Two suicide car bombs
tore through a Damascus
suburb just minutes apart
on Wednesday, killing 34
persons and injuring 83
others, according to state
media, which added the
Christian and Druse area
was known for its loyalty
to President Bashar al-
Assad. In the northern
part of the country, a rebel
opposition group claimed
to have brought down a
Syrian MiG-23 fighter jet
near the rebel-held town
of Daret Azzeh.
The two highest appeals
courts in Egypt
called off work and suspended
their deliberations
on Wednesday to join the
protests against presidential
decrees that provided
the country’s Islamist
President Mohammed
Morsi almost absolute
powers. The lower courts
of the nation quit work as
well, describing Morsi’s
decrees as “unprecedented”
assaults on the judiciary,
“defying belief.”
On Tuesday, an Egyptian
court convicted in absentia
seven Egyptian
Coptic Christians and a
Florida-based American
pastor, sentencing each
one to death on charges
linked to an anti-Islamist
film that earlier sparked
riots in the Muslim world.
Te case was viewed as
largely symbolic as most of
the defendants live in the
United States.
Around The Globe
Prices for parking
spaces in Hong Kong
neared records highs on
Wednesday, a side effect of
government curbs to cool
the housing market as
speculation continued in
the wake of a “hot” housing
market in the tiny nation.
This past weekend, a
developer sold 500 parking
spots at a new suburban
apartment complex at
$167,000 each. Ouch.
According to the Associated
Press on Wednesday,
the garment factory in
Bangladesh, where a fire
killed 110 persons on Saturday,
made clothes for
Disney, Sears, Walmart,
and other Western brands.
At least one of the American
companies knew of
safety problems in the
country’s garment industry,
which is second only
to China and where over
300 workers have died in
fires since 2006.
Under new regulations
launched in 2008 by President
Raul Castro and
brother Fidel, Cubans
who have not paid taxes
for over a half century will
begin to cough up extra
money beginning on January
1, when market-oriented
reforms take place,
Reuters said on Wednesday.
All taxes in the country
were abolished in 1959
during the nation’s revolution.
