Terrorists fired automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades into a mosque in Egypt's northern Sinai, killing at least 235 people and wounding more than a hundred more.  Eyewitnesses told security forces that the men, who arrived in off-road vehicles, targeted the al-Rawdah mosque in the town of Al Rawdah where security forces, their families, and their supporters were marking Friday prayers - although other witnesses said workers from a local salt plant were part of that crowd as well.  Egypt has been fighting an Islamist insurgency in Sinai for three years, and it seems to keep getting worse.  Nevertheless, Egyptian President Al-Sisi is vowing to respond with an "iron fist"

One woman was slightly injured fleeing what turned out to be a false alarm in London's Oxford Circus.  The panic began just after 4:30 PM local time with reports of gunshots, which brought a full anti-terror response from police.  Within minutes, both Oxford Street and Bond Street underground stations were locked down and Scotland Yard began issuing alerts on Twitter, while cops searched for gunmen who did not exist.  Far-right arse-clowns immediately began pointing fingers and the tabloid media went into full apocalypse mode.

A tiger escaped from a circus in Paris and roamed the streets of the French capital before police shot and killed it near the Eiffel Tower, announcing that the danger was over with a tiger emoticon on a tweet.  Several Paris residents were angry that the tiger was killed.  It had been on the loose "for some time" according to police, but it didn't hurt anyone.

Disgraced South African Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius had his prison sentence more than doubled to 13 years and five months.  The country's supreme court of appeal (SCA) agreed with the prosecutors who argued the earlier five-year sentence was "shockingly lenient".  Pistorius is jailed for the Valentine's Day 2013 shooting death of his partner Reeva Steenkamp.  Initially, he served just a few months in prison having been convicted of "accidentally" killing her - setting off widespread criticism he was being given preferential treatment because he is a wealthy, white celebrity.  Prosecutors have since upped the conviction to murder and now have succeeded in extended the prison term.

Emmerson Mnangagwa has been sworn in as Zimbabwe's interim president, promising "free and fair elections" on schedule next year, and that the "people's voice would be heard".  Officially, there will be no retaliation against deposed former ruler Robert Mugabe, who pretty much ran the show from 1980 until last week, but human rights activists expressed concern over reports of attacks on the family and allies of ex-first lady Grace Mugabe.  But the new government's slogans such as "Dawn of a new era", "No to retribution", and "Let bygones be bygones" might as well apply to Mugabe's former security chief-turned-replacement Mnangagwa, who is suspected of engineering the deaths of 20,000 people in crackdowns on the opposition in the 1980s.

Argentina's President Mauricio Macri is ordering an investigation into the disappearance of the missing navy submarine ARA San Juan.  Relatives of the 44 crew members have largely given up hope with word of an explosion detected near the area where the sub was last detected.  The sad situation is turning into a nascent political crisis, with opposition lawmakers decrying the lack of initial information when the sub went missing around 15 November, and the Navy going to a judge to open its own independent investigation and reportedly arguing with the Macri administration.

Some refugees say they were beaten by Papua New Guinea police as they were taken out of the decommissioned Manus Island detention center.  PNG says all 328 men have been cleared out "peacefully", but that is under dispute.  "The refugees are saying that they are leaving the prison camp because police are using violence and very angry," said asylum seeker and journalist Behrouz Boochani.  The United Nations' refugee agency said it had received reports several men had been severely injured:  "The situation still unfolding on Manus Island presents a grave risk of further deterioration, and of further damage to extremely vulnerable human beings," said Thomas Albrecht of the United Nations High Commission on Refugees.
