The attack happened in the northern suburbs of Marseille, the regional newspaper La Provence reports.

has anyone else seen U23D? i thought it was pretty damn mind-blowing, a) because it's U2, but b) because of this brand-new technology. it wasn't like those cheesy 3D movies we've all seen where a few of the figures stand out from the background like cardboard cut outs and are really just 2D figures on a different plane from the background--this is like how things ACTUALLY are. the stand-out figures (which is pretty much everything, not just the focus of the shot) are truly 3D and contoured, and the depth of the entire picture is mindblowing. you're pretty much convinced that you're standing on the stage with bono and the edge, it's that impressive. you feel like you're ac…

UN suspends aid to Gaza for lack of fuel GAZA CITY (AFP) — The United Nations stopped distributing aid to the Gaza Strip on Thursday after running out of fuel as the Israeli terminal that supplies the besieged Palestinian territory remained shut. "We have just stopped the distribution of all food aid to 650,000 Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip because of the lack of fuel in our storage in Gaza," said Adnan Abu Hasna, a spokesman for the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) office in Gaza. "We also stopped transporting students and officials in the Gaza Strip," he told AFP. "Not a litre of fuel came from Israel," he added. Israel, which maintains a punishi…

Police Remove Olympic Torch Bearer On Orders Of Chinese Paramilitary Thugs Communist Chinese-style political oppression came to San Francisco on Wednesday when police, acting on the orders of Chinese paramilitary cops, removed and shoved to the sidewalk an Olympic torch bearer for displaying a Tibetan flag, as the woman's pleas that she had the right to free speech as an American citizen fell on deaf ears. After seizing the Tibetan flag, the blue tracksuit-clad specially trained Chinese paramilitary police thugs who manhandled protesters in London made the torch bearer known to the San Francisco police were all too willing to do their dirty work for them. …

The arrest of a Colorado woman for allegedly impersonating an abused girl has cast doubt on the tip-off that led to a massive police raid on a polygamist compound in Texas. A total of 416 children were taken from the remote 1,700-acre Yearning For Zion (YFZ) ranch after an April 3 raid on the breakaway Mormon sect of the jailed polygamist leader Warren Jeffs. The controversial operation against the 10,000-strong Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was provoked by a call to an abuse hotline from a 16-year-old girl who identified herself as Sarah. The caller said that she had an eight-month-old baby and was pregnant with another child afte…

An accountant who stole £70,000 from two churches has been ordered by a judge to repay the money by selling his huge stamp collection on eBay. Derek Klein, 53, was jailed for 16 months in September after admitting taking the money over a 14-year period when he worked as the treasurer of two parochial church councils. Norwich Crown Court heard how Klein, one of the leading philatelists in Britain, had spent the money on funding his addiction to stamp dealing and internet gambling. Now his entire collection will be auctioned off on the website, triggering intense interest from stamp collectors around the world. Items in his collection include stamps issued to ma…

Five police officers were injured when they crashed three patrol cars during a high-speed chase with a £120,000 Bentley Continental stolen by three teenage joyriders. The supercar, which has a top speed of 195mph, careered off the road and flew through the air before coming to rest on its roof. Debris from the mangled wreck, including the Bentley's front grille, its bonnet and one of its wheels, was flung across the road. The first police car, following close behind, hit the debris - then the second car smashed into the back of the first one. The third police car swerved to avoid the crash and plunged off the road, causing 'serious damage.' The Ben…

French security officials have been forced to extinguish the Olympic torch three times as it passes through Paris ahead of the Beijing Games in August. Officials extinguished and put the torch on a bus for safety reasons, in the face of anti-China protests. The mayor of Paris cancelled a ceremony due to mark the torch relay after activists hung a Tibetan flag from the city hall. Police have made several arrests as protesters try to disrupt the relay. The French protests came after 37 people were arrested during pro-Tibet protests which disrupted Sunday's relay in London. Earlier on Monday, the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Jac…
