MADRID (AP) - Secretary of State Colin Powell warned Israel and the Palestinian Authority on Thursday against letting violence "immediately contaminate the road map" toward peace that President Bush has offered.

That work includes ending suicide bomb attacks and harsh defensive actions by Israel, he said.
