<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12px;"><img src="http://cdn.bellanaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/aa.jpg" style="background-color: transparent;" /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>on December 25th, 2009, <strong>Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, </strong>a Nigerian tried to detonate an explosive aboard a Northwest Flight 253 over Detroit in the United States of America. As the son of one of Nigeria’s most prominent businessmen and someone who had access to international travel and a world-class education, his terrorist act took Nigeria by surprise.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Umar has since been sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. However, the FBI has recently revealed the reason why the explosives failed to go off.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>During his trial he said the bomb in his underwear was a ‘blessed weapon’ to avenge poorly treated Muslims around the world.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Two FBI agents told <a href="http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/local_news/investigations/fbi-agents-underwear-bomber-abdulmutallab-wore-underwear-for-3-weeks" style="color: black; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">WXYZ TV</a> that Umar confessed to the plot, saying that he had worn the explosive underwear for three weeks in order to get used to it and make sure he could get it through security.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>“So basically for three weeks he wore this garment, these underwear with this device in it. We think ultimately that is probably what caused the disruption in the sequence of events in the explosion,” said FBI agent Ted Peissig.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>The agents also revealed that Umar was not recruited by al Qaeda, but the other way around.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>“He sought out al Qaeda relentlessly,” another FBI agent on the case, Mike Connelly said. “He persisted and he was almost turned away at times, you know, by al Qaeda. But he refused to relent.”</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>FBI agents also say the Underwear Bomber might have inadvertently foiled his own plot because of his obsession about making sure the bomb would not be detected. They further revealed that he had been instructed to detonate the bomb over a populated area to maximize the death toll.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Here is the account of the FBI agents as reported by <a href="http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/local_news/investigations/fbi-agents-underwear-bomber-abdulmutallab-wore-underwear-for-3-weeks" style="color: black; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">WXYZ TV</a></i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>In Abdulmutallab’s mind it was an act of martyrdom and jihad. He had no feelings for the men, women and children around him who were about die, according to the FBI agents.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>“He did not bat an eye in saying if that plane was going to go down, it was going to go down. That was God’s call. That wasn’t his call. His responsibility was just to detonate the bomb, and whatever happened, happened,” says agent Connelly.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>As the huge jumbo jet carrying over 300 people was approaching Detroit, Abulmutallab disappeared into the restroom to wash himself, a ritual for his passage into the next life. When he returned to his seat he told the guy sitting next to him that he wasn’t feeling well.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>“And pulled a blanket almost completely concealing himself up to the chin,” says Agent Peissig.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Using a plastic syringe, Abdulmutallab injected a mixture of liquids and solids into the explosive chemicals already packed into his underwear.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>But Instead of exploding, the bomb burst into flames, setting his clothes and the blanket on fire, seriously burning him.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>The two agents who visited Nigeria during the course of his investigation said they extracted detailed and chilling information about Abdulmutallab and his mission, getting a rare glimpse into the mind of a suicide bomber.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>“In his tone, his conversation, he’s very reserved,” adds agent Connelly. “He’s deliberate in his speech.”</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>“The witnesses remarked about how he just looked like a simple young school boy,” says Peissig.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>But appearances don’t match reality in the case of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. Agents say he was an extreme fanatic and a very dangerous man.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>He was hell-bent on taking down a jumbo jet over Detroit with no consideration for the hundreds who would die in the plane and on the ground.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; padding-left: 30px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>“He is completely different from any terrorist that I’ve had the ability to talk to,” explains Connelly. “Different because of his absolute devotion to Jihad. The degree of conviction that he had to the cause is unparalleled.”</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>We are glad his attempt to kill innocent people was foiled.</i></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The <strong>Economic and Financial Crimes Commission</strong> (EFCC) has arrested a 24 year-old Nigerian,<strong>Abubakar Tijani Sheriff</strong> for attempting to travel with the sum of $7 million (N1, 120,000billion).</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>He was arrested at the <strong>Murtala Muhammed International airport</strong>, Lagos as he was trying to travel to Dubai aboard a United Arab Emirates flight on Thursday.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>After his arrest, he said that he had a total sum of $4.5million. But when he was thouroughly searched, he was found to have $7,049,444 on him.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>He later confessed that he was a courier for 20 individuals who hired him to take the money for them to Dubai. Authorities said that the money was proceeds from illegal deals and he is a suspected money laundering courier. He has already mentioned 20 prominent Nigerians who are the owners of the money.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The EFCC in a statement released by its spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren to <a href="http://saharareporters.com/news-page/efcc-nabs-currency-courier-lagos-trying-export-7m-cash" style="color: black; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Sahara Reporters</a> yesterday said that “Investigations by the EFCC showed that Sheriff is a regular traveller and one of several couriers of illegal cash suspected to be proceeds of crime.”</i></span><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Travellers leaving the country are statutorily required to declare cash in excess of $10,000. However, under the provisions of the Money Laundering Act, it is not sufficient to declare excess cash; the onus is on the person making the declaration to explain the source of the excess cash and the reason for the export.”</span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>He is now being detained at the EFCC’s holding facility in Lagos pending his arraignment in court.</i></span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Adeola Thomas</strong>, 38, and his partner, <strong>Abimbola Abiola</strong>, 34, managed to pocket £87,000 after using 1,400 stolen identities to complete 2,495 handwritten tax and benefits claims forms.</span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And just like the other couple that was reported to have lavishly spent the money on a house in Nigeria, the pair spent the money on designer clothing and electrical items including a 50-inch plasma television.</span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The fraud was discovered when benefits staff at HM Revenue & Customs noticed they had received multiple tax credit claims from the same addresses. Subsequently, an investigation was launched.</span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thomas’ hand-written application forms were analysed, computer records were checked, and hours of recorded calls to the Tax Credit Helpline were listened to and a surveillance operation was carried out. The HRMC investigators viewed CCTV footage showing activity outside various North London Post Office ATMs.</span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thomas was eventually arrested at a cash point outside a Post Office in Hackney on October 7th last year. He was found to be in possession of 17 Post Office account cards in different names, two mobile phones and two fraudulently completed forms addressed to Jobcentre Plus.</span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When Abiola was arrested later the same day, she had £4,125 in her handbag. The mother-of-one claimed the money was her child benefit payment.</span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2210157/Nigerian-couple-tried-claim-3-8m-eye-watering-benefits-scam-using-1-400-identities.html" style="color: black; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Daily Mail</a> reports that the pair, who carried out the scam between January 3, 2007 and October 7, 2011, tried to claim £827,000 from HMRC, securing £43,000. They also claimed £3 million from the Department of Work and Pensions and received £44,000.</span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With Abiola’s help, Thomas used stolen personal details to complete 2,495 handwritten application forms, which were sent to the appropriate departments for processing.</span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thomas, who also happens to be an illegal immigrant pleaded guilty to three counts of conspiracy to defraud and money laundering offences. Abiola, a Nigerian national with leave to remain in the UK was also found guilty of four counts of conspiracy to defraud, money laundering and possession of criminal property.</span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They were both sentenced to jail this week. Thomas was sentenced to seven years in jail while Abiola received two-and-a-half years sentence.</span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Judge who read his sentence indicated Thomas should be deported after serving his time in the UK.</span></i></div>

One of the best places to visit in Australia is, of course, Sydney. Whether you're traveling like Nicki Minaj or on more of a budget, here are some tips for making the most of your stay in this cosmopolitan locale. Some popular places to stay include the <a href="http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/sydmc-sydney-harbour-marriott-hotel-at-circular-quay/" style="color: #33ccff; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel at Circular Quay</a>. This hotel is located downtown and has views of the harbor and the opera house; prime real estate for your stay in Australia. For those considering a uniquely luxurious hotel with a bed & breakfast feel, consider the <a href="http://www.simpsonshotel.com/" style="color: #33ccff; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Simpsons of Potts Point Hotel</a>. Ranked the number one hotel in Sydney by Tripadvisor.com, this is a small private boutique hotel that offers charming spaces for their guests. Continental breakfast, port, and sherry are complimentary. Not looking to spend all your travel money on a hotel? Consider the <a href="http://www.lordnelsonbrewery.com/" style="color: #33ccff; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Lord Nelson Brewery Hotel</a>. Yes, this is an actual brewery with its own bar and restaurant. Hotel accommodations sit atop the hotel and the rooms are simple, charming, colonial spaces with a touch of home.</div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: rgb(255, 255, 255) !important; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
After you have settled in, your first stop should be the renowned <a href="http://www.sydneyoperahouse.com/" style="color: #33ccff; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Sydney Opera House</a>. Possibly Australia's most famous building, go for a show or just to check out the famed architecture. Regardless, it will be a great experience, as this is an image you will want to send back to family and friends. From this vantage you will also be able to capture stunning views of Sydney Harbour.</div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: rgb(255, 255, 255) !important; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
Next stop: <a href="http://www.sydneytowereye.com.au/" style="color: #33ccff; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">the Sydney Tower</a>. One of the tallest structures in Sydney, the tower offers stunning views of the city. Make sure to go on a clear day for the best views possible. A quick walk east from the Tower will find you at Hyde Park. There, you can check out the stunningly impressive Archibald Fountain. In such a hot and dry city, you'll wonder how they manage to maintain such a large body of water! After your sightseeing is complete, rest and dine at the elegant Hyde Park Barracks cafe. Offering breakfast and lunch, this is a great spot for a midday rest.</div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: rgb(255, 255, 255) !important; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
If you are looking to spend the rest of the day inside and away from the heat, visit the <a href="http://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/" style="color: #33ccff; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Art Gallery of New South Wales</a>. A short distance from Hyde Park, most of the spaces within the museum are free and open to the public. However, before going make a plan of the exhibits you wish to visit to ensure that you get the most out of your time. Also, some temporary exhibits carry an entrance fee, so check with museum for more information.</div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: rgb(255, 255, 255) !important; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">
The hot, hot city of Sydney offers many fun and exciting activities both indoors and outside. Take precaution when traveling in the heat. Remember to rest when need and stay hydrated. Other than that, pack a bag, your passport, a camera, a bottle of water, your most comfortable shoes, and get going.</div>

A 20-year-old man attempted to rape his grandmother after complaining to her he could not get a girlfriend.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px;">
Samuel Dye is alleged to have beaten his grandmother with a hammer before launching the sex attack.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px;">
He had complained about not being able to find a girlfriend and told her he was going to ‘get some’.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px;">
Police said Dye’s assault was stopped by his father after he heard the screams of his 61-year-old mother.</div>

He found his son on top of his mother with his trousers pulled down and hitting her in the head with a hammer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px;">
The father pulled his own away and detained him until police arrived.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px;">
The alleged attack took place after Dye turned up at his grandmother’s home in Chester, South Carolina, at 4am last Thursday.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px;">
The woman told police Dye showed up at her home with a hammer in his hand and began complaining about not having a girlfriend. He said he was going to ‘get some’.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px;">
The arrest report, seen by the Charlotte Observer, said Dye began attacking her.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px;">
Dye then exposed himself to the woman and tried to rape her before hitting her in the head again and knocking her onto the ground, the report states.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px;">
Sheriff Richard Smith said Dye’s father caught him ‘in the act’ of trying to rape his mother.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: justify;">
At a major game such as the Olympics, sex itself is an athlete. The organisers may not have created a specific event for it but they recognise that it is a dominant force that has to be accommodated in certain ways.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: justify;">
This is evident in the number of condoms already awarded to the 10, 500 athletes in town – 150,000 coming to 15 per head. It does not matter whether or not you win any gold or bronze, everybody is thus a medalist when it comes to the condom largesse.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: justify;">
A mischievous folk says if he were the spouse or lover of any of the athletes, he would simply demand that they text to him the particulars of the condoms they received, so that on returning home, he would demand that they account for all the condoms allocated to them.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: justify;">
Beyond such a joke, the development has been raising nerves in some ways. Some people are alarmed that ‘unholy’ sex has to be so much anticipated and accommodated. But there is the indication that some athletes have already started putting the golden ‘gloves’ to appropriate use.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: justify;">
“There’s a lot of sex going on at the Olympics,” <em>Daily Mirror </em>quotes women’s football goalkeeper Hope Solo as saying. “I’ve seen athletes having sex out in the open, getting down and dirty on grass between buildings.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: justify;">
It is not clear how long the saintly goal tender will be able to be a mere observer, and how many other athletes feel the way she appears to do. Curiously, the intra-camp sex festival – sexlympics, if you like – may be compounded by the fact that in the months that preceded the commencement of the games, the police drove away many sex workers around the Olympic camp in East London.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: justify;">

Ashiru said in Abuja that the evacuees complied with government’s directive to leave Syria and he advised others to vacate the Middle East nation.</div>

“We have evacuated quite a lot of Nigerians from Syria, it was not an airlift exercise like we did in the case of Libya because they are very few.</div>

The minister also said that the families of the Charge d’Affairs and officials at the embassy had been relocated to the neighbouring nation of Lebanon “and they are very safe there.’’</div>

After initially insisting her comment had been ‘a joke’, the 23-year-old issued a lengthy apology and deleted the tweet. But she was still expelled from the team by the Greek Olympic Committee, who said her statements had been ‘contrary to the values and ideas of the Olympic movement’.</div>

‘We are making inquiries through our economic crime unit but, sadly, as this fraud originated overseas and had already taken place over several months before the police became involved, there is little realistic prospect of the money being recovered.</div>

‘People should on no account hand over any money or personal details if they receive a letter of this sort.<br />She said: ‘Someone pretending they were from the police rang my mother on Monday to say she had fraudulently used somebody’s card and would be picked up and taken to court in London if she did not pay them £250.<br />‘She was absolutely petrified. She rang me up in tears asking to borrow the money and couldn’t sleep the night before she was supposedly going to court.’</div>

Susan Carter, of Age UK Darlington, said: ‘These people are so plausible, they are often nicely spoken and polite, so it is very easy to be taken in by what they are saying.</div>

US rapper Snoop Dogg has been banned from entering Norway for two years after trying to enter the country with a small amount of marijuana last month, his lawyer says.<br />
Holger Hagesaeter, the rapper's legal representative in Norway, told The Associated Press on Saturday that his client 'can live with the decision' and has no immediate plans to appeal it.<br />
Snoop Dogg, whose name is Calvin Broadus, was on his way to a music festival in southern Norway in June when sniffer dogs detected eight grams of marijuana in his luggage. He was also carrying more cash than is legally allowed and was fined 52,000 kroner ($A8300) after admitting to the two<br />
offences, the lawyer said.<br />

The Guinness Book of World Records has named the “1001 Nights Diamond Purse” the world’s most expensive handbag. <a href="http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/41716188/ns/today-today_fashion_and_beauty/" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #cc0000; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">(via MSNBC)</a><span id="more-53016" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></div>

The diamond-encrusted purse, valued at just under $4 million, was on display at the Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition two weekends ago, where its soaring price tag set the record for the world’s most expensive handbag. Ten artisans put in 1,1000 hours of work over four months to create the heart-shaped bag, which is made of 4,517 diamonds.</div>

According to the New York Times:</span><br />
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
Shortly before the accident, the driver and seven passengers had left a nearby banquet hall, where an association of Nigerian immigrants had gathered from across the United States for a celebration that featured dancing and discussions about improvement projects they were sponsoring in their homeland.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
On Sunday morning, many of the same people were in mourning as they entered and left Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where the three survivors of the accident had been brought.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
“Did God go to sleep on us?” a participant in Saturday night’s festivities, Inno Chima, said Sunday as he stood on the sidewalk outside the hospital.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
As of late Sunday afternoon, the police had not released the identities of the victims, but among them were an 8-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
The accident occurred around 3:15 a.m., and the police believe the S.U.V. was speeding, the authorities said. Witnesses have told investigators that the vehicle ran two red lights shortly before the accident, which occurred on Atlantic Avenue just east of the Van Wyck.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
The vehicle struck a concrete support for the AirTrain to Kennedy International Airport, and flipped a number of times before coming to rest on the passenger side about 80 feet away, the authorities said.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
Then it ignited in flames.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
Some of the passengers were ejected from the vehicle, including a 26-year-old man, whom arriving rescue personnel found sitting on a curb, a spokesman for the Fire Department, Frank Dwyer, said in an e-mail.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
The driver, a 45-year-old woman who lives in the Bronx, was taken to Jamaica Hospital in critical condition.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
The third survivor is a 7-year-old boy who was in stable condition, the authorities said.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
It did not initially appear that any of the vehicle’s eight occupants were wearing seat belts, a law enforcement official said, although a community leader, Don Akamnonu, said Sunday evening that the 26-year-old man said he was wearing one. The vehicle, a Mercedes-Benz GL-class S.U.V., is built with seats for seven.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
During an interview outside the hospital, Mr. Chima said there was “casual drinking” at the Golden Terrace banquet hall, on Atlantic Avenue less than a mile from the accident site. But investigators do not believe that alcohol played a role in the accident, and emergency personnel did not detect the odor of alcohol at the crash scene, a law enforcement official said.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
On Sunday, investigators visited the banquet hall, asking about the nature of the Saturday night gathering and the time it ended, a woman who answered the phone at the banquet hall said.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
The celebration concluded a two-day annual convention of the Arondizuogu Patriotic Union National Congress of North America, according to attendees.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
“The convention was supposed to bring us together — not end in tragedy,” said Anthony Nwankwo, 49, from Houston. The convention draws about 200 people from across the United States.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
On the sidewalk outside Jamaica Hospital, a 68-year-old woman, Evelyn Anyaogu, from the Bronx, said she was a cousin of one of the people who died in the accident. Ms. Anyaogu identified her cousin as a Michigan woman, Nnenna Obioha, who was in her 50s or older.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
“She has the best heart in the whole world,” Ms. Anyaogu said.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
Ms. Anyaogu recalled how festive the night had been at the convention. “We danced our native dance,” she said, adding that it was a “very, very good time.”</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
But those memories quickly evaporated when Ms. Anyaogu received a call from the authorities to “tell me what happened.”</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
“How do you cope?” she added.</div>

The former Chelsea striker started the game on the bench but came on at half time, almost scoring with his first touch of the ball — an outrageous 40-yard free kick which Guangzhou goalkeeper Cheng Yuelei tipped wide.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">

The game had been one of China’s most eagerly-awaited this season, with Drogba-fever having swept the Chinese football world.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
Former Japan national team coach Phillippe Troussier, now managing Chinese second division side Shenzhen Ruby, and Italian World-Cup winning coach Marcello Lippi, manager of Guangzhou Evergrande, were in the stands.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
Shenhua have struggled badly this season, winning just four of 17 games, but they played with a increased level of confidence when Drogba, a European Champions League winner with Chelsea in May, stepped onto the pitch.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
In the 52nd minute of the game the Ivory Coast striker headed just over the bar from a cross from winger Feng Renliang, and was at the centre of every Shenhua move as the side tried to get back into the game.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">

The match was also notable for being the first time Drogba and Nicolas Anelka have played on the same side. The latter sealed a 175,000 pounds ($273,000) a week move from Chelsea to Shenhua last December.</div>

(AFP) – Hundreds of sex workers from around the world who said they were denied visas to attend an international AIDS conference in the United States began their own meeting in Kolkata, India, on Saturday in protest.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
Some 550 representatives of sex workers from India and 41 other countries were attending the seven-day event in the eastern Indian city, organisers said.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
“Sex workers wanted to be a part of the US conference to fight the challenge of HIV/AIDS across the world,” said Bharati De, secretary of the Committee for Coordination of Indomitable Women, which represents sex workers in Kolkata.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
India’s AIDS control programme has cut new HIV/AIDS infections by 50 percent in the last 10 years. The country has an estimated 2.4 million people with HIV.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
One of India’s key strategies has been to scale up preventive education campaigns among high-risk groups such as sex workers.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
But despite the significant drop in fresh cases, India still has the highest number of people living with HIV after South Africa and Nigeria.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
The Indian conference has been called the sex workers’ “Freedom Festival”.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
The Kolkata meeting will deliberate on the “Seven Freedoms” — the right to move, work, have access to healthcare, participate, organise, be free of violence and discrimination — without which sex workers say they cannot reduce their vulnerability to HIV.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
“Sex workers have decided to hold a parallel conference here in Kolkata to make their voices heard,” Smarajit Jana, chairwoman of the Indian event, told AFP.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
“We hope this conference will make sex workers’ voices louder and stronger,” Jana said outside the conference auditorium on the eastern fringes of the West Bengal state capital.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 14px; text-align: left;">
Held every two years, the International AIDS Conference is returning to the United States for the first time since 1990, after being kept away by laws that barred people with HIV from travelling to the country.</div>

But “the US government’s travel restriction for sex workers will bar many of them from attending the conference,” Andrew Hunter, president of the Global Network of Sex Work Projects, said in Kolkata.</div>

“With the US now leading the fight for lesbian, gay and transgender equality, we are extremely disappointed they refuse to revise their restrictions on sex workers and refuse to recognise we’re human beings with basic rights,” he added.</div>

<strong><i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">T</span></i><i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">WO men who allegedly tried to hijack a plane in China were beaten to death by passengers and crew.</span></i></strong></div>
</div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The <a href="http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/718017.shtml" target="_blank">Global Times </a>newspaper reported that two of the suspects died in hospital from injuries they suffered during the ensuing fight with passengers and crew on board.</span></i></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The men were part of a six-strong gang involved in the foiled hijack of a Tianjin Airlines flight bound for the regional capital of Urumqi last Friday.</span></i></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just minutes after the flight took off from Hetian, southwest Xinjiang, the men, all aged between 20 and 36, stood up and announced their plans to terrified passengers.</span></i></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The gang reportedly broke a pair of aluminium crutches and used them to attack passengers while attempting to break into the cockpit, Hou Hanmin, a regional government spokeswoman said.</span></i></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They were tackled by police and passengers who tied them up with belts before the plane, carrying 101 people, returned to the airport safely just 22 minutes later.</span></i></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hanmin added that police were still testing materials they had been carrying, thought to be explosives.</span></i></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The men were reported to be Uighurs, the local Muslim ethnic minority. There have been clashes between authorities and Uighurs resentful of government controls over their religion and culture.</span></i></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dilxat Raxit, spokesman for the German-based World Uyghur Congress which campaigns for Uighurs’ rights, said that it wasn’t a hijacking attempt, rather an in-flight brawl over a seat dispute.</span></i></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“We warn China not to use this incident as another excuse for crackdown,” he said in an emailed statement.</span></i></div>

<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-family: LiberationSerifBold, Times, serif; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">A FIND at an Austrian castle is giving archaeologists a peek under history's skirt - and revealing women have worn lingerie for 600 years.</strong></div>

The University of Innsbruck said that archeologists have found four linen bras dating from the Middle Ages in an Austrian castle.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, Times, serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-left: 10px; max-width: 487px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
Fashion experts describe the find as surprising because the bra had commonly been thought to be only little more than 100 years old as women abandoned the tight corset.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: LiberationSerifRegular, Times, serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-left: 10px; max-width: 487px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
Instead, it appears the bra came first, followed by the corset, followed by the reinvented bra.</div>

One specimen in particular "looks exactly like a (modern) brassiere," says Hilary Davidson, fashion curator for the London Museum. "These are amazing finds".</div>
