Kate and Prince William get new coat of arms
Melbourne: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have got a new coat of arms that will represent them as a married couple, it has been revealed.

Both shields are supported by the royal lion and unicorn, each wearing a three pointed collar, known as a label.
Traditionally, the conjugal arms show the separate shields of a royal husband and wife, side by side.
The conjugal arms will be the pair’s coat of arms forever, but parts of it could change depending on their own circumstances and roles. (ANI)

Now, al-Qaeda joins Twitter bandwagon!
Washington: Al-Qaeda’s official website has reportedly opened its first account on microblogging site Twitter.
The Shamukh al-Islam website, restricted to members of the terrorist group and used as an official clearing house to communicate and issue propaganda statements, opened its @shomokhalislam Twitter account on Tuesday, which US officials said is an effort to resolve a major split over Syria’s Islamist rebels.
According to Fox News, the first posts of the account focused on divisions between two al-Qaeda rebel groups in Syria, al Nusra Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
The account posted 29 tweets, followed one account, and attracted 1,532 followers including some of the high-profile jihadists.
Counterterrorism analysts consider it as an indicator that terrorist groups are stepping up their use of social media over traditional Internet sites and internet is fast becoming a tool for online jihad, the report added. (ANI)
