TODAY IN HISTORY. 9News

The Roslin Institute in Scotland announced the existence of Dolly the Sheep, the world's first cloned mammal, on February 22, 1997. Dolly was administered a lethal injection on February 14, 2003 after vets discovered signs she was suffering from a progressive lung disease."The Dark Knight" star Heath Ledger posthumously won Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards, on February 22, 2009.

The legend behind the race in Olney also dates back to 1445 and recounts a woman who was making pancakes when church bells began ringing to announce a local church service. On that day, Malcolm X had been preparing to deliver a speech in front of the Organisation of Afro-American Unity in New York City's Audubon Ballroom when someone in the 400-person audience yelled, "N----r! Get your hand outta my pocket!"That single moment sparked minutes of chaos as Malcolm X's bodyguards tried to stop the disturbance.

His achievements were credited with raising the self-esteem of black Americans and for the spread of Islam in the black community in the United States. He then tried firing up the burner, but spilled petrol ignited and burned holes in the lower edges of the balloon.

Autistic teen apologises for taking pipe bomb on public busAn autistic Adelaide teenager who took a working pipe bomb on a public bus had no insight into how the community would react until he saw his crimes in a news report, a court has heard. Hmmmm....I know this kid. It's not his words, it's his lawyers. His intent was to blow his ex- friends to buggery along with himself. There's much more to this. What does autism have to do with any of this? So his autism is a defense to deny cognisance of making a live bomb and it's potential impacts and yet he is capable of articulating an apology such as he did? Which bit did I miss when I did mental health training? All of it?

Former ‘Propaganda arm’ of the IRA want Ireland to forget its ‘heinous’ past | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Cory Bernardi says many Irish people are “desperately concerned that Sinn Féin’s past has been erased” as the party wins 37 seats in the recent Republic of Ireland election.\n\nSinn Fein won the popular vote by over two per cent in the elections held on February 8, up by more than 10 per cent from the 2016 election.\n\nThe party which has “positioned themselves as a left-wing populist party” is hoping people will “forget about their engagement with a terrible part of history in Ireland”.\n\nMr Bernardi told Sky News host Peta Credlin Sinn Féin was the “propaganda arm of the Irish Republican Army [and] they were complicit in heinous crimes”.\n\nImage: Getty Are we? They should be. The IRA blew up women and children and the Army Council still control Sinn Fein. Do not believe for a second they have gone away. They are still very much in control of this party. The younger generation never had to live with their attrocities. Says a lot about Sky News for Cory Bernardi to be on the payroll. Shitgibbons need to feel relevant somewhere.
