TULKARM, West Bank She knew that once she put on the explosive belt, there would be no turning back. She knew it would rip her limb from limb, reducing her to a bloody pulp. She knew it would leave her only daughter an orphan. But she also knew this: It would kill Israelis. With luck, a lot of them. And that was reason enough to do it. Shifa al-Qudsi was a suicide bomber, or at least tried to be. A Palestinian hairdresser driven to anger, despair and hopelessness, she volunteered to carry out an attack on Israelis that would strike a blow, she thought, for her beleaguered people. “I wanted to seek revenge,” she said. But she was arrested before she could act and today, after six years in an Israeli prison, Ms. Qudsi has transformed herself from a would-be deliverer of death into a messenger of peace. Now working with a group that brings Palestinians and Israelis together to advocate an end to the conflict between their peo- ples, she tries to channel the rage that took her to the brink into a nonviolent movement for change. Ms. Qudsi offers a window into the world of terrorism amid a fresh wave of attacks by Palestinians. Mainly wielding knives rather than bombs, this new generation of attackers are nonetheless also committing suicide for their cause, since they know they are likely to be shot by Israeli soldiers. Ms. Qudsi understands the kind of thinking that makes sacrificing oneself seem like a rational response to deep feel- ings of grievance. “They occupy your home, your land, they kill your relatives and your people — of course you’re upset,” she said. “You have no other option but to seek re- venge.” Now 40, she smoked as she reflected on her life in this corner of the West Bank occupied by Israeli forces for nearly 50 years. Looking back, she still embraces THE SATURDAY PROFILE A Would-Be Suicide Bomber Becomes a Fighter for Peace By PETER BAKER and RAMI NAZZAL Shifa al-Qudsi went to prison for plotting to attack Israelis. RINA CASTELNUOVO FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES Continued on Page A3 WASHINGTON — The Su- preme Court on Friday entered the national debate over trans- gender rights, announcing that it would decide whether a transgen- der boy may use the boys’ bath- room in a Virginia high school. The court is acting just a year after it established a constitu- tional right to same-sex marriage, as state laws and federal actions on transgender rights have prompted a welter of lawsuits. In taking the case, the court signaled that it may move more quickly in the area of transgender rights than it has in expanding gay rights. The public debate has been ig- nited, in part, by a North Carolina law that requires transgender people to use bathrooms in gov- ernment buildings that corre- spond with the gender listed on their birth certificates, a statute that has drawn protests, boycotts and lawsuits. The case revolves around how the Obama administration is enti- tled to interpret a federal regula- tion under a 1972 law that bans dis- crimination “on the basis of sex” in schools that receive federal money. The legal question is whether it can also ban discrimi- nation based on gender identity. The Department of Education said last year that schools “gener- ally must treat transgender stu- Justices to Rule In Rights Case Over Restrooms By ADAM LIPTAK Continued on Page A11 U(D54G1D)y+[!&!.!#!] COLUMBIA, S.C. — Last month, Akia Gayle gave birth to her third child. Sixteen hours lat- er, while she was still in her hospi- tal bed, a doctor implanted a matchstick-size plastic rod in her left arm because she did not want to have a fourth. “To have it done right then and there — that’s good,” Ms. Gayle said. “I don’t want more kids.” Ms. Gayle is one of thousands of women in South Carolina’s Medic- aid program who have gotten long-acting contraception at an unusual moment — right after they give birth. The novel policy, which has since been adopted by at least 19 other states, covers long-acting contraception right after birth for women on Medic- aid, the government health insur- ance for low-income Americans. It is intended to help answer one of the most vexing questions in pub- lic health: how to reduce un- planned pregnancy in the United States. Nearly half of all pregnancies in the country are unplanned, and in a majority of those cases, the woman already has a child. Rates are at least twice as high for poor women. Yet contraceptive meth- ods have never been better: Tiny implants and new, modern IUDs last for up to five years and are far more effective than condoms and the pill. The problem is that they are expensive and usually require When to Offer Birth Control? Medicaid Has Idea By SABRINA TAVERNISE Continued on Page A15 WASHINGTON — The presi- dential campaign was rocked on Friday after federal law enforce- ment officials said that emails per- tinent to the closed investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server were discovered on a computer belonging to Anthony D. Weiner, the estranged husband of a top Clinton aide. In a letter to Congress, the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, said the emails had surfaced in an unrelat- ed case, which law enforcement officials said was an F.B.I. investi- gation into illicit text messages from Mr. Weiner to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina. Mr. Weiner, a former Democratic congress- man from New York, is married to Huma Abedin, the top aide. Mr. Comey's letter said that the F.B.I. would review the emails to determine if they improperly con- tained classified information, which is tightly controlled by the government. Senior law enforce- ment officials said that it was un- clear if any of the emails were from Mrs. Clinton’s private server. And while Mr. Comey said in his letter that the emails “appear to be pertinent,” the F.B.I. had not yet examined them. By the end of a day that brought stinging criticism of Mr. Comey from both Democrats and Repub- licans, he appeared on the defen- sive, saying in an internal email to bureau employees that he had felt obligated to inform Congress, and “we don’t know the significance of this newly discovered collection of emails.’’ The new development in the saga over Mrs. Clinton’s handling of classified information came months after the F.B.I. closed the investigation without charging Mrs. Clinton. The announcement, less than two weeks before the election, left Mrs. Clinton’s team furious and scrambling for expla- nations while bolstering the spirits of Donald J. Trump after a wave of controversies and Repub- lican defections had led many to write him off. “We are calling on the F.B.I. to release all the information that it has,” Mrs. Clinton said adamantly in an evening news conference that took issue with Mr. Comey for making the disclosure so close to the election. “Let’s get it out.” Mr. Trump was ebullient. “Per- haps, finally, justice will be done,” he declared at a campaign rally in New Hampshire. A senior law enforcement offi- cial said that tens of thousands of emails belonging to Ms. Abedin were on Mr. Weiner’s laptop, which the F.B.I. had obtained as part of its investigation into Mr. Weiner. About a month ago, a per- son familiar with the investigation said, F.B.I. agents seized the lap- top as well as Mr. Weiner’s iPad and cellphone.

Looks at Messages Found During Inquiry Into Weiner’s Texts By ADAM GOLDMAN and ALAN RAPPEPORT Everything was looking up for Hillary Clinton. She was riding high in the polls, even seeing an improvement on trustworthiness. She was sitting on $153 million in cash. At 12:37 p.m. Friday, her aides announced that she planned to campaign in Arizona, a state that a Democratic presidential candidate has carried only once since 1948. Twenty minutes later, October delivered its latest big surprise. The F.B.I. director’s disclosure to Congress that agents would be reviewing a new trove of emails that appeared pertinent to its in- vestigation into Mrs. Clinton’s pri- vate email server — an investiga- tion that had been declared closed — set off a frantic and alarmed scramble inside Mrs. Clinton’s campaign and among her Dem- ocratic allies, while Republicans raced to seize the advantage. In the kind of potential turn- about rarely if ever seen at this late stage of a presidential race, Donald J. Trump exulted in his good fortune. “I think it’s the big- gest story since Watergate,” he said in a brief interview, adding, “I think this changes everything.” He promised to batter Mrs. Clinton as a criminal in the race’s final week and a half.

Comey, the F.B.I. director, faced a dilemma on Thursday when depu- ties briefed him about the discov- ery of a new trove of emails that might be connected to the dor- mant inquiry into Hillary Clinton’s private email server. Mr. Comey could immediately inform Congress about the emails, which were found in an investiga- tion into former Representative Anthony D. Weiner. That unusual step, months after Mr. Comey had cleared Mrs. Clinton of any crimi- nal wrongdoing in the email case, would risk accusations that he was unfairly harming her presi- dential campaign less than two weeks before the election. Or he could delay any an- nouncement and examine the new emails more closely, risking criti- cism that he had suppressed im- portant new information if it came out after the election, despite his pledges of “transparency” in the investigation. Mr. Comey, a Republican ap- pointed by President Obama three years ago, decided that he could live with criticism of his judgment, aides said.
