Saudi general 'may have been tortured to death' during Ritz-Carlton crackdown

Posted: 12 Mar 2018 07:08 AM PDT

Saudi general 'may have been tortured to death' during Ritz-Carlton crackdownA Saudi general may have been tortured to death and several wealthy businessmen were allegedly abused in captivity at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel during Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's recent crackdown on powerful figures in Saudi Arabia, according to a newspaper report. More than 200 businessmen, princes and government officials were detained in November and imprisoned at the luxury hotel in Riyadh in what the Saudi government said was an anti-corruption drive.  According to the New York Times, some of the powerful detainees may have suffered abuse at the hands of their captors as they were coerced into agreements to hand over billions of dollars to the Saudi government in return for their freedom.  Saudi Arabia has dismissed the allegations of abuse as "absolutely untrue".  The most dramatic accusation involves Major General Ali al-Qahtani, an aide to a senior Saudi prince seen as a potential rival to the 32-year-old Prince Mohammed, who died in government custody in mid-December.  The report was published shortly before Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman arrives in the US for meetings with the Trump administration Credit: AFP PHOTO / Saudi Royal Palace / BANDAR AL-JALOUD Sources told the newspaper that the general's "neck was twisted unnaturally as though it had been broken" and that his body had burn marks which appeared to be the result of electric shocks.  General Qahtani was taken to hospital in November but was reportedly returned to his interrogation after being seen by doctors. The government has not offered an official explanation for how he died.  The general's death had been widely reported in Arab and Iranian media previously but not in detail. The US report comes shortly before Prince Mohammed, known by his initials "MBS", is due in Washington for meetings with the Trump administration.  General Qahtani was an aide to Prince Turki bin Abdullah, a former governor of Riyadh who is from a rival line of the Saudi royal family to Prince Mohammed. Prince Turki was himself detained during the November crackdown on allegations of corruption. He was eventually released. The rise of MBS A further 16 detainees were allegedly left in need of medical treatment after their abuse. Some reportedly told family members they had been beaten, deprived of sleep, or interrogated with hoods over their heads.  "All allegations of abuse and torture of those investigated during the anti-corruption proceedings are absolutely untrue," a Saudi official said.

U.S. warns if Security Council doesn't act on Syria, it will

Posted: 12 Mar 2018 12:25 PM PDT

U.S. warns if Security Council doesn't act on Syria, it willU.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley warned on Monday that if the U.N. Security Council fails to act on Syria, Washington "remains prepared to act if we must," just as it did last year when it bombed a Syrian government air base over a deadly chemical weapons attack. "It is not the path we prefer, but it is a path we have demonstrated we will take, and we are prepared to take again," Haley told the 15-member Security Council. "When the international community consistently fails to act, there are times when states are compelled to take their own action." Haley's warning came as the United States asked the Security Council to demand an immediate 30-day ceasefire in Damascus and rebel-held eastern Ghouta, where Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's forces, backed by Russia and Iran, say they are targeting "terrorist" groups which are shelling the capital.

Palestinian prime minister survives assassination attempt in Gaza as bomb hits his convoy

Posted: 13 Mar 2018 05:52 AM PDT

Palestinian prime minister survives assassination attempt in Gaza as bomb hits his convoyThe Palestinian prime minister survived an assassination attempt during a rare visit to Hamas-controlled Gaza on Tuesday, putting a fresh strain on the already torrid relations between the two leading Palestinian factions. Rami Hamdallah, the prime minister of the Fatah-controlled Palestinian Authority, had just entered Gaza when a roadside explosive detonated near his convoy. Mr Hamdallah was not injured but seven of his guards and aides suffered slight wounds, according to Palestinian media. The explosion came hours before the White House was due to hold a summit on the humanitarian situation in Gaza.  It was not immediately clear who was behind the attempted assassination but a spokesman for Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, said he held Hamas responsible as "the de facto power in Gaza".  Hamas immediately hit back at Mr Abbas, saying that his claims played into the hands of Israel. "We strongly reject the hasty accusations of the Palestinian presidency against the movement, which satisfies the goals of the criminals," the group said in a statement.  Rami Hamdallah (centre) continued his visit despite the bombing Credit: MAHMUD HAMS/AFP/Getty Images The largely secular Fatah and the Islamist movement Hamas have been at odds since 2006, when Hamas beat Fatah in elections and then seized control of Gaza by force, fighting gun battles in the streets against Fatah-aligned security troops.   The estrangement has left Gaza under the control of Hamas while the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority is in charge of some parts of the occupied West Bank, while the Israeli military controls other parts. The two Palestinian factions have gone through several faltering attempts at reconciliation in the last decade and Mr Hamdallah's visit to Gaza was part of the latest reconciliation effort, which has been brokered by Egypt.   The bomb went off at the side of the road shortly after Mr Hamdallah's motorcade entered Gaza from Israel. The prime minister was accompanied by Majid Faraj, the Palestinian intelligence chief, who was also uninjured in the attack. Suspicion for the attack immediately fell on the smaller, more radical Islamist factions which operate in Gaza. The factions include Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which sometimes cooperates with Hamas and is other times a rival to them.   Video shows the moment of the explosion #فيديو جديد يوثق لحظة استهداف موكب رئيس الوزراء رامي الحمد الله pic.twitter.com/q79nSqmCbO— فلسطين الآن (@paltimes2015) March 13, 2018 Mr Hamdallah went ahead with a planned speech at a sewage treatment plant in Gaza, as heavily armed guards surrounded him. He said the attack would not stop him from returning to Gaza and continuing to work towards Palestinian unity.   Mr Hamdallah, a former academic, is seen as a political moderate and has maintained cordial relations with the US, EU and even some Israeli officials.   His conciliatory tone after the bombing was not matched by Mr Abbas, the Palestinian president, who has taken a hard line against Hamas and last year cut back electricity payments to Gaza to put pressure on the group.  "The Palestinian presidency condemned the attack and held Hamas, the de facto power in Gaza, responsible," said a statement from the official Palestinian news agency.   "Presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh said the attack on the consensus government is an attack on the unity of the Palestinian people." A bodyguard of the Palestinian Prime Minister and a Hamas security officer escort the PM's convoy as he leaves Gaza City Credit: MAHMUD HAMS/AFP/Getty Images The explosion came shortly before Jared Kushner, Mr Trump's son in law and key aide for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, was due to host a "brainstorming session" on Gaza at the White House.  The goal was to find "real solutions to the problems that Hamas has caused", said Jason Greenblatt, Mr Trump's peace envoy. The summit will include officials from Israel and several Arab countries as well as Europe. But the meeting has been derided because no Palestinian representatives will be present.  Hamas is considered a terrorist group by the US and was not invited. The Palestinian Authority are boycotting US initiatives after Mr Trump officially recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in December.  Mr Greenblatt condemned the assassination attempt. "Gazans have been brought to the brink of collapse by Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other extremist groups. Attack on Palestinian Authority delegation opening water treatment plant is an attack on the welfare of the people of Gaza," he said on Twitter

U.S. Interior chief defends travel spending, blasts 'insults'By Valerie Volcovici WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke on Tuesday defended his use of private planes and challenged reports of lavish spending, saying he was tired of "innuendo" and "insults." Zinke, who spoke before a Senate committee, has been dogged by the release of details of his use of charter planes and helicopters for travel, as well as recent receipts showing the department spent more than $130,000 to install new doors at his office at a time of proposed budget cuts and fee hikes at national parks. "I resent the fact of your insults, and I resent the fact that you mislead," Zinke told Senator Maria Cantwell, the top Democrat on the Senate Energy Committee, after she pressed him on his spending. The hearing concerned the Interior Department's 2019 budget.

Prince George wants to join the police, his father suggests 

Posted: 13 Mar 2018 03:05 PM PDT

Prince George wants to join the police, his father suggests Prince George could be interested in joining the police, his father has suggested. Speaking as he met winners of the Metropolitan Police Excellence Awards at a reception in Kensington Palace, the Duke of Cambridge revealed that his four-year-old son has shown an interest in the police force. The Duke met cadet of the year Nabil Laasid, who has completed almost 1,000 hours of volunteering in the last year, and was one of the first cadets to volunteer after the Grenfell Tower fire. He was nominated by Jayne Richardson who joked with William that his children could join the cadets. After the event, she said: "We're only based just down the road in Kensington and I said to him 'Perhaps Prince George and Princess Charlotte could join the police cadets'. "And he said 'Well he does like the police at the moment'." Prince William and Prince Harry, met Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick at the reception Credit: AFP / Adrian Dennis He and Prince Harry praised the "impressive" and "inspiring" police officers, staff and volunteers who won awards for their work. William and Harry also met Conservative MP Tobias Ellwood who won an outstanding contribution award for his efforts in rushing to help Pc Keith Palmer during the Westminster terror attack. Mr Ellwood, a former soldier, told William about how "instinct kicked in" as the attack unfolded last March. The Duke said: "Everyone did all they could I'm sure." William met Investigation of the Year award winner DC Hannah Stewart, who led a time sensitive and logistically challenging investigation into a child sexual abuse offence. The victim had motor neurone disease, with a life expectancy of less than six months, and was no longer able to speak. Prince Harry jokes with Metropolitan Police officers  Credit: ADRIAN DENNIS/AFP DC Stewart arranged for a specialist neurologist to act as an intermediary between her and the victim. She arranged for a private company to install specialist technology that would let the victim give evidence by blinking. On the day of the verdict, the victim died, not knowing that the defendant had been convicted. William congratulated her on her award and described her work as "very impressive". The royals also met police officer of the year, Pc Philip Stone, who co-ordinates the work of the Met's Disaster Victim Identification Cadre, which organises the national and international recovery and identification of human remains for the coroner to repatriate them to their families. Pc Stone discussed Grenfell Tower with William and afterwards the officer described his team's work there as "very, very difficult". He said he had already met the Duke at Grenfell in the aftermath of the tragedy. As they left, William described the group as "really inspiring", while Harry said: "Well done guys." Met Commissioner Cressida Dick said the force is "really grateful" to William and Harry for finding time for them. "It's wonderful for our guys and girls to be here and to enjoy such a treat. "They're really excited and have had a lovely time. "They all spoke very openly and clearly and frankly about what they do, and what they do is ... you know they take it for granted, but it is extraordinary for many of them," she said. The Commissioner said William and Harry are "very knowledgeable", adding: "We're very grateful because they've been supporting us in a variety of different ways over the last several years." She said they are "interested in policing" and in how the force keeps the public safe. The Commissioner said the pair have taken a great interest in crime that affects young people, such as knife crime. The seventh annual awards ceremony, held on Friday, celebrated the work of police officers in London. Pc Palmer was posthumously honoured at the ceremony for his heroic response during the Westminster attack. The officer, who was stabbed to death when he confronted attacker Khalid Masood outside the Houses of Parliament, was named the winner of the outstanding bravery of the year prize.
