Two people have been killed by an explosion at a rally in Ukraine’s second-biggest city Kharkiv to mark the first anniversary of the uprising that toppled the country’s pro-Russian president. David Stern reports.
An amateur video shows a perception of a few hundred people marching down one of Kharkiv’s main streets and then the blast. The crowd scatters1 terrified. A man rives in agony on the ground. Another lies lifeless on the snow. There’ve been other bomb attacks and explosions in Kharkiv in recent weeks, but this was the deadliest so far. Many fear the fighting is now spreading to this strategic city, which is just a half hour's drive from the Russian border.

Eyewitnesses6 say the young girl who may have been less than 10 years old had explosives strapped to her body. At a checkpoint near a market in Potiskum town the explosives were detonated.

It’s not clear whether such explosions were triggered remotely or whether those wearing devices were brainwashed or even aware of what they were doing. The jihadist group has been trying to seize territory to create an Islamic State in northern Nigeria. Some of the towns and villages it held have been retaken by the military.
The US Secretary of Homeland Security says he’s taking seriously of threat by the Somali Islamist group, Al Shabaab, to attack shopping centers in America, Canada and Britain. Jeh Johnson said there had been an evolution of the threat posed by jihadist groups.
“We are in a new phase in the global terrorist threat right now which involves core Al-Qaeda, but now other groups, the ISIL group being the most prominent example of that, with very effective use of video, publications, social media and the internet that have the ability to reach into communities, to reach into homelands and inspire independent actors to commit acts of violence. We’ve got to be vigilant8.”
