Murder request The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Sheikh Salaeddine el Alami, has issued a general order authorising any Muslim to assassinate President Hafez Assad of Syria.

New feature New Orleans’ 125 adult bookstores, peep shows and X-rated theatres have a new feature — a uniformed policeman posted outside the door, who asks the name, age and address of every wouldbe patron. “The operation is simply a response to complaints from the public about these porno outfits and peep shows,” said a police spokesman. “Many of these places are attracting juveniles, undesirables and illegal activities.” — New Orleans.
