What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Article doesn't say why they weren't exploded, only that a wall was rebuilt to hide them.

"We bomb the mosque, radicalise the moderates, bring it all on!"

(Sarcastically) "Oh yeah I like it that, we take out a bunch of Muslims because they're the real enemy! Once we've done that why don't we truck-bomb a kebab shop, fly a jumbo jet into Wadge's mum, and staple a pig to our foreheads!"
