London Olympics Photos of the Day: Usain Bolt and Andy Murray

Sprint phenomenon Usain Bolt London Olympics golden victory as he clearly won the 100 metres final in 9.63 seconds Sunday night August 5, 2012. He set a new Olympic record and the second fastest in history.

Andy Murray made Olympic history by beating Roger Federer in three straight sets 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 to the golden Olympic title.

And seemingly just like that, he had done it. Some 76 years since a British man had won a title at Wimbledon, and 100 since any member of Team GB had won a singles gold in tennis at the Olympics, Andrew Murray became a champion, sinking to his feet as the rest of the country rose on theirs to salute him.

Image
This is a record of all terrorist attacks in America and in countries with American interests and on American Embassies and citizens abroad. Osama bin Laden did not create the demons of terrorism. He is only one of the most diabolical and destructive of them all. The devil is the author of Terrorism in his capacity as the Son of Perdition and the father of chaos. It is very important to clarify these issues for the benefit of those who are ignorant and naive and have been jumping to erroneous conclusions. Terrorist Attacks (within the United States or against Americans abroad) 1920: septa. 16, New York City: TNT bomb planted in unattended horse-drawn wagon exploded on Wall Street opposite House of Morgan , killing 35 people and injuring hundreds more.

At a time when the Nigerian air is filled with the festivities of Eid al-Adha, the feast of sacrifice, which in a supposed way should involve the slaughter sheep and cattle, and not the near-sacrifice of a son, as in Abraham’s case, but the reverse is the case.Human slaughter is in our face on a daily basis in Nigeria due to the Boko Haram wrath.
