First Degree Murder Committed by Doctor

Dr. Kermit Gosnell of Philadelphia was found guilty of multiple cases of murder. He's supposed to be a gynecologist and obstetrition, but was not certified for either. Gosnell has given many abortions, but it has been past the 20th week, and he aborted the live babies by cutting the unbilical cord with a scissors. Gosnell could get the death penalty. He is also guilty of killing a 41 year old mother, because he gave her too much anesthetic. Everyone at Gosnell's practice were frauds, and they are pleading guilty as well because they gave out medicine and falsely diagnosed people.

New Dinosaur Bones Found in Canada

Researchers uncovered a new species of dinosaur about the size of a big dog with a helmet like head in Canada. They were able to identify if because of previous fossils found. It most likely used its 2-inch skull to headbutt other dinosaurs in defence, and it was a vegitarian. Paleontologists say it waas about six feet long and weighed, on average, almost ninety pounds. Not many of these kind of dinosaurs have been found, so it was hard to identify it. Paleontologists think that most little dinosaurs' bones decompose, so they are hard to identify.

The Price for Another Kid

An American woman in Britain with three adopted kids wanted to adopt another, but was denied. She then bought sperm from a company in Denmark to artifially inseminate her fourteen year old daughter. After many failed attempts, the daughter finally got pregnant, only to have a miscarriage. The mother wanted to have a fourth child to raise herself. The daughter, "A," said she thought, "If I do this... maybe she will love me more." The young girl ended up giving birth at the age of seventeen to a boy. The hospital nurses noticced that the mother was acting very strange, not letting the girl breastfeed, and officers were called to investigate. The children were taken in to foster care and the mother is spending five years in jail.

11 People Kidnapped by Taliban

On Monday, April 22nd, a helicopter carrying engineers near Kabul, Afghanistan had to land unexpectedly due to poor weather, and the people got kidnapped by the Taliban. The engineers were supposed to go to an American base, but had to land in Logar Province, which is run by the Taliban. An official in Afghanistan says, "It's a lot of people to take hostage...It gives the Taliban bargaining chips." People are worried that the engineers might be taken to Pakistan, which was about 20 minutes from Logar Province. The Taliban sent a message to media saying, "US-NATO Chopper falls into hands of Mujahedeen, all passangers detained." They have taken full responsibility of the kidnapping but there has been no word on what will happen to the engineers.

Monkeys Learning to Talk?

Scientists have found a species of monkey in Ethiopia that make noises similar to the vocals of humans. Geladas, a close specias to the baboon, make a noise that sounds something like a yodel and a baby babbling. They supposedly share the same speaking techniques as humans do, and scientists are thinking they are revealing more about human speech origins. Most monkeys don't have the speaking structure as humans, even though they have the same facial movements as we do. Doctor Thore Bergman says "These primates can do the complex mouth movement and vocalise at the same time."

Paranormal Activity 13: Prank or Real Thing?

After play practice on April 1st, Kelly Leonard was getting ready to leave school when she heard a noise down the hall from her locker. Taking advice from all the scary movies she has seen, she went to the noise, which turned out to be Courtney Demmin shutting her locker. They then heard another noise coming from the lunch room. They went in there because they were hungry and wanted cheese fries, but saw something that made them lose their appetite. Standing in the corner of the lunch room, was a little girl holding a human head. The little girl crawled towards them....
The next morning, no one knows where the two girls went. As usual, the cameras are checked, but strangly, nothing unusual was shown on them. To this day, the girls have not shown up and no one knows where they are....
