Hmmm, Na wa o, I doubt this is Nigeria, such a snake cannot be allowed to grow this big in this country where hunger reigns. And if it's in Nigeria the killers must have killed it in a very rough large. Forest.
A police officer and a courthouse employee have been killed in an explosion outside Izmir courthouse in western Turkey, Reuters reports.
At least 10 people were hospitalized after the blast while two suspected attackers have been killed following clashes with police, according to the news agency.
Dogan News Agency reports that a search has begun for a third suspect, citing the state-run Andalou agency.
The news outlet reports that a car bomb exploded right in front of the flag near the courthouse, causing damage to several vehicles.
Police officers are believed to be among the injured, according to Dogan.
Ambulances and police teams are at the scene.
The secretary general of the city municipality, Bugra Gokce, confirmed to CNN Turk that the explosion was caused by a car bomb.
The carpark was reserved for prosecutors and judges, according to CNN Turk.
A temporary media gag order has been issued on the attack, according to Hurriyet.
The suspected terror attack comes less than a week after 39 people were shot dead on New Year’s Eve at a nightclub in Istanbul. Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) claimed responsibility for the attack.
Turkish officials say they have established the identity of the gunman, but have not released his name. The man, who is thought to be of Uyghur ethnicity, according to Turkey’s Deputy Prime Minister Veysi Kaynak, is still at large.
Russia is not behind the malware activity at the Vermont power utility in the US, the Washington Post reports quoting unnamed officials. The article follows a correction of another report by the newspaper, alleging Moscow hacked the US power grid via Vermont.
On 30 December last year, Burlington Electric a Vermont-based power company, raised the alarm over a potential malware on one of its computers and reported the case to the authorities.
The incident happened as a company’s employee was checking his Yahoo email account, with an alert suggesting his laptop was connected to a suspicious IP address.
After examining the computer, officials “found a package of software tools commonly used by online criminals to deliver malware,” the Washington Post writes citing experts.
The evidence suggests “the incident is not linked to any Russian government effort to target or hack the utility,” the newspaper reports, referring to the respective officials. The alert during the email check is “not descriptive of anything in particular,” Robert M. Lee, chief executive of cybersecurity firm Dragos is quoted as saying.
A day after the incident at the Vermont utility, the Washington Post headlined its initial story, “Russian operation hacked a Vermont utility.” Citing unnamed officials, the Post alleged that the supposed hack even put the entire “US electrical grid security” at risk.
However, Burlington Electric issued a statement in the immediate aftermath of the incident, saying the computer in question was “not connected” to the organization’s grid systems. The suspected traffic has been also “observed elsewhere in the country and is not unique to Burlington Electric,” the company added referring to information from federal officials.
The Washington Post was forced to backtrack on its earlier allegations and published an editorial note conceding their reports were “incorrect” and saying officials had no such "indications."
It is not the first time the Washington Post has had to offer a correction. In November last year, the newspaper was forced to correct a story where it was alleged that Russia influenced the US Presidential elections via a massive “fake news” campaign.
A key source for the article was research conducted by a group called PropOrNot, which listed some 200 websites, allegedly spreading Russian propaganda. Following complaints from some of the outlets, PropOrNot removed them from the list. The Washington Post on its part issued a correction, saying it did not “vouch for the validity of PropOrNot’s findings.”
In December, the Washington Post published an article citing a secret CIA report, which claimed that Russia deliberately tried to help Donald Trump to become the next US President. In an interview with Fox News the Republican President-elect labelled the allegations “ridiculous.” He added it was a way to simply justify the loss of Hillary Clinton as Democrats “suffered one of the greatest defeats in the history of politics” in the US.
Meanwhile, in September 2016, the US based consulting company Gallup said that Americans' trust in the mass media had dropped to its lowest level in in it’s over 80 years of history.
There is no common sense in this senator shehu's assertion, it is clearly stated that the winner is the one who gets the highest vote. It's not Ben Bruce or anybody that just sits down somewhere and pick the winner.
Too many clowns in this buhari govt, in all these long useless epistle said by this extremist minister, he didn't mention how the crisis would be solved, whether some of those "Muslim herdsmen" had been caught, how he or the govt would deal with criminals and Fulani terrorist.
When you look at those in charge of this govt and the inhuman and barbaric killings being perpetrated by those terrorist, you then understand why there has been so much deafening silence.
What am sure of is that these evil men in power would pay heavily for their sins.
Obama said more sanctions are on the way but with the way Putin made Obama look like a small boy I doubt if shame would even make Obama do any other thing about Russia till he leaves office
This was the same MEND praising buhari last year, now their demands of releasing the orkah brothers have failed, they are passing a worthless vote of no confidence.
Though no sane Nigerian has any confidence in buhari
Gunnaz007: Such a zombie... So you actually believe the lies planted by the libtards of America and the extreme leftwing ideologues of the Democratic party that Russia was responsible for hacking John Podesta's emails and the DNC emails Obama the suck puppet and his neocon puppet masters (chiefly George Soros) are only using the hack allegation against Russia as a smokescreen to get back at Russia for their positive intervention in Syria, which has brought about a peace initiative that has been adopted by a UN resolution just two days ago. The gay arse sissy Barack Hussein Obama who has politicized the Intel agencies in the US only used leftwing libartard leaning agents to produce that empty report that alleged Russia was responsible for the hacked emails. You are so brainwashed by CNN and other MSM lies you cant differentiate between day and night! The stolen emails from John Podesta and the DNC was an insider job by both an assassinated DNC staff who was sympathetic to Bernie Sanders Presidential campaign and some NSA agents who did not want to see and extremely careless crooked hillary clinton become the President of the United States after her very corrupt and fraudulent stint as Secretary of State, where she exposed America's Intel agents to danger by keeping a private server in her basement, which was definitely against the oaths she swore when she took office. I can bet you the truth will come out when the DON is inaugurated in 19 days' time. If you know anything about Computer Security, you will know that no hacker will leave true traces to his location before and after carrying out a hack, instead they will leave misleading traces; meaning that I can be carrying out an hack from the UK but I will program my IP to be located from Afghanistan. The US are masters at hacking other nations and influencing elections in mostly developing nations. This same Obambiala covertly sent his slowpoke 2008 campaign adviser, David Axelrod to Nigeria to work for Buhari's election against Jonathan in 2015. Did Jonathan raise dust concerning that external influence? No. David Axelrod and others were also dispatched to Israel with millions of Dollars to help the lefties party there to defeat Bibi Natanyahu in Israel but they got a beating from Bibi because Bibi is an Alpha-male unlike the slowpoke Jonathan that allowed the external rape to succeed. Obama and his hoard of zombified libartards are better described as hypocrites to the supremum and infinum of infinite real numbers, who cannot take what they dish out to others. Obama is the greatest divider that ever mounted the seat of the Presidency in the US. So much for voting in a black man twice thinking it will foster unity, now he is leaving the nation more divided than he met it! They play the race, feminist, religious card in campaigns against their opponents when they are losing an argument, whereas their hearts are filled with so much hate!! By January 21, 2017, Obummer, who spent $96milion over the past 8years on vacations for himself and his tranny wife 'Michael' and their 'adopted' daughters with his 'na me be this?' mother-in-law, will take the lead as the worst president the US has ever had!! What a disgrace to the black race, a suckPuppet with a fake/forged US birth certificate, a snowflake whose mission was to weaken the status of the United States and Israel in the eyes of their enemies, an orangutan masquerading as a champion of the common man, a radical Islamist who covertly sponsors ISIS. The lake of fire is reserved for this man and his fellow reprobates who have elevated abomination to the highest levels in western societies calling good evil and evil good.
zedman1: Good news don't sell, imagine a caption like "Obama celebrates his birthday chilling with friends and family"my brother, will you be driven to read such?
what's the difference between this your example with all these irrelevant celebrity stories u see on front page. It's not about good news or bad news but about issues that shapen the world whether good or bad.
Demmzy15: The story of the attacker dressing as Santa is actually false, if you've watched the footage released, he was actually dressed in black and had a face cap. He began shouting outside killing someone in the middle of the road, others who were outside quickly rushed inside to take and he followed them!
asuustrike2009: It's not Seun's fault. Bad news spread like harmattan in Nigeria and isn't peculiar to nairaland but most print and electronic media. A very good example is Chidinma cucumber saga and Prophet T.B Joshua's prophecies on USA election
it doesn't stop other relevant educative post from making front page.
justflow1: i tink that is a blow on the U.S jaws, they felt they are at the apex, and if the war eventually comes, the Americans wont believe their eyes with what the people at the other side will do
While Pope Francis tweeted about reflecting on 2016 and being thankful for the year, President-elect Donald Trump took a different tone with his New Year’s message, including to his “many enemies.” “Happy New Year to all, including to my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don’t know what to do,” he wrote in the tweet.
It was only a matter of seconds before he was mocked for his words. Some Twitter users thought a simple greeting would have been just fine.
The latest tweet follows Trump’s praise for Vladimir Putin being “very smart” for not retaliating after President Barack Obama expelled 35 Russian officials from the US in wake of the email hacking accusations.
