MOSCOW  Russia's media oversight agency aims to take a newspaper to 
court over an article about a homosexual teacher in what appears to 
be the first case prepared against a publication under the country's law 
on gay propaganda.In September, a youth-oriented newspaper in Khabarovsk 
interviewed a teacher who had been fired over his sexual orientation. Quotes 
in the article prompted complaints to Roskomnadzor, the agency that supervises 
media conformance with law.A regional spokeswoman for the agency, Olga Shakhmatova, 
was quoted by the Interfax news agency on Wednesday as saying the 
article violated a law forbidding distribution to minors of material supporting 
non-traditional sexual relationships.She said documents would be sent to 
court soon, but Roskomnadzor officials said Friday they did not know if 
the case had been filed. The law calls for fines of up 
to 100,000 rubles ($3,300) for individuals and 1 million rubles ($33,000) 
for organizations along with a possible 90-day suspension.The law, passed 
this summer, has raised criticism abroad and caused concern about whether 
it would be applied to athletes and spectators at the Winter Olympics 
in the Russian city of Sochi in February.Homosexuality is not illegal in 
Russia, but animosity toward gays is high. The new law does not 
define either the criteria for considering an action or statement to be 
propaganda or what sort of distribution to minors is prohibited. Critics 
say the lack of cl

during heavy clashes with government forces, in the Salaheddine district 
in Aleppo, Syria.APSyrian rebel fighters linked with Al Qaeda have asked 
for "understanding and forgiveness" after mistakenly beheading one of their 
allies and putting the head on display.In a video posted online, members 
of Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham were shown holding up the 
head of what they thought was a supporter of President Bashar Assad 
before a crowd in Aleppo, The Telegraph reported.After the video was posted, 
the head was recognized as belonging to Mohammed Fares, a member of 
Ahrar al-Sham, a well-established rebel group that regularly fights alongside 
the Islamic State of Iraq, according to the report.Omar al-Qahtani, a spokesman 
for the Islamic State of Iraq, said Fares thought he had been 
captured by pro-Assad Shia fighters andasked them to kill him. Explaining 
the error, al-Qahtani said Allah would forgive a man who unknowingly killed 
a fellow believer.Earlier in the day, state-run Syrian television channel 
Al-Ikhbariya said two bombs exploded near a famous Damascus bazaar, killing 
at least one person and wounding seven.Bomb and mortar attacks are not 
uncommon in the Syrian capital.Meanwhile on Thursday, Assad and Russian 
leader Vladimir Putin discussed a proposed peace conference to end Syria's 
nearly three-year civil war and Damascus' efforts to put its chemical weapons
