Officials say two female suicide bombers killed more than people at a refugee camp in northeastern Nigeria, where the terrorist group Boko Haram has been wreaking havoc for years.  Satomi Ahmad of the State Emergency Management Agency says that 78 people are injured.  The suicide bombers infiltrated a camp for internally displaced people in Dikwa, north of the capital of Borno state.  Since being largely beaten down as a ground fighting force last year, Boko Haram has reverted to hit and run attacks and suicide bombings, often using women and girls to carry them out.

France's Lower House voted overwhelmingly for controversial security changes in the wake of last year's terrorist attacks.  The package would enshrine emergency powers in the constitution and allows terror convicts to be stripped of their citizenship.  But the approval was far short of the two-thirds majority the package will require for final passage, showing that the government has a few more hurdles to clear before this wish list becomes law.

Tara Nettleton Sharrouf has reportedly died in Syria last year after complications from an appendicitis operation, leaving her five children stranded in land held by Islamic State terrorists.  Tara Sharrouf's mother Karen Nettleton is reportedly devastated by the news, and is calling on the government to redouble efforts to bring Tara's five children and one grandchild back to Australia.  Tara Sharrouf converted to Islam and followed her boxer husband Khaled Sharrouf to Syria in 2014 when he joined Islamic State.  

Turkey's coast guard released video of a migrant being rescued from the cold Aegean Sea, clinging to the bow of a boat as it sinks.  He was one of 34 people on the boat, trying to cross from from Turkey to the Greek isle of Lesbos - 27 died and six were missing.  More than 400 have drowned just in the Aegean, just this year.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is lashing out at his ally the US over Washington's support for Syria's main Kurdish group, claiming it formed a "pool of blood" in the region.  Erdogan claims the Democratic Union Party (PYD) is a terrorist offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which is recognized as a banned group by many Western governments.  But the US counts on the PYD's military units called the YPG - one of the most-effective fighting forces against Islamic State - to keep pressure on terrorists in Syria and Iraq.  Erdogan fears Western support will fuel Kurdish separatism, and demanded to know if America is "on our side or the side of the terrorist PYD and PKK organization".

North Korea reportedly executed its military chief of staff, according to reports from the South.  Ri Yong-Gil was found guilty of corruption and allegedly formed his own political faction within the extremely repressive Cold War relic state.  The reports come at a time of heightened tensions on the Korean Peninsula, with Pyongyang carrying out nuclear weapon and ballistic missile tests within the pat few weeks.

Police in Italy arrested a Roman Catholic official in an alleged Ponzi scheme that drained 30 Million Euros from investors, most of them elderly French and Belgians.  Argentinian Monsignor Patrizio Benvenuti boasted of Vatican connections and hosted dinners for hundreds of alleged marks in a prestigious Rome palazzo and a Tuscan villa.  Prosecutors said they started to unravel the scheme when a nun who worked as Benvenuti's housekeeper came to them with records of a trust fund in her name that she never opened, through which hundreds of Euros were laundered.

A court in Israel awarded a former domestic employee of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's wife about AU$60,000 as compensation for mistreatment and abuse.  It's a major embarrassment for the PM and his family, who have been accused of treating their workers poorly in the past.  The judge in her ruling noted that Sara Netanyahu subjected workers to "irrational demands, insults, humiliation and outbursts of rage".  The plaintiff Meni Naftali  said, "David has beaten Goliath".
