Monday, December 28, 2015 Jose Mourinho offered Real Madrid job to turn up the heat on Manchester United Jose Mourinho is facing a massive dilemma after being offered an instant return to Real Madrid. And that will turn up the heat even further on Manchester United and Louis Van Gaal who is under increasing pressure at Old Trafford. United must move quickly or risk missing out on Mourinho who must also decide on whether to pursue the Real Madrid job - or hang on. Mirror Sport revealed last month Real Madrid president Florentino Perez wants Mourinho to return to the Bernabeu. And it is understood that Perez has now made a move to bring in Mourinho to replace under-pressure Rafa Benitez - and wants him in charge as quickly as possible. Mourinho would prefer the United job rather than return to Real Madrid where he left amid controversy and under a cloud two-and-a-half years ago. But despite Mourinho being unpopular with sections of the Real Madrid fans and dressing room, Perez has remained a huge fan. Agents have now sounded out Mourinho’s camp and placed an offer on the table.

Over 300 killed during Army/Shiite clash- Human Rights Group claims

An International Human Rights group, the Human Rights Watch, says over 300 Shiite members were killed during the Army/Shiite clash in Zaria Kaduna state on December 12th and 13th. A statement by the group which was released today claims that accounts by the Shiite members witnessed the killins say the Army hurriedly dug a mass grave for their members who were killed during the clash

"The army carried out attacks at the Hussainniya Baqiyyatullah mosque and religious center, at the home of the Shiite leader, Sheikh Ibrahim Al Zakzaky, in the Gyellesu neighborhood and at the sect’s burial ground, Daral-Rahma, over the course of two days.
At least 300 Shia sect members, and likely many more, were killed and hundreds more injured, according to witnesses in at least two of the sites and a hospital source. Soldiers quickly buried the bodies in mass graves without family members’ permission, making it difficult to determine an accurate death toll. Although some people threw stones and had sticks, there has been no credible information that any soldiers were injured or killed"the statement in part read.
