*TODAY IN HISTORY*

* On this day in 2013, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states after a series of deadly attacks by Islamist militant groups.

* On this day in 1948, Israel became an independent state. The announcement by Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, triggered a 10-month armed conflict known as the Arab-Israeli War of 1948. It started the day after the proclamation as troops of Egypt, Syria, Transjordan and Iraq invaded the young nation.
