| Egypt postpones verdict in Turkey, Qatar 'terror' case |
| 2015-09-08 |
| [Hurriyet Daily News] An Egyptian court postponed Sept. 6 its verdicts in two lawsuits calling on the government to designate ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... and 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... as "state sponsors of terrorism" until Sept. 28, according to a judicial source. The lawsuits were filed by Egyptian lawyer Samir Sabri, who has filed a series of lawsuits against the Moslem Brüderbund --the group which ousted and imprisoned President Mohammed Morsi hails from-- and Qatar's Al Jazeera news channel. The lawsuits accuse Ankara and Doha of providing a safe haven for "terrorists" --a reference to Brotherhood leaders who have fled an ongoing crackdown in Egypt-- and of refusing to extradite them to Egypt. It was the third time for the court postponing its verdict in the case, with its first postponement in May and then again in July. Egypt's relations with both Turkey and Qatar have soured dramatically since mid-2013, when the army ousted and imprisoned Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected leader, after he served only one year in office. |
