There are at least 27 people dead in Kingston, Jamaica. They were killed in the middle of an all-out police sudden attack on a suspected drug lord's stronghold. 26 of the dead were civilians and one was a Jamaican Defense Force member. Other 25 civilians and six defense force members were injured. The government said that the ones who were killed were mostly males.
We think that it is so sad to know that innocent people were killed. It is a shame to see how their family will suffer. The violence in the world has become a big problem. It is bad that the majority of the news are of violence and massacres. A lot of people suffer in 365 days, its very sad.

Mikhail Khodorkovsky, a Russian prisioner was once the richest man in Russia. Tells the latest corruption case that prevent him of getting out of jail. He was the head of an oil company called Yukos, was imprisoned since 2003, for comiting fraud and tax evasion. He dosent know if the corruption is coming from political, emotional, or self-interest. If this case continues, he will be imprisoned for over 22 years.
We think that its very interesting this corruption case. We think it can relate to some problems we have in Guatemala. They should do something better to solve the problem. It is shocking that the guy had a lot of money and wasted his money.
A 8-year-old Dutch kid is the only survivor of a deadly plane crash in Lybia. Other 92 passengers and 11 crew members were killed when the plane, Afriqiyah Airways crashed while trying to land into Tripoli International Airport. The kid, Ruben van Assouw, suffered a lot of fractures and had an operation at Al Khadra Hospital in Tripoli.
We think that it is very sad that these kid is alone because he's family died. It would be interesting that they figured out how the plane crashed because it was a big tragedy. At least its good that this kid survived. Its really sad what happened and we hope the kid has good authority.

Three people dead as an aftermath. The cause of death was a bombing in the central bank in Athens, Greece. The victims were employees in the bank (two women and a man). Protesters tossed bottles and other things to the Riot Police, yelling "torturers" and "liars". Protesters burnt garbage bins and cars. They also threw flames from buildings and fire trucks, burning ground, such as the ground in front of the Temple of Zeus.
We think that its very impressive how Greeks could be so violent, we could never see this coming. Its interesting to see this news right after we learned about Greek Mythology. Its sad that this happened, because of this 3 people lost their lives. They shouldn't do it so violent, they would've done it more calmly.
