A number THREE truncheon? Heck, you won't scare no self-respecting hard boy with a number three.
Now a number SIX truncheon, the one with the rich Corinthian leather handgrip, now THERE'S a sweet swing, boyo, yes-sir, that baby just sits in your hand and makes the average hard boy take notice, that it does. Mahmoud'll be sweating and singing even before you tap "take me out to the ball game" on his noggin with a number SIX.

Egypt's security forces have foiled an "imminent" attack on a foreign embassy plotted by an Al-Qaeda cell, according to Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim.
The radical Islamists had been in contact with Al-Qaeda in Algeria, Pakistan and on the Syrian-Turkish border, where their contact is monitoring the inflow of jihadists into the war-torn country. Ibrahim claimed one of the suspects also traveled to combat training camps in Iran and Pakistan.
"The interior ministry was able to direct a qualitative blow to a terrorist cell which was planning to carry out suicide attacks against vital, important and foreign establishments," declared Ibrahim, who did not specify which country was to be targeted by the attack. He did, however, say that the extremists planned to use either a car stuffed with explosives, or a remotely detonated home-made device to carry out the terrorist act.
Ibrahim said the three suspects were captured with 10 kilograms of ammonium nitrate -- an ingredient in explosives -- and a computer containing bomb-making instructions.
The minister told journalists at a Cairo press conference that the radical Islamists had been in contact with Al-Qaeda in Algeria, Pakistan and on the Syrian-Turkish border, where their contact is monitoring the inflow of jihadists into the war-torn country. Ibrahim claimed one of the suspects also traveled to combat training camps in Iran and Pakistan.
A lawyer for the three men has told local Al-Ahram website that the charges against them were "fabricated."
[An Nahar] Egypt's security forces on Friday tossed in the clink Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! the founder of one of the key youth movements behind the 2011 uprising that toppled the former regime upon his arrival at Cairo Airport from Vienna, a security official told Agence La Belle France Presse.
Ahmed Maher of the April 6 movement was placed in durance vile Book 'im, Mahmoud! at the airport "based on the orders of the general security department at the interior ministry," the official said.
His passport was confiscated and he was transferred to the prosecution for questioning, the official MENA news agency said.
According to an interior ministry official quoted by MENA, Maher is accused of incitement to protest outside the house of Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim.
Mohammed Adel, front man for the April 6 movement, told Agence La Belle France Presse that Maher contacted him when he was first detained "but we have not been able to reach him since."
Hailed as heroes in the aftermath of the overthrow of former president Hosni Mubarak ...The former President-for-Life of Egypt, dumped by popular demand in early 2011... , the youth-led group has since splintered into two factions.
April 6 had supported President Mohamed Morsi during the June presidential elections, but since then it has become increasingly vocal in its opposition to the Islamist leader who they accuse of pursuing Mubarak's practices and betraying the revolution that brought him to power.

Moslems are not very good at "democracy". Mohammed had a problem with it too.
It just never seems to catch on with Moslems. They prefer stinky old boots and everybody all in a line with their butts in the air.

Looks like lights are going out all over Egypt as the kids and dreamers that got rid of Mubarak are waking up to the realization that life under Sharia as the MB wants to interpret it is going to be very harsh.
So much for elections.
Every time you let the Moslem clerics and fanatics get involved, democracy goes out the window. It is time they learn the interpretations of the Quran need to be updated. You cannot function in the 21st century with a 7th century mindset.

[An Nahar] Hundreds of Tunisians, including police, human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... activists and political party representatives, protested on Friday against "terrorism" after the government said two wanted jihadist groups had ties with al-Qaeda.
Several hundred protesters gathered outside the national assembly shouting "Tunisia is free, terrorism out!" and waving placards with slogans including: "We support the security forces and the army in the war against terrorism."
A delegation of unionists representing the armed forces was received in parliament, where they demanded that a special compensation fund be set up for members maimed or killed in the line of duty, an Agence La Belle France Presse journalist reported.
The army intensified its search last week for two groups of jihadists hiding in the remote Kef and Mount Chaambi regions along the Algerian border, who the authorities say have al-Qaeda links and are veterans of the Islamist rebellion in northern Mali.
Landmines planted by the Islamists to protect their Mount Chaambi base have so far maimed 16 members of the security forces, some of whom have lost legs.

And as soon as the Shias have a political domination everything will suddenly become sweetness and light?
Savak may be gone in Iran but you know what its still like downstairs in the cells. No big surprises. Moslems are like that.
Or in Iraq. Saddam may be gone but downstairs...you don't want to go down there. The Shias don't feed you in the cells and they may just not come back or turn the lights on until the roaches finish with you.
Save Praise Allah...the Beneficent and the Compassionate. Hiummahimma.

Prior to this, I thought Turkey was gearing up to intervene in Syria. Their problem is they don't trust their military, and large scale troop movements could be used as cover for a coup.

[An Nahar] The Pak Taliban on Friday warned the country's 86 million electorate not to vote in Saturday's landmark elections, telling them to keep away to "save their lives."
"Democracy is against Islam and is a system for infidels. Being a Musselmen, it's our responsibility to reject this thinking and ideology and be a part of the struggle to enforce Islamic sharia," front man Ehsanullah Ehsan told Agence La Belle France Presse.
"To revolt against this system, the TTP (Tehrik-e-Taliban) have planned several actions on May 11, so we appeal to the people to stay away from polling stations to save their lives," Ehsan added on the eve of the vote.
Attacks on politicians and political parties have killed more than 120 people since mid-April, according to an Agence La Belle France Presse tally, and the Human Rights Commission of Pakistain said the elections were the most violent in the country's history.
The TTP have branded democracy unIslamic and have singled out the main outgoing parties for particular threat, drastically curtailing public campaigning for the Pakistain People's Party and its main allies.

Indonesian police have gunned down seven terror suspects in raids over the past two days, including several with alleged links to a plot to bomb Myanmar's embassy. Thirteen suspects were taken into custody as well, as an elite police unit swooped in on houses across Java, in the biggest counter-terrorism operation in the country for months.
In addition to investigating links with the embassy plot, police were targeting suspected terrorist fund-raisers.
In the latest raid, police gunned down three suspects at a rented house in central Java and arrested four others early Thursday after a 15-hour firefight. National police spokesman Boy Rafli Amar said, "They put up resistance and fired shots from inside," he told reporters," adding the men were suspected of being part of a network involved in robberies to fund a terrorist militant group called Mujahidin Indonesia Timur (MIT).
Amar said police were also investigating if they were tied to a plot uncovered last week to bomb Myanmar's embassy.
On Wednesday police gunned down three men suspected of involvement in the Myanmar plot who were holed up at a house in West Java. The deaths followed a seven-hour gunbattle, during which the men hurled homemade bombs at police.
In a separate raid the same day, police in Batang district gunned down one man and arrested a second suspected of robbing a jewelery store to fund terrorist activities.
In total, police carried out around 10 raids across Java.
A terrorist militant suspect and his young brother were killed in a drive-by shooting in Pattani province on Thursday night. Witnesses said the brothers were traveling in a pickup truck when a gunman in another pickup truck opened fire at them. The victims were both shot and died on the spot. The attackers fled
Police said there were four arrest warrants for Lukeman. He was arrested on Feb 1 and then released on bail while fighting the cases in court.

They also transported the explosives from the camps in order to attack certain targets that were not revealed.
The case was referred to the first military investigating judge.
