...governments on both sides of the border cracked down on terrorism like never before. McKevitt joined the Provisional I.R.A. in the early '70s, rising quickly through the ranks and becoming quartermaster, the man responsible for arms procurement. McKevitt's long-term relationship with Bernadette Sands - the sister of I.R.A. martyr Bobby Sands, who died on hunger strike in 1981 - gave him a potency among I.R.A. volunteers that he might not otherwise have enjoyed, so when he split from the Provisional I.R.A. many followed. McKevitt's conviction was based largely on evidence provided by David Rupert, an American who infiltrated...

...hudna is a source of alarm rather than comfort for the Israelis. They insist, with American backing, that the roadmap requires not an agreement by Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Fatah's Al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigade to refrain from terror attacks, but instead the systematic dismantling of these groups. Israel is insisting on nothing less than an all-out "war on terror" by the PA, but Abbas is both unable and unwilling to use force against the militants for fear of starting a Palestinian civil war he would likely lose. Instead, the PA hopes to draw these groups into...

Although he greeted it with skepticism, President Bush's Mideast peace "roadmap" got its most important boost yet on Wednesday - in the form of a reported agreement by Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigade to halt attacks on Israelis for three months.

But Palestinian Authority prime minister Mahmoud Abbas, on whom the Bush administration is relying to deliver Palestinian compliance with...

...Palestinian security services. While the Israelis were willing to indulge Abu Abbas's cease-fire efforts, they also made clear that simply restraining militants from launching terror attacks was not enough. Implementing the "roadmap" would require that groups such as Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Fatah's own Al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigade be dissolved, disarmed and their leaders detained. While Hamas may have been open to discussing some form of temporary truce, at least to the extent that this was necessary to avoid being blamed on the Palestinian street and in the wider Arab world for the failure...

...Aqsa Martyr's Brigade, however, kept open the possibility of a cease-fire. But only if Israel agrees to end the policy of assassinating terror suspects, release the approximately 6,000 Palestinian militants it currently holds in prison and restore Yasser Arafat's freedom of movement on the West Bank. And it's far from clear Abbas could wrest such concessions from Sharon right...
