The 10 year old Penguin stolen from the Zoo and dumped in the City centre is yet another example of the dangers posed to wild animals by Zoos. Zoos are a remnant of bygone days and merely a continuation of the outdated Victorian menageries of the past. They serve no purpose other than that of commercial gain. read full story / add a comment

Abu Daoud is dead but his memory lives on in the struggle for a free Palestine. The mastermind behind the 1972 Munich Olympics attacjk in which 11 Israeli athletes (who were IDF Reservists) were killed, has died, his daughter and Palestinian officials say. Mohammed Oudeh died of kidney failure a day after he was taken to hospital in Syria, his daughter said. He was 73.
