All those Moslem Brotherhooders supporting one another —and Turkey's mercenaries must be paid for. Turkey can’t afford to give it away as if they were oil sheiks.

That's around $25 billion at market price. Quite the nest egg for a luxurious exile in a European vacation hot spot even after the Turks and Qataris take their pound of flesh.

Mohammad Shahab Dehghani Hossein was denied entry to the U.S. and detained on Sunday when he arrived on a student visa at Boston Logan International Airport.

[AlAhram] Ayatollah Ali Sistani has been an unlikely saviour of Iraq, and his hospitalisation last week has left many Iraqis concerned about his health and their own future
Sistani underwent surgery on a fractured thigh on 16 January following an accident in his home in Najaf. He reportedly fractured a thigh bone when he slipped while washing before evening prayers. Sistani, who turns 90 later this year, was discharged from hospital a day later and returned to his home in Najaf where he will stay under medical observation.
