Turkey vowed to root out allies of the US-based cleric it blames for an abortive coup last week, widening a purge of the army, police and judiciary on Tuesday to universities and schools, the intelligence agency and religious authorities. Around 50,000 soldiers, police, judges, civil servants and teachers have been suspended or detained since the coup attempt, stirring tensions across the country
The bombing in Karrada, Baghdad, on Sunday was one of the deadliest attacks by IS More than 160 people are now known to have died in Sunday's appalling attack in Baghdad.

Skorzeny and Krug drove into the woods north of Munich with two bodyguards to talk undisturbed. But once they arrived Skorzeny shot the scientist dead and he and his accomplices destroyed his body with acid, leaving no trace.

1. 『世界』最新号(10月号。9月8日発売)を見て驚いた。シリア情勢を扱った記事・論文が一つもないのである。シリアという言葉すら、管見の範囲ではどこにもない。 月刊誌であるから発売日までに間に合わなかった、ということでは恐らくないのである。校了日が何日かは分からないが、情勢のさらなる緊迫化を促した化学兵器使用による虐殺は8月21日であったから、校了日前に、少なくとも、比較的小さいスペースで時事問題を扱う「世界の潮」欄で取り上げることくらいはできたはずである。実際、私の編集部在籍中でも、校了日前に重大な事件が生じたために大急ぎで「世界の潮」欄に書いてもらう、というのは普通に行なわれていた。 また、同号の編集長による編集後記には、「品川正治さんが8月29日朝、亡くなられた。」との記述がある。8月29日朝と言えば、米国によるシリアへの軍事介入の是非が世界的に問題になっている時期であるが、この編

Ghouta, Syria — As the machinery for a U.S.-led military intervention in Syria gathers pace following last week’s chemical weapons attack, the U.S. and its allies may be targeting the wrong culprit. Interviews with people in Damascus and Ghouta, a suburb of the Syrian capital, where the humanitarian agency Doctors Without Borders said at least 355 people had died last week from what it believed to
