Lord Forsyth's scathing attackof the Scottish government's plans came as peers began committee stage scrutiny of the Scotland Bill, on 26 January 2012.
Stephen Starr, a freelance journalist who spent the past five years in Syria and is author of the book "Revolt in Syria, " said the attack signals a new stage in the conflict.
The motives for the attack remain unclear at this stage but the assailant is thought to have been related to some of his victims, who include a couple, the general prosecutor said.
After Burnley's fast start, Vale, one of only six sides from the fourth tier still alive at the third round stage, equalised with virtually their first attack.
