They told TIME that Hamas - despite its public commitment to a new coalition government with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas - has used a five-month cease-fire with Israeli forces to stage an unprecedented arms build-up in the Gaza strip. "They're armed to the teeth," said one senior U.S. official. "This is not like your average little militia." Indeed, one Israeli official said that, in recent months, Hamas has sent "dozens" of militants to Iran for advanced training in weapons that can destroy aircraft and tanks. Hamas insists that...

"There was no plan, there was no goal, and there was no belief that it was real," Kurtz says. "I stumbled onto it." His strip was about office life at a magazine, and he called it PvP (short for Player vs. Player). By 2000 he was getting a million page views a month and could quit his day job doing Web design for a radio station. Now PvP has more than 150,000 readers...
