Backpacker Mia Ayliffe-Chung stabbed to death at Australian hostel

A 21-year-old British woman has died after she was stabbed during an attack at a backpackers' hostel in Australia. The victim has been named as Mia Ayliffe-Chung, from Derbyshire. A 30-year-old British man - named locally as Tom Jackson from Cheshire - was severely injured in the attack in Home Hill, Queensland, and is in a critical condition.

A French suspect, 29, who allegedly said the Arabic phrase "Allahu akbar" during the attack, was arrested. Police are treating the incident as a murder case, not a terror attack. They are investigating a number of possible motivations, including drugs misuse, mental health issues and extremism.

Homeless on D.C. streets for 17 years, woman proves Social Security owes her $100,000

"She had all the paperwork there, neatly organized, in order. She was right all along. They did owe her all that money," Turner said.

When we got back, the salesman told me they had dropped it for Blackberry (QNX) for the new models.
Seems there is intelligence on Earth!
