Mohammed holds 'Je suis Charlie' sign in new Charlie Hebdo
The
cover of the first edition of the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo
since its staff were murderously attacked by Islamist gunmen last week
shows a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed crying and holding up a "Je suis
Charlie" sign under the words: "All is forgiven". Worldwide sympathy
and "Je Suis Charlie" solidarity rose up around Charlie Hebdo in the
wake of the attack against it last Wednesday, in which 12 people were
killed including five of its top cartoonists. The two gunmen who
attacked Charlie Hebdo's offices in Paris last Wednesday said as they
left the scene that they had "avenged the Prophet Mohammed". The
surviving employees of Charlie Hebdo have sworn to uphold its tradition
of lampooning all religions, politicians, celebrities and news events.Read More ...

Tuesday will announce a renewed push for cybersecurity legislation after
recent headline-grabbing hacks against companies like Sony Pictures and
Home Depot. Obama will throw his support behind efforts to give

Apparent Islamic State backers hack U.S. military Twitter feed
By
David Alexander and Jim Finkle (Reuters) - The Twitter and YouTube
accounts for the U.S. military command that oversees operations in the
Middle East were hacked on Monday by people claiming to be sympathetic
toward the Islamic State militant group being targeted in American

control of parts of Syria and Iraq. U.S. ...Read More ...
Keystone oil pipeline bill advances in Senate
Congress
edged closer to approving the Keystone XL oil pipeline on Monday, with
several Senate Democrats bucking President Barack Obama to vote for the
contentious project's construction. It cleared its first major hurdle in
the Republican-controlled Senate, advancing on a 63-32 vote, including
11 Democratic supporters. Monday's vote officially kicked off debate on
the long-delayed project, which if constructed by builder TransCanada
would transport crude from Alberta's oil sands south to refineries on
the US Gulf Coast. Keystone supporters received a boost Friday when
Nebraska's Supreme Court dismissed a suit challenging a proposed route
of the pipeline, which had been one of the primary rationales for the
Obama administration delaying its decision on the pipeline.Read More ...

Check out the Pope's new ride
Pope
Francis will travel in a different kind of "popemobile" during his
visit to the Philippines later this week -- an open "jeepney",
organisers said Monday. The iconic jeepney -- originally made from
converted US military jeeps left behind after World War II -- has become
a symbol of the Philippines and still serves as a mode of
transportation throughout the country. One of three vehicles to be used
by Francis will be built like a jeepney, which is known in the country
as the "king of the road" and transports anything from people to farm
animals and produce. While jeepney's are often painted with colourful
religious scenes, the pontiff's vehicle will be plain white, a
photograph from the organising committee showed.Read More ...
