Al-Qaida bombers murder more in Turkey

AT LEAST 25 people were killed and about 400 injured when two suicide bombings targeted British interests in Turkey yesterday.

So sorry for all who are involved and the families who have been impacted by this event. It wasn't that long ago, just over a year, when all of Asutralia were rocked by the Bali Bombing. May God have mercy on us all.

Czech Republic commemorates anniversary of Velvet Revolution

Radio Prague - News

The Czech Republic has commemorated the fourteenth anniversary of the Velvet Revolution, the peaceful movement that brought down the communist regime in 1989. Special ceremonies took place across the country on Monday to mark the anniversary. Top officials, including President Vaclav Klaus, laid flowers and lit candles on Narodni Street in Prague where the communist police brutally cracked down on a peaceful student demonstration on November 17th, 1989. The event triggered a series of demonstrations and strikes which eventually brought an end to four decades of communist rule in Czechoslovakia.
