Good Morning, Australia! – A big breakthrough on limiting Iran’s nuclear program – Terrorists attack a university, killing more than 70 people – AFP raids the home of an alleged prolific hacker – And a lot more in your CareerSpot World News Briefs:

There is good news in the Iran Nuclear Talks going on in Lausanne, Switzerland.  The six world powers and Iran have come to agreement on a framework to negotiate a larger deal to get Tehran to scale back its nuclear program.  EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini says the parties have achieved a “decisive step”.  US Secretary of State John Kerry tweeted there was a deal “to resolve major issues on nuclear program. Back to work soon on a final deal.”  The deal does not immediately lift all economic sanctions on Iran, but rather removes them piece by piece as Iran complies with demands to limit uranium enrichment.

Al Shabaab militants specifically targeted Christians in an attack on a university campus in northeastern Kenya.  They killed at least 70 people and took several hostages.  Hundreds of students required rescue and scores are injured.  Kenya’s Interior Minister says four of the attackers had been killed, and security operations were ongoing.  Al Shabaab has links to al Qaeda, and the attack on Garissa University College is apparently revenge for Kenya’s involvement in fighting terrorism in Somalia.

Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) attacked a jail in Yemen, freeing 300 inmates – many of whom are undoubtedly members of the terrorist group.  This has been a frequent tactic of the larger al Qaeda organization used in Iraq and in parts of Africa.  Meanwhile, the Shiite Houthi Rebels are taking control of more of the port city of Aden despite the bombing raids by the Saudi-led coalition.

Federal Police raided the Queensland home of a notorious teenage hacker who goes by the name Abdilo, and ordered him to surrender his passwords.  Abdilo has frequently bragged of his exploits, including the largest hack in Australian history into the travel insurance company Aussie Travel Cover.  He is also believed to be responsible for attacks on:  The Nuclear Science and Technology Organization (ANSTO); the University of Sydney; and other local government sites. 

The Immigration Department strikes again – a Townsville, Queensland nurse who has been helping people in Australia for eight years might be deported back to the Philippines because her ten-year old son has been diagnosed as autistic.  The Immigration Department rejected Maria Sevilla’s request for a skilled working visa because little Tyrone “might” become a burden on the taxpayer in later life. 

Andreas Lubitz researched methods of committing suicide, as well as the security of cockpit doors on Airbus A320 passenger planes.  Records of these searches were found in the browser history of a tablet wound in Lubitz’s flat near Dusseldorf.  The co-pilot of Germanwings Flight 9525 is suspected of locking the pilot out of the flight deck and flying the plane into the side of one of the French Alps, killing 150 people including two Australians. 

Searchers found the second black box flight recorder from the crash scene of Germanwings Flight 9525.  This will hopefully assist investigators to determine how Andreas Lubitz put the plane into its fatal descent and prevented the captain from re-entering the cockpit.  The flight data recorder tracks hundreds of performance statistics from the plane, including its position, speed, altitude and direction.  The Cockpit Voice Recorder has already been recovered, and indicates that the pilot was unsuccessfully trying to get past the locked cockpit door while Lubitz is heard calmly breathing until the crash that obliterated the plane.
