   Ibrahim Abayat, 29, commander of Bethlehem's Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, is the main spokesman for the gunmen inside the church and is at the top of Israel's wanted list. The extended Abayat family is one of the ruling militia groups in Bethlehem; it is widely feared but also revered for taking a leading role in fighting and attacking the Israelis.
   
   Ibrahim Abayat's mother, Fatma, said sending her son into exile would be unfair. "If there are any human rights, I should be able to see him before he goes," she said while sitting outside her home. "It is my right to see him."
   
   If she could talk to her son, she said, she would tell him that "he has never done anything wrong."
   
   "I would tell him that he is guarding the Church of the Nativity," she said.
   
   Israeli officials accuse Ibrahim Abayat of fatally shooting several Israelis.
   
   The Israeli army killed the head of the Abayat clan, Hussein, in 2000. The army killed a son, Atef, in October with a car bomb. Ibrahim Abayat took on a larger role after Atef's death; he had pulled his brother from the wreckage of his car.
