5B Thursday, August 15, 2013 – Daily News WORLD BRIEFING representative from Boko Haram, the Nigerian insurgency that has loose and informal ties to alQaida. Two other intelligence officials characterized the threat as more of an alert to get ready to launch potential attacks than a discussion of specific targets. Police storm camps supporting ousted Egypt president CAIRO (AP) — Riot police backed by armored vehicles, bulldozers and helicopters Wednesday swept away two encampments of supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi, setting off running street battles in Cairo and other Egyptian cities. At least 278 people were killed nationwide, many of them in the crackdown on the protest sites. Vice President Mohamed ElBaradei, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and pro-reform leader in the interim government, resigned in protest over the assaults as the military-backed leadership imposed a monthlong state of emergency and nighttime curfew. Clashes broke out elsewhere in the capital and other provinces as Islamist anger spread over the dispersal of the 6week-old sit-ins by Morsi's Islamist supporters that divided Egypt. It was the highest single day death toll since the 18-day uprising that toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011. The Health Ministry said 235 civilians were killed and more than 2,000 injured, while Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim said 43 policemen died in the assault. He said Morsi supporters attacked 21 police stations and seven Coptic Christian churches across the nation, and assaulted the Finance Ministry in Cairo, occupying its ground floor. After 5-year freeze, Israelis, Palestinians hold first peace talks JERUSALEM (AP) — With tensions high and expectations low, Israeli and Palestinian negotiators kicked off their first substantive round of peace talks in nearly five years, huddling together at an undisclosed location Wednesday in search of an end to decades of conflict. The meeting was cloaked in secrecy, an attempt by both sides to prevent leaks to the media and maintain trust. Officials would say only that the talks took place in Jerusalem, and there was no immediate comment Manning takes stand at sentencing from either side. The Israeli government released a brief video showing the chief negotiators shaking hands as the talks continued into the evening. Ahead of the meeting, there already were signs of trouble. A new Israeli push to build hundreds of new homes in Jewish settlements and fresh fighting in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip underscored the tough road ahead. ''We are committed to making the effort, for the sake of Israel and for Israel's values,'' Israel's chief negotiator, Tzipi Livni, told Channel 10 TV before the talks began. ''It will be complicated and complex, but I am not giving up.'' Late Wednesday, both sides confirmed the meeting had ended after several hours. A Palestinian official said they had agreed to meet weekly, alternating between Jerusalem and the West Bank town of Jericho. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sides' commitment to maintain secrecy. No further details were immediately available. Al-Qaida threat that closed US embassies discussed in chat room WASHINGTON (AP) — Al-Qaida fighters have been using secretive chat rooms and encrypted Internet message boards for planning and coordinating attacks — including the threatened if vague plot that U.S. officials say closed 19 diplomatic posts across Africa and the Middle East for more than a week. It's highly unlikely that al-Qaida's top leader, Ayman al-Zawahri, or his chief lieutenant in Yemen, Nasser al-Wahishi, were personally part of the Internet chatter or, given the intense manhunt for both by U.S. spy agencies, that they ever go online or pick up the phone to discuss terror plots, experts say. But the unspecified call to arms by the al-Qaida leaders, using a multi-layered subterfuge to pass messages from couriers to tech-savvy underlings to attackers, provoked a quick reaction by the U.S. to protect Americans in far-flung corners of the world where the terror network is evolving into regional hubs. For years, extremists have used online forums to share information and drum up support, and over the past decade they have developed systems that blend encryption programs with anonymity software to hide their tracks. Jihadist technology may now be so sophisticated and secretive, experts say, that many communications avoid detection by National Security Agency programs that were specifically designed to uncover terror plots. A U.S. intelligence official said the unspecified threat was discussed in an online forum joined by so many jihadist groups that it included a 112 Per Month No early cancellation, non-refundable WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison Wednesday for illegally spending $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items, the judge scolding the son of the famed civil rights leader for using the money as a ''piggy bank'' and sentencing his wife to a year as well. However, Jackson, who emotionally apologized to his father, mother, congressional colleagues and others, was given significantly less prison time than federal guidelines recommend, recognized by the judge as a ''complex person'' who has done both good and bad. Sandra Jackson, a former Chicago alderman, was sentenced for filing false joint federal income tax returns. After prison, the former congressman is to spend three years on supervised release and complete 500 hours of community service. If he earns credit for good behavior in prison, he could end up serving closer to two years. He agreed to repay the $750,000 when he pleaded guilty earlier this year.

(AP) — Pfc. Bradley Manning took the stand Wednesday at his sentencing hearing in the WikiLeaks case and apologized for hurting his country, pleading with a military judge for a chance to go to college and become a productive citizen. He addressed the court after a day of testimony about his troubled childhood in Oklahoma and the extreme psychological pressure that experts said he felt in the ''hyper-masculine'' military because of his gender-identity disorder — his feeling that he was a woman trapped in a man's body. ''I am sorry that my actions hurt people. I'm sorry that they hurt the United States,'' he said as he began. The soldier said that he understood what he was doing but that he did not believe at the time that leaking a mountain of classified information to the antisecrecy website would cause harm to the U.S. Manning, 25, could be sentenced to 90 years in prison for the leaks, which occurred while he was working as an Army intelli- gence analyst in Iraq in 2010. The judge will impose the sentence, though exactly when is unclear. www.redbluffdailynews.com Three additional online locations at no extra cost!
