...exhibition "Cleopatra of Egypt: From History to Myth," which runs until Aug. 26 and includes some new finds and interpretations.

...ALGERIA Violence Begets Violence in North Africa Berber demonstrators took on police in the Algerian city of Bejaïa.

His Palestine Liberation Organization gambits to become the de facto leader in Jordan and later in Lebanon dragged both countries into civil war. In the Gulf War, he bet on Saddam. This was all well before Arafat was ever on speaking terms with the Israelis...
