Medical Student Found Competent for Trial

AP Online; 1/12/2005

Dateline: PHILADELPHIA A judge ruled Tuesday that a medical student accused of beating a female classmate to death with a baseball bat is mentally competent to stand trial.

Defense lawyers had asked for the mental-health evaluation, maintaining that Nader Ali, 26, is psychotic, schizophrenic and bipolar.

Ali is accused of killing 25-year-old Lea Sullivan, a classmate at Jefferson Medical College, on Nov. 7 as she left a supermarket on a trendy South Philadelphia street. Ali had been asked to leave the school last spring, after he began exhibiting strange behavior.

Sullivan, an outgoing, athletic Harvard graduate from Philadelphia's Main Line, died of massive head injuries a day after the attack.

A preliminary hearing for Ali, of Franklin Lakes, N.J., is set for March 16.

Translator guilty of stealing secrets.

The Boston Herald; 1/11/2005

A former Salem man accused of taking secret documents to Egypt from his job as an Arabic translator at Guantanamo Bay pleaded guilty to federal charges yesterday in a plea deal that could free him in two months.

Ahmed Fathy Mehalba, 32, a U.S. citizen working for an Army contractor, was caught at Logan International Airport Sept. 29, 2003, with the documents on one of 132 CD's in his luggage. In the agreement, the government said that Mehalba suffered from diminished mental capacity at the time and is being treated for bipolar disorder.
