Orascom hostages update
Khaleej Times reports on diplomatic moves to secure the hostages' release. Orascom imposes a news blackout on hostage info. Egyptians and other Arab expats living and working in Baghdad are getting scared... And suddenly, MENA reports that one hostage has been freed.

Meanwhile, AFP reports that Egypt said Monday it will host an international conference on Iraq elections next month.

Synchronized azhan...
Zaqzouq speaks to AP about the unified call to prayer plan. Mufti Ali Gomaa also endorses the  synchronized azhan plan. But VOA says not everyone is happy.

Still talking about reform
Christian Science Monitor says the best thing about all the reform talk surrounding the NDP conference was the opening up of discussion on previously taboo issues.

 

Animals on the road
USA Today takes a colorful look at the Lion's village and an African safari on the burgeoning Cairo-Alexandria desert highway.

News travels fast
This item had been making the rounds of the more seedy rumor mongering world press for a few days, but now it's hit the mainstream. MSNBC covers the Egyptian parliament's alleged banning of Madonna from visiting the country (although she didn't say she was coming in the first place) after she openly declared her support for Israel by visiting that country last week.

 

New faces
Egypt squad for 8 October World Cup qualifier against Libya announced.

Meanwhile, "I'm well fine here at Rome,” Mido gushed. “It's a city I already knew because I used to come many times as I have Italian friends.”

PLUS -- Egyptian soccer pro in Europe stuck in stolen watch scandal...

Russians show prejudice
Flight not allowed to leave for Egypt until veiled woman taken off board.
