Four British men inspired by a Yemen-based Islamist preacher have admitted planning to bomb the London Stock Exchange. The men, British nationals of Bangladeshi and Pakistani origin, were part of a group of nine who pleaded guilty to a number of terrorism offences. They were arrested in December 2010 before they could carry out the attack.

Four South African men have been sentenced to 18 years in prison for stabbing and stoning to death more than four years ago a 19-year-old woman, Zoliswa Nkonyana. Karen Allen reports.
4年多前,4名南非男子刺杀19岁的女子Zoliswa Nkonyana,并用石头将她砸死,4名凶手因此被判18年徒刑。Karen Allen报道。
Ms Nkonyana, who was openly gay, was stoned and stabbed nine times just a short distance from her home in the township of Khayelitsha, just outside Cape Town. The magistrate said the clear motive for the killing was hatred and homophobia, and Wednesday's sentence was meant to send out a signal that violence based on sexual orientation would not be tolerated. Although South Africa has one of the most liberal constitutions in the world, rights groups say violent attacks and so-called "corrective rape" targeting lesbians are on the increase.
