Melbourne, July 26 : Organisers of next month’s Beijing Olympics have received a fresh threat from the separatist Turkestan Islamic Party (TIP), which has already claimed responsibility for the May bus bombing in Shanghai.

A group monitoring terror threats on the Internet was quoted by The Herald as saying that TIP Commander Seyfullah has claimed credit for several attacks in China less than a fortnight out from the start of the Olympics.

Seyfullah says in a video clip monitored by the Washington-based Intel Center that more attacks will take place from Yunnan, the base of TIP.

London, July 26: Rosemarie, the wife of Austrian incest fiend Josef Fritzl, has lost almost 3st since her evil husband’s arrest in April.

The 69-year-old has returned to her home city after a rift with daughter Elisabeth, who was kept as a sex slave for 24 years in the town of Amstetten by Fritzl, 73.

Referring to her weight loss, Rosemarie’s pals said that she has become “a shadow of her former self”.

Friends are worried for her health after she was seen shopping this week in Linz, Austria — the city where she lived until she was 17.

“She has very little money. When she goes shopping, she never spends more than four or five pounds for the basics,” The Sun quoted her, as saying.

Melbourne, July 26: Employees Down Under are being given so much work these days that it is now eating away into a large chunk of their lifestyles, according to the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU).

The union survey, which took in the views of more than 2800 Australian workers, found more than half reported that they often had too much work for one person to manage.

A third said their supervisors expected them to put work ahead of personal life, and 75 per cent said they would be happy to take a pay cut to work fewer hours.

The study was funded by the Australian Research Council and the South Australian, WA and Victorian Governments.

Sydney - Passengers aboard a Qantas jumbo jet that made an emergency landing in Manila told Saturday they feared for their lives after a gash appeared in the fuselage and they plummeted towards the South China Sea 9,000 metres below.

David Saunders, speaking on his return to Melbourne, said he hugged his tearful girlfriend as debris flew about the cabin and their 17-year-old Boeing 747-438 hurtled seaward on Friday.

"I heard an enormous explosion, things went quiet, the cabin instantly lost pressure and the plane just started to dive," he told Australia's AAP news agency. "I just grabbed my passport out of my bag and put it in my pocket so that if my body was found they could identify it quicker."
