Finally...
Ayman Nour's Al-Ghad party given license -- only the third time that a new party has been authorized in Egypt in almost three decades.

Plus, lots of party and political talk being covered everywhere... Mona Makram Ebeid slams the NDP in a Daily Star column... The Khaleej Times covers the Muslim Brotherhood iftar, where more political freedom is called for... And yet another detailed look at the opposition and would be parties activities, with a focus on Ayman Nour and El-Ghad. Plus, another group calls for Mubarak to step down... (VOA picks up the story). AP meanwhile, looks at political conversations going on at Al-Azhar after Friday prayers... And an Italian site covers opposition parties being upset about their Abdin protest rally being cancelled. 

Taba mastermind?
AP takes a detailed look at the radical change in personality experienced by the man Egyptian authorities are saying masterminded the Taba bombing. 

Plus, plots that are too simple to anticipate: paper looks at the ifs, ands and buts of the Taba investigation results

Meanhwile in Gaza...
Haaretz reports that "Israel leans toward accepting Egypt's offer of border troops".

 

What a question
Can Egyptians run a good pizza and grinder shop? A local story
from Boston.

Elements to preserve
More mummy secrets discovered...

Plus, the strange case of the Frenchman who was caught with smuggled artifacts..

 

Passing messages
In NY, Sheik Omar's lawyer's trial continues to heat up... Similar takes from the W Post and NY Times. 

To-do list
IMF chief gives Egypt an economic recovery to-do list.
