Palestinian Militants Vow to Continue Fight
(AP/USA Today) Fatah militant Zakariye Zubeydi, 27, who heads the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades in Jenin, vowed in an interview "to continue our operations." Militants like Zubeydi are strong in northern parts of the West Bank, and the success of the truce may depend on whether he and dozens of others like him can be reined in. "Who are they to tell us what to do, wearing their fancy suits in their air-conditioned offices," Zubeydi said of Palestinian leaders, sitting under a tree Wednesday in the Jenin refugee camp where he lives. Militants like Zubeydi say that in ignoring the truce they are carrying out the true will of the Palestinians - and also, they are convinced, of Arafat.
