What is an interesting, major event in the news?

I need to do a 5 min. speech on some event that occurred within the past 18 months. The problem is that I need to be able to find 5 reliable news sources (preferrably websites or .gov or .edu sites work) for information about the event, so I can't just get something random off fark.com. Any ideas?

katrina? earth quake in pakistan? the ongoing war in iraq?

I forgot to mention that it can't be antyhing about the hurricane's becaue the teacher is tired of those topics from last semester. Also, it should be something that not everyone knows about, so the war on iraq won't work.

So you want a "major event in the news" that nobody knows about? 😕

I meant that I wanted an even that was major so that I can find 5 or more souces, but I didn't want it to be common knowledge to everyone. For example, most people know about about Iraq and the hurricanes even if they don't watch the news at all, so I can't really use those.

Sadly enough, the majority don't know the truth about the war in Iraq.

Well, I doubt I'm going to get the truth from news websites like MSNBC or whatever.
