    Germany says its forces were prevented from carrying out a full search of a Turkish ship suspected of taking weapons to Libya.

    The defence ministry in Berlin said its personnel got aboard the vessel, but had to abandon the operation after Turkey protested to the European Union (EU).

    Germany is part of an EU naval mission that's trying to enforce an arms embargo on Libya.

    Turkish security sources said the Germans had violated international law by not waiting for permission to start the search.

    The Turks say it found nothing apart from aid supplies and other harmless cargo.

  4. Another Egyptian rights group member arrested

    A senior member of an Egyptian rights group has been arrested, days after two of his colleagues were detained.

    The Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EiPR) said that its executive director, Gasser Abdel-Razek, was arrested at his home in Maadi, south of the capital, Cairo, and taken to an unknown location.

    The group's office manager, Mohammed Basheer, was arrested on Sunday while a director of criminal justice, Karim Ennarah, was arrested on Wednesday.

    Senior EU diplomats had visited EiPR on 3 November for a briefing on the human rights situation.

    There has been growing international criticism. The US had earlier expressed concern over the first two detentions.
