(CNSNews.com) – The Muslim world suffered two major terrorist attacks over the weekend – in Turkey and Somalia – but the bloc of Islamic states found just one subject worthy of commenting on on Sunday – the "painful occasion" of the anniversary of a failed arson attempt at Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque almost half a century ago.
By the end of the weekend, the Saudi-based secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) had issued no public reaction to deadly suicide bombings targeting a wedding party in southeastern Turkey and a government building and market in central Somalia.
Gov. Charlie Baker on Friday signed into law a new series of protections for animals, including measures aimed at discouraging leaving pets in cars when temperatures grow extremely hot or cold.
Originally filed by Sen. Mark Montigny of New Bedford, the law will make clear that first-responders encountering a pet in a hot or cold car can break the window to rescue the animal from dangerous temperatures. Under the law, private citizens, too, can enter a car to release an animal in "imminent danger" if they make "reasonable efforts" to locate the owner, call 911, remain with the animal until a first responder arrives and do not use "more force than reasonably necessary to enter the motor vehicle."
