| China breaks up another "terrorist gang" in Xinjiang |
|
 Chinese police have broken up a "terrorist gang" in the restive western region of Xinjiang, the local government said on Tuesday, arresting five people conspiring to launch attacks with explosives, days after a deadly blast in the capital, Urumqi. China has announced a year-long "anti-terrorism" operation in Xinjiang, home to a large Muslim Uighur minority, as well as nationwide, following a series of bloody incidents that Beijing blames on Islamists and separatists from the region. Monday's arrests in the Hotan area of southern Xinjiang, reported on the local government's news website, come after the authorities said they had caught more than 200 suspects in 23 "terror and religious extremist groups" in May. Police in Hotan arrested five gang members, destroyed two explosive-making sites and seized 1.8 tonnes of explosive raw materials, the Tianshan news website reported.

Dotcom, also known as Kim Schmitz, was said to have brokered deal but will not hold any position in the Internet Party. He has the right to vote in New Zealand but cannot stand for election until he becomes a citizen.

| For Egyptian secular activist, election is reminder of elusive dream |
|
| By Maggie Fick CAIRO (Reuters) - In 2010, the death of an activist at the hands of the Egyptian police galvanised computer engineer Wael Eskandar to become a political activist. Eventually, he joined protests that would help topple veteran autocrat Hosni Mubarak. As Egyptians vote in an election expected to install former army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi as president, Eskandar seems deflated by what he calls the "triumph of the counter-revolution". Sisi toppled Egypt's first freely elected president, Mohamed Mursi, last July and mounted a tough crackdown on his Muslim Brotherhood that has been condemned by human rights groups. |
