Egyptian man stabs doctor for 'killing' his wife in childbirth operation
ALBAWABA - A horrifying incident recently jolted Egypt after an Egyptian man stabbed a doctor whom he believed had a hand in killing his wife during a childbirth operation, as reported by Al Arabiya.
The stabbing incident occurred Sunday night when the citizen attacked Dr. Ahmed Salah El-Din inside a private building. The doctor was quickly transferred to a hospital in Luxor, underwent medical examinations, and was put in intensive care due to the seriousness of his injury.
جريمة الاعتداء على د.أحمد صلاح الدين استشاري التخدير تمت داخل سراى النيابة بالأقصر ؛ و إذا كان خبر إصابة الطبيب بطعنات وصلت للرئة و استدعت دخوله العناية المركزة ؛هو أمر متكرر رغم جسامة الجريمة ؛ فإن مكان الجريمة يستدعي الدراسة!

According to Egyptian authorities, the man was arrested and charged with attempted murder after stabbing the doctor in the back while he was drinking water.
Egypt's Doctors Syndicate in Luxor also took legal action against the individual and filed an official lawsuit accusing the man of attempted murder. Additionally, the syndicate is closely monitoring the doctor to ensure his safety and guarantee all his necessary legal rights.
The organization also stressed against any assault on local doctors, under any circumstances.
Egypt has recently witnessed an increase in such incidents. A surgeon in Northern Cairo also got assaulted by a member of parliament while working in the hospital, and another doctor was repeatedly beaten up by a patient who visited his clinic.

Verdict expected in Swedish trial over Daesh member's role in killing of Jordanian pilot
A Stockholm court is expected to deliver a landmark verdict Thursday in the case of Osama Krayem, a Swedish national accused of involvement in one of Daesh's crimes, the murder of Jordanian fighter pilot Muath al-Kasasbeh, who was burned alive in Syria in 2015. The trial, which took place from June 4 to 26, marks the first time any court has prosecuted an individual specifically for this killing, which triggered global outrage after a video of the execution was published by Daesh. The court is scheduled to announce its decision at 12:00 PM Jordan time (GMT+3). Kasasbeh, a Royal Jordanian Air Force pilot, was captured by Daesh fighters after his plane went down near Raqqa, Syria, on Dec. 24, 2014. He was later filmed being burned alive inside a cage, a scene that shocked the world and galvanized international efforts against the group. Although prosecutors could not pinpoint the exact date of the killing, they say they have identified the location where it occurred. Krayem, 32, born in Malmö in southern Sweden, was previously sentenced to 30 years in prison in France for helping plan the 2015 Paris attacks. He is also serving a life sentence in Belgium for his role in the 2016 Brussels bombings. In Sweden, prosecutors are seeking a life sentence, charging him with 'serious war crimes and terrorist crimes' for his alleged role in the execution. While Krayem refused to speak during court proceedings, portions of past interrogations were presented throughout the trial. Krayem's defense maintains he was only present at the site for a brief time and did not know what was about to happen. His lawyer claimed the accused had no role in the pilot's death beyond being nearby for '15 to 20 minutes.' But that explanation has not satisfied the legal team representing the Kasasbeh family. 'Most people who witnessed what Maaz went through would undoubtedly need lifelong, or at least long-term, treatment to overcome the trauma that this causes in a normal individual,' said Mikael Westerlund, the lawyer representing the pilot's brother, who traveled from Jordan to attend the hearings. 'Krayem, on the other hand, does not seem to have been traumatised, but inspired. Inspired to continue his terrorist activities, which led him to participate in and then be convicted of terrorist acts in Europe,' Westerlund added.

Thailand accuses Cambodia of 'flagrant violation' of truce
Thailand accused Cambodia on Wednesday of a "flagrant violation" of a truce deal to end cross-border fighting, saying Cambodian troops launched an overnight attack on the frontier. The nations agreed a ceasefire starting Tuesday after five days of clashes killed at least 43 on both sides, as a long-standing dispute over contested border temples boiled over into open combat on their 800-kilometre (500-mile) frontier. But Thailand's foreign ministry said its troops in Sisaket province "came under attack by small arms fire and grenade assaults launched by Cambodian forces" in an offensive which continued until Wednesday morning. "This represents a flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreement," said a foreign ministry statement. Thai government spokesman Jirayu Huangsab also reported overnight clashes but said in a statement "the Thai side maintained control of the situation" and "general conditions along the border are reported to be normal" from 8:00 am (0100 GMT). Cambodia has previously denied breaking the truce, intended to end fighting which has seen the two countries evacuate a total of more than 300,000 people from the border region. At a temple in Thailand's Surin city serving as a shelter and field kitchen 50 kilometres away from the frontier, volunteer Thanin Kittiworranun said evacuees remain in limbo. "We don't believe Cambodia will hold the ceasefire," the 65-year-old told AFP. But an AFP journalist on the Cambodian side who heard a steady drumbeat of artillery fire since fighting began last Thursday reported hearing no blasts between the start of the truce and Wednesday morning. And Beijing said deputy foreign minister Sun Weidong hosted a Shanghai meeting with Thai and Cambodian officials where both "reaffirmed to China their commitment to abide by the ceasefire consensus". 'Still fragile' The armistice got off to a shaky start in the early hours of Tuesday, with Thailand accusing Cambodia of continuing attacks in "a clear attempt to undermine mutual trust" -- before peace generally prevailed. Meetings between rival commanders along the border -- scheduled as part of the pact -- went ahead, with Thailand's army saying de-escalation steps were agreed including "a halt on troop reinforcements or movements that could lead to misunderstandings". But later in the day a foreign affairs spokeswoman for Bangkok's border crisis centre, Maratee Nalita Andamo, warned: "In this moment, in the early days of the ceasefire, the situation is still fragile". Jets, rockets and artillery have killed at least 15 Thai troops and 15 Thai civilians, while Cambodia has confirmed only eight civilian and five military deaths. The flare-up has surpassed the death toll of 28 in violence that raged sporadically from 2008 to 2011 over the territory, claimed by both nations because of a vague demarcation made by Cambodia's French colonial administrators in 1907.
