Defendant Alex W. is brought into a courtroom of the district court in Dresden, Germany, Monday, Oct. 26, 2009. The trial of the man accused of stabbing a pregnant Egyptian woman to death in a German court, an attack that outraged Muslims, opened Monday in the same courthouse, but under much greater security. Marwa al-Sherbini, 31, was giving evidence in July against a man charged with defamation for having called her a “terrorist” and “Islamist” when he attacked her. The young woman died after being stabbed 18 times. Her husband was also stabbed. (AP Photo/Ralf Hirschberger, Pool)
