ISTANBUL, June 15 (Reuters) -
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Police were investigating the blast, which occurred near a gendarme paramilitary police station in a suburb of Istanbul, CNN Turk said. It said the blast could have been caused by a percussion bomb, which makes a loud noise but causes little damage.
CNN Turk said the five injured, who had come to watch Turkey’s national soccer side play the Czech Republic in Euro 2008, were only slightly injured and were treated on their feet.”

“Australian ordered to face re-trial on terror-related changes”
1 hour, 17 minutes ago
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “SYDNEY (AFP) - An Australian terrorism suspect whose conviction was overturned in 2006 was ordered to stand trial again Monday for allegedly receiving money from Al-Qaeda and possessing a false passport.
The Victoria state Court of Appeal ordered the retrial after prosecutors said they had new evidence about former Melbourne taxi driver Jack Thomas’ alleged links to Al-Qaeda.
Thomas, a Muslim convert, received a five-year jail term in February 2006 after being convicted of accepting 3,500 US dollars in cash and an air ticket home from a senior Al-Qaeda operative in Pakistan.”
