JERUSALEM (AP) -- Ariel Sharon said Thursday will not resign as prime minister, despite corruption allegations and the looming possibility he could be indicted in the coming weeks. A real estate developer was indicted Wednesday on charges of bribing Sharon with $690,000, and Justice Ministry officials said they would decide within weeks or months whether to indict the prime minister for accepting bribes. Such charges would only be filed if prosecutors are convinced Sharon had criminal intent. Despite a flurry of criticism, Sharon said he would not step down. 'I am not about to resign. I emphasize, I am not about to resign. I am busy with work from morning to night, and I do not intend to make time for issues that are under investigation,' Sharon told the Yediot Ahronot newspaper. Sharon's aides confirmed the remarks.
