The moment Palestinian disguised as a reporter stabbed an Israeli soldier before being shot dead (photos)

This is the terrifying moment a Palestinian who disguised himself as a member of the press by dressing as a news photographer attacked an Israeli soldier in the West Bank settlement of Kiryat Arba. Because of the way he was dressed, the man was allowed to approach the soldier who was standing close to an armored truck alone. There, he brought out a knife and attacked the soldier. Other soldiers came to his rescue and tried to subdue the attacker. When the attacker's guise was uncovered, he was shot dead by Israeli troops. See the dramatic photos after the cut...

Tourists descend on the Nevada brothel where Lamar Odom was found unconscious

Tourists flocked to the Love Ranch Vegas in desolate Crystal, where the 35-year-old ex-Los Angeles Laker and reality television star was found unconscious following a four-day escapade that reportedly involved drugs, hookers and sexual enhancement aids.

 Media from as far away as Britain were in Crystal as well. Journalists stood in the establishment's dirt parking lot in a light morning rain. Many had missed out on a tour Wednesday by brothel managers and clamored for new leads outside the roadside sex site.
One reporter for a U.S. paper said his editors authorized him to offer $2,000 for photographs of the two legal prostitutes who found Odom unconscious in a bed at the site. The brothel declined the offer.

Mum spends £20k turning toddler into beauty queen

A 23 year single mum, Jas Sullivan, has splurged over $30,000 transforming her 22-month-old daughter into a beauty queen. She dresses her 22 month old,  Minnie-Beau in $20,000 worth of designer clothes and even makes her wear hair extensions and full make-up for pageants.



Her flamboyant beauty pageant costumes including a corset-style dress and a ruffled two-piece bikini and the tot is dripping in over $2,000 worth of gold jewellery.

Now Minnie-Beau is making a name for herself on the beauty pageant scene with her trademark pout setting her apart from her rivals.
 Jas said:
 “I’ve been accused of sexualising my daughter but the people that say that are the ones with the sick thoughts – that doesn’t even enter my mind.
“It’s just like a dance competition – you get marked on your routines, your outfits and your make up too.
“I’ve spent probably around the price mark of twenty thousand pounds on Minnie and she’s worth every penny.
Minnie took part in her first competition when she was just 18 months old after Jas saw a TV show about pageants.

And the youngster dazzled the judges with her hair and eyelash extensions and £600 worth of outfits.

Her make-up regime included blusher, eyebrow pencil and coral lipstick and her tiny nails were painted a brilliant white.



Mother of 2 & plank seller both electrocuted almost at the same time in Lagos

Two residents, Bashirat Rauf, a mother of two and Sodiq Saka of Araromi Quarters in Ketu, Lagos State, were both electrocuted when fire engulfed a school nearby.

Bashirat Rauf was said to have rushed out of her apartment when she saw fire burning from a cable in a nearby school. She reportedly decided to quickly pick her children who were playing outside in order to avoid being engulfed by the fire unfortunately, she got electrocuted in the process.
Meanwhile, 33 year old plank seller,Sodiq Saka, was said to have gone to fetch water to put off the fire in the school premises when he saw flame coming out of their compound and he got electrocuted in the process.
According to Mr. Saka Imam, The father of late Sodiq,
“As a Muslim, I have accepted my fate. There is nothing I could do to bring the dead back to life. “We were to gather on that fateful day. He was the one who slaughtered the Sallah ram he bought for me.
After that, he told me he was coming to get something down the street, only for someone to come and call me that my son had been electrocuted in the neighbourhood.
I was told by some witnesses at the scene of the incident that my son only went into the compound of the school premises where it was burning to assist the owner of the house, only for him to be electrocuted by the falling cable. Sodiq was said to had stepped on the naked cable while trying to put off the fire. What else do I do, I cannot give birth to a grown up boy like him.”
The Secretary of Araromi Community Development Association, Mr.Wahab Awoyemi , described the incident as a very sad one for the residents of Araromi community.
He said:
“It was very sad for us to loose two persons in a day.The woman was in her apartment that fateful day preparing meal, when information got to her that the school near their apartment was burning. She rushed out to pick her children who were playing outside their compound and stepped on the naked cable. She was electrocuted immediately. 
“We made serious effort to rescue both of them. We went to Eko distribution company office at mile 12 to switch off the light. 
The person who was supposed to switch off the power was said not be on duty. But with providence, they took off the power. It was after then we were able to remove them from the burning cable and took them to a private hospital in the community where they were later pronounced dead by the medical doctor of the hospital.” 
“Before the ugly incident, we called on Eko Disco officials to come fix the cable before it will kill someone in the community. They did not come until two lives were consumed. We want government to come to our aid in the community.
