Paris court upholds Carlos the Jackal life sentence
France's Court of Cassation on Wednesday rejected a final appeal by Ilich Ramirez Sanchez known as Carlos the Jackal. He is serving a life term for the 1975 murders of two French secret agents Raymond Dous and Jean Donatini and an alleged informer Michel Moukharbal. Ramirez, Venezuelan-born, was a Cold War figure tied to bombings and hostage crises, including the 1975 seizure of OPEC ministers and suspected links to the 1976 Entebbe hijacking.

Egypt to close Chephren pyramid for year of repairs
Egypt will seal Chephren pyramid at Giza to allow crack repairs and new lighting and ventilation projects inside its interior passages. The closure starts July 1 and lasts about one year as part of a broader tourism boost plan following the reopening of Cheops pyramid. A separate call by a Christian group urged release of a January killing investigation report into Australian missionary Graham Staines and his two sons, whose deaths in Orissa prompted scrutiny of the commission.
