Pipeline carrying natural gas to Israel, Jordan explodes in Egypt

A pipeline that sends natural gas from Egypt to Israel and Jordan exploded early Wednesday morning, prompting the shutoff of outbound gas.
Ayman Jahin, general manager of Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company, confirmed that gas has been switched off to Israel and Jordan.
The cause of the blast was not immediately known, and no injuries were immediately reported.
The explosion took place in a suburb of the Egyptian Sinai town of El Arish. Jahin said a committee traveled from Cairo to El Arish on Wednesday to assess the damage.
In February, a gas pipeline in El Arish that sent natural gas to Jordan was set on fire, officials said.
The state-run MENA news agency said the February incident was a suspected terrorist attack.
It was not clear whether that incident was connected to the political unrest in Egypt. Or is the world still experienced another crisis in Egypt?

obinna Okpokiri, another corps member who was killed in the post election violence in Bauchi

Obinna like Ukeoma was dragged out of his corpers lodge, beaten, butchered and set on fire on Sunday April 17th by those bastards CPC fanatics in Bauchi State. Can you wish this kind of death on your worst enemy? Can you even begin to imagine the terror these corpers would have faced minutes before their brutal murders? To think Obinna left London to do his NYSC in Nigeria.

These young men can't die in vain. Their killers must be brought to book. Knowing the way our government operate in matters like this, their deaths will probably be swept under the carpet...just like others in the past...so how do we ensure that this doesn't happen this time?

This is not enough but there is a petition for the immediate withdrawal of Youth Corps members from trouble-prone states. 
What else can we do as youths of this country?
