Siemens, CSCEC to build power plant in Iraq
A consortium of Germany's Siemens company and CSCEC of China have won a contract to build a power plant in Iraq. The gas-run plant replaces a power station that was devastated during the war against Islamic militants in Baiji city in the central Saladin governorate 10 years ago. Prime Minister Mohammed Al-Sudani laid the ground stone for the project on Saturday, saying it is part of an ongoing programme to tackle a persistent power supply gap in OPEC's second largest oil producer. The project has a generation capacity of 1,014 megawatts (MW) and involves rehabilitation of six damaged Siemens gas turbines and other facilities. 'Phase one of the project is scheduled to be completed within 27 months,' Sudani's information office said in a statement. (Writing by Nadim Kawach; Editing by Anoop Menon) (

In the West Bank, the archaeological site of Sebastia under Israeli control
Unfortunately for them, the villagers of Sebastia are sitting on a treasure trove. Like all citizens of the West Bank, the 4,000 inhabitants of this commune in the Nablus Governorate suffer daily from the Israeli occupation and the presence of settlers, almost at their doorstep. But this settlement, perched on a promontory, is also the victim of the greed of its Israeli neighbors, who covet an archaeological site of "great importance," according to renowned archaeologist Israel Finkelstein. The subsoil of the village and its surroundings indeed contains the remains of constructions, some dating back to the 9 th century BCE, when the first monarchs of the Kingdom of Israel established their capital there, under the name of Samaria ("Shomron" in Hebrew). Continuously occupied since the Iron Age, the site has subsequently witnessed Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Crusaders, soldiers of Saladin and Ottomans. Today, the site is almost entirely deserted. Except for tours led by settlers under the protection of the Israeli army, tourists no longer visit the ancient acropolis. On a day in April, not a single history buff roamed between the columns of the palace of Herod Antipas, tetrarch of Galilee; no one was strolling through what remains of the Byzantine cathedral, erected where, according to tradition, Saint John the Baptist was beheaded on Herod's orders. No one was standing at the foot of the Roman theater and the Hellenistic wall. As for the ruins of ancient Samaria, they were frequented by the sheep and goats of a Palestinian shepherd, at least when Israeli soldiers are not patrolling the area.
