<b>CAIRO, EGYPT - A large explosion has severely damaged the Italian consulate in Egypt's capital, Cairo.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The health ministry says at least one person has died. Four people were also injured, medical sources said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The blast was caused by a car bomb, an official told the state-run news agency <b>Mena</b>. No group has yet said it carried out the attack.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The embassy was closed and no civilian staff members are among the injured, an embassy official told <b>AP</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Egypt's public prosecutor, Hisham Barakat, was killed last month by a car bomb attack in the city.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the same month, another car bomb targeting a police station left three people dead.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Egyptian security forces have been battling Islamic militants, but the fighting has been mostly confined to the Sinai Peninsula.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Militants in Egypt have killed at least 600 police and armed forces personnel in the past two years.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The militants stepped up their attacks after the military overthrew Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in July 2013.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In recent weeks, Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi has promised to crack down further on Islamist militants.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hundreds of Muslim Brotherhood members, including ousted President Mohammed Morsi, have been sentenced to death by Egypt's courts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The majority remain on death row awaiting execution, the <b><a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-33491512">BBC</a></b> reports.</div>

<b>CAIRO, EGYPT - Wadi Degla has suspended midfielder Ahmad al-Marghani after he posted critical comments on Facebook about his country's president.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An Egyptian Premier League football team has suspended one of its top players for the rest of the season after he posted comments online critical of the country's president, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wadi Degla kept Ahmad al-Marghani on the bench from Thursday's Cairo derby with al-Ahly - days after he used Facebook to criticise the president's handling of the <a href="http://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2015/7/1/militants-launch-major-attack-in-sinai-on-coup-anniversary">recent militant attacks</a> in Sinai.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The club later decided to suspend Margahani for the season for his comments.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Marghani <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ahmed.m.mohamed.98499">posted</a>:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You told the people come out and let me to fight terrorism. The people filled the streets even though [fighting terrorism] should've been your job in the first place. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ever since then everyone is dying civilians, soldiers and policemen and where are you? All we ever get from you is words.</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He called Sisi a "failure" and held him responsible for the killed servicemen in Sinai.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
Is a state of mourning not going to be declared for them and the television soaps cancelled? Or are they not as important as the state prosecutor?</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A team representative <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIVjoVexr-o">called</a> to a popular talk show and said: "We've suspended him for the rest of the season, everything he's said is unacceptable on the national level.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"He can say what he wants when he's with his mates at a cafe but not on social media when he is representing the team."</div>

Egypt's Abou-Treika Appeals Asset-Freeze Decision

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb-_aN6pqQSOd0wEvM_7qf_qM68WUU-GFSKQYo4EvhvzLsVeUFVimmGh9t9Wz8vx5Vv5shFjkKnICe2vxLfPDqsqLJtx8mYLN1W0TbN31pfCfKchfkT34eSoBWKAdiV_PJeO-N2BaKe9I1/s1600/Aboutreika.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb-_aN6pqQSOd0wEvM_7qf_qM68WUU-GFSKQYo4EvhvzLsVeUFVimmGh9t9Wz8vx5Vv5shFjkKnICe2vxLfPDqsqLJtx8mYLN1W0TbN31pfCfKchfkT34eSoBWKAdiV_PJeO-N2BaKe9I1/s1600/Aboutreika.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Egypt’s popular footballer Mohamed Abou-Treika filed an appeal on Tuesday against a government committee decision to freeze his assets for allegedly having Muslim Brotherhood-links.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In his appeal, Abou-Treika cited that the decision, carried out by the committee assigned to seize the properties and finances of members of the banned Muslim Brotherhood, was based on a verdict by a court that doesn’t have jurisdiction to rule on the issue.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Almost two weeks ago, the committee issued a statement saying it decided to confiscate the assets of Ashab Tours, a tourism company which was co-founded in 2013 by Abou-Treika and an unnamed member of the Brotherhood.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The committee said that the manager of that company, Anas Mohamed Omar El-Kady, is a member of the banned group. It added that El-Kadi, who is currently detained pending trial in Alexandria, is accused of committing "hostile acts against the state."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The committee charged that Ashab's funds were used to finance "terrorist attacks," arguing that the decision to confiscate the company's assets was based on a court ruling related to the trial of El-Kady.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Abou-Treika already filed a petition against the decision, which was turned down.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Upon hearing of the committee's initial decision against him, the popular footballer had vowed "to never leave Egypt." </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 36-year-old Abou-Treika retired from professional football in 2014 after leading Egypt’s most successful club Ahly to a host of domestic and continental victories, in addition to remarkable international feats.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The football star supported Mohamed Morsi during the 2012 election but has remained largely tight-lipped about his political allegiances since the ex-president's ouster in 2013.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Public and private media outlets, which opposed the Brotherhood's rule and attacked the group's refusal to recognise the post-Morsi government, have regularly accused Abou-Treika of affiliation with the banned group.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Abou-Treika has the legal right to challenge the committee's decision in court.</div>
