...only Arafat's personal fate that raises questions about whether Israel's "Operation Defensive Wall" leads back to a cease-fire and negotiations. Israeli officials have made clear they're after a number of Arafat's top aides previously considered immune. Top of the wanted list is Marwan Barghouti, leader of Fatah's Tanzim militia and the Palestinian leader with the most influence over the gunmen on the streets of the West Bank. That may be exactly why Israel wants him behind bars, but the reason he's previously been left untouched by the Israelis is that it's also...
...papers from the Immigration and Naturalization Service arrived in the morning mail at Huffman Aviation International like notices for long-overdue library books. The forms in the envelope that Huffman president Rudi Dekkers opened Monday, March 11, announced that Mohamed Atta and Marwan Al-Shehhi were cleared for takeoff, their M-1 student visas approved for flying lessons--six months to the day after the two terrorists steered hijacked jetliners into oblivion and mass carnage at the World Trade Center towers...
Moreover, Horowitz cleverly explained, “You can’t fight suitcase bombs with missiles.” The Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) is also to blame for lax protection against terrorism.

But attacks on symbols of the occupation - such as settlements and military checkpoints - may be perceived differently, both by many Israelis and by most of the international community...
...agents believe that Binalshibh, a.k.a. Ramzi Omar, is a dedicated terrorist who planned to join his Hamburg roommates Mohammed Atta and Marwan Al-Shehhi and their frequent companion Ziad Al Jarrah as the 20th hijacker in the September 11 terror attacks. Binalshibh had registered at the Florida Flight Training Center, attended by Jarrah but was denied a visa because the State Department feared a poor Yemeni would remain in the U.S. illegally. (Atta, a middle class Egyptian with a good command of English, had no problem obtaining visas, nor did the other hijackers - 15 Saudis, two UAE citizens...
