Opinions like that get noticed. Last month Israel asked Arafat to arrest a group of Palestinians it accused of terrorist activity. Salim was among them. Two weeks ago, he was in the mourning tent for Salah Darwazeh, a Hamas activist killed by an Israeli missile. Salim watched as his colleague in the Hamas leadership, Sheik Jamal Mansour, addressed the mourners. "This week you are seeing images of the martyrdom of Darwazeh!" the sheik yelled into the microphone. "Next week you might see my martyrdom."

...thing, the Yemeni might be reluctant to see the investigation stray into uncomfortable areas. While President Salah has worked hard against the odds to close down Islamist opposition groups supportive of Osama Bin Laden?s global anti-U.S. jihad, the fact remains that his government had previously relied on some of those same groups to help him win a 1994 civil war against leftist opposition in the south. But there may be more immediate reasons for shutting the U.S. out of the police work: With the Islamist opposition groups using the specter of increasing U.S. involvement in Yemen...
