  • As summer vacation begins, 17 girls at Gloucester High School are expecting babies — more than four times the number of pregnancies the 1,200-student school had last year. [...] All it took was a few simple questions before nearly half the expecting students, none older than 16, confessed to making a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together. Then the story got worse. “We found out one of the fathers is a 24-year-old homeless guy,” the principal says, shaking his head.

  • June. Taliban leader Mullah Bakht Mohammed claimed "The latest proof that he is alive is that he sent me a letter of condolences after the martyrdom of my brother. He advised me to follow my brother's path."

      This might be very reliable, but to an extent, because: Firstly, this is a primary source, but we are not aware whether what this Taliban leader states is true or not. Secondly, the Taliban leader's brother had sacrificed while fighting for their cause. His brother might have been in the Al Qaeda movement and Osama encourages this Taliban leader, Mullah Bakht Mohammed to follow his brother's footsteps by becoming a member of the Al Qaeda.

      2009 and 2010 state recent reports of Osama's whereabouts, but might not be very reliable since every source, be it news, reports, primary sources, etc state different locations of Osama's hiding, while some other state he must have died of natural causes, murder or kidney problems.
