BBC NEWS | UK | UK Politics | Former minister Mo Mowlam dies

Very sad month for UK politics. First with the surprising death of Robin Cook and now with Mo Mowlam passing away. Both strong proponants of peace who left a mark on world history.

This week we also saw the shocking murder of Frère Roger Shutz, who had dedicated his life to reconciliation between churches.

It’s difficult to understand why the good ones are taken, while the evil bastards remain.

BERLIN (Reuters) - An “electronic nappy” used to monitor wetness sparked a bomb alert in a German post office when it arrived in a parcel ticking suspiciously, police in the southwestern city of Heilbronn said Thursday.

“They suspected it was a bomb so they put the package into an empty room and called the police,” said a police spokesman. “It was supposed to respond to wetness with bleeping sounds but this one ticked.”

Two squad cars rushed to the scene and immediately contacted the sender. Police gave the all clear after they contacted the woman who told them the intercepted package contained only a malfunctioning diaper.
