Turkish attack a reminder of Cold War dynamics

(CNN) – The suicide bombing in Ankara Friday is a reminder to counterterrorism agencies that it’s not just jihadist groups who threaten Western governments and their interests overseas. Pockets of the extreme left and extreme right still consider political violence legitimate — among them the Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party in Turkey. Turkish authorities have blamed the U.S. Embassy attack on the group, better known as DHKP-C, and are in the process of identifying the bomber. Suicide bomber strikes outside U.S. Embasssy in Ankara Analysts say it is likely the attack had two aims — to embarrass the Turkish government and to demonstrate...

South Korea satellite ‘communicating’

South Korea says the satellite launched on Wednesday has made contact with a ground station and is sending data. The launch was South Korea’s first successful attempt to put a satellite into orbit using its own rocket. The satellite, which collects climate data, made contact at 03:27 on Thursday (18:27 GMT on Wednesday). The launch – which came weeks after North Korea successfully put its own satellite in orbit – had been delayed twice due to technical reasons. President Lee Myung-bak praised what he called a “first step towards opening an era of space science in earnest”. “We should make this an opportunity to elevate national power...

Nigeria qualified for the next round of the Africa Cup of Nations after two late Victor Moses penalties gave them a crucial win against Ethiopia.

Moses, 22, opened the scoring from the spot after he was fouled by defender Alula Girma with 10 minutes to go. The winger earned the second penalty when he was brought down by goalkeeper Sisay Bancha, who was sent off. If Moses had not scored they would have lost a quarter-final spot to Zambia due to a worse disciplinary record. Holders Zambia and Nigeria had come into their last round of group fixtures level on points and with an equal goal difference after they drew both their opening games 1-1. Before Moses’s intervention, his side had been set for an early trip home as they had collected more yellow cards. But instead it was Zambia...
