Islamist rebels in northern Mali smashed four more tombs of ancient Muslim saints in Timbuktu as the International Criminal Court warned their campaign of destruction was a war crime.

The hardline Islamists who seized control of Timbuktu along with the rest of northern Mali three months ago, consider the shrines to be idolatrous and have wrecked seven tombs in two days.

Mali's government and the international community have expressed horror and outrage at the destruction of cultural treasures in the fabled city, an ancient desert crossroads and centre of learning known as the "City of 333 Saints".

"My message to those involved in these criminal acts is clear: stop the destruction of the religious buildings now," ICC Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda told AFP in an interview in Dakar.

"This is a war crime which my office has authority to fully investigate."

She said that Mali was signatory to the Rome Statute which established the ICC, which states in Article 8 that deliberate attacks against undefended civilian buildings which are not military objectives are a war crime.

"This includes attacks against historical monuments as well as destruction of buildings dedicated to religion," said Bensouda.

On Saturday the Islamists destroyed the tombs of Sidi Mahmoud, Sidi Moctar and Alpha Moya, and on Sunday attacked four more including Cheikh el-Kebir's mausoleum as residents stood by helplessly.

Crying "Allahu Akbar" (God is Greatest), the men carrying chisels and hoes smashed the tombs.

"There are many of us watching them destroy the mausoleum. It hurts but we can't do anything. These madmen are armed, we can't do anything but they will be cursed that is for sure," a journalist said on condition of anonymity.

He said the destruction at the Djingareyber cemetery ended in the late afternoon, with four tombs in total destroyed. The Islamists also destroyed earthenware jars and other artifacts around the tombs.

The cemetery is situated in the south of Timbuktu in the suburb of the eponymous Djingareyber mosque built from mud in 1327.

Another resident of Timbuktu, a former tour operator, said the Islamists had also threatened to destroy the ancient mosques.

"This morning (Sunday) the Islamists told us that if there are saints inside the mosques, they will also destroy these mosques."

Several saints are buried inside the city's three historic mosques. Timbuktu is also home to 16 cemeteries and mausoleums, according to the UNESCO website.

The Islamist fighters from Ansar Dine (Defenders of Faith) are among the Al-Qaeda-linked armed groups which occupied the north of Mali in the chaos that emerged after a March coup in Bamako.

Their presence in Timbuktu and continued violence in the region prompted UNESCO on Thursday to list the city as an endangered site.

"It is Islam which is good," Ansar Dine spokesman Sanda Ould Boumama said when asked about the outpouring of anger and emotion over the destruction of the mausolea.

"God is unique. All of this is haram (forbidden in Islam). We are all Muslims. UNESCO is what?" Boumama said on Saturday.

He said the group was acting in the name of God and would "destroy every mausoleum in the city. All of them, without exception".

Mali's Culture and Tourism Minister Fadima Diallo on Sunday urged the United Nations to take action to preserve her country's heritage.

"Mali exhorts the UN to take concrete steps to stop these crimes against the cultural heritage of my people," she told UNESCO's annual meeting in the Russian city of Saint Petersburg.

"I am pleading for the international community's solidarity," she said, ending her emotional address by saying: "God help Mali".

United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon deplored the destruction of tombs, with his spokesman Martin Nesirky quoting him as saying: "Such attacks against cultural heritage sites are totally unjustified."

Nesirky added: "The secretary-general calls on all parties to exercise their responsibility to preserve the cultural heritage of Mali."

Ban also reiterated his support for ongoing efforts of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the African Union and countries in the region to "help the government and people of Mali resolve the current crisis through dialogue."

The attacks were reminiscent of the Taliban blowing up the giant Buddhas of the Bamiyan valley in Afghanistan -- an ancient Buddhist shrine on the Silk Road and a world heritage site -- in 2001 after branding them un-Islamic.

UNESCO session chairwoman Yeleonor Mitrofanova told a meeting in Saint Petersburg that the destruction was tragic news.

"I appeal to all those engaged in the conflict in Timbuktu to exercise their responsibility -- for the sake of future generations, spare the legacy of their past," she said.

In a matter of months Mali has gone from one of west Africa's stable democracies to a nation gripped by deadly chaos.

The March 22 coup eased the way for Tuareg separatist rebels -- descendants of those who founded Timbuktu in the fifth century -- to carry out the armed takeover of an area larger than France they consider their homeland.

However the previously unknown Ansar Dine group fighting on their flanks seized the upper hand, openly allied with Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, and have since pushed the Tuareg from all positions of power.

The international community fears the vast desert area will become a new haven for terrorist activity and the Islamists have threatened any country that joins a possible military intervention force in Mali.

After years of honing his tennis skills in relative isolation, Riaan du Toit is looking forward to a more collaborative approach when he attends the University of New Mexico this fall.

To accommodate his practice schedule and the frequent travel that his tennis career demands, the 18-year-old Abbotsford resident completed his high school studies by homeschooling through Fraser Valley Distance Education.

When he arrives in Albuquerque in September, du Toit knows he?ll be in for quite a transition in terms of both tennis and school. His schedule will be more regimented on both fronts, and he?ll be working alongside other people to a greater degree in class and with the Lobos tennis team.

But it?s a transition that du Toit is thrilled about.

?Up here, it?s not always easy getting the right training and the right environment (for tennis),? he noted. ?It?s tough with the facilities, and the other players all have their own thing going.

?In university, there?s going to be a set schedule for my tennis, and I?ll know for a fact that I?m playing for this many hours, going to the gym for this many hours, going to a tournament this weekend. I think just because of that, I?ll end up playing a lot more than I have before. I definitely think it?s going to improve my game.?

Du Toit has racked up plenty of frequent flyer miles over the past 12 months, traveling to International Tennis Federation (ITF) junior tournaments around the globe.

Last August, he won both the singles and doubles titles at an ITF event in Burlington, Ont. Then it was off to Florida for the renowned Junior?Orange Bowl and Eddie Herr international tournaments, where his solid performances piqued interest from several NCAA programs ??Penn State, Wake Forest and Tennessee, in addition to New Mexico.

He also traveled to ITF tourneys in Tunisia and South Africa, and made it to the singles final in Tunisia. Along the way, he boosted his ITF junior ranking as high as 251st in the world.

Du Toit settled on New Mexico as his NCAA program of choice after visiting the campus in January.

?They had some Canadians that had gone there previously, and it?s such a friendly environment,? he explained. ?It was definitely a welcoming experience.?

Riaan comes by his talent honestly. His father Andre is a tennis coach who used to run an academy in his native South Africa, and older siblings Charles and Trudie had highly decorated junior careers.

Trudie also earned an NCAA scholarship ??she recently completed her senior year at the University of Oregon.

?She just enjoyed it so much, and she said I won?t have any trouble transitioning,? Riaan said. ?I think I?ll fit right in. Socially, it?ll be a great experience.?

Du Toit?s goal is to play pro tennis one day, and if all goes well, he?d love to embark on that journey after two or three years at New Mexico.

He models his game after Novak Djokovic, the five-time Grand Slam champ from Serbia who is currently ranked No. 1 in the world.

?He?s got an attitude, but I try to look past that,? du Toit said with a chuckle. ?I just like his game. He?s kind of in between (Roger) Federer and (Rafael) Nadal ??between the power and the spin. I think that?s the perfect medium. What more could you want??

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) ? Iran's state TV is reporting that a 5.4 magnitude earthquake has jolted a sparsely populated area in the eastern part of the country.

The Monday report says people poured into the streets out of fear after the quake hit Khauf town, some 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) east of the capital Tehran, in the darkness of early morning.

There was no information on possible casualties and damage.

Iran is located on seismic fault lines and is prone to earthquakes, experiencing at least one slight quake a day on average.

In 2003, some 26,000 people were killed by a magnitude 6.6 quake that flattened the historic southeastern city of Bam.

After making an unofficial visit to Notre Dame that stretched to parts of three days, class of 2013 linebacker Michael Deeb talked with his dad for the entire three-hour flight home from Chicago to Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

The two were looking for a reason that Deeb shouldn?t commit to Notre Dame, but they couldn?t find one.

On Friday, Deeb told his teammates and coaches at morning workouts at American Heritage School in Plantation, Fla., that he was ready to commit and then called Notre Dame. Deeb announced his commitment to the world on Twitter at 12:18 p.m. EDT.

?Thankful and blessed to make the decision to commit to THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME!!! #ND #IrishMob13,? Deeb tweeted.

With that, Deeb became the 16th commitment to the 2013 class and the third linebacker commit in the month of June. The 16 verbal commitments to the class equal the number of freshmen currently enrolled at Notre Dame from the 2012 recruiting class.

At Notre Dame, Deeb found a school that he felt he fit in at.

?Overall, it?s just so dominant in all areas ? whether it?s academics, the spiritual side of it, and the football tradition is unmatched at Notre Dame,? Deeb said. ?I really like the coaching staff, the way they envision how to get their team better and win a national championship.?

Deeb started his visit on Monday evening after visiting Northwestern. He remained on campus until Wednesday morning when he returned to Chicago.

?Everywhere we went on campus, I really could envision myself being a part of that family and joining the Notre Dame family,? Deeb said. ?Ultimately, I think I was ready to pull the trigger while I was there. It was just that I needed to make sure and go home, talk it over with my parents, and make sure that as a family, this was the best decision for me and them.?

Deeb, a 6-foot-2, 238-pound inside linebacker prospect, was offered by Notre Dame in May after recruiting coordinator Tony Alford and defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Bob Diaco evaluated him in person at American Heritage this spring. His relationships with Alford and Diaco played a large role in his decision.

?I think coach Alford is really like a father figure to many of the guys on the team,? Deeb said. ?I?ve built a really good relationship with him and he?s a very straightforward person and that?s what I like about him. He?ll tell you what you need to hear and not necessarily what you want to hear all the time. But he?s definitely going to get you better day in and day out.?

?Coach Diaco, he brings a ton of energy,? Deeb said. ?That?s what I look for in a coach. I camped Tuesday morning and was able to get on the field with him. I learned a ton from him just in those few hours.?

Deeb joins outside linebacker prospects Jaylon Smith and Danny Mattingly as three committed linebacker prospects for Diaco?s 3-4 defensive scheme. Deeb said the coaching staff hopes he can play the middle linebacker position that Manti Te?o currently fills.

?He?s a great player and he brings a lot of intensity and a lot of leadership,? Deeb said of Te?o. ?Just being able to watch the film on him and see him, I think I can learn a ton from him before I step on campus and I can physically and mentally prepare myself to the best of my ability.?

Playing middle linebacker at American Heritage, Deeb totaled 90 tackles, three interceptions and three sacks last season as a junior. Rivals.com ranks Deeb as the No. 26 inside linebacker in the 2013 class. 247Sports.com ranks him as the No. 48 inside linebacker. Deeb?s other scholarship offers include Florida State, Penn State, Cincinnati, Vanderbilt and West Virginia among others.

Deeb?s commitment brings the Irish coaching staff another step closer to their goal for the linebacker position this recruiting cycle. 247Sports national recruiting writer Steve Wiltfong said Notre Dame would like to take two inside linebackers this year.

?They?ve got Michael Deeb in the fold and they?d love to add Alex Anzalone and then complement those two with Jaylon Smith and Danny Mattingly,? Wiltfong said. ?With that, Notre Dame would hit a home run at the linebacker position.?

High school teammate Sony Michel, a 2014 running back, also joined Deeb on his visit to Notre Dame. Wiltfong said commitments from recruits that just visited campus show how big of an impression the coaching staff can make on a player when they reach South Bend.

?As always when you?re talking about Notre Dame and kids coming up to visit, you know right away where you stand with them when they leave, because normally Notre Dame is a lot different of a school than the other places that they?re considering,? Wiltfong said.

Deeb said once he made the decision that he could handle going to college away from his family that Notre Dame really stood out.

?Notre Dame has something that some Florida schools can?t add up to when it comes to being well-rounded in all areas and providing a great tradition for 125 years now,? Deeb said, ?and on top of that you know that the academics are ridiculously amazing.?

First study to show early brain changes predict which patients develop chronic pain

CHICAGO --- When people have similar injuries, why do some end up with chronic pain while others recover and are pain free? The first longitudinal brain imaging study to track participants with a new back injury has found the chronic pain is all in their heads - quite literally.

A new Northwestern Medicine study shows for the first time that chronic pain develops the more two sections of the brain --- related to emotional and motivational behavior --- talk to each other. The more they communicate, the greater the chance a patient will develop chronic pain.

The finding provides a new direction for developing therapies to treat intractable pain, which affects 30 to 40 million adults in the United States.

Researchers were able to predict, with 85 percent accuracy at the beginning of the study, which participants would go on to develop chronic pain based on the level of interaction between the frontal cortex and the nucleus accumbens.

The study is published in the journal Nature Neuroscience.

"For the first time we can explain why people who may have the exact same initial pain either go on to recover or develop chronic pain," said A. Vania Apakarian, senior author of the paper and professor of physiology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.

"The injury by itself is not enough to explain the ongoing pain. It has to do with the injury combined with the state of the brain. This finding is the culmination of 10 years of our research."

The more emotionally the brain reacts to the initial injury, the more likely the pain will persist after the injury has healed. "It may be that these sections of the brain are more excited to begin with in certain individuals, or there may be genetic and environmental influences that predispose these brain regions to interact at an excitable level," Apkarian said.

The nucleus accumbens is an important center for teaching the rest of the brain how to evaluate and react to the outside world, Apkarian noted, and this brain region may use the pain signal to teach the rest of the brain to develop chronic pain.

"Now we hope to develop new therapies for treatment based on this finding," Apkarian added.

Chronic pain participants in the study also lost gray matter density, which is likely linked to fewer synaptic connections or neuronal and glial shrinkage, Apkarian said. Brain synapses are essential for communication between neurons.

"Chronic pain is one of the most expensive health care conditions in the U. S. yet there still is not a scientifically validated therapy for this condition," Apkarian said. Chronic pain costs an estimated $600 billion a year, according to a 2011 National Academy of Sciences report. Back pain is the most prevalent chronic pain condition.

A total of 40 participants who had an episode of back pain that lasted four to 16 weeks --- but with no prior history of back pain --- were studied. All subjects were diagnosed with back pain by a clinician. Brain scans were conducted on each participant at study entry and for three more visits during one year.

###

Other Northwestern authors on the paper include lead author Marwan N. Baliki, Bogdan Petre, Souraya Torbey, Kristina M. Herrmann, Lejian Huang and Thomas J. Schnitzer.

The study was funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke of the National Institutes of Health grant NS35115.
