Question: The military are to help the search for the bodies of three men killed in the Didcot power station collapse.

Four workers died when the boiler house at the Didcot A plant partially collapsed on 23 February.
The Home Office and Ministry of Defence (MoD) has now approved the deployment of military aid to support the work, Thames Valley Police said.
The force said the MoD would provide equipment and personnel which it claimed would speed-up the recovery.
The MoD said it had provided a remote-controlled vehicle and trained military operators "to assist in clearing hazards and taking the remaining structure down safely".
Site-owner RWE Npower previously announced plans to bring down the rest of the "unstable" building by a controlled explosive demolition, but said a plan was still being worked on.
Meanwhile, work to recover the men's bodies has been halted because contractors have reached a 50m (164 ft) exclusion zone.
The length of time it is taking to recover the bodies of Christopher Huxtable, 34, from Swansea, Ken Cresswell, 57, and John Shaw, 61, both from Rotherham, has previously been criticised by some family members.
Labour MP for Rotherham Sarah Champion also branded it a "national scandal".
Thames Valley Police said: "Our absolute priority remains the recovery of the missing men so they can be returned to their families and to understand what caused this tragic incident."
The force added specialist officers were continuing to support the families and were "providing them with daily updates on the progress on this work".
The decommissioned Didcot A plant closed in 2013 and demolition work was taking place when it collapsed.
The cause is being investigated jointly by police and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
The body of Michael Collings, 53, from Brotton, Teesside, has already been recovered from the site.

Represent the news article to find a single sentence that could be used as a summary!

The 23-year-old arrives from French club La Rochelle, where he had been on loan from Sydney's North Harbour Rays.
"He is a wing with exceptional pace and has, this past season, gained valuable experience in the Top 14," said Edinburgh head coach Alan Solomons.
"I believe he will add a vital edge to our attack and look forward to having him with us next season."
La Rochelle recruited Northam as medical cover for Samoa international Alofa Alofa in September.
He made five appearances for the Top 14 club, including three European fixtures.
"The boys here have told me the club's moving in the right direction and they've got a good team atmosphere," he said.
"What am I looking to add to the mix? I'm hoping to bring my speed and pace to the game, to execute and finish on some of the backline plays."

Mavinga, 23, played against the Falcons twice this season in the European Challenge Cup, scoring a try in France.
Graham, 24, is the son of former Newcastle prop George, a Premiership title winner with the club in 1998.
Newcastle have also agreed new contracts with tight-head prop Jon Welsh and centre Chris Harris.
The signings of Mavinga and Graham for the 2017-18 season are in addition to deals already confirmed for France centre Maxime Mermoz from Leicester Tigers, Canada winger DTH van der Merwe from Scarlets, Fiji centre Josh Matavesi from Ospreys and his fly-half brother Joel from Redruth as well as number eight Ryan Burrows from Yorkshire Carnegie.

Question: Two people accused of killing a County Armagh man and putting his body in a wheelie bin have been found guilty of murder.

This is part of a news article. Represent it to retrieve the first (missing) sentence of the article

The jury found Stephen Hughes, 29, and Shaunean Boyle, 25, guilty of punching, kicking and stamping on Owen Creaney in July 2014.
Mr Creaney, from Lurgan, died two days after the attack.
It took the jury just over five hours to reach a verdict after five weeks of evidence.
Both have received automatic life sentences.
A hearing to decide on the minimum time they will spend in prison before being considered for parole will take place on 18 November.
Hughes, with an address at Maghaberry Prison, and Boyle, of Edenderry Park, Banbridge, washed and changed Mr Creaney after the attack and put him in an upstairs room of a house.
After he died, Hughes and Boyle put Mr Creaney's body in a wheelie bin at the house in Moyraverty Court in Craigavon, County Armagh, where he was found by police.
As the verdicts were announced, Hughes stared straight ahead, while Boyle broke down in tears.
Before being led away, Boyle spoke to Hughes for the first time since the case commenced.
She turned to him and said: "look at what you have done". And as they were both being led away in handcuffs, she said to Hughes: "Have you no conscience on you at all?"

James Farrelly, 52, denies murdering Martin Hamilton, 53, in Mossside Drive, Blackburn, between 16 April and 17 December 2015.
It is alleged that, while acting with others, Mr Farrelly shot Hamilton in the head and inflicted blunt and sharp force injuries to his head.
He is also charged with hiding the body in woodland near the B7015.
It is also alleged that he removed kitchen units, appliances and flooring from the house in Mosside Drive, and cleaned and attempted to remove blood-staining from the house and from a van.
Farrelly, who is represented by Derek Ogg QC, is also accused of being concerned in the supply of cocaine and heroin between January 2001 and February 2016.
He denies all the charges against him and trial has been set for May.
Prosecutor Alex Prentice QC said: "The Crown position is that this is a fairly complicated case."
Hamilton, from Glasgow, was previously one of Scotland's most wanted men and was nicknamed the Blackhill Butcher, after the housing estate from which he operated..
He was released from prison in September 2014 but went missing in April last year.
He had been on the police's most-wanted list before he was jailed in 2000 over a string of charges including drug dealing, torture, abduction and sodomy.
The trial is expected to last between four and five weeks.

Question: First Minister Carwyn Jones has said his position on immigration is closer to that of Plaid Cymru than that of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Represent the news article to find a single sentence that could be used as a summary

He told the Senedd there was "merit" in Plaid leader Leanne Wood's call for free movement to work.
Mr Jones had accused Mr Corbyn of a "very London-centric" view which failed to acknowledge unease about immigration outside the "cosmopolitan" capital.
Ms Wood accused Mr Jones of pandering to UKIP, saying emigration was worse.
At the Labour conference in September, Mr Corbyn said Labour should focus on helping individual communities manage the pressure on public services from immigration rather than cut the numbers.
But last week the first minister told the Guardian newspaper that other parts of the UK saw immigration in a different light, adding that the issue which "loomed large" in the vote for Brexit.
Ms Wood tackled Mr Jones on his differences with the Labour Party leader during First Minister's Questions on Tuesday.
Mr Jones said immigration concerns had to be addressed without letting loose the "jackals of racism".
"I am closer to her position as leader of Plaid Cymru than any other," he said.
"She and I said something very similar last week, namely that there should be free movement for work, and free movement to look for work within a certain amount of time.
"I think there is merit in that."
Ms Wood tried to distance herself from the first minister, claiming his criticism of Mr Corbyn implied the people of Wales were opposed to immigration.
"You should be dealing with reality and not perception. You should not be dealing with the myths," she replied.
"We have a problem of emigration. Too many younger and skilled workers are leaving this country and also there is an imbalance within Wales with jobs and prosperity not spread evenly throughout this country.
"First minister, instead of pandering to UKIP, when are we going to have a real debate about the real solutions about the real migration problem here in Wales?"

Some Welsh Labour figures fear a Jeremy Corbyn victory in the Labour leadership contest will make it harder for the party to gain ground in May's poll.
Labour currently holds 30 of the 60 seats in Cardiff Bay.
Mr Jones said: "It's a Welsh election and it will be Welsh Labour fighting the election with me as its leader."
"It's early days, we don't know who will win the leadership election in September," he told BBC Radio Wales.
"One thing I can say is that next May, whoever is the leader in London, I'm the leader in Wales and Welsh Labour will be the party fighting the election in Wales."
Mr Corbyn's team say there is still no meeting arranged between him and Mr Jones, although Mr Corbyn is keen to meet him.
The first minister has met the other three candidates, Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall.
Welsh Labour said it was "in the process" of setting up a meeting between Mr Jones and Mr Corbyn.
Mr Jones has previously described the left-wing MP as an "unusual choice" as UK Labour leader, but refused to endorse publicly any of the four candidates.
The result of the contest is due to be announced on 12 September.

Question: The Scottish Chambers of Commerce (SCC) has called for work to tackle a notorious hairpin bend on the A9 in Caithness to be accelerated.

The Berriedale Braes were the scene of a lorry fire on 5 August which blocked the road for five hours. A 77-mile (124 km) detour was unsuitable for HGVs.
The SCC said accidents were a "frequent occurrence" and adversely affected businesses in the far north and Orkney.
Transport Scotland said a solution to the hairpin was being progressed.
The A9 drops from 150m (492ft) to 20m (65ft) as it enters a valley at the Berriedale Braes.
The A9 provides a link to the far north mainland coast and the ferry services at Scrabster, Gills Bay and John O'Groats to Orkney.
The fire earlier this month destroyed the lorry's tractor unit and trailer, which was carrying rubbish. No-one was injured.
The A9 was closed in both directions between the A897 Dunrobin Street junction and the A99 junction in Latheron.
The diversion put in place was only open to cars.
Liz Cameron, SCC chief executive, said: "On this occasion, HGVs were forced to turn back altogether as the diverted route was not suitable for HGV traffic, accounting for about one in 10 vehicles on the road.
"It is simply unacceptable that road users, businesses, and communities not only in Caithness but also in Orkney, face this level and frequency of disruption to their lives and livelihoods."
She added: "The adverse economic effects of these road closures and detours on businesses in Caithness are significant.
"But with the required investment to upgrade this part of the A9 estimated at approximately Â£2.5m, a fraction of the overall Â£3bn set aside for the A9 upgrade programme south of Inverness, this economic disruption could be substantially reduced at a relatively low cost to the taxpayer."
The design of the preferred option for tackling Berriedale Braes was published by Transport Scotland in April.
An outline of the final scheme should be released later this year.
A Transport Scotland spokesman said: "While the decision to close roads rests with Police Scotland, we are tackling the particular challenges at Berriedale Braes as a matter of urgency.
"The A9 is a vital arterial route connecting communities across Scotland and we are pressing ahead with unprecedented investment in its upgrade.
"We also appreciate the significant challenges to road users, in particular HGV's, in negotiating the hairpin bend at Berriedale Braes."

Highland Council had sought support for a raft of projects costing more than £400m.
The proposals include improvements to transport links, digital connectivity and creating new skills academies, mostly in Inverness.
The deal involves direct funding and greater borrowing powers.
The Scottish government has committed £135m of investment, the UK government £53m and Highland Council and its regional partners will contribute £127m.
The local authority has said the package, which will see money invested over 10 to 20 years, could attract £1bn in private sector investment over several years.
Projects proposed aim to boost the Highlands economy, create new jobs, attract professionals working in science, technology and engineering to the region and encourage young people not to move away from the Highlands for further education and work.
In a ceremony in Inverness, the deal was signed by Highland Council leader Margaret Davidson, Infrastructure Secretary Keith Brown and also Lord Dunlop, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Scotland Office.
Highland Council, Drew Hendry, who is SNP MP for Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey, and Highlands and Islands Enterprise have welcomed the announcement.
However, Highlands-based economist Tony Mackay and Rob Gibson, SNP MSP for SNP MSP for Caithness, Sutherland and Ross, have criticised the spending plans.
Earlier, Ms Davidson told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland programme that the package would bring years of "certainty and investment".
She said it would pay for major roads projects in Inverness. The new West Link has been designed to ease city centre congestion and travel to the A82, while the planned East Link would connect the A96 to the A9.
A flyover to take traffic up and over the Longman Roundabout at the Kessock Bridge could also be allocated money, said Ms Davidson.
She added that funding would also be directed towards improving the region's internet connections.
The Plan in the High Castle: Where the money is to be invested
Ms Davidson said: "What everyone, every community, is telling me is digital connectivity is what we are needing.
"That would penetrate every corner of the Highlands and we want the Highlands to be the best connected region in Europe."
The council leader confirmed that £15m had been sought for a project to transform Inverness Castle, currently a sheriff court, into a tourist attraction.
MP Mr Hendry said: "This deal offers us an opportunity to not only boost the economy and bring jobs, it allows us to plan growth, develop our vision and deliver for the people who live and work here.
"It is no secret that almost everyone in Inverness wants to see the castle open to the public. This will bring thousands of extra tourists and will significantly boost our tourism economy. It is a win for local people and visitors."
He added: "These infrastructure improvements, combined with the dualling of the A9, A96, improvements to the rail services and the SG commitment to 100% broadband coverage mean we will be better planned for, better connected and better able to take advantage of opportunities in the future."
Economist Mr Mackay said there was merit in some of the projects proposed, but described other ideas as "poor".
He told BBC Radio Scotland that turning Inverness Castle into a tourist attraction and improving roads would bring much-needed economic benefits.
But he added that money should also be invested in putting new businesses into empty shops in the city centre. Mr Mackay described building a velodrome, which had formed part of Highland Council's original investment plans, as a "waste of money".
Highland Council has since said a regional sports hub in Inverness did not form part of the City Region Deal.
The local authority said it would consider how to progress the plan and had an "indication of significant investment" from national body sportscotland.
The council had suggested the hub could have a velodrome and space for sports including gymnastics.
MSP Mr Gibson said some of the investment should have been committed to resolving a problematic section of the A890 in Wester Ross.
He said: "How can it be a city and region deal if the need for a bypass at Strome Ferry on the rock-fall prone section of the A890 is not a priority?
"Following a series of land slips and rock falls over decades the frequent closure of this A road which is a Highland Council responsibility could pose life and death issues for travellers.
"The school students going to Plockton High School from Lochcarron are exposed to danger every day. Keeping the dangerous section open has cost millions over decades."
City of Angles
By Steven McKenzie, BBC Highlands and Islands reporter
Ask anyone in Inverness and they will have a different angle on how hundreds of millions of pounds should be spent on the city.
There is support for the greater availability of sporting facilities because of the huge demand for what is already on offer at sites such as Inverness Leisure and Culloden Community Centre.
And while a traffic jam in Inverness is usually nothing like what can be experienced in Glasgow, Edinburgh or Aberdeen, it is the cause of frustration, especially at the Longman Roundabout, the octopus tentacle-esq Inshes Roundabout and Raigmore Interchange.
But the West Link, one of Highland Council's solutions to the traffic problems, has been controversial with a campaign opposed to the loss of green spaces to the new road.
Better digital connectivity would likely receive wide spread support with the most vocal support coming from places beyond Inverness. Highland Council's leader Margaret Davidson has said the whole of the Highlands would benefit from investment in improved broadband connections.
Wherever the millions of pounds is eventually committed it will be the cause of agreement and disagreement.
Similar deals have previously been secured by Glasgow and jointly by Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire councils.
The Scottish and UK governments provide funding and other support for the packages.
Highland Council said millions of pounds it has committed to building Inverness's new West Link road would form part of the deal.
The local authority said the package would benefit the wider Highland area.
During last week's Budget, Chancellor George Osborne said that negotiations would also begin on the Edinburgh and South-East Scotland City Region Deal bid
It aims to secure major funding to help better protect historic attractions in Scotland's capital, and also boost the wider area's overseas trade and opportunities for new businesses.
Those involved have calculated that an additional £3.2bn worth of private sector investment could be leveraged if the bid was successful.

Question: A man arrested amid an anti-terror operation at a shopping centre in Brussels was wearing a fake suicide belt containing salt and biscuits, the city's prosecutor's office says.

Represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence.

The man called police earlier in the morning claiming to have been abducted and made to wear an explosive belt.
Streets around the City 2 shopping centre were closed off and a bomb disposal unit deployed.
The man later said he had invented the whole story, according to prosecutors.
Authorities say the suspect, who was born in 1990 and has been identified only as JB, has a history of psychiatric problems.
Pictures obtained by Belgian newspaper Le Soir appeared to show him wearing an improvised belt, including wires and a phone.
According to prosecutors, he called police at 05:30 local time (03:30 GMT) claiming that he had been kidnapped, dropped off at the City 2 mall and that the suicide belt he was wearing could be detonated remotely.
After being arrested, the man described the car in which he was supposedly kidnapped, which was found in the Schaerbeek area.
He later admitted having simply memorised a random number plate after police questioned and then quickly released the driver of the car, prosecutors said.
J.B. had previously informed police that he had been encouraged to join the Islamic State (IS) group in Syria - a claim, prosecutors said, was being investigated.
"For the moment, the situation is under control," Prime Minister Charles Michel said earlier after a meeting of the national crisis response centre.
He said security services remained "extremely vigilant".
Belgium's terror alert level remains at three, one step down from a maximum level of four.
City 2 tightened security measures last week in response to media reports of a heightened threat to shopping centres based on an internal police memo, Le Soir reports.
Bomb attacks on Brussels airport and the city's metro killed 32 people in March and were claimed by IS.

Belgian media report that Hicham D is known to Belgian police and is believed to have links to jihadists who travelled to Syria to fight. He also served as a Belgian army officer until 2009.
"We have reason to believe that the incident was a terrorist attack," a spokesman for the Belgian federal prosecutor's office, Eric Van Der Sypt, said.
Belgian prosecutors said the officers had not suffered life-threatening injuries.
The attack happened near a main road in a region linked to previous terror attacks.
It comes just hours after commuters were evacuated from Brussels Nord station over a bomb scare.
Belgium has been on high alert following attacks in Brussels on the airport and the city's metro system in March, which killed 35 people and injured more than 300.
The attacks were claimed by the Islamic State (IS) militant group.

This is part of a news article. Represent it to retrieve the first (missing) sentence of the article!

The man argued that circumcision would be in accordance with his religious beliefs.
But the boys' mother, who is separated from their father, disagreed.
At a Family Court hearing in Exeter, Mrs Justice Roberts said the boys, who are six and four, should first reach an age where they can make the decision for themselves.
The man had argued that it would be "in the children's best interests to allow them to be circumcised" in accordance with his "Muslim practice and religious beliefs".
His former partner "opposes that course until such time as the children have reached an age where they are competent to give consent to such a procedure," the judge added.
"There is no guarantee that these boys will wish to continue to observe the Muslim faith with the devotion demonstrated by their father, although that may very well be their choice.
"They are still very young and there is no way of anticipating at this stage how the different influences in their respective parental homes will shape and guide their development over the coming years."
Mrs Justice Roberts said she was deferring that decision "to the point where each of the boys themselves will make their individual choices once they have the maturity and insight to appreciate the consequences and longer-term effects of the decisions which they reach."

Conservative MP Henry Smith asked the question in the House of Commons.
The new Northern Ireland Office junior minister Kris Hopkins said the issue of flags in NI was "a sensitive and complex one".

The Battle of Messines Ridge in Belgium was the first occasion that soldiers from the 36th Ulster Division and 16th Irish Division were in battle together.
Both had fought at the Battle of the Somme but at different stages.
The ceremony will take place in Messines on 7 June.
The Northern Ireland Office said the ceremony would take place at the Island of Ireland Peace Park.
The battle was a notable victory for the Allies and involved the deployment of 19 huge mines which exploded beneath the ridge, killing as many as 10,000 soldiers.
Secretary of State James Brokenshire said: "We have seen all too well how history can divide, but our ambitious goal throughout this decade of centenaries is to seek to use history to bring us together, and to build on the political progress that has been made throughout these islands.
"This shared ceremony is an opportunity to remember the service and sacrifice of those who fought at Messines Ridge, as well as to further strengthen the important relationships that exists between the United Kingdom and Ireland."
Irish Foreign Minister Charlie Flanagan said: "Those from the island of Ireland were brought together by diverse motivations but they shared a common purpose as soldiers and, caught up in the grim realities of war, no doubt a common desire: to survive and return home."
The event will be ticketed. Those interested in attending should visit the UK government website or the website for the Department of Foreign Affairs in the Republic.
More than 200,000 Irishmen fought on behalf of Britain in World War One, including both unionists who wanted Ireland to remain a part of Britain and nationalists who wanted to protect Home Rule, in which Britain had agreed to devolve some parliamentary powers to Dublin.

Question: Paul Nicholas, of Just Good Friends and West End fame, is to join the cast of BBC One's long-running soap EastEnders.

The 69-year-old will play Gavin Sullivan, the estranged husband of Gillian Taylforth's character Kathy.
"I am delighted to be joining the wonderful cast... for what is going to be an exciting time ahead," said the actor, who appeared with ex-EastEnder Michelle Collins in BBC drama Sunburn.
"I can't wait to get started and seeing what's in store for my character."
Nicholas's EastEnders debut follows Taylforth's surprise return to Albert Square during EastEnders' 30th anniversary celebrations in February.
The actress's character, last seen in the soap in 2000, had been thought to be dead for more than a decade after a car crash in South Africa.
"We are all thrilled that Paul has agreed to join our cast to play Gavin," said Dominic Treadwell-Collins, the show's executive producer.
"It's brilliant to have him back on our screens, playing a major part in Kathy's explosive return to the Square, while also holding the key to many more of the Square's secrets."
Nicholas made his name on the West End stage in such shows as Jesus Christ Superstar, Hair and Cats before landing the role of Vince Palmer in Just Good Friends.
Created by John Sullivan, the sitcom - which ran from 1983 to 1986 - saw his character enjoy an on-off relationship with old flame Penny, played by Jan Francis.
Nicholas has since enjoyed success as a theatre producer and a recording artist and makes regular appearances in pantomime.
The actor is currently touring the UK in a stage version of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, which plays this week at the Ashcroft Theatre in Croydon.

Fry will voice an aristocratic deer called Lord Stag in Driftwood Bay.
The show, which will air on Nick Jr in the UK in May, is about a young girl who creates an imaginary world from treasures she finds on the beach.
Horrocks will play Wee Rabbit while Mullan, best known for hard-hitting dramas, will be Salty Dog the sailor.
Broadcaster, actor and presenter Fry is known as the host of BBC panel show QI and as The Hobbit's Master of Laketown while Mullan's credits include starring in TV drama Top of the Lake and the film Tyrannosaur.
Mullan said: "I've never done any voice work on animation so I thought this was a nice chance to do something that my children can actually see me in for a change!"
Driftwood Bay is to be made by Sixteen South, a Belfast-based children's TV production company.
Horrocks was the star of stage play and film Little Voice and recently appeared alongside Mullan in the film Sunshine on Leith.
The voice cast also includes Father Ted star Ardal O'Hanlon, Tameka Empson, who plays Kim Fox in EastEnders and Annette Crosbie, known for roles in TV shows like One Foot in the Grave and The Six Wives of Henry VIII.

Question: Represent the following document!

Question: While international attention has been drawn to the dramatic stand-off at the Westgate shopping complex in the Kenyan capital Nairobi, both Kenyan authorities and al-Shabab militants have been trying to broadcast their messages about the attack on social media.

Even before the Westgate shoot-out, al-Shabab had been trying to use English-language Twitter accounts to broadcast its message to the wider world. However, accounts thought to be used by the group had already been shut down by Twitter twice in the past nine months.
Each time, however, the account has re-appeared under a slightly different name.
During the attack on Westgate, an al-Shabab linked account began putting out messages saying the attack was in retaliation for Kenyan forces' "crimes" in Somalia and referring to "fighting the Kenyan kuffar [infidels] inside their own turf".
That account in turn was suspended and others have appeared over the course of the siege, all of them using similar language, causing confusion over which one, if any, was genuine.
On Tuesday yet another account was created, and an al-Shabab spokesman confirmed to the BBC that it was their account. As of Tuesday afternoon, it was still active.
Like the previous accounts, it has also taken to gloating over the attack and urging Kenyans to put pressure on their government to withdraw forces from Somalia.
One message reads: "You could have avoided all this and lived your lives with relative safety. Remove your forces from our country and peace will come #Westgate."
The account also tweeted a photo originally posted by another, mainly Arabic-language, account affiliated to al-Shabab claiming to show two of the attackers inside the shopping complex.
This feed has managed to stay on Twitter since being set up on 1 May. It has also been giving updates during the current crisis, some of them in English.
Clearly aware of how the crisis is being covered in the international media, it refers to rumours that Samantha Lewthwaite, the British widow of one of the bombers that carried out the 7/7 attack in London in 2005, is involved in the Westgate attack, even using the "white widow" nickname given to her in the press.
Kenyan security officials have also been tweeting prolifically throughout the crisis, with police providing many announcements in the form of tweets.
The inspector general of Kenya's national police service, David Kimaiyo, announced after the crisis began on Saturday that the area was surrounded by police and appealed for the public and media organisations to stay away from the scene.
He has been giving a regular stream of updates ever since, as has the account for the Kenyan police.
However, verifiable facts about the situation inside the mall have at times been difficult to come by, with an apparent lack of co-ordination in the messages being given by different branches of government.
For example, on Monday the Kenyan Foreign Minister Amina Mohamed said in a US television interview that "two or three" Americans and one British woman were among the attackers.
On the same evening her cabinet colleague Joseph Ole Lenku sent a tweet stating: "All terrorists are male".
Also on Monday evening several official accounts began to suggest the crisis was drawing to a close. "We're in control of #Westgate", read one message from the interior ministry, while other accounts linked to Kenyan security forces retweeted congratulatory messages about the operation.
However, it soon became clear that the operation was in fact continuing and that not all of the attackers had been apprehended.
But arguably the most important use of social media by the authorities is to rally Kenyans behind the security forces as they respond to the attack using the hashtags #WeAreOne and #WithOneAccord, a reference to the Kenyan national anthem.
The prevailing mood among Kenyans on Twitter appears to be one of support for the operation against the militants and a feeling of solidarity in a time of crisis.
Kenyans are among the most active users of Twitter in Africa and have also been using social media in order to come together and organise initiatives to help the victims of the attack.
Many shared information about where to give blood - blogger Robert Alai shared a picture of children on roller-skates holding placards urging Kenyans to donate blood.
Others shared stories of Kenyans bringing food to journalists covering the siege and the security forces posted near the centre.

IS achieved a major boost in March this year when it won the loyalty of the main jihadi group in West Africa - Boko Haram, which is based in Nigeria, Africa's most populous state.
But East Africa - which has a longer history of militant Islamist activity - has so far remained out of its grasp, mainly because of the al-Shabab leadership's loyalty to al-Qaeda.
However, some cracks may be starting to appear in that unified position.
Last month Sheikh Abdulqadir Mumi, a prominent former "spiritual leader" and recruiter for al-Shabab, declared allegiance to IS from his base in the remote Galgala Mountains, in the semi-autonomous region of Puntland, located in north-eastern Somalia.
The move may turn out to be largely symbolic, given that reports indicate only 20 of Mumi's estimated 300 followers opted to switch sides, but it has at least given IS its first official outpost in East Africa.
For al-Qaeda, East Africa has always been a key frontier of jihad. Its most notorious attack, before it brought down the New York Twin Towers in 2001, was the simultaneous bombing of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, which left more than 200 people dead.
With al-Qaeda significantly weakened since the death of Osama Bin Laden, it has relied on al-Shabab to salvage its credibility in global jihadi circles.
Its attack on Kenya's Garissa University College in April, which killed about 150 people, provided a grim sequel to the Westgate shopping centre attack in September 2013, when at least 67 were killed in a daytime assault in the heart of the Kenyan capital.
These large-scale attacks made al-Shabab a prime target for recruitment by IS, a group which prefers its new members to have proven murderous credentials.
IS has embarked on a sleek propaganda campaign, where high definition videos not only show gruesome beheadings and public executions, but also depict a utopian view of life under the IS "caliphate" in Iraq and Syria: of people harvesting grapes in Raqqa or taking a dip in Mosul's public swimming pool.
This is a tactic - one that al-Shabab has itself copied - to attract jihadists from around the world.
IS has even co-opted Boko Haram, its new affiliate in Africa, to urge Somali militants to join its ranks as part of the Nigerian group's own propaganda machine.
For the most part so far, al-Shabab's leaders have not been swayed by IS attempts to woo them.
They have banned any discussion relating to the group and have detained perceived IS sympathisers in southern and central Somalia, including two senior commanders and some foreign fighters, according to pro al-Shabab media.
The group has also said it would treat defectors as enemies.
Internal tensions have already started to spill over in some cases, with local media reporting at least nine militants killed in fighting earlier this month between two rival al-Shabab factions in southern Somalia.
The repeated warnings from the jihadist group's leaders against defections suggest they see IS as a genuine threat to their own standing and ability to recruit.
Although al-Shabab has carried out big attacks outside its borders - especially on Kenya which has troops on the ground as part of an African Union mission backing the Somali government - the group's priorities are still mainly domestic.
IS advocates global expansion and domination, an ideology that does not sit well with al-Shabab leaders, who would rather focus on matters closer to home.
While the group is happy to take on foreign fighters who serve their own purpose, the idea of taking orders from leaders outside Somalia is not something the al-Shabab hierarchy is keen on.
Somalia's President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has held up reports of factionalism within al-Shabab as a sign of the group's weakness, but it still holds large swathes of territory in the central and southern regions of the country, and continues to launch deadly attacks in the capital Mogadishu.
There is no doubt that al-Shabab, whatever internal wrangling is currently going on, remains a deadly force within Somalia and in neighbouring Kenya.
If the IS propaganda campaign leads to more defections, it could declare a branch in East Africa, prompting a potentially devastating three-way war between IS, al-Shabab and the Somali government.
It would also herald the arrival of a more potent enemy for other East African governments.

Question: Temperatures at the North Pole could be up to 20 degrees higher than average this Christmas Eve, in what scientists say is a record-breaking heatwave.

Represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence

Climate scientists say these unseasonably warm weather patterns in the Arctic region are directly linked to man-made climate change.
Temperatures throughout November and December were 5C higher than average.
It follows a summer during which Arctic sea ice reached the second-lowest extent ever recorded by satellites.
Dr Friederike Otto, a senior researcher at Oxford's Environmental Change Institute told BBC News that in pre-industrial times "a heatwave like this would have been extremely rare - we would expect it to occur about every 1,000 years".
Dr Otto added that scientists are "very confident" that the weather patterns were linked to anthropogenic climate change.
"We have used several different climate modelling approaches and observations," she told BBC News.
"And in all our methods, we find the same thing; we cannot model a heatwave like this without the anthropogenic signal."
Temperatures are forecast to peak on Christmas Eve around the North Pole - at near-freezing.
The warm air from the North Atlantic is forecast to flow all the way to the North Pole via Spitsbergen, giving rise to clouds that prevent heat from escaping.
And, as Dr Otto explained to BBC News, the reduction in sea ice is contributing to this "feedback loop".
"If the globe is warming, then the sea ice and ice on land [shrinks] then the darker water and land is exposed," she said.
"Then the sunlight is absorbed rather than reflected as it would be by the ice."
Forecasting models show that there is about a 2% chance of a heatwave event occurring every year.
"But if temperatures continue to increase further as they are now," said Dr Otto, "we would expect a heatwave like this to occur every other year and that will be a huge stress on the ecosystem."
Dr Thorsten Markus, chief of NASA's Cryospheric Sciences Laboratory, said the heatwave was "very, very unusual".
"The eerie thing is that we saw something quite similar (temperatures at the North Pole of about 0C in December) almost exactly a year ago," he told BBC News.
The freeze and thaw conditions are already making it difficult for reindeer to find food - as the moss they feed on is covered by hard ice, rather than soft, penetrable snow.
Asked if the conditions on Christmas Eve were likely to affect Santa's all-important journey, Dr Markus said he was confident that his sled would cope with the conditions.
He added: "Santa is most likely overdressed though. Maybe in the future we'll see him in a light jacket or plastic mac."

That El Nino played havoc with world weather systems and was blamed for several extreme weather events.
The current El Nino has been linked to several floods and unusually warm conditions in the northern hemisphere.
The phenomenon sees warm waters of the central Pacific expand eastwards towards North and South America.
El Nino is a naturally occurring weather episode which happens every two to seven years.
It usually peaks late in the calendar year, although the effects can persist well into the following spring and last up to 12 months.
Nasa says the current El Nino "shows no signs of waning", based on the latest satellite image of the Pacific Ocean.
It bears "a striking resemblance" to one from December 1997, the agency says, "the signature of a big and powerful El Nino".
Strongest El Nino since 1950 on the way
Matt McGrath: 'High impacts' from globally stronger El Nino
Worries over humanitarian impact
This year's El Nino has been linked to the worst floods seen in 50 years in Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil.
The floods there have forced more than 150,000 people from their homes -  more than 100,000 of them in the Paraguayan capital alone.
In the US, 13 people have died in the US state of Missouri as a result of flooded rivers after tornadoes and storms hit the region.
A five-mile (8km) section of the Mississippi River near St Louis was closed to vessels as a result of the "hazardous conditions" that have been caused.
El Nino has also been cited as a factor in the floods that have hit northern parts of the UK, forcing thousands from their homes and leaving thousands more without power.
Storm Frank, which is expected to bring fresh rain and flooding to the UK this week, is part of a weather system causing unusually high temperatures in the Arctic.
One weather buoy near the North Pole has measured a temperature above freezing -  almost unheard of at this time of year, when the normal figure is about -25C (-13F).
Astonishing spike at North Pole: BBC science editor David Shukman
One of the most bizarre side-effects of the current turbulence in the global weather is that even at the roof of the world, at what is meant to be the coldest time of the year in the northern hemisphere, the North Pole itself is unusually warm.
There are no instruments there at the moment to provide exact readings but US weather buoys, drifting with the ice slightly to the south, have recorded the extraordinary fact of temperatures nudging just above zero.  And the Norwegian weather service estimates temperatures there to be around -2C.
Either way, that is astonishingly warm given the average temperature for the time of year, which is around -25C.
The spike in warmth will not last long but may conceivably act as a brake on the usual process of the growth of winter ice in the Arctic. And it certainly serves as a reminder of the power and reach of Storm Frank, which is currently battering the UK, as the swirl of winds around it has pushed warm air northwards.
Higher temperatures than the seasonal average have been noted in many parts of Europe and the US.
Average temperatures on Christmas Day in France were the second highest on record, just below those of 1997.
The mild weather has forced farmers to harvest crops such as salad, strawberries and asparagus early, with reports of large amounts of produce going to waste.
Desperation in one French ski resort at the lack of snow led to 100 tons of snow being airlifted in by helicopter.
In Italy, experts say the unusually calm and dry weather has exacerbated pollution over the cities of Milan and Rome.
By contrast, in Mexico El Nino is being blamed for freezing temperatures in the north of the country, with snow seen in parts of the Sonoran desert for the first time in 33 years. Three deaths have been blamed on the cold in Sonora state.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO)  has stressed that El Nino is not the only factor driving global climate patterns but said the implications of the weather systems in a warmer world are uncertain.
"This naturally occurring El Nino event and human-induced climate change may interact and modify each other in ways which we have never before experienced, " WMO secretary general Michael Jarraud said last month.
"Even before the onset of El Nino, global average surface temperatures had reached new records. El Nino is turning up the heat even further," he said.

Question: A police officer has been charged with murder after shooting a teenager who was a passenger in a car as it drove away from a house party in Dallas.

Roy Oliver opened fire on the vehicle, killing Jordan Edwards, 15, with a single bullet in the head on Saturday.
Police initially said the car reversed "aggressively" towards the officer, but then admitted that was not the case.
The police use of lethal force against African Americans has been a subject of fierce protest and debate for years.
The Dallas County Sheriff's Office issued a warrant for Mr Oliver's arrest on Friday.
In a statement, the office said there was evidence to suggest Mr Oliver "intended to cause serious bodily injury and commit an act clearly dangerous to human life that caused the death of an individual".
The tragedy unfolded after police responded to reports of underage drinking at a house party in Balch Springs, a Dallas suburb.
Officers were inside the home trying to find the owner when they heard what they believed to be gunshots, and people began to flee from the house in panic.
Edwards was with his two brothers and two other friends in a car that left the party at this time.
Mr Oliver opened fire with a rifle, shooting Edwards as he sat in the front passenger seat.
The police officer was fired by the department earlier in the week.
A vigil was held for Edwards on Thursday night.

The gunman, who had kidnapped a woman, barricaded himself inside the bureau before fleeing by car. He was shot in the head by police but survived.
A second officer was shot in the leg during the stand-off about a mile (1.6km) from the US Capitol.
The incident was not related to terrorism, the FBI said.
Police said the security guard, Lawrence Buckner, saw two people fighting in a car that matched the description of a vehicle involved in an armed kidnapping.
When Mr Buckner - whose age was not given - approached the car he was shot in the chest.
The gunman also fired at police cars during a chase before he was blocked in and wounded in a fire fight.
The woman, thought to be the suspect's wife, got out of the car somewhere between the Census Bureau office in Maryland and central Washington. She was later found alive.
Police said the officer who was shot in the leg is expected to recover.

Question: The battle of the number eights will go a long way to deciding Saturday's Six Nations match between England and Wales, according to Sam Warburton.

This is part of a news article. Represent it to retrieve the first (missing) sentence of the article.

The meeting of cousins Taulupe Faletau of Wales and England's Billy Vunipola is being touted as one of the key confrontations at Twickenham.
Wales captain Warburton agrees with that assessment.
"If either has a very good game it's going to go a long way towards that team winning the match," he said.
Wales coach Warren Gatland has called the game a cup final which will probably decide the tournament.
England are top of the table after winning their first three games and are up against a Welsh side who are also unbeaten after recording two wins and a draw.
Vunipola's performances have been a key factor in England's success, and he is the leading ball carrier in the tournament.
Wales' success has been built on an unyielding defence in which Faletau has been an outstanding figure.
"Toby's one of the best players I've played with," added Warburton.
"He's gifted in the sense that he can do everything. I don't think anyone could find an attribute that he can't do on the field.
"I think that's going to be a massive battle between those two number eights.
"Billy's been a class act for the past three matches and I've always been impressed with him when I've watched him for Saracens and he's always been one of England's go-to players."
Wales second row Alun Wyn Jones, who will make his 98th appearance for Wales at Twickenham, agrees that Gatland's side will have to contain Vunipola.
"Very much so, and hopefully they'll be thinking the same about Toby," he said.
"It's one of the battles within the game.
"Both players are in a fine burst of form, but probably Billy's been the stand out eight in the competition thus far, no disrespect to Toby, I think everyone would agree with that.
"Billy's been the talisman in their pack, he's given them go-forward off the back of a good set piece but also linking up wide with their backline because he's having a bit more licence to play wide and he's been effective doing that."

Question: Marriage is seen as inevitable in Indonesian culture, with friends and family often putting pressure on young people to find a partner and settle down.

Represent the news article to find a single sentence that could be used as a summary.

But one group of young people is fighting back, using social media to celebrate singlehood with laughter.
Jakarta Lonely Council (or Dewan Kesepian Jakarta) - a play on the name of a well-known independent art body Jakarta Art Council - has become a kind of Facebook haven for single people.
The group's most popular posts are when they alter quotes from famous and prominent people to make memes related to single status, loneliness, and the feeling of longing for your ex.
"The compulsion of dating on Saturday night is a bourgeois conspiracy," says one post. Another declares 14 February as Single Pride Day with the phrase: "Single, but proud."
Indonesia's first President Soekarno, a great Indonesian novelist Pramoedya Ananta Toer, and even world figures like Joseph Stalin, Friedrich Schiller, Oscar Wilde, and John F  Kennedy have been featured.
"Rejected once is a tragedy; rejected a million times? That's a statistic," said one of its memes. It comes from Joseph Stalin's "a single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic".
"Having a date is nothing special; what makes it great is only the interpretation of it," said another, changing a famous quotes from Pramoedya Ananta Toer which originally said: "Life is simple; what makes it complicated are interpretations of it."
They also post edited logos, turning Pizza Hut into "Pizza Hurt", and puns such as "my hard disk is full of our memory, but my heart is empty without your name", or "don't ask when I will get married; ask what you can do for your country".
One of the founders said the page was created two years ago for fun, because the members love making memes and wanted to laugh themselves.
"When we created the page, most of us were single. But now, one of us got married. How cruel is that?" said one of Jakarta Lonely Council's initiator, who wanted to keep their identity anonymous.
The creators, mostly young people, come from different professions; one is a researcher, a writer, and a lecturer. They use "celibate for purpose" in many posts, to emphasise that being alone or single is a choice and there is nothing wrong with it.
Many users find the posts both hilarious and original.
"Being single is tough!" screams one user.
Some others even suggested their own quotes. "I have ex, therefore I am," said Facebook user Edy Sembodo, tweaking Descartes' famous quote.
But some have criticised the posts as rude and disrespectful. The posts that are related to current political issues often spark controversy.
On their Facebook page, Jakarta Lonely Council said the memes were not meant to mock famous people and their views. Instead, they want to laugh with them "as if they are alive and joking with us. We believe, with laugher, we can be more mature".
Beyond the memes, the group also wants the page to be a celebration for single people. Being married or in a couple, they said, is not a necessity and being single is a choice.
They also criticised the social and cultural values that push single people to marry a man or women their parents think is right for them.
In Indonesia, religion plays a big part in relationships. Marriages between different religions are illegal and usually one partner has to change their religion in order to marry.
"We experienced how bitter it was to end a relationship because we date a man or woman who has different religion, ideology, or ethnicity," said the Jakarta Lonely Council founder.
"Rather than bully the singles, we better advocate for them, right?"
Psychologist and lecturer at Bina Nusantara University Pingkan Rumondor, who is studying the effects of marriage pressure on young people, says there is a cultural view which sees marriage as a form of devotion to parents, and parents wants their kids to marry sooner because they think it brings prestige to the family.
"There is an impression that if you are single and unmarried, you are a loner, emotionally unstable and unable to act like a grown up," Ms Rumondor says. "Religions also encourage people to build family and marry as soon as they are adequate - in terms of age, income, and education."
Some of those perspectives need to be changed, she says.
"Parents should encourage their kids to start thinking about what his/her purpose in life. Instead of asking when you'll be married, parents should ask 'what is your plan in life?', 'can marriage help you to achieve it?'"

This is because of better education, "but also because they have good incomes and have lost the economic incentive to marry", the post on "Sina Liaoning" declared on 17 September.
Many users agree, and have set out why they no longer believe in marriage.
The post led tens of thousands of social media users to the #ChinesePeopleUnwillingToGetMarried hashtag to express a view.
While some say they would still like to get married one day, many users think the institution is not as relevant as it once was.
"Gan Zhaoji" says she has other aspirations. "If I was admitted to a graduate school then I would be pursuing my dreams, but marriage is not a necessity. But how do I say that I don't want to get married, but do want a child?"
"LostCici" agrees, saying she doesn't want to succumb to social pressures. "I don't want to get married because others tell me to get married; I don't want to have a baby because others tell me to have a baby."
A male user, "Yang Tingting", says "the cost of marriage nowadays is too high; people would rather live a different life."
Many agree that there is a stigma attached to not getting wed; either from partners or parents.
"Lin Maomao" says: "I think it is quite a strange phenomenon: some men do not want to hear a woman say she does not want to get married."
"Zhao Qingji" says: "If there were no social factors, I would not want to get married. My feeling is that it is not the be-all-and-end-all."
An ageing population and the now-scrapped one-child policy have led to a huge age and gender gap in Chinese society, meaning that many men are simply unable to find a partner.
And the poorest often lose out, given that when a couple marries, it has been tradition for the husband to buy a home for his bride. Seventy per cent of women see having an apartment "as a prerequisite for men to ask for marriage", a 2012 study found.
There are also changing attitudes among young women, especially those wanting to pursue higher education and rise through the ranks in business, rather than be seen as financially dependent on a partner.
Many have also defied their parents' expectations, and have sought out a partner solely for love.
Divorce rates in China are also higher than ever before. China Daily says the divorce rate peaked at 6 per cent in July, with 3.84 million couples divorcing within a year.
The "Sina Liaoning" account posted an online poll in which Weibo users were asked if they did still want to marry, why that might be.
Some 40% of the 20,000 users who took part said they would marry for love. The rest pointed to external factors. Some 7% said it was because their "families pressed it on them", and 6% said they were "afraid of being alone".
Others said they would get married to prove that they "weren't weird or different". Â

Question: A former Wales rugby player-turned coach has been fined Â£350 for making threats after he retaliated to racist taunts while out in Denbighshire.

New Zealand-born Dale McIntosh, 47, of Pontypridd, admitted threatening behaviour at Llandudno Magistrates' Court.
The court heard he threw punches after being subjected to a "torrent of derogatory terms" while he was drinking in Rhyl on 4 February.
McIntosh apologised for his behaviour.
Diane Williams, prosecuting, said police outside a pub saw an "agitated" Merthyr RFC coach taking off his jacket before he cornered a man and allegedly struck him numerous times.
The former Cardiff Blues and Pontypridd RFC coach was arrested and told police he reacted after being taunted by a group.
Graham Parry, defending McIntosh, said it was a "very unfortunate incident" and his client was subject to a "considerable amount of very unpleasant provocation".
McIntosh apologised to the court for his actions, saying: "I'm not here to question it or make excuses for myself. I used physical force, I am a professional person and role model in my community.
"I extend my sincere apologies especially to the three arresting officers. Hopefully I will learn from this experience."

Tweed admitted four offences including assault by beating and criminal damage at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court.
The 27-year-old, from Buckhurst Hill, Essex, was given a community order, 100 hours of unpaid work and told to pay compensation to the staff member.
He was also ordered to pay Â£2.50 to McDonald's to cover damage to cups and napkins at an outlet in the city.
During an appearance at the same court in January, prosecutor Phil Pearson said Mr Tweed had been to the McDonald's outlet in Boreham at around 03:30 BST on 9 October while "under the influence of alcohol".
Mr Pearson said Tweed started to become disorderly and began throwing cups, napkins and other items around with his friends.
Tweed married Big Brother contestant Jade Goody, 27, days before she died from cervical cancer in March 2009.

Question: Egypt's internet activists have played a key role in the pro-democracy protests from the outset, but they tell the BBC that the online campaigning is evolving to suit their real-life activism in Tahrir Square.

This revolution is the result of someone sending a Facebook invitation to many people.  I got it like other people on our network.  The buzz around it was then created on different social media websites and with videos.  I was here on 25 January when riot police forced us out and by the 28th, we were back following the violence.  I've been sleeping here most of the time since.
Our social network was established in 2005, when there was a democratic opening around the time of the presidential elections. People from different backgrounds all met through blogging and hoped to use technology for social change.  It meant we have all gained good contacts, experience and strong networks.
I like to think the social network is the people itself.  Things like Facebook, Twitter, SMS and phones are just social tools.  When they blocked Facebook and shut down technology, our network still operated because it's about people.  Internet activists are also people and a lot of our organising, social work and relationships are developed offline.
This is something that people dreamt of but didn't anticipate happening in reality.  If anything, it shows that all the effort we put in over the past few years has not been wasted.  It has climaxed into this critical mass of people you see in the square.
At the moment I'm not getting a lot of internet connection.  I'm trying not to drain my phone battery. We're still using it to distribute footage people are bringing to us that we've sorted through.
I hope the internet will continue to play a complementary role in activism.  At the moment we physically exist in downtown Cairo and I hope that when we have finished this sit-in, we will have won the right to organise ourselves outside the internet.

I was involved in this revolution from the first day, 25 January, and I've now been spending my nights here for a while. For the past five years, I was very active online, blogging and tweeting.  As we live under emergency laws in Egypt it has been very difficult to meet or communicate except on the internet. I'd never been part of a demonstration on the ground.
At first we were mocking the event on 25 January.  We questioned whether it was really possible to have a "Facebook revolution". I came on the 25th because I felt it was my duty as a citizen and I couldn't believe how it turned into something so different from what we've seen before.  I was walking among the people and weeping.
Now I sometimes just tweet to update people about what's going on or to call for a million-man demonstration or a day to remember our martyrs.  I'm well-known among bloggers for my long articles and constant tweets, but once I was here I stopped communicating this way so much. I felt it was totally different to have real freedom rather than just hypothetical freedom or internet freedom.
Blogging and tweeting has been important as we were building our minds.  This regime stopped us from doing that.  We had have poor education and no national cultural programmes.  I am so proud now, especially when I think of our young martyrs.  In Egypt we have suffered a lot and it's about time that we start to live like real people.
Twitter: Nawara Negm
I'm not writing my blog right now.  We're just using Twitter as it's easy and flexible to do from your mobile.  If we have a lot of action here I might do as many as 20 or 30 tweets a day.  We also use Bambuser for live-streaming from our mobiles here in Tahrir Square.
The internet gave us our backbone but it is not because of Facebook that this happened.  It was the force used by the police that brought everybody together.  If they had let us leave peacefully on 25 January, this would never have happened.  It got worse with the violence on 28th: The shootings, the tear gas, the killings, the brutality.  When they cut the internet and mobile phone lines this only increased people's anger.
In the square we have organised our lives well. We have a co-ordinating committee telling us where there have been attacks and a group doing cleaning.  We have some people singing and some praying. We have Christians, Muslims, agnostics, leftists and rightists and we all live together well.   In our community we're trying to set an example of how we can all live together.  It's like a city inside the city here.  We are the kernel of the revolution.

The revolution was publicised on the internet.  The spark was Facebook.  People were really sceptical about it because they didn't think you could have a revolution where you named the date, but now I look around me and I am really proud of the Egyptian people and the initiative.  I'm sure that those who named the date didn't think things would go this far.
To begin with on 25 January, we had mostly young people of all classes who somehow use the internet.  You have internet cafes even in the poorest areas of Egypt so even less well-educated people have access, especially to Facebook.  A lot was also achieved through word of mouth - people telling their friends and neighbours.  The independent media took a middle-ground to begin with as everyone was watching their backs but now they have got onboard.
After our huge turnout on the first Tuesday, demonstrations continued for the next two days and we publicised further action for Friday on the internet.  That day they cut our communications and took our cameras so we had an information blackout and the violence was unbelievable. A lot of people died.
Still the threshold of fear and pain had been broken and we have kept up momentum since. Now older people especially come up to us when we're collecting trash or whatever in the square and they say: "We're really proud of you... You did what we didn't manage to do for 60 years."
People have called this the "Facebook Revolution" because it gave us a form of expression even when people were too scared to talk in big groups about political issues.  We had already set up Facebook pages for people who were tortured to death.  We found it was a way to talk without being tracked.
In the square we have bridged a lot of gaps.  I've been living here since 29 January with tens of thousands of other people.  I put my head down to sleep and I don't know the people sleeping around me. I have wonderful conversations with people from all over Egypt who normally I would never have talked to.
We're finally getting to know each other. It's wonderful.

The timing of the riots raises the question of whether they are part of the same trend.
If they are, that could send a chill wind through governments elsewhere in the Arab world, where people have many of the same grievances.
George Joffe, a specialist in North African affairs at Cambridge University, sees certain shared characteristics, but no common cause.
"Both countries' governments are extremely insensitive to popular sentiment, both countries have seen a dramatic rise in food prices," he said.
"But [the riots] are not related, in that they started for very different reasons. I don't see a link."
"It's simply the case that in both countries, people lead miserable lives," he added.
The main thing the two cases have in common is demography.
In both Algeria and Tunisia, high birth-rates have led to an explosion in the number of young people of job-seeking age.
At the same time, the economies of both countries - while outpacing growth in developing economies in the past few years - have not grown fast enough to meet the demand for jobs.
Algeria and Tunisia also shared the method people used to express their unhappiness: young people taking to the streets, throwing petrol bombs and stones at police, and ransacking buildings.
This may be because in both countries there is only limited political discourse and no vibrant opposition through which people can channel their grievances.
But here the two sets of protests diverge.
In Algeria, it was a limited flare-up of built-up frustration about tough living conditions with no far-reaching political implications.
In Tunisia, the unrest is turning into a challenge to the rule of President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali.
"It's the first time there's been a major disturbance of this kind in Tunisia, and it's a warning to the president of the danger of creating a totally unnecessary dictatorship," said Mr Joffe.
"He needs to think very carefully about how he proceeds with his policies from here," he added.
In Tunisia, the protests' initial focus was youth unemployment and police heavy-handedness, but animosity towards Ben Ali, who has run the country since 1987, has turned into a constant theme.
A video circulating on social media websites used by opponents of the Tunisian government on Monday showed a group of men trying to set fire to a poster of Ben Ali - similar to the ones which hang in every shop and public building in Tunisia.
Discussion threads about Tunisia on Twitter, another social networking tool, are full of rhetoric aimed at the president.
"Ben Ali, do you see the wave that will sweep you away?" said one post. "Ben Ali must be held accountable," said another.
A third post said: "Let us turn the protests/uprising in Tunisia into the first socio-political revolution powered by social networks."
Next door in Algeria, very few of the rioters articulated any political demands; they were just angry about sharp rises in the price of sugar and cooking oil.
The government, with deep pockets from the export of oil and gas, quickly said it would curb price rises, and since then the rioting has tapered off.
Algeria has already had its "people power revolution" - the year after Ben Ali took office.
Then, days of intense rioting in the capital led the authorities to loosen controls on society and the economy, allowing private newspapers and multi-party elections for the first time.
That flowering of freedom quickly degenerated into a conflict between security forces and Islamist rebels which killed 200,000 people, according to some estimates, from which Algeria is still emerging.
After that experience, few Algerians have any appetite for any more political transformations.
By contrast, Tunisia has been a model of stability and has only had two heads of state since independence from France.
Some of the young Tunisians clashing with police over the past few days feel it is their turn to try a revolution.

Question: A former Communist-era prison commander has been sentenced to 20 years in jail after being convicted of crimes against humanity in the first such trial in Romania.

Alexandru Visinescu, 89, ran the notorious Ramnicu Sarat prison from 1956 to 1963, where inmates were allegedly tortured and starved.
At least 12 people are said to have died as a result of the abuse.
Mr Visinescu denied the charges, saying he was just following orders.
Prosecutors had sought a 25-year sentence, arguing that Mr Visinescu oversaw an "extermination regime" at the Ramnicu Sarat prison camp in the east of the country.
Nicknamed "the prison of silence" because detainees were held in solitary confinement, the facility housed intellectuals, dissidents, priests and others deemed enemies of the Communist Party.
Mr Visinescu can appeal against the 20-year sentence handed down on Friday.
The court also ordered him - along with the finance and interior ministries - to pay â‚¬300,000 (Â£212,000; $328,000) compensation to descendants of prisoners who brought a civil lawsuit, according to Romania's state-run news agency Agerpres.
Mr Visinescu, whose trial began in September, is the first former prison commander to be jailed in Romania over abuses in the Communist-era justice system.
The trial of a second commander, Ion Ficior, who was in charge of the Periprava labour camp, began in April.
More than half a million Romanians were held as political prisoners in the 1950s as the country's Communist government sought to crush dissent.
An official report published in 2006 said between 500,000 and two million people were killed or persecuted by the former Communist authorities.
Communist leader Nicolae Ceausescu was toppled and executed in a bloody uprising in December 1989.

Anders Hoegstroem, a former neo-Nazi leader, admitted theft under a plea bargain last month and will be moved to Sweden to serve his sentence.
The infamous sign was stolen in December last year and recovered in three pieces three days later.
The judge in Krakow also jailed two Poles for up to two-and-a-half years.
One of the pair, named as Andrzej S, apologised in court for the offence, Polish media report.
The 5m (16ft) wrought-iron slogan which translates as "Work sets you free" is a potent symbol of many of the Nazi-era atrocities. During the Nazi Holocaust, 1.1 million people - most of them Jews - were murdered at Auschwitz.
The sign has since been repaired although it now hangs in the Auschwitz museum and has been replaced by a replica at the entrance to the former death camp.
Three other Poles were given prison terms earlier this year for the theft which was thought to have been ordered by another Swede still at large.  So far, no evidence of other individuals has come to light.
Hoegstroem, 34, who was detained in Sweden in February had at first denied involvement in stealing the sign but later changed his plea.
On being told the verdict, he said he accepted the court's decision.  He is now likely to be returned to Sweden in a week's time.

Question: Harlequins battled past French Top 14 side Grenoble to reach their fourth European Challenge Cup final.

Represent the news to retrieve its missing first sentence.

Quins, who will face either Montpellier or Newport Gwent Dragons in Lyon on 13 May, led 13-6 at half-time following Wales centre Jamie Roberts' touchdown.
Nick Evans then scored a try on his first appearance since breaking his leg in February to extend the hosts' lead.
George Lowe added a third to give Conor O'Shea a chance of silverware in what could be his final game as Quins boss.
The 45-year-old Irishman, who has been director of rugby since 2010, is leaving to become head coach of Italy in the summer.
With Harlequins' hopes of reaching the Premiership play-offs all but over already, O'Shea's swansong now looks set to come in the final of the competition he won with the club in 2011.
However, their semi-final victory was marred by an off-the-ball incident involving England prop Joe Marler, who appeared to kick Arnaud Heguy in the head while the Grenoble hooker was on the floor.
Marler, playing for the first time since serving a two-match ban for calling Wales forward Samson Lee a "Gypsy boy" during the Six Nations, was not sanctioned by referee John Lacey at the time but could yet be cited after it was picked up by television cameras.
In unseasonably cold and damp conditions at The Stoop, Quins looked in command from the moment Roberts crossed from close range inside the opening 11 minutes.
The highlight of the semi-final was fly-half Evans' second-half try, two minutes after his introduction from the bench to a superb ovation.
Victory leaves Harlequins, who have now won eight of their nine home matches against French opposition in the Challenge Cup, 80 minutes away from lifting the trophy for a record fourth time.
Harlequins: Brown; Yarde, Lowe, Roberts, Visser; Botica, Care (capt); Marler, Gray, Jones, Horwill, Twomey, Robshaw, Wallace, Easter.
Replacements: Ward, Lambert, Sinckler, Matthews, Clifford, Dickson, Evans, Chisholm.
Grenoble: Aplon; Mignot, Farrell, Hunt, Dupont; Wisniewski, McLeod; Taumalolo, Heguy, Edwards, Hand (capt), Percival, Diaby, Alexandre, Setephano.
Replacements: Jammes, Barcella, Desmaison, Marie, Vanderglas, Hart, Gengenbacher, Estebanez.
Referee: John Lacey (Ire).

Wasps topped the Premiership last season, as did French side La Rochelle in the Top 14.
Leinster face English champions Exeter, Montpellier and Glasgow while Munster go up against Racing 92, Leicester and Castres.
The first round of fixtures will be staged on 13-15 October.
"It's an exciting draw and quite a formidable pool," said Ulster director of rugby Les Kiss.
"We have to front up against three very good teams although one plus is that we don't have to travel as far as the last two seasons."
Ulster, who won the competition in 1999, have failed to make it out of the pool stage in the last three seasons.
Harlequins finished sixth in the Premiership last season while Ulster were fifth in the Pro12.
The sides met in the 2008/9 Heineken Cup with Harlequins winning at The Stoop before a Belfast victory for Ulster.
Defending champions Saracens have been drawn in the same pool as runners-up Clermont Auvergne.
The London club retained their title with a 28-17 win over the French side at Murrayfield last month.
