[Ynet] Security officials in Egypt say suspected hard boyz have attacked an army convoy in the restive Sinai Peninsula, killing one soldier and wounding another.
The officials said Sunday's attack took place south of the town of Sheikh Zuwayed. They say hard boyz believed to be members of an al-Qaeda-inspired group opened fire and expeditiously departed at a goodly pace.
The group, Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, or Champions of Jerusalem, has carried out attacks across Egypt in recent months that have killed dozens of people, mostly coppers and soldiers.
[AnNahar] An Egyptian court on Sunday sentenced 36 students of the prestigious Al-Azhar university to four years in prison each over violent protests backing ousted President Mohammed Morsi ...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Time principle, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator... , judicial sources said.
Students supporting Morsi regularly hold demonstrations calling for his release at several Egyptian universities and in particular at Cairo's Al-Azhar university, a prestigious seat of Sunni Islamic learning.
The 36 students were found guilty of holding a violent protest in December, rioting, blocking roads in front of the university and showing aggression against the security forces, the sources said.
Each of the accused was also fined 30,000 Egyptian pounds (about $4,300/3,300 euros).
How many of them, or even their parents, will ever be able to pay that off, d'you suppose?
Morsi was ousted by the army in July last year after mass street protests against his divisive ...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled... one-year rule.
Since his overthrow, a crackdown targeting his supporters has seen more than 1,400 people killed in street festivities, over 15,000 tossed in the clink Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! and hundreds sentenced to death after speedy mass trials.
That's one way to reduce the excess population...
Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected president, himself faces three trials on various charges, including of colluding with bad boy groups.

[AnNahar] Tunisia's appeals court has sharply reduced the jail sentence given to a leader of a controversial pro-Islamist militia blamed for inciting violence, its front man said Saturday.
Imed Dghij, a senior figure with the League for the Protection of the Revolution (LPR), was incarcerated Please don't kill me! in February, after threatening police unions and a judges union.
"We will not give ourselves up. We will win, and we will die only after we've finished with you, is that clear?" he had said.
Dghij was sentenced in March to eight months in jail for inciting violence and six months for attacking others on social networks.
On Friday, front man Habib Torkhani said without elaborating, the appeals court reduced the first sentence to three months and quashed the second one after reclassifying the offence.
How very odd. I wonder what was behind that?
The LPR was formed in the aftermath of the January 2011 uprising, supposedly to safeguard the revolution. It has been repeatedly accused of resorting to violence to intimidate its critics, and is seen by many as a ruthless militia with links to the main Islamist party Ennahda.
Its members are suspected of lynching a member of secular party Nidaa Tounes in the southern city of Tataouine in 2012, and of attacking the headquarters of the main UGTT workers union later that year
Since then, the UGTT and opponents of Ennahda, which was forced to hand power to a interim administration of independents in January to end a major political crisis, have demanded the dissolution of the different sections of the LPR.
Following the appointment of Mehdi Jomaa's new technocratic government, the judiciary has launched several inquiries into these groups, despite the opposition of Ennahda, which remains Tunisia's largest political party.

[AnNahar] Egypt's prosecutor general Saturday referred to trial 200 alleged members of the al-Qaeda-inspired Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, accusing them of "terrorism" for launching deadly attacks against security forces, judicial sources said.
It would be the first mass trial of jihadists in Egypt since the military deposed Islamist president Mohammed Morsi ...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Time principle, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator... in July last year.
The Sinai-based Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, or the Partisans of Jerusalem, has grabbed credit for some of the bloodiest attacks against Egypt's security forces since Morsi's overthrow.
The date for the trial has yet to be fixed, but of the 200 accused, 102 are in jug and the rest are on the run, the sources said.
Those who face trial are accused of "belonging to a terrorist group, espionage on behalf of (the Paleostinian movement) Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, criminal attacks, and terrorism," including deadly bombings targeting police headquarters in Cairo, Mansoura in the Nile Delta and South Sinai.
They are also accused of killing three high-ranking police officials, among them an aide to interior minister Mohammed Ibrahim who himself was targeted by a suicide boom-mobile in September last year.
The attacks allegedly carried out by the accused, who include some operational leaders, resulted in the deaths of 40 coppers and 14 civilians, the sources said, adding another 348 were maimed.
According to the charges, Sherlocks also found the accused had been in touch with Morsi during his presidency, the sources said.
The military-installed authorities have previously accused Morsi's Moslem Brüderbund of having links to Ansar Beit al-Maqdis.
In a separate development, security officials said an operational leader of the group was enjugged Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! on Saturday in Beni Sueif, south of Cairo.
Egypt has been rocked by a wave of murderous Moslem attacks since Morsi's overthrow, with Ansar Beit al-Maqdis carrying out bombings and shootings in the Sinai Peninsula, Cairo and the Nile Delta.
The group had also claimed the killing of five soldiers when it shot down a military helicopter in the restive Sinai on January 25, a day before the third anniversary of the revolt against long-time autocrat Hosni Mubarak ...The former President-for-Life of Egypt, dumped by popular demand in early 2011...
Ansar Beit al-Maqdis has been declared as a "terrorist group" by Egypt, the United States and Britannia.
The group is thought to have been founded primarily by Egyptians in 2011 after the anti-Mubarak revolt, with most of its fighters drawn from Sinai tribes.
In recent months, the group has also seen support coming from the Nile Delta and some areas of Cairo, experts say.
It is also believed to be led or backed by bully boyz who broke out of prison in 2011 during the anti-Mubarak revolt.
Morsi's overthrow has deeply polarized Egypt, with Amnesia Amnesty International saying that 1,400 people have been killed in political violence unleashed since his ouster.
Ansar Beit al-Maqdis has vowed more attacks in the coming days as Egypt holds a presidential election on May 26-27, which former army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sissi is expected to win easily.
"We will not rest until we avenge the blood and bodies of Moslems," it said in a statement this month, referring to the killing of Morsi supporters in an ongoing police crackdown.
Sisi ousted Morsi after millions erupted into the streets in opposition to the Islamist after a single year of turbulent rule.
[AnNahar] Four Libyan soldiers were rubbed out on Sunday in separate incidents in the restive eastern city of Benghazi, cradle of the 2011 uprising, security and medical sources said.
"Unidentified gunnies killed four soldiers and maimed another in Benghazi, while another was maimed in an liquidation attempt," a security official told Agence La Belle France Presse.
A spokeswoman at the city's al-Jala hospital, Fadia al-Barghathi, confirmed the soldiers' deaths. The security official said they had been killed in separate attacks.
An officer died in a hail of bullets in the city center district of al-Hadaek. His son, who was with him in his car at the time, escaped unscathed.
The same source said three more soldiers were killed and one maimed in two attacks in the Assalem neighborhood.
It was in Benghazi that the 2011 uprising which ended strongman Muammar Qadaffy ...a reminder that a single man with an idea can change an entire nation, usually for the worse... 's four-decade rule began.
The city has since been plagued by violence that has killed dozens of members of the security forces, judges and foreigners.
A suicide kaboom targeting a security post near the city in December killed 13, and on May 2 five soldiers and a policeman died in festivities between jihadists and army special forces.
Libya's central authorities have struggled to assert their control over the vast, mostly desert country, which is effectively ruled by a patchwork of local militias and awash with heavy weapons.
In March, the authorities acknowledged for the first time the existence of "terrorist groups" in Libya, particularly in Benghazi and in Derna, an eastern city with a history of Islamist militancy.

OBAMA will do nothing. Personally, I'd like to go with Juns Unamble5534's solution: nuke 'em back beyond the stone age. Unfortunately, that may be a bit drastic. Second best solution would be to napalm them and their supporters, blow up all mosques, and poison the water supply. It's time to start treating islam as the mental disorder it is -- one that renders its practitioners of operating in a civilized manner.

A suspected Al Qaeda suicide bomber on Sunday killed 12 soldiers and a civilian in an attack on a military base in southeast Yemen, officials said, as government forces pursued militants in three restive provinces.
The bombing came just hours after three gunmen were killed when they attacked a checkpoint close to the presidential palace in the capital Sanaa, the same post where five soldiers died on Friday in a similar attack.
The two attacks appeared to be in reprisal for an army offensive against Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula in the contiguous provinces of Shabwa and Abyan, in the south, and Baida in the centre.
The bomber rammed an explosives-laden car into the military police base in Mukalla, the Hadramawt provincial capital, a security official said, adding that the assailant detonated his explosives next to a barracks. The attack killed 12 soldiers, the military source said, while a medic said civilian succumbed to wounds sustained in the explosion.
âThe suicide bomber belonged to Al Qaeda,â said the military source, without giving further information.
In Sanaa, a dawn attack by âterroristsâ on a presidential guard checkpoint at Misbahi roundabout ended in the deaths of three gunmen and a civilian, the interior ministry said.

Militants attacked a military base in north Iraq, kidnapped 20 soldiers and later shot them dead, police and a morgue employee said on Sunday.
The soldiers were abducted by a large group of militants in several vehicles from a small base in the Ain Al Jahash area south of Mosul late on Saturday night, and their bodies found nearby an hour later.
Why didn't the soldiers fight back?
Militants opposed to the Iraqi government frequently target members of the security forces, but it is rare for such a large number of soldiers to be kidnapped at once, especially from a military position.

Narathiwat and Yala provinces were hit by a series of bombings and militant attacks on Sunday. Bombs went off in six locations in Narathiwat and two electricity poles were destroyed in neighboring Yala. Two other locations in Than To district of Yala were also hit by bombings.
According to police, terrorists insurgents launched attacks in Krong Pinang district and at two locations in Bannang Sata districts, both in Yala. Police gave only sketchy details about the attacks which they believed to be a coordinated effort. They said a Thai Muslim woman was killed and five wounded in Narathiwat.
[AnNahar] More than 100,000 civilians have fled the eastern Syrian province of Deir Ezzor because of fierce festivities between rival jihadist groups, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Saturday.
The British-based monitoring group also said the festivities between al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Nusra Front and the rival Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ... the current version of al-Qaeda in Iraq, just as blood-thirsty and well-beloved as the original... (ISIL) had killed 230 forces of Evil in the last 10 days.
Of those, 146 were members of Al-Nusra and other Islamist brigades, including some who were executed by ISIL.
The festivities between the two groups in the oil-rich province began at the end of April and come after a wider backlash against ISIL that started in January.
ISIL, which grew from al-Qaeda's Iraq branch, has been the target of a joint campaign by moderate and Salafist tough guys as well as Al-Nusra since early January.
The campaign has pushed it out of much of Aleppo and Idlib provinces, though it has strengthened its presence in the lovely provincial capital of Raqa province.
ISIL was initially welcomed by some of the Syrian opposition, but its abuses of civilians and rebel forces sparked the backlash that begin this year.
In February, ISIL withdrew from most of Deir Ezzor under pressure, but in recent weeks it has advanced once again, the Observatory said, regaining territory in the west of the province.
[AnNahar] Residents of Syria's second city Aleppo have been without water for a week because jihadists have cut supplies into rebel and regime-held areas, a monitoring group said Sunday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Nusra Front had cut water supplies from a pump distributing to both the rebel-held east and government-held west of Aleppo.
Last month, opposition forces cut the electricity supply to regime-controlled areas of Aleppo and the surrounding countryside.
But Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman said the groups were unable to cut off water supplies to regime areas without also affecting rebel-held neighborhoods, calling the move "a crime."
Once home to some 2.5 million residents and considered Syria's economic powerhouse, Aleppo has been divided between government and opposition control since shortly after fighting there began in mid-2012.
Around one million people have been displaced from the city since then by fighting and relentless regime aerial bombardments of rebel areas.
Opposition forces also regularly shell regime-held parts of the city in the west.
The Observatory said the week of water cuts had forced residents to queue in front of wells to collect water, and the Britannia-based group warned that some people were drinking unclean water risking a spread of disease.

[AnNahar] An armed Syrian national was tossed in the calaboose Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! on Saturday in the Bekaa town of Arsal as he was trying to infiltrate the border region.
"The Arsal police department managed to arrest A.S., 18, in the Wadi Hmayyed region of Arsal," the Internal Security Forces said in a released statement.
The arrest came as he was trying to secretly enter the town.
The ISF noted that the arrested man was a Syrian national, and that he was armed with a kalashnikov rifle and a war gun.
"Investigation is ongoing under the supervision of the relevant judicial authority," the ISF added.
Ever since the Syrian revolt erupted in March 2011, Arsal has served as a key conduit for refugees, rebels and maimed people fleeing strife-torn Syria.
Last week, the army said it arrested seven Syrians in Arsal for trying to enter Leb illegally.
The National News Agency said "suspicious" identification papers were found in their possession.
And in late April, troops arrested a Syrian rebel commander in the border region.
The army also arrested ten Syrians who tried to enter into Leb with fake identification papers. Three other Syrians were as well arrested at a house in Arsal and one of them was carrying a boom jacket containing 3.5 kilos of explosives.
These arrests come as army troops and security forces are implementing an unprecedented security plan in the North and the Bekaa.
The plan has succeeded so far in the arrest of dozens of outlaws, and in seizing several stolen cars and illegal weapons in these regions
