a Dutch film maker by terrorists.
Our fourth-rated site The Daily Star of Lebanon was listed third
by Google News ahead of Reuters, for an item about White House advance
opinion on Arafat's return from Paris.
