[AA.TR] Tunisian judicial officials on Tuesday sentenced former President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali -- in absentia -- to life behind bars for his involvement in the death of unarmed protesters during Tunisia’s 2011 popular uprising.
"Tunisia’s Military Court of Appeals sentenced the former president to life in prison in cases related to the deaders and injured of the [2011] revolution," read a statement released by Tunisia’s prosecutor-general and carried by the official TAP news agency.
"Forty other defendants in the same case received sentences of between two and eight years behind bars, while a number of others were acquitted," the statement added.
Ben Ali and his wife, both of whom now reside in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , were both earlier slapped with jail terms for corruption. The former president was also sentenced earlier to life in prison for killing demonstrators.
According to a 2012 report by an independent Commission of Inquiry, 338 demonstrators were killed -- and more than 2,000 injured -- during the 2011 uprising.

[AA.TR] Ali al-Qaradaghi, secretary-general of the Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... -based International Union of Moslem Scholars (IUMS), has decried Israeli violence against Paleostinian protesters in Gazoo and the relocation of Washington’s Israel embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
"We closely followed the Zionist occupation army’s violence against Paleostinian demonstrators," al-Qaradaghi told Anadolu Agency on Tuesday.
"We are deeply concerned by this aggression, which accompanied the relocation of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem," he added.
On Monday, thousands of Paleostinians converged on the Gazoo Strip’s eastern border to mark the passage of 70 years since "The Catastrophe" -- referring to the creation of Israel in 1948.
They were also protesting the relocation of Washington’s Israel embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which occurred the same day.
Israeli forces deployed along the border responded to the peaceful protests with live ammunition, leaving scores of protesters dead and hundreds more injured.
Describing the U.S. and Israel as "partners in crime", al-Qaradaghi said: "The entire world, including many Arab leaders, is responsible for the crimes being committed against the Paleostinians.
"Most Arab leaders remain silent, while some even stand by the Zionists and support U.S. and Israeli policies," he asserted.
Al-Qaradaghi added: "The Moslem, Arab and international community must act in coordination against the Zionist regime; the criminals must be brought to justice."
The leading Moslem scholar went on to urge the international community to take concrete steps against what he called "ongoing crimes against humanity".

Moslem Scholar.....now there's an oxymoron for you. Or maybe just a regular moron.
[AAWSAT] Iran’s Minister of Industries and Mines Mohammad Shariatmadari stressed on Monday that his country’s ties with Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... are "moving on the right course."
Economic ties between them are progressing on the right path, he said upon his arrival in Doha, reported the Fars news agency.
Efforts should be exerted to continue along this course, he added.
The minister hoped that the joint Iranian-Qatari economic committee would be able to implement the agreements signed between the two countries.
The committee had on Sunday kicked off the its sixth meeting after a 13-year pause.
A delegation of some 70 Iranian experts and businessmen from private and government sectors had arrived in Doha early on Monday to attend the proceedings of the committee meetings.
Iranian and Qatari experts held later on Monday a series of meetings related to customs, oil, mines, petrochemicals and banking affairs. They are set to sign a number of agreements.
Iranian-Qatari ties witnessed a marked improvement in 2017 in wake of the diplomatic and economic boycott imposed by Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor.

[AAWSAT] The trial of a suspected female ISIS supporter kicked off in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula.

The woman is accused of supporting ISIS, communicating with a supporter of the organization, marrying him without her father’s consent and allowing him to use her mobile phone to communicate with the terrorist organization.
Charges against her include attending meetings with families of suspects detained in security cases and downloading audio that glorifies ISIS and calls for fighting coppers.
A video clip in her possession showed al-Qaeda leader the late Osama bin Laden ... who has left the building... The Saudi attorney general demanded that she be charged with the maximum sentence based on Royal Order 4444, which was issued in 2014.
The order calls for the imprisonment of anyone who participates in hostilities outside the Kingdom, belongs to krazed killer religious or ideological movements or groups that are classified as terrorist organizations internally, regionally or internationally and supports or adopts their ideology in any form.

[ALMASDARNEWS] An effigy of US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... was ripped to shreds at a pro-Paleostine demonstration in Diyarbakir, south-eastern The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund.... , on Tuesday.
The protest was called to denounce the relocation of the US embassy to Israel.
International condemnation followed recent bloodshed at the border fence, when Israeli fire killed 60 Paleostinians, according to the Gazoo health ministry.
The Ottoman Turkish government asked the Israeli ambassador to temporarily leave the country in protest.
Israel does not release figures and denies suggestions it uses excessive force.
The six-week long ’Great March of Return’ rallies culminate tomorrow, the 70th anniversary of Israel’s declaration of independence.
Paleostinians call it the ’Nakba’ ‐ meaning ’Catastrophe’ in Arabic ‐ referring to the 1948 Paleostinian exodus, where an estimated 700,000 Paleostinians were expelled to make way for the newly created state of Israel.

Baghdad (Iraqinews.com) ‐ Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has phoned prominent Shiite holy manMoqtada Tater al-Sadr ... the Iranian catspaw holy man who was 22 years old in 2003 and was nearing 40 in 2010. He spends most of his time in Iran, safely out of the line of fire, where he's learning to be an ayatollah... to congratulate him on winning the parliamentary elections.
The Iraqi premier congratulated Sadr after his bloc came in the first position place among the electoral lists, Sputnik quoted Sadr’s office as saying in a statement on Tuesday.
In the phone call, Abadi praised the holding of the electoral process in a secure and democratic atmosphere.
According to preliminary results announced by the Iraqi Independent High Electoral Commission, Sadr’s Sairoon bloc took the lead after votes were counted in 16 out of Iraq’s 18 provinces.
Saturday’s elections were the first in Iraq since the defeat of Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... last year by Iraqi forces and a U.S.-led coalition.
The elections will decide the 329 members of the Council of Representatives who will in turn elect the Iraqi president and prime minister.
Even with more than 10 million Iraqis voting, the election saw a record low turnout, with 44 percent of eligible voters casting ballots.
The elections were originally scheduled for September 2017, but were delayed due to the country’s fight against Islamic State, which ended in December 2017 with the recapture of their remaining territories.
Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) Iraq’s electoral commission has announced preliminary results of votes for parliamentary elections in Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... ending disputes over earlier results that prompted calls for manual recounts.
The electoral commission said the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan came first in the mixed Arab, Kurdish and Turkmen province. Second came the Arab Alliance, and the Turkmen Front came third.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said earlier today that the only solution for the dispute over anticipated results in Kirkuk was to conduct a recount.
Iraqi parliament elections, the first after victory over Islamic State holy warriors in December, were held on Saturday. On election day, Kirkuk’s governor, Rakan al-Jubouri, said the adopted electronic counting system produced controversial results, urging a manual recount to avert sectarian or ethnic clash.
Sulaimaniya, another Iraqi province falling inside Kurdistan Region, had seen festivities on election day driven by objections by Arab and Turkmen groups to results showing PUK won most votes.
The commission declared vote results for the rest of provinces on Monday, saying Shia holy manMoqtada Tater al-Sadr’s Saeroon list coming first, al-Fatah list coming second and PM Abadi’s al-Nasr coming third.

[AAWSAT] Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi announced that he was ready to cooperate in forming the “strongest government” for the country as Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr was tipped on Tuesday to win the weekend’s parliamentary elections.
His shock victory will deal a blow to Iranian and American influence in Iraq.
Triumph for the veteran nationalist's Marching Towards Reform alliance with Iraq's communists -- pitched an anti-corruption outsider force -- would be a slap in the face for Iraq's ruling establishment.
Sadr -- who has ruled himself out of becoming prime minister -- looks likely to be the key powerbroker and has already mooted a technocrat government of some dozen parties that bridge sectarian divides.
Counting was still ongoing three days after the first parliamentary poll since the defeat of the ISIS organization, but Sadr’s grouping was in the lead with 16 of 18 provinces tallied.
But with his group set to be far from a majority in parliament, wrangling over any potential coalition should take months -- and there remain major obstacles ahead that could thwart Sadr's ambitions.

[IsraelTimes] Israel opens the Kerem Shalom crossing and is working to help humanitarian aid pass into Gazoo, the IDF says.
Eight trucks filled with medical supplies, four sent by the Paleostinian Authority, two by the UN children’s agency UNICEF, and two more by the IDF, pass into the Strip.
The supplies in the IDF’s two trucks include 14,000 saline packets, 20 examination beds, 25 IV hangers, 12,500 bandages, pediatric kits, and other basic medical supplies.
The supplies come as the Strip’s hospitals are overwhelmed by thousands of Paleostinians maimed in festivities with IDF troops along the Gazoo border on Monday.
Israel is also set to transfer large quantities of gasoline through the crossing, the army says.
"The aid that is being sent in by the [army’s] Technology and Logistics Directorate is part of a policy that distinguishes between the perpetrators of terrorism and the innocent population in the Gazoo Strip," the army says.
[ALMASDARNEWS] Israeli intelligence is in contact with the representatives of the Syrian al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... terrorist group, Paleostinian Ambassador to Russia Abdel Hafiz Nofal said at a presser in Moscow.
"There is a certain communication between the Israeli intelligence service and some representatives of the al-Nusra* group, for the assistance and treatment of the maimed," the ambassador said.
The Paleostinian National Council has instructed Paleostinian leader the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... to recall recognition of Israel within two days, the Paleostinian Authority’s Ambassador to Russia Abdel Hafiz Nofal said Tuesday.
"The Paleostinian National Council has yet again re-elected Mahmoud Abbas as a member of the new executive committee, and he was instructed yesterday to withdraw recognition of Israel within two days... And I think that this is a message by Paleostinian leadership not only to the Paleostinian people, but to the leaders of Arab states," Nofal told a presser.
Protests took place in the Gazoo Strip on Monday amid the 70th anniversary of the formation of Israel which coincided with the anniversary of the transfer of the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The number of Paleostinians killed in festivities with Israeli troops has reached 61 people.

After all that fussing when President Trump wanted to close the Palestinian office, now they are closing it themselves. I’m not sure how much more winning I can handle in a single week.
[AAWSAT] Amid growing global outrage over Israel’s killing of Paleostinians protesting at the Gazoo border and the relocation of the US embassy to Jerusalem, Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... recalled on Tuesday his envoy to Washington.
Husam Zumlot confirmed to The News Agency that Dare Not be Named on Tuesday that he is returning home.
He said: "When they (the US) opened their embassy in Jerusalem there was a need for a decision from our side and this was our decision."
The US relocated its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem on Monday, a move that has sparked international condemnation and Paleostinian rage.
The Paleostinians claim east Jerusalem for their future capital. They are outraged by the move and say it invalidates Washington's role as an impartial peace broke.
Demonstrations held at the Gazoo border on Monday and Tuesday in protest against the move turned violent when Israeli troops shot up the Paleostinians, killing 60 and injuring over 2,000.
The United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... Human Rights Council will hold a special session on Friday to discuss "the deteriorating human rights ...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state... situation" in the Paleostinian Territories.
"The special session is being convened per an official request submitted this evening by Paleostine and the United Arab Emirates," on behalf of the rights council's Arab Group and has so far received support from 26 states, the Geneva-based body said in a statement Tuesday.
[IsraelTimes] Prime Minister Charles Michel says the violence and killings would be moved onto the calendar of the European Union summit in Sofia on Wednesday and Thursday.

The EU can move them to Europe at any time. They could repopulate the former East Germany.
[ALMASDARNEWS] US security experts warning about the serious consequences of carrying out regime change in Iran and the Middle East, at the New Horizon international conference in Tehran on Tuesday.
Former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Military Intelligence officer Philip Giraldi did not think that the United States’ exit from the Iran nuclear deal could be the catalyst for war. However, a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... Israeli manoeuvres in the region combined with what he perceives as, US Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s diplomatic impulsiveness, could be the trigger for a wider conflict.
Dr. Scott Bennett, ex-serviceman from the U.S. Army 11th Psychological Operations Battalion feared that European politicians were not alive to the dangers of conflict in the Middle East.
"If Syria and Iran have regime change, we’ll have a massive human tragedy and catastrophe of forced migration and it would cause severe problems for Europe," explained Bennett.
Another senior US security policy analyst Michael Maloof, this time from the Department of Defense, believed the world was looking at a "repeat of 2003", only a wider scale drawing in other regional and world powers.

Yes, that was the phone Herb. Your prescription is ready.
The article, by Philip Giraldi, included statements saying that anyone who touches on the subject of the US-Israeli relationship and American Jews runs the risk of a “quick trip to obscurity” because “Jewish groups and deep pocket individual donors not only control the politicians, they own and run the media and entertainment industries.”
Focused on a potential impending war with Iran, it asserts that “what makes the war engine run is provided by American Jews who have taken upon themselves the onerous task of starting a war with a country that does not conceivably threaten the United States.” Giraldi went on to assert, “the issue that nearly all the Iran haters are Jewish has somehow fallen out of sight, as if it does not matter. But it should matter.”
Giraldi cites a list of Jews as “conduits for the false information that led to a war [with Iraq] that has spread and effectively destroyed much of the Middle East.”
His column concludes: “We don’t need a war with Iran because Israel wants one and some rich and powerful American Jews are happy to deliver. Seriously, we don’t need it.”

“Our goal should be regime change in Iran,” said Darth Bolton in the final moments of the interview.
But all the actions he called for before that final statement had to do with getting out of President Obama’s deal and assisting and supporting the protesters, Herb. He most definitely did not call for invading the country as we did Iraq —twice.

Herb prefers Iran stay a religious dictatorship, that the regime that's been at war with the US for 40 years be left in place.
Herb supports the enemies of the United States.

[FOX] REYHANLI, Turkey ‐ U.S. military equipment and ammunition, sent to Syria as part of a failed Obama administration plan to find and arm moderate forces to defeat ISIS, were instead simply handed over to an Al Qaeda group, according to the man who said he himself brokered the deal.
"I communicated with Al Qaeda’s branch, Al Nusra, to protect and safely escort me and my soldiers for two hours from North Aleppo to West Aleppo," Maj. Anas Ibrahim Obaid, better known on the battlefield as Abu Zayd, told Fox News from his home in the western Aleppo area. "In exchange, I gave them five pickup trucks and ammunition."
Those trucks and ammo were issued to him by the United States in 2015, part of a $500 million Department of Defense effort to "train and equip" a new "ideologically moderate" force to battle ISIS. The program, one of at least two designed to funnel arms to so-called moderate Syrian rebels, proved to be a spectacular failure for the Obama administration.
Zayd, who said he defected from the Syrian Army to the opposition in 2012, described a program that was rife with inconsistencies and incompetencies.
