...from his time with South Africa (he left before Cronje's admissions) and Pakistan in a book he was writing? His wife and the book's co-author say that last idea is nonsense, that the book was about coaching techniques, not corruption. But former South African captain Clive Rice told a Cape Town newspaper he had "absolutely no doubt" that Woolmer was killed because of what he knew...

Many within the military wing of Hamas, the Islamic militants with whom Abbas now shares a "unity" government, refuse to recognize Israel or renounce armed resistance.
