    Peace Lovers at it again

    Like we need these feckers in the EU

    Three killed at Turkish publisher

    Three people have been killed at a publishing house in Turkey that produced bibles, in an apparent attack on the country's Christian minority.

    The victims were discovered at the Zirve publishing house in the eastern city of Malatya.

    They were bound hand and foot and their throats had been slit, officials said.

    Nationalists had protested at the publishing house in the past, accusing it of involvement in missionary activities, local media reported.

    There is a rising wave of nationalist feeling in Turkey,with Christian minorities complaining of pressure and harassment.

    In the most serious incident so far, a Catholic priest was killed last year by a teenage nationalist gunman as he prayed in his church.
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

        A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife", after he was caught having sex with the animal.
        The goat's owner, Mr Alifi, said he surprised the man with his goat and took him to a council of elders.

        They ordered the man, Mr Tombe, to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50) to Mr Alifi.

        "We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together," Mr Alifi said.

        Mr Alifi, of Hai Malakal in Upper Nile State, told the Juba Post newspaper that he heard a loud noise around midnight on 13 February and immediately rushed outside to find Mr Tombe with his goat.

        "When I asked him: 'What are you doing there?', he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up."

        Mr Alifi then called elders to decide how to deal with the case.

        "They said I should not take him to the police, but rather let him pay a dowry for my goat because he used it as his wife
