Famous Author Tom Clancy Dead at 66
Best-selling thriller author Tom Clancy has died at the age of 66, according to his publisher.
While the president of G.P. Putnam’s Sons did not indicate a cause of death, The Baltimore Sun reports that Clancy died “after a brief illness at the Johns Hopkins Hospital,” in Baltimore.
Clancy has been credited for expanding the thriller genre so that, according to Pulitzer Prize–winning film critic Stephen C. Hunter, “a lot of [writers] were able to publish such books who had previously been unable to do so.”
Seventeen of Clancy’s adrenaline-packed thriller novels were No. 1 New York Times best-sellers, and four of those were adapted into Hollywood feature films.
Clancy’s most popular character, Jack Ryan, has been portrayed by Alec Baldwin (Red October), Harrison Ford (Patriot Games,Clear and Present Danger), and Ben Affleck (The Sum of All Fears), the former of whom released a statement this morning upon learning of Clancy’s death.

Oprah Winfrey says she'll leave this earth as a 'never married' woman
When asked if she would leave earth as a “never-married” woman, Oprah made her feelings very clear. “Yes,” she told Access Hollywood. “Yeah, I think that’s my final answer.”
“I think that it’s interesting that you would ask it because I thought about it again at Tina Turner’s wedding. Because Tina was like, ‘Oprah, you need to do this. You need to do it.’ I was just thinking, ‘Well, OK, would things really be different?’ And no, I don’t think so. If you ever interviewed him (Stedman), he would tell you that had we married, we would not be together today, because he’s a traditional man and this is a very untraditional relationship.”Oprah also explained that she couldn’t be a wife because the word holds responsibilities she doesn’t feel capable of handling.

Boko Haram linked to group behind Kenya mall attack • US report says Nigerian sect may have anti-aircraft missiles
A report by a committee of the United States House of Representatives has linked the fundamentalist Islamist sect, Boko Haram, to al Shabaab, the terror group that carried out the September 21 Westgate Mall attack in Nairobi, Kenya.
Al-Shabaab is a Somali-based group whose members are said to be highly proficient in suicide bombing.
The report dated September 13, 2013 and entitled, ‘Boko Haram: Growing Threat to the US Homeland’, also acknowledged the growing relationship between the Nigerian sect and another terror group, the Al Qaeda in the land of the Islamic Maghreb.
The 39-page report noted that “while there is no evidence that Al Qaeda’s core in Afghanistan and Pakistan commands Boko Haram’s operations, it is clear from the words of multiple US officials and media reports that Boko Haram is supportive of, and supported by Al Qaeda networks such as AQIM.”
It noted that “it is the unity of ideology and mutual hatred for the West between the Al Qaeda networks that exposes the danger Boko Haram poses to the U.S Homeland.”
The committee described Boko Haram as a “hardened and sophisticated terror network” that required multiple simultaenous local and international efforts to enhance the capacity and capability of the Nigerian Police and the military to curtail its activities.
It said there was an urgent need by the US to designate the sect as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation because it has shown no signs of ending its aggression against the government of Nigeria and the Western world.

Bomb scare at Nigeria House in New York
There was a bomb scare at the Nigeria Permanent Mission House in New York on Thursday.
Panic engulfed the atmosphere at the house located on Second Avenue, 44th Street when the bomb alarm was raised by security agencies.
People scamper for safety as the American Police cordoned-off the place to conduct a search which lasted for about 30 minutes.
A source said the alarm came after the police discovered a bag carelessly dropped close to the Kudirat Abiola corner of the house. The strange bag was suspected to be containing an explosive.
Although the content of the bag was not disclosed, normalcy, however, returned after the environs were cleared and the security agencies asked people to resume their daily business.
