...Sheik agreement brokered three weeks ago by President Clinton. And that may have been its precise intention: The Islamic Jihad organization, which has rejected the peace process from the get-go, claimed responsibility for the blast. Its fellow Islamist organization Hamas, which has also used terrorist bombings as a weapon against the peace process, also vowed Thursday to ignore the latest cease-fire...
...film, "Terror in a Texas Town," is a truly odd affair that, like "Gun Crazy" unfolds with dream-logic. The unforgettable opening, for instance, finds Sterling Hayden striding valiantly toward a classically styled showdown - toting a harpoon on his shoulder. An unseen gunfighter mocks him for his choice of weapon, and the movie proceeds, in one long flashback, to explain how Hayden got into this strange predicament.

Says former National Security Council counterterrorism expert Daniel Benjamin: "We're still in the boost phase for this kind of fusion." The attack on the Cole may signal the beginning...
...determination. We swore to sacrifice our life and blood for al-Aqsa. Hundreds of the marchers rushed to the front line to clash with the soldiers. I could not forget these moments. The shooting from the Israeli soldiers was intense. It was like a battlefield. Our faith is our weapon against the soldiers, the occupiers. Two youths standing next to me were wounded. The number of casualties was large beyond expectation...
