Shooting at Norway mosque investigated as 'possible act of terrorism'

• An armed attack at a Norwegian mosque on Saturday will be investigated as a possible act of terrorism, police said on Sunday.

An armed attack at a Norwegian mosque on Saturday will be investigated as a possible act of terrorism, police said on Sunday.

The suspected shooter at the al-Noor Islamic Center near the Norwegian capital – a young, white male carrying several guns – had expressed far-right, anti-immigrant views online, assistant chief of police Rune Skjold told a news conference.

"We're investigating this as an attempt at carrying out an act of terrorism," he said.

The suspect had been apprehended after the attack, in which shots were fired but no one was hurt, with members of the congregation having overpowered him before police arrived.

"These people showed great courage," Skjold added.

Only three people were present in the mosque at the time of the attack, preparing for Sunday's celebration of the Eid-al-Adha festival, mosque spokesman Waheed Ahmed told Reuters on Saturday.

The attacker was also suspected of killing one of his own family members, a young woman who was found dead at his home, police said earlier.

Russia, after protests, tells Google not to advertise 'illegal' events

Russia's state communications watchdog said on Sunday it had asked Google to stop advertising"illegal mass events" on its YouTube video platform.

Tens of thousands of Russians staged what observers called the country's biggest political protest for eight years on Saturday, defying a crackdown to demand free elections to Moscow's city legislature.

The watchdog, Roscomnadzor, said Russia would consider it interference in its sovereign affairs and a hostile influence should Google fail to respond to the request.

Jacobson’s Jewellery

Jacobson’s Jewellery
An article “$3.5m in watches seized in raid on diamond dealer” (SMH, 21-22 July 2018), reported on a police raid of a business in Bondi Junction, in which watches and cash were seized and financial records were examined. The article named the business as Jacobson’s Jewellery. This was incorrect. The business raided was in fact WE1, an unrelated watch business which happened to share premises with Jacobson’s Jewellery. The SMH apologises to the proprietors of Jacobson’s Jewellery stores, Yahko, Hazme and Robert Saffo, for any damage and hurt they have suffered.

Watch Patrick Mahomes show off pinpoint accuracy by hitting a moving drone with a ball

Patrick Mahomes repeatedly dazzled with his arm during the Most Valuable Player campaign he put together last year. Whether it was his elite arm strength or throwing a ball left-handed, it seemed like there wasn't anything Mahomes couldn't do. 

Now, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback can check off another item on his list: drilling a moving drone on the field. 

In a video posted by Bleacher Report, Mahomes and an individual operating the drone coordinate on the route. After missing on the first attempt, Mahomes nails the drone on a ball across the middle. 

Last month, Mahomes showed off his big arm by tossing a football out of Arrowhead Stadium. 

The Chiefs won their preseason opener 38-17 against the Bengals on Saturday. Mahomes completed all four of his passes for 66 yards before watching the rest of the contest from the sideline. 

If Elected, Bernie Sanders Will Reveal What the Government Knows About Aliens

Presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), during an interview on Joe Rogan’s podcast this week, promised the host that he would expose what the government may know about aliens because his wife Jane would insist he do so.

Rogan asked how a possible future President Sanders would handle what some might consider sensitive information: “If you found out something about aliens. If you found out something about UFOs, would you let us know?”

“Well, I’ll tell you, my wife would demand that I tell you,” Sanders replied with a laugh.

Rogan then asked if Sanders’ wife was a “UFO nut”? Sanders said, “No, she is not a UFO nut.” But, Sanders added, she has raised the topic and has asked, “What is going on? And whether he has “access to records.”

Rogan followed up and asked Sanders if he did have access to any UFO-related records and Sanders replied, “I don’t. Honestly, I don’t.”

Rogan then asked, “You’ll let us know?”

Sanders replied, “Alright.” And then promised, if elected, that he’d “announce [any findings] on [Rogan’s] show.”

In May, the subject of UFOs made news when reports surfaced that Navy pilots had relayed information to higher ups about seeing strange objects in the skies in 2014 and 2015.
