In Yemen this week, a suicide bomber killed 101 people. This blast also injured 220 other people that were close by. The man was undetected as he stole a military uniform to hid the bomb. Ambulances arrived hours after the explosion and took several hours to clear the scene. They were only able to carry 6 or 7 victims per car. So far, there is no known group responsible for the attack. But officials suspect Al Qaeda. Yemen is mostly lawless, and a center for fighting against the terrorist group. The blast was targeted against a military parade that was taking place at the time.

Korean Missile Test

I know we already talked about this but i just wanted to put this gif on my blog. Korea has recently tested another war missile. This test was unsuccessful and it angered many countries. America has cut all funding to the people of Korea. Their leader is a strict dictator which blinds them from the outside world. There is no media like there is here, and they are told very little. America has supplied these starving people due to government taking most of it. And after this unsuccessful missile test, the flow of supplies will stop and a lot of Koreans will die.

Secret Service

President Obama traveled to Colombia to to talk to the Colombian President. Ten secret service agents brought 21 prostitutes back to the hotel they were staying in. Once word got out, all the agents were sent back to America for investigation. The experience in the group of men varied from none to 20 year old veterans. There were two marines, who handled dogs, and the rest were army and navy explosive experts. This took place right before Obama arrived in the country. They were relieved from duty and replacements were ready before Obama landed.

Should America Care?

Syria over the past few months has become increasing violent. Bloody violence has torn the government and protesters. The events are horrible, but should America get involved? Syria is in the heart of the Middle East, violence could influence the surrounding countries. Surrounding countries have been hiding and supplying terrorist groups. The increased violence spilling over to the others countries would be the perfect environment for terrorist groups to operate. Leaders of these countries, like Iran's leader, have already threatened with weapons of mass destruction. Also, the Middle East is a global supplier of oil and natural gas, losing these resources would effect the world greatly.
