Bomb plot threat amidst 10th 9/11 anniversary [Brisbane Times]

It's been 10 years since I first saw the striking video of 2 planes crashing towards the World Trade Centre on news, 11th September 2001. Ten years on, Osama bin Ladin has been killed, but the terrorism never fade away. Today is a very important day for the US, as well as the world to reflect on their anti-terrorism effort. Now areas around New York and Washington has put on alert on reports showing 2 Al-Qaeda operatives has flown into the US to plan on another row of terrorist attack. Police has armed heavy weapons and increased overall security on both cities. In this important day of the year, I recommend everyone to stay safe and not to wander around outside. Or simply stay at home, finish up your assignments before the due date comes.

Despite no detectable plans of terrorism in Australia, home grown terror attacks are still feasible [Courier Mail]

4 domestic terror attacks was foiled and prevented since the 9/11 attack last decade. But Attorney-General Robert McClelland has said attacks from homegrown terrorist are still feasible. He also mentioned that even though the focus of investigation is only a small group of people, but there is still possibilities that they will bring threats and cause harms to the general public. After the 9/11 attack, Australian government has also raised their concerns about the safety of borders and the security of Australian people. People should take note the fight against terrorism is not finished, and the people will never forgive those who will plan to attack on our soil.

Gay protest held at Mount Isa, where Bob Katter's stronghold located [Brisbane Times]

Bob Katter is such a conservative crook. He not only uses mere tactics to get on popularity, he also opposes gay marriage. That caused his half-brother Carl to come out and defend homosexuals. Today, about 70 people has gathered outside Bob's office to protest equal opportunity to allow same-sex marriage as well as heterosexual marriage. This rally was described as the first gay rally in Mount Isa. Quite a monument that is.
