The withdrawal has been delayed, but to demonstrate their scorn for the deadline before it had even passed, members of Islamic Jihad, an extremist Muslim fundamentalist group, decided to deploy a weapon only recently borrowed from Muslim radicals elsewhere -- the suicide car bomber. So early Monday morning at a highway intersection just outside the Gaza City limits, Aziz sped the ambulance toward an Israeli patrol. The soldiers opened fire, and the bullets ignited canisters...
