An Israeli F-16 warplane takes off to a mission in Lebanon from an air force base in northern Israel, in this Sunday, July 16, 2006 file photo. Israel's air force says it has found cancerous material on additional warplanes. The Israeli air force last month grounded its fleet of F-16i fighter plans after finding dangerous levels of formaldehyde on an aircraft. The army says it has now tested about half its fleet, and that about 30 percent of the warplanes tested so far had excessive amounts of formaldehyde.

For Many Arab Youth, Islam Means Resistance to Oppression
Across the Middle East, young people like Mr. Fawaz, angry, alienated and deprived of opportunity, have accepted Islam as an agent of change and rebellion. It is their rock 'n' roll, their long hair and love beads. Through Islam, they defy the status quo and challenge governments seen as corrupt and incompetent.
