...launching an attack on Egyptian soil would mark a dramatic, and risky strategic shift even for Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad, while groupings associated with Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement would likely be mindful of its strategic relationship with the Egyptian leadership. But Cairo maintains cordial relations even with the Palestinian Islamists, often mediating in cease-fire talks among the three groups. The consequences for any Palestinian group of challenging President Hosni Mubarak in this way would likely be immediate and painful, diminishing their motive...
...second set of suspects would be Egyptian Islamist groups such as Islamic Jihad and the Gama'a Islamiya. Both groups broke away from the more moderate Muslim Brotherhood to wage a terror war against Mubarak and his predecessor, President Anwar Sadat. For much of the 1990s, they waged a terror campaign at home, culminating in the massacre of 57 tourists at Luxor in 1997 by the Gama'a. But a harsh crackdown saw much of its leadership imprisoned, and from their prison cells they have renounced violence and declared an official cease-fire. The Islamic Jihad group, headed by Ayman...

But, lacking in detail or development, and drawn with a minimum of detail, the stories will be forgotten as quickly as you turn the page...
...19th century mansion are contemporary works by the likes of American Spencer Tunick and Italians Franco Angeli and Mario Consiglio, which make a nice counterpoint to the classics that fill most of the city's other galleries. Nestled on a landing is Maurizio Cannavacciuolo's sculpture of an Egyptian mummy, but my favorite is a statuette of Star Wars' Yoda wearing a Pope's miter by Australia-born Adrian Tranquilli. (Go to www.residencebarberini.com to preview some of the artwork.) The hotel is located off Piazza Barberini, just minutes from the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps and a host of other...
