  A five metre wide chasm has mysteriously opened in a busy road.
  The enormous crevice tore through the ground late last night, causing traffic chaos in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.
  Miraculously no one was killed, although one truck was overturned by the force of the collapse.
  Officials have no explanation for why the giant hole has appeared but confirmed they were looking into it.

• Churches Attacked in Malaysian ‘Allah’ Dispute - NYTimes.com

  "KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Three Christian churches were attacked with firebombs Friday as tensions rose in a dispute over whether Christians could use the word “Allah” in this largely Muslim nation. Skip to next paragraph Enlarge This Image Mark Baker/Associated Press Muslims gathered outside a mosque in Kuala Lumpur, Friday to protest a recent court ruling allowing Christians to use the word Allah. Later in the day, small crowds rallied outside two major mosques in the capital, in a growing protest over a court ruling that overturned a government ban on the use of “Allah” by Roman Catholics as a translation for God. The government has appealed that ruling, insisting that the ban should remain in force, and made no move to bar the unsanctioned rallies, as it commonly does."
