Submitted by ub on

NY GOVERNOR ANDREW M. CUOMO LIFTS INDIANA TRAVEL BAN.“After reviewing the amendments made to Indiana’s state law and consulting with LGBT advocacy groups here in New York, I believe the changes enacted by the Indiana Executive and Legislature should prevent the Religious Freedom Restoration Act from being used to discriminate against gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender citizens and travelers. As a result, I am lifting New York's ban against state funded and state sponsored travel to Indiana, effective immediately.

Al-Shabab militants killed 147 at a university in Kenya, Africa. Terrorists rampaged through a university at dawn, in the group's deadliest attack in that East African nation. Four militants were shot and killed by security forces to end the siege just after dusk.
