Hazem el-Beblawi accused the group of a suicide bomb attack that ripped through a police station in the Nile Delta city of Mansouraon on Tuesday. The now-outlawed Muslim Brotherhood condemned the attack and denies any links to violence or to Sinai-based extremist groups. An Islamist militant group based in Sinai, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, said it carried out the blast which killed 16 and wounded about 140. Militant attacks intensified amid a clampdown by security forces after President Mursi, who belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood, was deposed in July. All activities of the Muslim Brotherhood are now banned including public demonstrations.

Turkey\'s government is in turmoil after three cabinet ministers resigned in the space of a single day.

The trio quit amid a high-level corruption probe engulfing the ruling AK Party.

Environment Minister Erdogan Bayraktar, rejecting allegations there had been pressure on him to step down, broke ranks with the party and said that if he was to go, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan should follow suit.

While Erdogan chose not to comment on the resignations, he defended his party in a speech on Wednesday, saying it owed its success to honesty, commitment to Turkey and its determination to fight against corruption.

But for Erdogan things have gone from bad to worse. Now a former interior minister says he is leaving AK Party ranks.

The cabinet departures follow the arrests of sons of the three ministers as police unveiled a probe into corruption claims involving the state-run Halkbank. The sons of Interior Minister Muammer Guler and Economy Minister Zafer Caglayan remain in custody, along with 22 others including the head of the bank, Suleyman Aslan. The Environment Minister\'s son was released without charge.

North Korea says it has executed Kim Jong-un\'s uncle, calling the leader\'s former mentor a traitor. The official news agency KCNA said Jang Song Thaek tried to seize power and overthrow the state. The announcement came days after Jang- long considered the country\'s second in command - was removed from all his posts because of a long list of allegations, including corruption, drug use, gambling and womanising.

There have been riots in the Egyptian city of Mansoura after the bombing of a police station that killed 14 people.

Police said on Tuesday three bombs had been planted before the explosion at the police station, two of which went off at almost at the same time. The third one, found in a car nearby, was defused.

They warned that the death toll from the bombing, which injured 150, could rise because more people might be trapped in the building.

Al Jazeera\'s Mohamed Fahmy, reporting from Cairo, said Ansar Beit al-Makdis, an armed group active in the Sinai peninsula, had claimed responsibility for bombing.

The group, which is also known as Ansar Jerusalem, posted their statement on the Internet, Fahmy said.

Despite the group\'s claim, there were anti-riots in Mansoura on Tuesday afternoon.

Hundreds of people attacked shops and businesses and set two vans reportedly owned by the Muslim Brotherhood on fire, according to Al Jazeera\'s Mahmoud Sobky, reporting from Mansoura.

The blast had prompted a cabinet statement declaring the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organisation, although officials did not directly accuse the group of staging the attack.

The Brotherhood, which is already outlawed, condemned the bombing as \

Evidence is emerging of mass ethnic killings amid the deepening conflict in South Sudan.

The United Nations says a grave containing 75 bodies has been found and other eyewitness accounts speak of hundreds being shot by security forces.

For the first time since World War II, Japan has provided ammunition to another country, supplying South Korean peacekeepers in South Sudan.

Hazem el-Beblawi accused the group of a suicide bomb attack that ripped through a police station in the Nile Delta city of Mansouraon on Tuesday. The now-outlawed Muslim Brotherhood condemned the attack and denies any links to violence or to Sinai-based extremist groups. An Islamist militant group based in Sinai, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, said it carried out the blast which killed 16 and wounded about 140. Militant attacks intensified amid a clampdown by security forces after President Mursi, who belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood, was deposed in July.

The trio quit amid a high-level corruption probe engulfing the ruling AK Party. Environment Minister Erdogan Bayraktar, rejecting allegations there had been pressure on him to step down, broke ranks with the party and said that if he was to go, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan should follow suit. While Erdogan chose not to comment on the resignations, he defended his party in a speech on Wednesday, saying it owed its success to honesty, commitment to Turkey and its determination to fight against corruption. But for Erdogan things have gone from bad to worse. Now a former interior minister says he is leaving AK Party ranks. The cabinet departures follow the arrests of sons of the three ministers as police unveiled a probe into corruption claims involving the state-run Halkbank. The sons of Interior Minister Muammer Guler and Economy Minister Zafer Caglayan remain in custody, along with 22 others including the head of the bank, Suleyman Aslan.

The official news agency KCNA said Jang Song Thaek tried to seize power and overthrow the state. The announcement came days after Jang- long considered the country's second in command - was removed from all his posts because of a long list of allegations, including corruption, drug use, gambling and womanising.

Mass Riots In Egypt After Bomb Attacks
Mass Riots In Egypt After Bomb Attacks

There have been riots in the Egyptian city of Mansoura after the bombing of a police station that killed 14 people. Police said on Tuesday three bombs had been planted before the explosion at the police station, two of which went off at almost at the same time. The third one, found in a car nearby, was defused. They warned that the death toll from the bombing, which injured 150, could rise because more people might be trapped in the building. Al Jazeera's Mohamed Fahmy, reporting from Cairo, said Ansar Beit al-Makdis, an armed group active in the Sinai peninsula, had claimed responsibility for bombing. The group, which is also known as Ansar Jerusalem, posted their statement on the Internet, Fahmy said. Despite the group's claim, there were anti-riots in Mansoura on Tuesday afternoon. Hundreds of people attacked shops and businesses and set two vans reportedly owned by the Muslim Brotherhood on fire, according to Al Jazeera's Mahmoud Sobky, reporting from Mansoura. The blast had prompted a cabinet statement declaring the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organisation, although officials did not directly accuse the group of staging the attack. The Brotherhood, which is already outlawed, condemned the bombing as "an attack on the unity of the Egyptian people". Thousands attend funeral Adly Mansour, Egypt's interim president, has declared three days of mourning and thousands attended a mass funeral in Mansoura, north of Cairo, on Tuesday. Mohamed Ibrahim, Egypt's interior minister, visited victims in the hospital where he promised that the January referendum would go ahead. "The security plans have been made and what happened will not affect the referendum process because it has its own comprehensive security plan," Ibrahim said. He said four people had been arrested after admitting their involvement in the attack. "The attacks are an attempt to create a diversion and to terrorise people because of the referendum," he said. "But I want to reassure people that there is a plan in place, in co-operation with the armed forces to protect all of the election centres at the highest level." Sections of the five storey building in the Nile Delta city has collapsed after the blast and police evacuated surrounding buildings.

Evidence is emerging of mass ethnic killings amid the deepening conflict in South Sudan. ... euronews, the most watched news channel in Europe Subscribe for your daily dose of international news, curated and explained:http://eurone.ws/10ZCK4a Euronews is available in 13 other languages: http://eurone.ws/17moBCU http://www.euronews.com/2013/12/24/massacres-and-executions-in-south-sudan-as-un-seeks-to-boost-peacekeeping-force Evidence is emerging of mass ethnic killings amid the deepening conflict in South Sudan. The United Nations says a grave containing 75 bodies has been found and other eyewitness accounts speak of hundreds being shot by security forces. For the first time since World War II, Japan has provided ammunition to another country, supplying South Korean peacekeepers in South Sudan. The UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon wants almost to double the size of its 7,000-strong peacekeeping force in the African country. Samantha Power, US Ambassador to the United Nations, said: "To immediately address the dire situation, the Secretary General has requested the security Council to authorise an additional 5,000 peacekeepers for UNMISS (United Nations Mission in South Sudan) and the United States is one of many council members, in fact all council members, that fully supports this proposal - to ensure that the mission has the assets and resources that it needs to fulfil its mandate." The ambassador added that as long as South Sudan's president and rebel leader remained at loggerheads, innocent people were being killed on nothing other than ethnic grounds. President Salva Kiir, a Dinka, and his Nuer former deputy Riek Machar have both indicated they are ready to talk. A government official, however, said South Sudan would not meet Machar's demand that detained opposition leaders be released. Meanwhile on the ground, the conflict between Dinka and Nuer groups has intensified. At Bor in Jonglei state, thousands are seeking protection at a UN compound and in churches. In the country overall it is thought the number killed may vastly exceed the official figure of 500. According to the UN's humanitarian coordinator, there are probably more than 100,000 internal refugees.
