Australia: More knife attacks
Reuters reminds us that in Sydney, Australia's largest city, there have been a series of knife attacks this year, prompting the New South Wales government to tighten regulations concerning these tools.
In April, six people were killed and 12 were injured in a knife attack at a shopping centre in the Bondi area in Sydney's eastern suburbs.
