What's Happening in the Arab World?

What's happening?

As usual:-

Militants kill six Egyptian soldiers as unrest escalates

Three bombings, including an attack on an elementary school, killed at least 19 people and wounded at least 167 in Iraq Sunday.

A guard caught a woman planting a bomb next to a primary school in Iraq on Monday, while attacks elsewhere killed six security forces members, officials said.  The woman was trying to place the bomb next to the wall of a school in Madain, south of Baghdad, but was discovered by one of the school's guards, who turned her over to the army with the help of a second guard, an interior ministry official said.  The attempted bombing came a day after suicide bombers attacked a primary school and a nearby police station in northern Iraq, killing 18 people, including 10 children.  A total of 36 people were killed in attacks across Iraq on Sunday.

Security forces and Islamist protesters clashed in Egypt Sunday, leaving 51 killed, as a national holiday celebrating the military turned to mayhem. Crowds from Egypt's two rival camps — supporters of the ousted Islamist president, Mohammed Morsi, and backers of the military that deposed him — poured into the streets and turned on each other.
