Egyptian courts quashes Tamim murder convictions

The article is about the murder of a lebanese singer named Sussane Tamim's. She was found stabbed to death in her apartment in Dubai July 2008, the authorities suspect Hisham Talaat paid a hitman 2 million dollars to kill the star singer Sussane Tamim. Eventually the men were convicted of the most serious punishment the death penalty, but now the court is re-opening the case by might having evidence of authorities tampering, or fabricating the evidence. Even though the singer was killed in the United Arab Emirates they were caugtht in Egpyt.



My reaction to the article is that the women was a victim to a domestic violence crime. The people that are linked to the murder might know her very well or even had a intimate relationship with the singer. The way they killed her was dispicable due to stabbing a woman to death that is a very harsh crime and personally i think they should be convicted of the murder and after convicted they should be execueted. The killing of celebrities in foreign countries is very high compared to the number of killings of the U.S. celebritites in my opinion.

Man hurls a bomb at a Egyptian synagogue

The article is about a man recently throwing a bomb at a Egyptian synagogue on sunday morning. The man actually hurled the bomb all the way from the fourth floor of a hotel near the famous synagogue with gasoline canisters inside. Each bomb had materials of sulfuric acid, piece of cotton, a box of matches and a lighter also the smashing of the bottles ignited the fire, but fortunately no one was visiting the synagogue at the time. The man fled quickly, but now the authorities are ready to apprehend him.

My reaction to this article is I think it's a way of terroist to get headline news attention by doing pathetic things like this. The man is most likely has someone calling the orders behind them to do this.

Egyptian publisher of reform book arrested

The article is about the recent arrest of trying to have a dream of a corrupt free government that the people want to have, but in return he was arrested for such a book. When his family and friends came to pick him up from jail they said he was not to be released yet due to them not done with the questioning of him and maybe even to silcence his voice due to him being a supporter of ElBaradei.

My reaction of the article is that it's just another government corruption plot for no one to out-run their dirty ways of running a government. I am worried about how the authorities didn't let the author's lawyers in to the questioning that makes me think they were most likely either doing illegal actions, or torturing him. The people that stand up to corrupt governments like this really have heart for their reason of trying to demolish the government and should always be looked at as heroes.

Archaeologist discover a Roman-era mummy

The article is about the recent discovery of a three-foot female mummy that was discovered 190 miles southwest of Cairo. They are discovering clay, and glass vassels, coins, anthropoid masks and 14 Greco-Roman tombs. Mahmoud Affifi the Archaeologist that led the dig says the stairways and corridors are so unique and can be dated back to 300 B.C.. In 1996 a group of Egyptian archaeologist discover 17 tombs and 254 buried mummies at the site.

My reaction to the story was that it's amazing that their still discovering buried mummies dating back thousand years ago. It's incredible that their discovering up to 17 tombs and 254 buried mummies at one site alone. The thrill of discovering ancient artifacts is mesmorising, but when their discovering human bodies still in good condition is incredible and by the way it looks theirs a lot more to be mummies to be discovered.
