[Al Ahram] A misdemeanour court on Wednesday sentenced 12 university students to 17 years in prison over riots at Al-Azhar institution in October, Al-Ahram's Arabic news website reported. Obviously their definition of "misdemeanour" isn't the same as ours.
The students were found guilty of attempting to storm the headquarters of the institution, inciting riots and attacking Al-Azhar employees and security personnel, as well as sabotaging public and private property.
They were also ordered to pay a fine of LE64,000 each.
The general-prosecution received a complaint on 30 October accusing protesters of "gathering at the Sheikhdom, pelting the building with stones, attempting to storm it and insulting Al-Azhar grand imam and security personnel."
They were referred to the Criminal Court on 6 November.
Students of Al-Azhar University had staged a protest at the Sheikhdom against the institution they say has supported ousting 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... , Egypt's first freely elected president.
Hub of protests
Egyptian universities have become a hub of protests in support of Morsi after the Moslem Brüderbund was hit hard by a sustained crackdown campaign by security forces.
Protests have repeatedly spiraled into violence while dozens of students have been tossed in the clink Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! since the start of the new academic year in September.
On Sunday, Egypt's prosecutor general ordered that 43 students of Al-Azhar University be sent to a Misdemeanor Court. The defendants are accused of causing riots on campus on 26 October.
Egypt's university campuses have been witnessing tense and sometimes violent demonstrations since the new academic year commenced September.
Pro-Morsi students have been protesting against the interim government, saying the army staged a "coup" against the country's first freely elected president when it deposed him in July amid mass protests against his rule.
In late September, four students were expelled from Cairo University for "assaulting" former Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa, who was on campus for a thesis presentation.
Chaos broke out as pro-Morsi students shouted insults and expletives at the holy man, and held up their shoes as a sign of disrespect. Gomaa left shortly afterwards.

MUHaaaHaahhh. Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?
[Al Ahram] The Gay Paree prosecutor has confirmed the identity of the prime suspect in the killing of two French radio journalists in Mali last week as a bad boy with ties to Al-Qaeda's north Africa branch.
Francois Molins said an "intense" manhunt was underway for Baye Ag Bakabo, known to authorities as a low-level narco from the Tuareg ethnic group who had ties to al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. He was one of four men believed to be involved in the Nov. 2 kidnapping and killing of correspondent Ghislaine Dupont and technician Claude Verlon of Radio La Belle France Internationale.
Speaking to news hounds Wednesday, Molins also denied accounts in Malian media saying the journalists had had their throats slit. He said they were each shot multiple times, and no knife was used.

[MAGHAREBIA] Tunisia on Tuesday (November 12th) tossed in the calaboose Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! Ansar al-Sharia ...a Salafist militia which claims it is not part of al-Qaeda, even though it works about the same and for the same ends. There are groups of the same name in Tunisia and Yemen, with the Tunisian version currently most active... deputy leader Wael Amami and group front man Seifeddine Rais.
Rais was apprehended at his home in Kairouan, Tunisie Numerique reported. Amami was arrested in Sidi Bouzid on charges of killing seven coppers in the Sidi Ali Ben Aoun violence.
Also on Tuesday, Tunisian security forces killed one gunman and arrested several others in Kebili. Two National Guardsmen were maimed in the operation.
The incidents were just the latest in a series of confrontations between terrorist groups and the authorities that continue to hunt them down.
The most recent shootout took place in Nagga, in the southern desert governorate of Kebili. According to Interior Ministry front man Mohammed Ali Aroui, the festivities resulted in the killing of a terrorist, while two officers of the National Guard were maimed.
He pointed out that all other members of the terrorist group were captured, including a dangerous element.
A day earlier, Tunisian security services seized five cars and a van intended to be used as a vehicle bomb by a jihadist cell in Kebili. Large amounts of money, computers, mobile phones and a grenade were also recovered, according to a defence ministry statement.
Seventeen people were arrested as part of the investigation, the statement added.
While the army and police continue sweeps and raids, the government is trying to confront terrorism with new strategies.
"Addressing the phenomena of extremism and terrorism requires an approach, deep, multi-faceted, and comprehensive that includes many aspects; intellectual, educational, social, economic and religious," President Moncef Marzouki said Tuesday during his supervision of a training course at the National Institute for Defence.
However, the man who has no enemies isn't anybody and has never done anything... residents of the southern regions of the country said that the fight against terrorism required addressing the social problems of these areas, particularly for young people.
Journalist Faiçel Aouini said, "I have already visited the locality of Nagga. It is few kilometres away from the town of Kebili. It is a harsh place; there is barely any life in it. It is an environment that fuels terrorism."
"Our town is deprived of the most basic services and necessities," said Taher Khnissi, a 38-year-old Kebili resident. "It lacks cultural and recreational facilities in addition to the absence of new projects."
"This situation is being exploited by Islamist snuffies to attract disadvantaged groups and recruit them as members," Knissi added.

[Pak Daily Times] An Afghan stripped of his British citizenship for allegedly travelling to Pakistain and Afghanistan for terrorism training lost his appeal against the decision on Wednesday. The 41-year-old, identified only as Y1, claimed asylum in Britannia in 1998 and became a Brit in 2004. But he allegedly travelled to Miranshah ... headquarters of al-Qaeda in Pakistain and likely location of Ayman al-Zawahiri. The Haqqani network has established a ministate in centered on the town with courts, tax offices and lots of madrassas... , the main town in Pakistain's northwestern tribal area of North Wazoo, for terror training in 2010, and was then captured by British forces in the western Afghan city of Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... in July 2011. Home Secretary Theresa May rescinded him of his citizenship later that month. The Afghan lodged an appeal with Britannia's Special Immigration Appeals Commission, but the panel said on Wednesday that it had rejected his bid. Judge Stephen Irwin said secret material given to the tribunal provides "absolutely conclusive evidence of the appellant's desire to engage in terrorist activity and very strong evidence of an enduring commitment to jihadist ideas".

A gunman who opened fire on police Wednesday in the Russian republic of Dagestan was killed and a police officer injured. The shootout took place in central Makhachkala, the Dagestani capital, after police stopped a car for a routine check.
The driver opened fire on police and was killed by return fire, a spokesman for the local Interior Ministry said. Two other people who were in the car fled the scene and a search for them is underway, he added.
New video has emerged of the man said to be Australia's first suicide bomber. The video appears to be published by the Al Qaeda-related group, Jabhat al Nusrah, which has previously said the Australian blew himself up in an attack on an army checkpoint in north-eastern Syria in September. It is a revealing insight into the man's last hours and shows the group preparing the massive truck bomb used in the attack.
The video shows the jihadi, identified in a previous internet posting as Abu Asma al Australi, standing on the truck used in the suicide bombing. But, because the face in the video is obscured it is not possible to be sure who it shows, but the bomber is suspected of being a man from Brisbane named Ahmed.
In the video, Abu Asma stands in front of the truck. Large panels have been fitted to its front in an effort to protect the driver from gunfire. He bids farewell to fellow jihadis then urges more foreigners to come and join the fight.
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) says over the past 12 months there has been a significant increase in the number of Australians going to join hardline groups, including Jabhat al Nusra. In just a year the number has risen from a few to 20 or 30, maybe more.

[Pak Daily Times] At least fourteen people, including law enforcers and media persons, were maimed in three kabooms in different parts of the metropolis on Wednesday.
The first blast took place outside Dar-e-Abul Fazal Abbas Imambargah ...since the country's religiously correct™, Shia Moslems in Pakistain can't call their houses of worship 'mosques,' which are reserved for Sunnis. It's not clear if imambargahs are used for explosives storage like mosques are... in Pahar Ganj and maimed two people, including the son of the imambargah's caretaker. According to police the bomb was planted on the vehicle owned by the caretaker, Khalid Hussain.

[Pak Daily Times] Violence across Iraq, including bombings, killed 27 people on Wednesday as worshippers massed in a shrine city on the eve of major commemoration rituals often targeted by bully boys.
The bloodshed was the latest in a months-long surge in unrest that has forced Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to appeal for Washington's help in combating militancy as Iraqi action has failed to stem the unrelenting wave of attacks. Bombings on Wednesday mostly struck north and west of Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... , targeting pilgrims marking Ashura and members of the security forces. On the outskirts of Baquba, north of the capital and one of Iraq's most violent areas, three coordinated bombs struck a gathering of pilgrims.
Overall, eight people were killed and 25 others were maimed in the blasts, security and medical officials said. Millions from Iraq and around the world mark Ashura, which this year climaxes on Thursday, by setting up procession tents where food is distributed to passers-by and pilgrims can gather, or by walking to Karbala, which is home to a shrine to Imam Hussein (RA).
In past years, pilgrims have been targeted by bombings, including a string of attacks the day before Ashura in 2011 that killed 28 people. As a result, security measures are stepped up with more than 35,000 soldiers and coppers currently deployed to Karbala and surrounding areas, with concentric security perimeters barring vehicles from entering the city while helicopters hover overhead.
Provincial authorities expect two million pilgrims -- Iraqis as well as foreigners -- will have visited Karbala in the 10 days leading up to Ashura, with all of the city's hotels fully booked. "I carry these iron weights every year, since I was 16 and until now," said Shawkat Hussein, a 60-year-old pilgrim visiting Karbala from Pakistain, referring to heavy iron chains hanging around his neck. "What I am carrying does not compare to what Hussein (RA) did for his religion."
Elsewhere in Iraq on Wednesday, bombings targeting security forces killed 15 people, while police bumped off three snuffies in a raid. East of the town of Tikrit, a jacket wallah detonated a vehicle rigged with explosives at a police checkpoint, killing 11 people, including three coppers. And near the former myrmidon bastion of Fallujah, ... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperity or a really nice place to raise your kids... two bombs targeting the homes of coppers, followed by a third that went off as onlookers gathered at the scene, killed four.
Wednesday's deaths were the latest in Iraq's worst violence since 2008, with more than 5,600 people killed this year, according to an AFP tally based on reports from security and medical officials. Maliki has called for help from the United States in the form of intelligence-sharing and the delivery of new weapons systems in an effort to deal with the unrest.
Turkey's foreign minister also offered Ankara's assistance during a recent visit to Storied Baghdad. In addition to major security problems, authorities have failed to provide adequate basic services such as electricity and clean water, and corruption is widespread. Political squabbling has paralysed the government, while parliament has passed almost no major legislation in years.

[Bangkok Post] A territorial defense volunteer was killed in a drive-by shooting in Narathiwat province early on Wednesday morning.
The shooting occurred about 12:30 a.m. on a rural road in Sungai Kolok district. Witnesses said the victim was traveling on his motorcycle when a gunman riding pillion on another motorcycle fired twelve shots at him with an assault rifle. The attackers then fled.
The victim, Sakree Maya-eh, was hit by five bullets and died on the spot. Police blamed separatist terrorists militants.
[Al Ahram] The Syrian army advanced Wednesday on the Islamist-held northern village of Tal Hassel, a monitor said, as jihadist rebels in nearby Aleppo called for mass mobilisation to counter the offensive.
Fighting raged at Tal Hassel, located about 12 kilometres (seven miles) from Aleppo, the country's pre-war commercial hub, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
In fighting elsewhere in the country, nine people were killed by shelling in the central city of Homs, according to the official Sana news agency, which blamed the attack on "terrorists," the regime's term for the rebels.
An estimated 120,000 people have been killed and millions displaced by Syria's civil war, which erupted after a fierce government crackdown on pro-democracy protests first held in March 2011.
A security official confirmed the army was advancing at Tal Hassel, and said it was "expanding operations to recover regions captured by terrorists."
"Local residents are being very cooperative with the Syrian army, because they were treated very badly by the terrorists."
Jihadist fighters in Aleppo have called for mass mobilisation to counter regime advances after the Islamists suffered a string of setbacks around the northern city.
In a statement posted online, the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) called on "all brigades and Mohammedans to arms to face off against the enemy which is attacking Islamic territory."
ISIL, which includes a large contingent of imported muscle, also released a grisly video of two jihadists in Aleppo holding up the head of a man they said was an Iraqi Shiite who had been fighting for the regime.
The Observatory said the decapitated man was a rebel.
"Those with a valid excuse not to fight must supply weapons and money," the ISIL statement said, while acknowledging "many losses in fighting for Base 80, Khanasser and Sfeira."
It said Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Before going into the family business Pencilneck was an eye doctor. If he'd stuck with it he'd have had a good practice by now... 's forces -- which it dubbed "the Alawite army" after the Shiite offshoot to which Assad's family belongs -- had taken "part of the road linking Khanasser, Tal Aran and Sfeira because of the weakness of rebel groups."
The statement put this down to "many rebel units withdrawing from the combat zone."
Six Islamist rebel groups, among them Al-Nusra Front, Ahrar al-Sham and Liwa al-Tawhid, had on Monday issued a general call to arms in Aleppo "to face up to regime attacks."
A military source said Monday that the army had secured most of the area around Aleppo International Airport and could reopen the facility, which fighting has kept closed for nearly a year.
This came after regime forces retook Base 80, a strategic facility built to secure the airport just outside the country's second city.
Aleppo airport was closed at the start of the year, as rebels launched a campaign to seize airfields in the area.
Sfeira, southeast of Aleppo, was recaptured by regime troops at the beginning of November, after being held by rebels for months.
Both state media and the Observatory said Monday the army had also secured Tal Aran town, one of the last areas under rebel control on the Sfeira-Aleppo road.
