#1 Israeli sources were quoted in the local media as saying the army has information about five separate cells in the West Bank trying to dispatch suicide bombers into Israel. Three are in Nablus and two in Jenin.

Finish that wall soon, guys. Then set up inspection checkpoints and appropriate procedures and stick to them rigidly, and voila - instant increased security.

#3 Coupla years ago NPR had an article on the deterioration of civil society in what might or might not be called Palestine. One of their gauges of how far things had started to improve and then gone down the tubes was the fact that there was once a thriving Gaza Chamber of Commerce. But when the intifada started, there was essentially no commerce to promote except stone throwing and bomb making. NPR did an interview with the COC's last president. Interesting. They had to go to California (I think) to interview him.
