| Philippines investigating reports militants beheaded Malaysian captive | | Wednesday, November 18, 2015 2:28 AM | |
| | The Philippine military said it was investigating credible intelligence reports that a small al Qaeda-linked Islamist militant group had beheaded a Malaysian businessman held captive since May on the southern island of Jolo. Abu Sayyaf militants were believed to have killed their captive in the town of Indanan on Tuesday, said Brigadier-General Alan Arrojado, army commander on Jolo island. While the reported beheading is far to the south of the capital Manila, where world leaders including U.S. President Barack Obama are attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, it is a reminder of the security challenges small Islamist groups still pose to the Philippines. |

|  By Diana Crandall LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The former co-director of the Kabbalah Centre, a spiritual group whose brand of Jewish mysticism has drawn numerous celebrity adherents but also controversy, went on trial on Tuesday in a lawsuit brought by a follower who says he groped her. Yehuda Berg, 43, son of the late rabbi who founded the organization, was called as the first witness in the trial, testifying he struggled with drug and alcohol addiction that led to his resignation from leadership in the group in 2014. In a lawsuit filed last year in Los Angeles Superior Court, Jena Scaccetti accused Berg of inviting her to his mother's apartment in 2012, plying her with alcohol and narcotic painkillers and making an unwanted sexual advance that included hugging her and fondling her leg.

|  By Joseph Menn SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Islamic State sympathizers using social media to spread propaganda and recruit fighters are now drawing an increasing amount of return fire from activists who have been knocking some sites offline and infiltrating others. The loose hacking collective Anonymous is the latest to draw attention to such campaigns, with members claiming credit this week for having thousands of pro-IS Twitter accounts disabled. One group that feeds information to the U.S. government says it has suppressed tens of thousands of Twitter accounts since January, and its members have posed as would-be recruits to gain information on so-called Dark Web operations supporting the Islamic State.

Friday night's attacks, claimed by Islamic State militants, raised security concerns around the world.

| Lawyers for Porsche say actor Paul Walker to blame for his death | |  By Piya Sinha-Roy LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Lawyers for German automaker Porsche said actor Paul Walker was responsible for his own death in a crash of a Porsche sports car, in response to a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Walker's daughter, court documents showed. Cranbrook Partners, representing Porsche AG and other defendants, said in papers filed last week in Los Angeles Superior Court that Walker's death was the result of his "own comparative fault." In November 2013 Walker was a passenger in a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT driven by Roger Rodas when the vehicle careened into trees and a utility pole in Santa Clarita, northwest of Los Angeles, killing both men.

| Sheen expects lawsuits over HIV status, but crime hard to prove | |  Charlie Sheen may have freed himself from blackmail by publicly disclosing he is HIV positive, but the hard-partying actor may have opened the door to even more legal troubles. Sheen, 50, said on Tuesday it was "impossible" that he had infected anyone with the virus in the four years since his diagnosis, and that he had been honest with sex partners about his status. Legal experts say California, where Sheen lives, sets a high bar to prove criminal conduct resulting from exposing others to HIV, yet the actor seemed braced for an onslaught.
