Nazi monsters revealed as chilling rogues gallery of mugshots unearthed for first time in 70 YEARS

Otto Skorzeny was an Austrian lieutenant colonel in the SS most famous for overthrowing Mussolini

A chilling album of mugshots that helped bring scores of Nazi war criminals to justice has been unearthed more than 70 years later.

The gallery of Hitler's henchmen involved in the Holocaust was assembled by anAllied intelligence officer whose job was to interrogate the monsters.

A vital part of the questioning was to get them to provide an authentic signature to compare it with handwriting of Nazi officials who signed off orders for war atrocities.

This key evidence which helped convict the war criminals was one of the main reasons why so many Nazis tried to burn millions of documents as the Allies advanced on Berlin towards the end of the Second World War.

Irish father shot dead in a case of mistaken identity by gang men at Spanish holiday resort in front of his family (photos)

An Irish father was shot four times by gang boys at popular Spanish holiday resort, Majorca, in front of his family as his wife pushed their child’s pram beside him after unwittingly and unknowingly chatting with a member of the Hutch gang.

A source at the crime scene said to the Sun UK: “It looks like this guy was totally innocent. He chatted for a minute to a Hutch associate, little realizing who it was. Just the usual small talk conversation Irish people have when they meet for the first time on holidays.”

One local shop owner who did not wish to be named, described how she held the victim’s hand as he lay dying. She said:

 “There was a large group of them, the man who was shot, his wife, four of their children, and other adults including a male friend and two other women. There must have been around eight to ten of them in all. They were heading from a nearby hotel to a square where everyone congregates at night for an evening meal and a drink.

A 19-year-old made a free robot lawyer that helps the homeless get housing

For the homeless, applying for government housing can be a complicated process. Even if they do everything right, housing is not guaranteed. They need a strong case.

Depending on the case and lawyer, legal aid for a government housing application (a legal process where lawyers argue for free or low-cost accommodation) can cost between $65 to $200 - money that applicants don't necessarily have.

But with the help of a bot made by 19 year-old British programmer Joshua Browder, the application costs nothing and takes only about 30 seconds.

The online bot handles questions about government housing in the UK, where an estimated 185,000 people become homeless every year. Since the bot launched August 10, Browder tells Business Insider that several hundred people have used it.

Wounded Syrian boy whose harrowing image shocked the world breaks down the moment he is reunited with his mother - but 'had not shed a single tear' before then

A five-year-old boy who became a symbol of the horror and tragedy in Syria when a haunting image of him with blood and dust covering his face shocked the world has been reunited with his parents after they were separated in an air strike.

Omran Daqneesh sat dazed and confused when he was loaded into an ambulance after being pulled from the rubble of his home in Aleppo which was decimated in an air strike.

A nurse who treated the brave boy said Omran did not shed a single a tear until he laid eyes on his mother and father who joined him at the hospital a short time after his arrival, the ABC reported. 

Young Syrian boy Omran Daqneesh, aged five, was injured during air strikes in Aleppo

'He didn't say anything except to ask for his parents,' Abu Rajab from the Syrian American Medical Society said. 

'Only then once Omran saw them did he start crying.'

Another nurse said the young boy - who was pulled from the rubble an hour after the strike - was in a 'daze' when he arrived at the hospital, known as M10. 

'It was as if he was asleep. Not unconscious, but traumatized — lost,' said Mahmoud Abu Rajab according to the New York Post. 

Doctors feared the boy may have suffered internal injuries when he was pinned under the the remains of building, which collapsed an hour after he was rescued.

BEYONCE LOOK OUT BELOW! Crazy Yacht Diving

Beyonce isn't even living life on the edge anymore ... she's going right over it!

We got these shots of Bey and Jay Z balling out off the coast of Sardinia on their favorite rented super yacht, the Galactica Star. But instead of sunbathing or sipping bubbly ... Beyonce decided to go all daredevil and dive off the top deck.

Looks to be at least a 30-foot drop, and we think that's Jigga recording video from below. Maybe she was inspired by the Olympics ... or maybe she's making a quick escape.

'My family lived in fear of this man for years': The family of an Arab-American man killed by his neighbor speaks

Stanley Vernon Majors.

The family of a Lebanese-American man who was fatally shot by his neighbor last week released a statement revealing the killer's history of harassment, intimidation, and even physical assault against them.

Khalid Jabara of Tulsa was allegedly gunned down by his next-door neighbor, Stanley Vernon Majors, on the steps of Jabara's porch on Friday.

Majors had allegedly stalked members of Jabara's family for years, and once described them to police as "dirty Arab" and "filthy Lebanese." He also hurled Islamophobic epithets at the family, even though the Jabaras are Christian.

"Our brother's death could have been prevented. This man was a known danger," Jabara's sister Victoria wrote in the statement, published on Facebook on Monday.

Amy Tinkler becomes youngest British athlete to win at the Olympics at age 16

Great Britain's 16 year old Amy Tinkler is now Britain's youngest athlete to win a medal at the Olympics in 32 years, after she won Bronze at the women's floor exercise event on Tuesday. It is an astonishing rise for the teenager who just last month sat in a school hall to take her GCSE exams and will collect her results on the day she returns from Brazil.  Holding back tears after her win, she said:

'I can't believe it. I knew I was Team GB's youngest athlete but this is crazy and I'm still in shock at the minute. 'It was a bit nerve-wracking watching the other athletes and knowing you are so close to a medal but I would have been happy with wherever I was place.'  'I went out there and did my best and enjoyed it so whatever the result, I would have been happy. I really am speechless.

'I put no pressure on myself and neither did my coaches. They just told me I had nothing to lose and to go out and enjoy it. I had made the floor final at the Olympics and deserved to be in it so I enjoyed it. 'As soon as I finished my routine, I knew I couldn't do any better. 'It has been an incredible week for British gymnastics. Hopefully there is a lot more to come from me and you will see me back out here in 2020.'
