Four explosions at Spanish power station

July 12, 2005 Four explosions have rocked a brand new, soon to be online power station in Spain's Basque reigon in the city of Amorebieta.

Shortly before the blasts, warning calls were made to Basque newspaper Gara and the Basque emergency road service known as DYA, police rushed to the scene and evacuated workers. The calls were made by the Basque separatist group ETA.

There are no confirmations of injuries or structual damage from the blasts at the moment. Spanish radio however reports that there were no injuries and some minor structual damage. Witnesses to the explosions say they were small.

Warning calls before blasts are common by ETA, usually Gara will get the call.

The plant is run by ESB International.

Abreu smashes records, wins Home Run Derby

July 12, 2005 Bobby Abreu, welcome to the spotlight.

The Philadelphia Phillies star, now 31 and a two-time All-Star, has produced well for the Phillies over the last half a decade without the glamour of other top players. However, last night there was no denying that he was the star of the show.

And what a show it was. The first batter in the 2005 Home Run Derby, Abreu proceeded to shatter the previous record of 15 home runs in a round, belting 24, including a 517-foot moonshot that exited the stadium in right field, going through two bats in the process. This rampage came immediately after ESPN announcers Chris Berman and Joe Morgan described Comerica Park, the site of the Derby, as a difficult park to hit home runs in.

In the second round, Abreu edged past Boston's David Ortiz (who himself hit an astounding 17 homeruns in the first round) and Milwaukee's Carlos Lee to earn a spot in the finals alongside Detroit star Ivan Rodriguez. Rodriguez, who snuck into the second round with 7 dingers, swatted the most in the second round, but his home-field advantage deserted him in the finals as Abreu smashed 11 over the fences to win the Derby for his native Venezuela.

Abreu's three-round total of 41 homers broke Miguel Tejada's record of 27, set last year in Houston's Minute Maid Park.

Intel's offices across the EU raided

July 12, 2005

Local Law enforcement officials acting on behalf of the European Commission raided offices of Intel and several computer makers this morning, a spokesman for the EU said. He did not specify which countries or which other firms were involved. However, a spokesman for Intel Germany, Hans-Jürgen Werner, said that Intel's offices in Munich and Swindon were among those searched.

It emerged on Wednesday 13th, that raids also took place at Intel's facility in County Kildare, Ireland in relation to the firms anti-competitive business practices. Intel employs over 5,000 people at its Irish manufacturing facility.

The raids are most likely connected to an ongoing anti-trust investigation against Intel by the EU. It is alleged that the company used its market dominance to bully its clients into buying its chips instead of AMD ones. Intel is denying the allegations.

Suicide attack hits mall in Netanya, Israel

July 12, 2005

Four people were killed today at a suicide bombing near a shopping center in Netanya. One of the dead was the suicide bomber. 90 others were injured, five of them seriously. Islamic Jihad has claimed responsibility for the attack in a phone call to Reuters' Tulkarem office and identified the bomber as Ahmad Abu-Halil of Tulkarem.

At about 6:35 p.m. local time (UTC +3), Abu-Halil detonated himself on a crosswalk, after approaching a group of four young women, French tourists according to some of the reports, who were crossing the road. Nearby automobiles were also damaged by the explosion, and some of the shopping center's windows were shattered. Local police said that the bomber carried around 10 kg of explosives, as well as nails and metal pellets, on an explosive belt that was strapped to his body. Netanya's mayor, Miriam Fierberg, was present on the scene of the attack and immediately began assisting the injured.

It was later published that the casualties are two 16-year-old girls from Tel-Aviv, who were killed on the scene attack. The two other victims died in the hospital - a 31-year-old woman from Netanya and a 50-year-old woman from Netanya, whose daughter and granddaughter were seriously injured in the attack.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) condemned the attack. PA official Jibril Rajoub called it "hurtful to our cause" and chief negotiator Saeb Erakat said that "those who carried out this attack want to sabotage the efforts being exerted to have a smooth and peaceful disengagement from Gaza and a revival of the peace process".

The Israeli government on the other hand alleges that the PA is not doing enough to stop terrorism. "Israel has done all it could to ease up Palestinian needs but the PA has not fulfilled obligations undertaken at Sharem al Sheikh and shows no signs of doing so" said David Baker, an official in the office of Prime minister Ariel Sharon.

In light of the bombing, Israeli defence minister, Shaul Mofaz, cancelled a meeting with the Palestinian minister for civil affairs, Mohammed Dahlan, set for this evening to coordinate various issues regarding Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

This was the third attack in Israel in one day. Earlier this morning two Israeli soldiers were injured when a bomb was detonated near the automobile they were driving near Netzer Hazeni in the Gaza Strip. Minutes before the attack in Netanya there was another attack attempt when a suicide bomber drove a stolen truck loaded with explosives into a civilian settlement of Shavey Shomron in Samaria, but he detonated the vehicle without harm to anyone but himself. The bomber was injured and is being treated at a local hospital.

Cuba declines American help for damage caused by Hurricane Dennis

July 12, 2005

As Hurricane Dennis rolls through the Caribbean the death toll in Cuba has continued to rise. According to Cuba's communist president, Fidel Castro, the death toll of the hurricane has gone from 10 deaths yesterday to 16 deaths today. He explained the situation with a several hours long speech which commenced Monday evening and continued on until Tuesday morning. In the speech Castro estimates in total $1.4 billion US in property damage. He also stated the hurricane damaged 120,000 homes, 15,000 of which were destroyed and stated that the citrus crops were wrecked by the 240km/h winds of the hurricane.

Castro has rejected a $50,000 offer of aid from the United States. Castro explains that he won't be willing to accept the any aid until the U.S. lifts the trade embargo on his country. Castro claims the embargo is "genocidal" against his people. Some other nations have similar trade embargoes with Cuba; Castro has also said that aid will only be accepted from nations that do not have such arrangements.

Police make significant progress in London bombings investigation

July 12, 2005

Dramatic developments today have revealed new information about last Thursday's bomb attacks on London. One person has been arrested after a series of raids in Leeds.

The four men alleged to be responsible for the bombings travelled by train from Leeds to King's Cross on Thursday morning, where they were seen on CCTV at 8.30am. Three of them, likely British citizens of Pakistani origin, came from Leeds while another joined them en route. One of the three from Yorkshire was reported missing by his family at 10pm that evening.

Three of them then boarded underground trains. The fourth alleged bomber - the man reported missing from Leeds - died onboard the bus, but there are no clear reasons for why he did not follow the same pattern as the others. It has been confirmed that at least three of the four bombers died in the blasts. Forensic evidence and items belonging to all of the men were found in the debris of the target vehicles.

Police also found a car at Luton train station, which is on the route from Leeds to King's Cross. A series of controlled explosions was carried out on the car. It is understood that one of the bombers drove equipment in the car to Luton, while the others travelled by train.

Materials used to make explosives were also found at one of the houses in Leeds.

A second car was found on the property of a recovery company in Leighton Buzzard; it had been 'routinely recovered' from Luton train station on the evening of Tuesday, July 12. Bedfordshire Police, working in conjunction with the Metropolitan Police and the British Transport Police, sealed off the area within a 50 metre radius of the vehicle. The area was re-opened at 9.30pm BST, although a police presence remained until the next day. It has not yet been revealed why the car was towed away or what was contained inside it.

UK Defence Minister alludes to possible Iraq troop reduction

July 12, 2005 The UK Secretary of State for Defence John Reid has admitted the withdrawal of 5,500 of the 8,500 British troops in Iraq by spring 2006 is a possibility. It comes after a report was leaked to the Mail on Sunday in the aftermath of the 7 July London bombings.

The document (Options for Future UK Force Posture in Iraq) was marked "Secret - UK eyes only" and also contained information on possible U.S. troop reductions, bringing the number of Coalition forces in Iraq down to 66,000. About 176,000 Coalition troops are presently in Iraq, 130,000 of which are from the United States Armed Forces. However, the document also reveals there is division between the Pentagon, which apparently favours a "relatively bold reduction", and U.S. commanders in Iraq who are more cautious.

The British Army is the lead component of the Multi-National Division (South-East). It has maintained forces in the 8,000+ region since the end of the 2003 Iraq War. In the document, Mr Reid admitted that a large reduction of British and U.S. forces would make it difficult for other countries to keep their force in Iraq.

Mr Reid, who took up the position of Secretary of State for Defence on 6 May 2005, admitted that the document was made by him for Prime Minister Tony Blair. In the document, Mr Reid stated that a decision would need to be made later this year on British forces levels in Iraq. The possible transfer of control of Al Muthanna and Maysan provinces, followed by Al Basrah and Dhi Qar provinces in 2006, were also included in the document. It estimated the reduction of British forces could save about £1 billion pounds (about $1.7 billion U.S. dollars).

In a statement on 10 July made in response to the leaking of the document, Mr Reid denied that the document signalled any change in policy, stating that, "No decisions on the future force posture of UK forces have been taken. But we have always said that it is our intention to hand over the lead in fighting terrorists to Iraqi security forces as their capability increases. We therefore continually produce papers outlining possible options and contingencies."

On 4 July, during a debate in the House of Commons, Mr Reid had hinted at possible reductions in forces, saying that, "By and large, about 12 [of 18] of the provinces are relatively free of terrorist attacks. As the Iraqi forces become trained to take the lead, it is possible, over a period of time, to hand the lead role to Iraqi forces in certain areas of the country and gradually, we hope, over the whole country."

A spokesperson of the MND (SE) was questioned by a Wikireporter. When asked whether speculation of reductions would affect British forces morale in Iraq, it was insisted that, "The British forces will continue to operate in the professional manner to which they always have done." The spokesperson added, "No decision on the future posture of UK forces in Iraq has been taken. There has been no change in policy. Assisting the Iraqis to improve the security environment remains our top priority."

Speaking of the response by Iraqis to the London bombings, the spokesperson said, "Most of the feed back from Friday pray[ers] in the British Area of Operation were against the attacks on London."

Ft. Wayne, Indiana burn center treats Afghan child

July 12, 2005

Doctors at the regional burn center at St. Joseph Hospital in, Indiana are treating a patient flown in from war-torn Afghanistan.

U.S. Army's 113th Battalion, which is made up of, discovered five-year-old Zia after a propane explosion in suburban Kabul] earlier this year destroyed homes and killed six of the boy's family members.

The blast left Zia with on his arms, torso and legs. Guardsmen, familiar with the Fort Wayne burn center, worked with non-profit group, Northeast Indiana Burn Council to raised $18,500 to fly Zia, accompanied by his father Abdul Qahir, to Fort Wayne for treatment.

Upon arrival, he was rushed to the St. Joseph burn unit, where after a few days of recovery from travel, underwent his first surgery June 23. The second and final surgery was postponed nine days from an original date of July 2 because the boy developed an infection in one of his wounds, which is common for burn patients.

The second surgery grafted skin onto burn wounds on Zia's arm, chest and the second toe on his right foot. Tuesday, doctors said Zia was recovering and appeared to be in good spirits. In preparation for their planned return trip to Afghanistan in September, doctors are teaching Zia's father physical therapy techniques needed for further recovery. "Without good therapy, he could be right back where we started," Dr. John Mancoll, the lead surgeon on the case, said in an interview with the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette newspaper.

Terrorism
I've removed most of the references to the "terrorists" in this article. While a great many people consider such acts to be terrorism, not everybody does, and so a term like "bomber" is more accurate and NPOV.

Talk:Palestinian radio station broadcasts praise for London terror attacks

Surely that report can't be true?! All week we have been hearing about how no real Moslem ever condones violence. Of course, we are expected to believe that.

Maybe, we should judge them by their actions, not their words.

 * That's just not fair at all. EVERY faith or cause has extremists. Do you think all Christians think it's fine to kill doctors working at abortion clinics in cold blood, that all conservatives think it's fine to kill gays for being gay, or that all environmentalists support bombing industrial facilities and killing workers? Just because a faith is less familiar to you doesn't mean it's fair to generalise.
 * The "no real Moslem" thing is another can of worms, but I tend to think that anyone who advocates the slaughter of innocents in the name of religion can't possibly claim to understand that which they blindly worship.
 * -SVI

 * Main stream Christians create a political enviroment where "being Chrisitan" is seen as equivelent to "being moral," which causes murders to be subtly encuraged at the highest levels of society. So main stream Christians are responcible for ideologically supporting the abortion clinic bombing, EVEN IF they personally oppose the bombings!  Which is obviously not as responcible as the bombers themsevels.  Duh!  Sure, many enviromentalists are also responcible for ideologically supporting the bombing of industrial facilities too, but they also deserve credit for molding that ideological support into a form which prevents loose of life.  BTW, Modern religions ARE built upon the slaughter of innocents as those were the religions which defeated the more peaceful religions.   Directly advocating murder for religious reasons means you understand your religion better, and have not been corrupted by modern humanist ideas. -- Nyarlathotep 15:05, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

TD Financial to acquire Hudson United Bancorp

July 12, 2005

Canadian TD Financial Group has come to a deal with the regional U.S. bank, Hudson United Bancorp, to buy Hudson for US$1.9 billion. The new addition will be folding into itsMaine-based TD Banknorth, which is 51% owned by TD Financial. The acquisition will bring in 204 new branches and increase TD's footprint to New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. In total this will give TD 590 branches, 751 banking machines and more than US$26-billion in deposits across eight northeastern states.

Hudson specialises in commercial real estate, consumer and credit card loans to individuals and businesses. The bank also had $8.85 billion US in assets at the end of it's first quarter, on March 31. The company's shares had been dropping in the course of the past year because of allegations of money-laundering violations and after an earnings warning, making it a good steal for TD. The acquisition will greatly increased TD's influence in America.

This continues the recent trend for Canadian banks expanding into the U.S. where regulation on bank mergers is less strict than in their home country.

"This transaction delivers on our shared vision for growth and marks a significant milestone in TD Banknorth's expansion strategy," TD Bank CEO and president Ed Clark said in a statement.

Talk:Police make significant progress in London bombings investigation

Should we really be reporting this as fact?

The four men responsible for the bombings travelled by train....

Three of them then boarded underground trains. At least one of them is known to have detonated the explosives he was carrying himself, dying alongside his victims outside Aldgate.

Isn't it too soon for a conviction?....is there enough evidence to convict? who is it that is doing the convicting..the police?

I hope it's all true and solved; but I am just surprised we are reporting a conviction without a trial or more lengthy investigation. Paulrevere2005 03:00, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Australian telecomms firm Telstra offers rebates to those affected by bombings

July 13, 2005

Australian telecommunications giant Telstra has announced that it will be offering a rebate to those customers who placed calls to the United Kingdom to check on relatives in the wake of the recent bombings. Of the approximately 700 people wounded in the attacks, only 7 were Australians, however there are many more Aussies spread throughout England and Europe at any time.

To be eligible for the rebate, the calls must have been made between 6pm AEST Thursday the 7th through to 6am Saturday the 8th, according to Telstra chief Sol Trujillo. As well as this, Telstra customers who have a relative who has been hospitalized as a result of the event will be eligible for a rebate for a period of one month from July 7.

Applying for the rebate involves Telstra customers calling a special number which will appear on their next bill. Telstra has been working with the Australian Federal Government to provide further assistance to customers.

Investigators of 2005 London bombings "find timing device"
We don't do rumours, and the rumour is untrue to boot. Dan100 (Talk) 8 July 2005 07:54 (UTC)
 * If it's a rumour, it's one with three sources, a named person stating that a discovery has been made, and quotes. Uncle G 8 July 2005 10:34 (UTC)
 * Make that five sources. Uncle G 8 July 2005 18:29 (UTC)
 * Make that seven sources. Uncle G 8 July 2005 18:29 (UTC)
 * Comment. It's impact that is newsworthy - not the rumor itself. Unsubstantiated conjecture statements (rumors) are newsworthy if they affect newsworthy action or incident. For instance stock prices plummeting on rumors of a corporate takeover are newsworthy. Likewise, police raiding a house on rumored drug trafficking is newsworthy. -- Davodd | Talk 8 July 2005 12:38 (UTC)
 * That is predicated upon the supposition that this is a rumour. As things stand, we only have Dan100's assertion for that.  Whereas on the other hand we have the NYT, ABC News, CNN, and The Guardian all stating as fact that timing devices have been found.  (The Guardian even cites its source by name.) Uncle G 8 July 2005 18:29 (UTC)
 * I disagree. My initial reaction to the article was the same, I suggested it should be deleted. But there is some support for it as the sources would indicate. Since the focus of the article has changed to the finding of the timing devices, perhaps a better solution would be to rewrite the article and bring up the "unexploded bomb" rumour as a post-script. --Wolfrider 8 July 2005 12:43 (UTC)
 * Comment: Uncle G has substantially re-written the article away from two UXBs being found to timer fragments being found, which is a bit odd. I'd have started a new article.
 * Doing that would have been a bit odd, given that this is the same story as it was right from the start. The reporting of the finding of the timing devices has been in the article right from the start.  Uncle G 9 July 2005 14:18 (UTC)
 * When I listed the article for deletion, it was discussing two rumoured UXBs. I don't know what ABC et al were hearing or who from, but at the London press conference yesterday the police were categorical that no unexploded bombs had been discovered. The confusion arose over a controlled explosion on two packages which turned out to be harmless. Dan100 (Talk) 9 July 2005 11:01 (UTC)
 * No, it wasn't. When you listed the article for deletion, it discussed the discovery of the timing devices in the third paragraph. Uncle G 9 July 2005 14:18 (UTC)
 * It's interesting to de-construct this, but the bottom line is that the article is very, very wrong, and still needs to be deleted.
 * The police have stated that "there is no evidence to suggest that the attacks were the result of suicide bombings although this cannot be ruled out", and they've been saying that since quite early on.
 * Now, pretty obviously, if the bombs weren't set off manually they were on a timer - radio signals cannot penetrate the deep line tunnels.
 * The rumour about a timer being found seems to stem from something on CNN television. The other sources Uncle G has listed which mention timer fragments refer back to this (there aren't "five sources", as Uncle G states, just different news services repeating the same thing.) Interestingly, cnn.com is running an AP article which quotes an "unnamed US official", whom the London police decline to comment about. I'll discuss this with the Guardian quote in a moment.
 * The NYT correctly stated the implication that if not detonated manually, timers were used - rather than stating that parts of timers had been found.
 * Now, the Guardian quote, in particular, is a bit weird. Why would a former head of intelligence in the US know more about the investigation, than the British investigators themselves? (Same things goes for the "unnamed US official" in AP.) He also quotes that two UXBs had been found - now known to be false (as correctly reported by ABC), which throws everything he said into doubt. (The Guardian is well known for poor fact checking; I suspect this will become yet another example.)
 * Changing tack slightly, the ABC story states that "unammed officials" had found the body of one of the bombers - well pretty obviously, that's not going to happen. Today the papers are talking about "struggling to find enough DNA of the bus bomber".
 * (As an aside, yesterday people were talking about a man rummaging in bag repeatedly - except he was standing on the lower deck, and the bomb detonated at the rear of the upper deck.)
 * Now, just because another news service is reporting something, doesn't make it news-worthy, and doesn't mean we should just repeat it like automatons. The whole point of Wikinews was to allow us - anyone - to do a better job than the mainstream media. Part of that being better means better fact checking, and not running speculation with very shaky evidence.
 * We should be aiming to tell the news of what has happened - whatever it is - with the highest possible standards of truth and accuracy. Dan100 (Talk) 9 July 2005 11:57 (UTC)
 * Davodd mentions Unsubstantiated conjecture statements (rumors) are newsworthy if they affect newsworthy action or incident. Maybe so, if they do indeed have such an effect - then we can report that effect, which is newsorthy, mentioning the rumour as the cause of the effect. However in this particular case the rumour doesn't seem to have had any effect at all. Dan100 (Talk) 9 July 2005 12:11 (UTC)
 * The deletion discussion so far has missed one critical issue. Just because an official agency withdraws or changes a story does not mean that a story with multiple independent sources should be deleted. The story may need to be changed to read 'story of unexploded bombs in dispute' but it should not just be pulled because one government agency doesnt want it there. It seems obvious to me that Scotland Yard has a very strong motive for pulling the story even if it were true. They are in the midst of an investigation and may not want to tip off the terrorists as to their lines of inquiry. If this was the case, the discussion here should more honestly be one of censorship and not newsworthiness. While Wikinews should try to present accurate stories, I think one of the whole points of Wikinews is to have access to stories that may have been censored or filtered out by the main stream media. This needs to be balanced against collective human security. However, in this case, I think people have a right to know in general how the investigation is going. I can understand specific locations or names being protected, but if a story has already been in circulation for a few days, any remaining terrorists have undoubtedly heard it already, and there seems to be no need to subject ourselves to censorship from one perhaps overcautious government agency without adequate and honest discussion. It also seems to me that much of this discussion seems to be driven by one or 2 users and that there needs to be more consensus than that before a story is pulled Johan 9 July 2005 18:29 UTC.

Train crash in southern Pakistan kills more than a hundred

July 13, 2005 At least 127 died early this morning when three trains crashed in a chain reaction in a station near in the Sindh Province of Pakistan. It is feared the fatality count may rise as high as 200-300 people. Around 800 others were injured, many of them seriously. Officials for Pakistan Railways told AP that the accident happened at about 4am local time (2300 Tuesday) when an express train from Lahore bound for Karachi crashed into another train which had broke down earlier and was sitting at the station. Almost immediately after, a third train slammed into carriages derailed from the first crash. In total some 13 cars derailed. The incident is blamed on the driver of the Karachi train who reportedly misread a signal.

The line between Lahore and Karachi, the nation's biggest cities, is among the busiest in the country.

It is Pakistan's worst train accident since December 1989 when a crash near, about 35 (56 ) from today's crash site, killed over 400 people.

Israeli army reoccupies Tulkarem in West Bank

July 13, 2005

Reacting to the suicide bombing yesterday in a Netanya mall, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) entered the city of Tulkarem. The city has been governed by the Palestinian Authority (PA), since March 22nd this year.

In addition, a general closure was ordered on the occupied territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The closure will hold until the assessment of the situation changes, according to the IDF.

The IDF ordered a curfew on Tulkarem at the beginning of the operation, at 2:30 a.m. (+3 UTC), Palestinians reported. Soldiers announced in loudspeakers that the city was under curfew and that all local residents were to remain inside their homes.

One Palestinian policeman was killed and one was injured, as well as two Israeli soldiers, when the Israeli forces came under fire while entering the city, according to the IDF spokesperson.

The IDF arrested five wanted Islamic Jihad members in the city. According to IDF officers, the operation is aimed at the Islamic Jihad organization, which staged the suicide attack in Netanya yesterday, as well as another suicide bombing attempt in a Jewish settlement in Samaria.

The Israeli government asked the PA to arrest the wanted terrorists numerous times, according to high-ranking officers in the IDF.

"The main objective is to locate Islamic Jihad members that operate under the shelter of the PA military responsibility", said Colonel Erez Weiner of the IDF. "We arrested five wanted members, some of whom were involved in the bombing of the Stage nightclub in Tel-Aviv. The forces are also trying to locate the explosives lab that is behind yesterday's car-bomb in Shavey Shomron. Apart from a few minor incidents we did not meet any opposition from the Palestinian side", Colonel Weiner said.

The suicide bombings in Netanya and Shavey Shomron and the reoccupation of Tulkarem follow five months of relative calm in the Israel-PA relations.

Shuttle launch on schedule despite launch pad accident

July 13, 2005

The 'Return to Flight' mission for the Space Shuttle Discovery is to go ahead later today despite an accident on the launch pad yesterday.

At about 5pm EDT Tuesday one of Discovery's cockpit window covers became detached and fell sixty feet. The falling cover struck the left Orbital Maneuvering System pod (situated to one side of the tail fin), damaging several thermal protection tiles. The tiles provide vital protection to the Orbiter as it makes its fiery re-entry to Earth's atmosphere.

A replacement panel was fitted in less than an hour, with the only effect being a delay in rolling back the pad's Rotating Service Structure. This has been the only issue in the build up to today's launch, the first Shuttle flight since the Columbia Orbiter broke up during re-entry in February 2003. All crew were lost in that incident, which has been blamed on damage to a wing thermal protection system panel, caused by a block of fuel tank insulation that became detached and hit the Orbiter during the first moments of flight.

Discovery is due to take off at 3.51pm EDT today. The chance of a weather-related delay to the launch has increased to 40% - due to the possibility of thunderstorms in the area.

Talk:Israeli army reoccupies Tulkarem in West Bank

Now I personally think the Islamic Jihad is a terrorist organization (like all organizations that use suicide bombers and car bombs) and as such, all its members are terrorists. However, at wikinews we are obligated to the NPOV, so we must write in a neutral manner. Moreover, changing words in a quotation is something that just shouldn't be done - if a Colonel in the IDF said "members", we must write "members"! --Shambler 10:13, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Oxygenoxy. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Oxygenoxy~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:20, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Nurse glues boyfriend's eyes shut

A nurse from Sunderland in the United Kingdom superglued her (now former) boyfriend's eyes shut when he would not stop paying attention to swimsuit clad women while the two were on holiday in Malta.

After an argument, the boyfriend, Disc Jockey Lee Scullion (31), went for an afternoon nap in their hotel room. When he woke up, he discovered that he could not open his eyes and that his watch was glued to his wrist. Glue was also smothered over his lips and nose as well as on his eyelids. In addition, his girlfriend Laura Dunn (26) is reported to have smashed Lee's £650 ($1,128.47 US) digital camera, while he is said to have burned her passport.

Laura Dunn, who is currently working in a care home, said "he wouldn't give me the attention I deserved" and that she "decided to teach him a lesson to remind him not to look at other women." She also said she hoped her career would not be affected by the fight.

Suicide bomber kills 24 children in Iraq

July 13, 2005

A suicide bomber has killed as many as 24 children in Iraq.

According to an Iraqi eyewitness, US troops were handing out sweets to children gathered around their Humvee military vechicle in eastern Baghdad when a bomber drove a car carrying explosives up to the group and detonated his weapon. One US soldier was killed and three more injured.

The local hospital's morgue has received 24 dead children, mostly aged between 10 and 13.

Army spokesman Major Russ Goemaere said "The car bomber made a deliberate decision to attack one of our vehicles as the soldiers were engaged in a peaceful operation with Iraqi citizens."

A Reuters camera man saw the car explode between houses, reducing three to rubble. The area is very poor and the residents are a mixed community of Sunnis, Shia and Christians.

Women were wailing in the street alongside a crumpled child's bicycle and pools of blood after the attack.

Hundreds of distraught parents gathered at the local hospital desperately searching for their children.

One father who lost a son said "Why do they attack our children? They just destroyed one US Humvee, but they killed dozens of our children."

A joint US-Iraq offensive launched in Baghdad in May has considerably reduced the number of suicide bombings, but authorities admit such attacks are hard to eliminate.

A similar car bomb attack in September last year killed at least 34 children in Baghdad. That attack also saw the victims gathering round US troops who were handing out sweets, to mark the opening of a water treatment plant.

Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari said on Tuesday that declining levels of violence in his country were allowing Iraqi security forces to begin taking over duties from US troops in many cities, in a move that may pave the way for withdrawal of Western forces.

Children massacred in Kenyan school

July 13, 2005

During a raid by cattle rustlers in northern Kenya, as many as 55 Kenyans were killed, twenty of them children.

Up to 400 members of the Borana tribe living across the border in Ethiopia attacked the nomadic Gabra people aiming to steal their livestock. The societies are not monetarized - cattle is the main form of wealth.

The two groups have been fighting over water and pastures for years in the semi-arid land. Cross-border raids for livestock are very common in the area, but it is said that this is one of the most deadly and severe attacks in Kenya's history. The attack may be in retaliation for an earlier raid on the Borana, in which six people were killed.

Whole families were killed in this most recent attack. Okille Hukha survived when he ran into a bush, but his wife and four children were murdered. Darare Bathachas' son, wife and grandson were also killed, but she survived by going under a bed.

A woman watched as her four children were killed, and her husband beheaded. A grandmother spoke of how she hid under a table while her forty year old son, his wife and their nursery school age son were killed.

Ten Borana were later killed in a revenge attack.

Kenyan police are pursuing the attackers, moving on foot in the rugged terrain but supported by three helicopters. Thousands of sheep and goats as well as cattle, camels and donkeys have been recovered.

The Kenyan Red Cross Society have sent a helicopter carrying medics and supplies to aid the injured in the local hospital.

Should Expedia's currency converter be considered a "source"? It seems confusing with it in there. --Farnkerl 13:30, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

I was wondering if I should put it in but I thought I should because I didn't make the calculation myself.
 * it seems like an "additional item used in the production of the article" not a source. would you cite a style guide when you write a newspaper article?Veritos 13:43, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
