30 September 2010, BBCNews.com
This article is about a holy site in India that had been divided into two parts Hindus and Muslims. A major verdict in India dicided to split the Holy sites into two parts. In 1992 the Hindus had distroyed of a Mosque and that led into riot that had cause more than 2,000 deaths. It was one of the worst religious violence. I choosed this article, because anything that involves riots interest me more then most topics. The article is connected to what we studied in class, because it took place in India and we studied somethings about India like there early Civilizations.

Missing Iraqi antiquities located in PM Maliki's office, By Doesn't say the author
20 September 2010 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-11372473
This article is about Iraqi antiquities that have been returned to the Iraqi National Museum after being found in boxes in Prime Minister Maliki's office. The Iraqi artefacts have been stolen from Iraq a lot of time and later found in the US. There were more than 600 Iraqi antiquities that were stolen and some of the artefacts were 7,000 years of civilisation in Mesopotamia. All of the 638 artefacts were found in boxes in storage in the offices of Prime Minister Maliki. I choose this article because I had no idea about the artefacts that were stolen and I found that interesting. This article is related to the unit that we're studying in class, because today we learned about Mesopotamia in class and some of the artefacts that were stolen from Mesopotamia which is located in Iraq, between two rivers making it a Early River Civilization.
