...those orders, and the ideas that animate them, come from men like Osama bin Laden, spoiled son of a Saudi tycoon—or from hijacker Mohamed Atta, born to a middle-class Egyptian family and radicalized by ideas imbibed at German universities—or from the host of Muslim clerics, of imams and mullahs, across the Middle East and Asia, who have fallen over themselves to provide religious justifications for an anti-American jihad.

Arafat, meanwhile, has banned the military arm of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), which killed Zeevi in retaliation for the assassination of its own leader, Abu Ali Mustafa, by Israel last August.

...Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other militants who oppose a resumption of negotiations and advocate guerrilla war. Still, Israeli public opinion right now is far closer to Sharon's take on Araft than to that of Peres. All of which is bad news for Washington, but which may give bin Laden reason to smile.
