Then came the added horror. It was not just the usual suspect, the radical Islamic group Hamas, that took responsibility for the outrage. Also claiming a part was the Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, an underground militia associated with Yasser Arafat. That would be the same Yasser Arafat that Israel was supposed to count on to rein in Palestinian terrorists...
...buried Shirazi at the Hazrat Massoumeh Shrine in Qom. Still reeling from the sight of the cleric's corpse falling into the street, one of Shirazi's daughters-in-law said local authorities prevented his transfer to a better hospital in Tehran shortly after his stroke. "After this we suspect everything," she said. The next day, few Iranians knew such a dramatic scene had transpired. State television broadcast orderly scenes from the funeral procession, showing supporters in the unlikely pose of hoisting photos of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who sent a message of condolence to Shirazi's family.

...hand over one of its key military leaders for arrest in line with an Israeli demand. The smaller Islamic Jihad organization made a similar statement later on Friday, after earlier vowing to continue suicide attacks inside Israel.

Even before it comes to that, however, a single Israeli assassination of a Hamas leader now would almost certainly reverse the 'cease-fire' decision...
...acting burden will probably increase. Everyone I deal with will be scrutinizing me for symptoms--loving friends and relatives most of all--just as I scrutinize friends and relatives who are chronically ill.

My performance, to be convincing, will have to be better than normal. If you're normal, or people think you are, you can clear your throat or trip on a rug or complain...
...reminder. The country's previous involvement with bin Laden brought on cruise-missile strikes in 1998, and there's no eagerness to repeat that experience. Six years on the State Department's terrorist list taught Sudan the economic cost of getting cozy with terrorists. The Islamic regime does remain suspect for nurturing extremism. Its diplomats were allegedly involved this year in a plot - dreamed up by an al-Qaeda agent connected to the Cole and East African embassy attacks - to bomb the U.S. embassy in India. But the Sudanese government claims its tolerance for that stuff is over, since Islamic...
