Posted: 05 Jun 2015 07:27 PM PDT

Jim Bob Duggar and his wife Michelle Duggar attend a Pro-Life rally in ColumbiaTwo of the daughters in TLC's reality show "19 Kids and Counting," told Fox News on Friday that they had forgiven their brother Josh Duggar for molesting them in the past, but said they felt 'revictimized' in recent weeks by the media outlets that have dredged up the juvenile offenses. Jill Dillard, 24, and Jessa Seewald, 22, told "The Kelly File" host Megyn Kelly that they weren't initially aware of inappropriate advances around 12 years ago from their then-teenaged brother. "It was very subtle, and so I think that for us, we realized this is serious, but at the same time, it wasn't like a horror story." Dillard and Seewald, both now married, said that their family had forgiven Josh Duggar, now 27, who was never arrested or charged for the offences that involved four sisters and a babysitter, including a girl aged under 10 at the time.


IS using chlorine as a weapon, Australia’s Foreign Minister says

Posted: 05 Jun 2015 09:00 PM PDT

Smoke rises after what activists said were clashes with Islamic State fighters in Soran Azaz, Aleppo countrysideBy Morag MacKinnon PERTH (Reuters) - Islamic State militants have used chlorine as a weapon and are recruiting highly trained technicians in a serious bid to develop chemical weapons, Australia's Foreign Minister Julie Bishop warned. In a speech to an international forum of nations that works to fight the spread of such weapons, Bishop said the rise of militant groups such as ISIS, also known as Daish, posed "one of the gravest security threats we face today." "Apart from some crude and small scale endeavors, the conventional wisdom has been that the terrorist intention to acquire and weaponize chemical agents has been largely aspirational," Bishop told a meeting of the Australia Group in Perth. "The use of chlorine by Daish, and its recruitment of highly technically trained professionals, including from the West, have revealed far more serious efforts in chemical weapons development," she said.
