Poke! Libya close to freedom; Daniel's shoes; soldier wounded (22nd August 2011)

Libya on the brink of true freedom [CNN]
Now, after 6 months of civil war claiming countless lives, and trained rebels trying to topple the Gadhafi's 42-year ruling, the freedom fighters and their allies have controlled most of Tripoli, the capital of Libya. However, Gadhafi is still remaining unknown regarding his location in the capital. Confident that victory was close, the rebel government began making plans to govern. A complicated civil matter happening in the northern African country, and I hope the country will be free from the regime of Gadhafi, and once and for all united as a sovereign country.

Shoes found in site confirmed as Daniel's [Brisbane Times]
The Morcombe family can finally
consider funeral plans for Daniel
After the breakthrough of bones and shoes, the Morcombe family has finally given a chance to plan of a funeral for their late son. Bruce Morcombe, father of Daniel, has spoken to media after the police confirmed the shoes found at the Sunshine Coast search site are the same Globe brand as Daniel was wearing when he disappeared in 2003. Although they cannot confirm if the size of the shoes are of Daniel's feet, they said their characteristics were consistent with Daniel's shoes. It's raining so heavily in this few days, forcing the team of searchers to pause their search today, hopefully the weather will turn fine and let the search unit continue their search as soon as possible.

Australian Digger heavily wounded in Afghanistan [Brisbane Times]
As of now, there are no detailed report about an Australian soldier who was involved in an incident in Afghanistan. But the article said if a death is confirmed, it will be the 29th solider fatality in Afghanistan amid the current operations. Sad news of the unrest war-zone and the families, and I just hope that Australia will send their troops back home and end this ridiculous 'peacekeeping' mission.

UPDATE: Soldier confirmed death from sustaining severe wounds. My humble condolences.
