Egypt bomb kills new year churchgoers | World news. A man observes the scene of the bomb blast from within the Coptic church in Alexandria, Egypt. Photograph: Ben Curtis/AP At least 21 people have been killed and more than 70 injured in Egypt in a suspected suicide bombing outside a church in Alexandria as worshippers left a new year service. It was initially thought a car bomb had caused the explosion just after midnight at the Coptic orthodox al-Qidiseen church. But the interior ministry suggested a foreign-backed suicide bomber may have been responsible. The blast did not originate in any of the cars that were destroyed, a ministry statement said. The circumstances of the attack "clearly indicates that foreign elements undertook planning and execution", the statement said. The governor of Alexandria, Adel Labib, accused al-Qaida of planning the bombing.
His assessment was shared by Kameel Sadeeq of the city's Coptic Christian council. Following the blast, hundreds of Christians took to the streets, clashing with police and Muslims. English.

An example of hard power is the US backing the unsuccessful 2002 military coup d’état against Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, when businessman Pedro Carmona Estanga briefly took power. An example of the US’s soft power is the current situation in Venezuela.
A leaked document from November of 2013 shows that the US Agency for International Development (USAID) collaborated with the Colombian government and Venezuelan opposition leaders to destabilize Venezuela and stoke massive protests.

Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion, to the futility of thinking and striving anymore.
I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward — and since I can start thinking and striving again that much sooner.” — Kurt Vonnegut, St. Comedian and "Conan" writer Laurie Kilmartin is, at the time of this posting, watching her father pass away.

That’s exactly where the Pentagon is looking to build underwater mini-depots for the U.S.
Navy. In fact, only hours after Visclosky grumbled about sunken ships sitting on the bottom of the ocean, the Pentagon said it’s moving closer to making that cold and forbidding place a base for U.S. military hardware. “The approach centers on pre-deploying deep-ocean nodes years in advance in forward areas which can be commanded from standoff to deliver a wide range of unmanned and distributed systems to the sub-surface, surface, and air,” the Pentagon says. That original summary of the program repeatedly declared the nodes’ payloads would be “non-lethal.” Sigalon's BBC Soup. Sigalon's News Soup. Sigalon's BP Oil Spill Soup. Gulf Oil Spill.
