...done by irresponsible people who are trying to create more tension in our society." There are clearly a number of groups seeking to do that, and others seeking to create more tension within Hamas itself. Among them are Hamas militants trying to undercut the efforts of Haniyeh and Khaled Mashal, Hamas's leader in Damascus, to find common ground with Fatah and establish the unity government. If not by kidnapping, they will use other means to block those efforts, says one Hamas military commander. He did not take responsibility for the kidnapping but did say, referring to Haniyeh and Mashal...
...close to the Americans and Israelis. They openly voice suspicions that Mohammed Dahlan, the head of Preventative Security, is working with the U.S. and Israel to topple the Hamas government. Meanwhile, Fatah charges Hamas with taking money and direction from Iran and Syria (where Hamas leader-in-exile Khaled Mashal is based). The distrust is endemic.

Having spent 20 years away from Iraq, as a student at Georgetown University and a telecommunications executive in Saudi Arabia, he was a stranger to his countrymen. Before his appointment, a poll asked Iraqis to rank 17 political figures in order of popularity. Al-Yawer came...
...Maybe Halim has not counted on the number of girls who think like Mashal. At 18, she wants to be a doctor. "I want to be freed from Allah," she says. "I don't want to wear a veil at all. I want to wear miniskirts." And he may not be counting on the determination of women like Fakhria, 35, a mother of four in Kabul. After the Taliban forced her from her job at a teacher-training college, she opened a secret beauty salon in her house in Kabul. A high wall shields her customers from prying eyes. Inside...
