Ranger held over gorilla killings

A senior wildlife park official in Democratic Republic of Congo has been arrested amid claims that he organised the killing of rare mountain gorillas.Ten gorillas were killed in 2007 in the Virunga National Park, a Unesco world heritage site.
The park is in a volatile region where rebels have set up a base.

I think its wrong to just kill gorillas they shouldnt be killing gorillas when they werent doing anything and they have there own family, and life they want to live.

Gazans make new border wall hole

BBC news
Palestinians have used a bulldozer to make a new hole in the border wall between Gaza and Egypt, allowing scores of people to pass through.
