Mubaraks parti ydmyget af mordsag

{ 5:40 AM, Sep. 5, 2008 } { 0 comments } { Link }
05. En egyptisk parlamentariker og multimillionær er sigtet for at bestille mord på libanesisk sangerinde. Multimillionæren Hesham Talaat Moustafa (tv), er blevet sigtet for at bestille mordet på den populære libanesiske sanger Suzanne Tamim i Dubai for lidt over en måned siden. En af Egyptens mægtigste bygherrer, Hesham Talaat Moustafa, er blevet sigtet for at bestille mordet på den populære libanesiske sanger Suzanne Tamim i Dubai i slutningen af juli.Sagen om mordet, hvis motiv skulle være personligt, lyder umiddelbart blot som noget, der kunne være en del af manuskriptet til en halv-dårlig tv-serie. Imidlertid er det en sag, der i øjeblikket skaber heftig debat i Egypten.Hesham Talaat Moustafa er nemlig ikke kun en kendt egyptisk rigmand. Han er medlem af parlamentet og præsident Hosni Mubaraks politiske parti. Af samme grund har de egyptiske medier – i et ikke usædvanligt skridt fra regimets side – fået fuldt forbud mod at skrive om sagen i løbet af den måned, der er gået siden...

Always a Spinmeister: ABC’s Stephanopoulos Offers Democratic Spin ...

George W. DANGER WILL ROBINSON! One week ago, former Clinton campaign spinner George Stephanopoulos found nothing to criticize when he reviewed Barack Obama’s speech and the overall Democratic convention for Good Morning America. Go beneath those numbers a little more,” Stephanopoulos instructed. But ABC’s poll, conducted Thursday after a week of battering coverage of the GOP vice presidential candidate, showed Palin had only a slightly lower overall favorability than Democratic candidate Joe Biden, a difference nearly entirely accounted for by her low approval among Democratic voters. One week earlier, Stephanopoulos offered the Obama campaign’s spin that the Democratic candidate’s speech would “shield” him from being attacked on social issues, relayed none of the McCain campaign’s rebuttal points, and said the Democrats had “absolutely” accomplished all of their convention goals. “What he showed over the course of the speech is that he understands the probl...

McCain campaign angrily defends Sarah Palin

JsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — John McCain's campaign on Wednesday angrily called for an end to questions about Sarah Palin's background, calling it a "faux media scandal designed to destroy the first female Republican nominee" for vice president."This nonsense is over," declared senior campaign adviser Steve Schmidt in a written statement.The statement stood out for its admission that Palin is under siege — it condemns "this vetting controversy" — and for its attempt to blunt questions about how rigorously McCain and his campaign explored the background of a candidate who may get the nation's second most powerful job."The McCain campaign will have no further comment about our long and thorough process," Schmidt said.McCain shook up the presidential race last Friday by picking Palin, a little-known governor serving her first term in Alaska. Since then, the self-styled "hockey mom" with a record of bucking the state's po...

11/8/2008Dubai, cantante uccisa:presi sicariI killer pagati da innamorato traditoSarebbero a una svolta le indagini sull'omicidio di Suzanne Tamim, la cantante libanese uccisa in luglio a Dubai, sul cui corpo i killer hanno hanno ferocemente infierito con un taglierino. Gli inquirenti ritengono che la vittima conoscesse il suo carnefice: i sospetti cadono su un ricco egiziano, innamorato della donna. Dopo aver scoperto di essere stato tradito, avrebbe assoldato due sicari per uccidere l'amata.L'appartamento dove è stato trovato il cadavere di Suzy, straziato da decine di coltellate, sarebbe proprio un regalo dell'importante uomo d'affari egiziano che, dapprima ha tentato di riconquistare l'amore della cantante coprendola di dollari, poi al suo rifiuto, ne avrebbe ordinato la morte. Top secret il nome del mandante, cioè dell'egiziano, facoltoso e importante al punto da aver ottenuto il sequestro di un giornale che lo coinvolgeva nella vicenda.
