...horizon for a troop withdrawal in Iraq. Hamas, already masters of the Gaza Strip, bragged recently that they could take on Fatah in the West Bank too, if not for President Abbas's movement enjoying the de facto protection of the Israelis. And Olmert's rivals also smell blood.

"The flames in our hearts over [Suroor's] death will not die until God orders justice upon the people whose hands are soaked in [her] blood," Ahmed's sister Tahani Shahid Ahmed told TIME in a written statement recently.
