A couple news hits

Campus was briefly on lockdown this afternoon after the imam of the our University's mosque was attacked by a former student and stabbed.  Campus police quickly caught the man, the lockdown is over, and everybody is now safe.  Here's the story from the Gulf News.

Also in today's news, a woman accused of consensual sex (a crime in the UAE) has made waves in Dubai by refusing the judge's suggestion that she marry the dude in order to receive a lighter sentence.  Really fascinating story on several levels.  Check it out.
