BeppoSAX mail n.00/09: GRB000424 On April 24 at 18:18:07 UT a burst (GRB000424: BATSE trigger 8086) was detected in WFC (2-26 keV). BeppoSAX GRBM was switched-off because of proximity to SAGA. The position is: R.A.= 104.718 Decl.= 49.873 with an error radius of 2.5'. A fast position distribution and a follow -up with BeppoSAX NFI could not be performed because of the holiday period in Italy (see also GCN 634 and BeppoSAX mail n.00/06). L.
