Troy Davis executed.

Troy Davis a man convincted of murder completely on eye witness evidence has been put to death. This has come after years of protests to let him go as no evidence has proven him guilty. Moments before being put to death by lethal injection, the supreme court called and had the execution held off for 90 minutes to revise the decision which was not over turned and he was executed. His case was widely debated for there was a lack of evidence and he was thought innocent by most people involved in the case. Questions are bought up about the death penalty and executing the innocent.

Su-34 bomber passes flight test


A brand new stealth bombing aircraft has been developed by The Russian Airforce for use within the next year. The aircraft is equipped with advanced radar, plasma stealth technlogy and advanced weapon systems. This is just another small step in a massive reform of Russia's military. The extensive overhaul of the Russian military is supposed to end in 2012 with an additional $800 billion added into the system. Russia's moderization of their military is felt as a neccessity as threats of western governments and middle eastern nations.

Atleast 87 people have been killed in a strategic attack and car bombing by Anders Behring Breivik, an Extreme Anti-Muslim Norwegian nationalist on July 24th 2011. A car bomb was set off in Oslo, Norway infront of the parliamentary office. Shortly after, a youth group meeting on Utoya island was open fired on by Breivik who was disguised as a police officer. Shortly thereafter Norweigan SWAT arrived to the scene of the massacre and arrested Breivik who was walking around looking for more people. And if i was the officer who arrested Breivik i probably would have killed him myself.
