ILLUSTRATION: Graphic

The last paragraph of a news story Thursday about the rise of

Hamas, the militant Islamic group that claimed responsibility for

the bus bombing in Tel Aviv, Israel, ended in midsentence. The

paragraph should have read: ``Yassin, viewed by many Islamic

militants as almost a saint, was jailed for life by the Israeli

authorities in 1991 after he was arrested a year earlier, accused of

ordering the killing of Palestinians. He has been in prison since

then, but his influence as figurehead remains powerful. When Waxman

was kidnapped, one of his abductors' demands was Yassin's

release.''

Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 126 is assigned to the

carrier Eisenhower, which left Norfolk Thursday for deployment

overseas. A list Thursday of the ships and aircraft in the carrier

group incorrectly reported the name of the squadron.
