Egyptian Brotherhood leaders to face trial for inciting murder

CAIRO (Reuters) - The leader of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood and his deputy will face trial in three weeks' time for crimes including incitement to murder during protests in the days before the overthrow of President Mohamed Mursi, a Cairo court announced on Sunday.

The move showed the army-backed interim government was pushing ahead with a crackdown against the Muslim Brotherhood, to which Mursi belongs, while international envoys try to help resolve the political crisis brought on by his removal by the army on July 3.

State news agency MENA quoted the court as saying it would start the trial of Mohamed Badie and his deputy Khairat el-Shater on August 25.

The general prosecutor also ordered the pre-trial detention for 15 days of Rifaa El-Tahtawy, Mursi's former chief-of-staff, and his deputy, who are accused of inciting the detention, torture and interrogation of protesters in 2012, MENA reported.

Mursi's allies view them as political detainees who should be included in talks to ease tensions.

Badie, who is not in custody, Shater and Rashad al-Bayoumi, another Brotherhood leader, are due to be tried alongside three others accused of killing at least two men in violence around the group's Cairo headquarters on June 30.

Arrested warrants were issued for Shater and Badie on July 4 on accusations of inciting the violence in which at least eight people were killed on a night of mass protests against Mursi.

Shater, a businessman seen as the Brotherhood's leading political strategist, had been the Islamist group's first choice candidate to run in last year's presidential election. But he was disqualified due to past convictions, forcing Mursi to take his place.

Bayoumi is being held in Torah prison on the outskirts of Cairo, the same place where former strongman Hosni Mubarak, who was toppled by a popular uprising in February 2011, and his sons Alaa and Gamal are detained.

Mursi, who has also been accused of murder and other crimes, is detained at an undisclosed location.

Miley Cyrus may have confirmed last month that her engagement to Liam Hemsworth is still on (despite speculation to the contrary), but the superstar doesn't seem to be in a rush to plan her Big Day.

Her little sister, Noah Cyrus, told reporters at VH1's Do Something Awards this week that her big sis hasn't locked in any wedding plans.

"I don't think they're planning yet," she said. Noah added that she wants to be maid of honor at the wedding, and hopes Miley picks out a cool dress for her. She said, "It better be a very, very cool dress that I have because I want to rock a dress!"

Cyrus and Hemsworth got engaged in May 2012; they began dating in 2009. At the time, Cyrus told People magazine, "I'm so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam." However, the couple's relationship has since been plagued by breakup rumors.

Ledecky wins 4th gold, set another WR at worlds

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) ? Katie Ledecky capped a brilliant world swimming championships with her fourth gold medal and second world record Saturday.

The 16-year-old American turned it on over the final laps to win the 800-meter freestyle in 8 minutes, 13.86 seconds. She powered to the wall like it was a sprint, not the last of 16 laps.

Lotte Friis of Denmark set the early pace but simply couldn't keep up when Ledecky turned it on, a repeat of their race in the 1,500 where the teenager broke the previous record by more than 6 seconds.

This time, Ledecky took down the mark of 8:14.10 set by Britain's Rebecca Adlington at the 2008 Olympics. Friis settled for another silver, and New Zealand's Lauren Boyle claimed the bronze ? the same order as in the 1,500.

Genesee County delaying bond sale, Wayne County rating cut ...






Originally Published: ??Modified: August 02, 2013 7:25 AM

By

A delayed bond sale by a Michigan county that's home to the birthplace of General Motors Co. shows how Detroit's fiscal distress is penalizing local governments in the eighth-largest U.S. state by population.

Genesee County put off the $54.2 million offering planned for yesterday, two weeks after Detroit entered the nation's biggest municipal bankruptcy. The sale would've been the largest in Michigan since the court filing, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Flint, GM's birthplace and the seat of Genesee County, is about an hour's drive northwest of the Motor City.

A proposal to pay off part of Detroit's general-obligation debt at deep discounts has worried some investors in municipal securities that the plan may set a precedent for other Michigan cities enduring fiscal stress. Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr's blueprint to avoid bankruptcy included the losses for bondholders. Yields are rising on Michigan bonds, pushing up the state's costs to borrow in the $3.7 trillion muni market.

"You're seeing credits associated with Michigan in general having a tough time and spreads widening out in sympathy," said Dexter Torres, head trader at New York-based Samson Capital Advisors LLC, which manages about $7 billion of municipal securities. Munis issued by the state have reflected a penalty at least since January, data compiled by Bloomberg show.

Yield penalty

The extra yield investors demand to own 10-year general-obligation securities sold by Michigan rather than top-rated debt rose to 0.44 percentage point Thursday, the most since July 12, Bloomberg data show. The spread has averaged about 0.45 percentage point this year as Detroit's fiscal crisis escalated.

Standard & Poor's may adjust ratings on general-obligation bonds from issuers throughout Michigan depending on how Detroit's debt is dealt with in bankruptcy, Jane Ridley, the New York-based company's primary Detroit analyst, said in an online presentation Thursday.

Terry Stanton, a spokesman for Michigan Treasurer Andy Dillon, didn't respond to a telephone message seeking comment on the treatment of debt from Michigan issuers.

"We believe it prudent for municipal investors to question whether they should pay any form of safety premium for Michigan general-obligation bonds relative to other forms of municipal liabilities," Shawn O'Leary and Molly Shellhorn, Nuveen Investments Inc. analysts in Chicago, said in a report following the bankruptcy filing for the state's most-populous city.

Widespread poverty

Flint, where GM founder William Durant once made horse carriages, is also run by a state-appointed emergency manager. About 38 percent of its 101,000 residents live in poverty, compared with 36 percent in Detroit, 19 percent for Genesee County and the 16 percent Michigan average, U.S. Census Bureau data show.

The county planned to sell bonds tied to water-system revenue, backed by a limited-tax general-obligation pledge, to help finance land and facilities to add supply from Lake Huron, according to offering documents. The county buys water from Flint, which gets it from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department. S&P rates Genesee debt A+, its fifth-highest rank.

Keith Francis, the county controller, and Deb Cherry, its treasurer, didn't respond to emails and telephone messages seeking comment on the delay. Paul Stauder at Stauder, Barch & Associates, the deal's financial adviser, also didn't respond to a voicemail seeking comment.

Justin Perras, a spokesman for New York-based JPMorgan Chase & Co., the lead underwriter, declined to comment.

Wayne County downgrade

Following Genesee County's delay, Moody's Investors Service cut its rating to Baa3 on Wayne County's almost $726 million in general-obligation limited-tax debt. Moody's cited fiscal pressures from a depreciating tax base and budget deficits, as well as Detroit's condition, for the single-step downgrade to one level above junk. The city is the county seat.

Saginaw County, north of Detroit, still plans to sell almost $61 million of general-obligation debt next week. The deal will help the county of about 198,000 residents finance unfunded pension liabilities of about $60 million. The bonds have an Aa3 rating from Moody's, the fourth-highest level.

"We think we will get positive attention toward this sale," Robert Belleman, Saginaw County's controller, said by telephone Thursday. "The county is in strong financial health and has limited outstanding debt. And people will see that this sale is more for budget stabilization."
