Clash occurs between right- and left-wing extremists at an Oslo cemetery. Aftenposten:
The clash occurred as a group of neo-Nazis were holding a ceremony honoring German soldiers who were stationed and died in Norway during the Nazi occupation of World War II.
Their ceremony was held at a German cemetery in Oslo's Alfaset district Sunday evening. Suddenly, another group proving to be left-wing extremists turned up, after their right-wing counterparts had lit torches on the German graves.
The left-wing extremists were all wearing vests featuring reflector tape, but police couldn't immediately identify any of them or attach them to any anti-Nazi group.

Within seconds, the decoder had scanned the Internet and found the unlock codes for hundreds of pay channels, allowing illegal access.

Some people in the UK are upset that others want to drop charges against children under fourteen who brutally tortured animals in a wildlife park. Evening Telegraph:
