EU will Internet und Mobiltelefone anzapfen

Brüssel (Belgien), 26.10.2009 – Ein Bericht, der unbeabsichtigt im Internet als PDF-Dokument mit Datum vom 30. Juni 2009 veröffentlicht wurde, liefert Einsichten in ein heimlichtuerisches Projekt der Europäischen Union, das darauf ausgerichtet ist, die Bürger zu überwachen, wie Wikileaks am 4. Oktober berichtete. Das Projekt INDECT zielt auf die Ausspähung von Daten der Fernseh- und Internetnutzung, Kommunikation per Mobiltelefon, Peer-to-Peer-Netzwerke, Datenaustausch und gemeinsame Datennutzung (file-sharing) und eine Reihe anderer Quellen zur Kriminalprävention und der Voraussage möglicher Bedrohungsszenarien. Auf ihrer Projektseite im Internet gibt die EU als Hauptziel des international koordinierten Vorhabens die Entwicklung einer Plattform für „die Registrierung und den Austausch operationaler Daten, die Aneignung multimedialer Inhalte, deren intelligente Verarbeitung und automatisierte Aufdeckung von Bedrohung und die Erkennung abnormalen Verhaltens oder von Gewalt“ an. Das 14,68-Millionen-Euro-Projekt begann im Januar 2009 und soll laut der gegenwärtigen Genehmigung fünf Jahre dauern.

INDECT ist ein Kunstwort, das eine Abkürzung für „Extraction of Information for Crime Prevention by Combining Web Derived Knowledge and Unstructured Data“ darstellt (übersetzt etwa: „Gewinnung von Information zur Kriminalprävention durch Kombination webbasierter Erkenntnisse und unstrukturierter Daten“). Dieses Projekt ist zwar für die unbeabsichtigte Veröffentlichung des Berichts verantwortlich, es führt aber nicht alle möglichen Anwendungen der Such- und neuen Überwachungstechnologie auf. Die Polizei gilt als primärer Nutznießer der Daten, polnische und britische Streitkräfte gelten als aktive Entwickler des Überwachungsprojekts. INDECT fußt auf dem Forschungsrahmenprogramm der Europäischen Kommission (FP7), an dem Bulgarien, Deutschland, Frankreich, Ungarn, Österreich, Polen, die Slowakei, Spanien, die Tschechische Republik und das Vereinigte Königreich teilnehmen.

Wie sich bereits in dem Bericht von dem ersten Probeversuch des Projekts andeutet, ist der Anwendungsbereich der so gewonnenen Daten recht breit; dazu gehörte eine tageweise Erfassung der im Internet verbreiteten Nachrichten in digitaler Form einschließlich der Nutzerzugriffe; auch Aufzeichnungen telefonischer Unterhaltungen gehören dazu. Wochenlange Aufzeichnungen der Nutzung von Inhalten aus Onlinequellen beinhaltet die Ausspähung von Benutzern und ihrer Artikelthemen sowie ihrer Beziehungen mit anderen Benutzern, Organisationen und die Ausspähung projektinterner Abläufe.

Die Kennzeichnung digitaler Medien und geistigen Eigentums wie Filmen, Audiowerken oder anderer Dokumente mit digitalen Wasserzeichen wird als Aufgabenbereich des Projekts INDECT diskutiert; Zweck der Übung ist es, die Verbreitung dieser Informationen nachzuverfolgen und in die bereits gesammelten Datenbeständen zu integrieren, den Fluss dieser Informationen innerhalb des Systems der Medien und überall durch das Internet aufzuspüren.

Technologische Forschung als Teil des Projekts INDECT wendet sich klar gegen industrielle und internationale Spionage, obwohl die Möglichkeiten des Projekts zur Gewährleistung von „Sicherheit“ und der Voraussage von Informationslecks viel weitgehender sind. Dazu ein Zitat aus dem Daily Telegraph (Großbritannien). Shami Chakrabarti beschreibt eine mögliche zukünftige Implementierung von INDECT als einen „finsteren Schritt“ mit „positiver Abschreckung“ und europaweiten Auswirkungen.

„Es ist unvermeidlich, dass das Projekt eine sensible Dimension besitzt, die aus dem Focus auf Sicherheitsziele des Projekts resultiert“, antwortete Suresh Manandhar, führender Kopf der Forschungsgruppe an der Universität von York, die mit dem „Work Package 4“, einer INDECT-Komponente, befasst ist, auf Anfrage von Wikinews. „Jedenfalls ist es wichtig, sich bewusst zu machen dass die wissenschaftlichen Methoden viel allgemeiner sind und breitere Anwendungsmöglichkeiten besitzen. Das Projekt wird sehr wahrscheinlich ein großes kommerzielles Potenzial entwickeln. Es verfügt über einen Ethikrat, der die Aktivitäten des Projekts überwacht. Als verantwortungsbewusste Wissenschaftler ist es für uns von größter Bedeutung, dass wir uns an ethischen Grundsätzen orientieren.“

Wikinews-Benutzer haben zwar versucht, Professorin Helen Petrie von der „York University“, die Mitglied des Ethik-Komitees von INDECT ist, zu kontaktieren, haben aber keine Antwort erhalten. Die Professorin beschäftigt sich schwerpunktmäßig mit Universal Access. Außerdem hat sie einige Aufsätze zum Thema Barrierefreies Internet verfasst, d.h. darüber, wie das Web auch für blinde und behinderte Menschen nutzbar gemacht werden kann. Eine vollständige Liste der Mitglieder des Ethikausschusses ist nicht verfügbar, wodurch die Tauglichkeit der Besetzung des Gremiums nicht beurteilt werden kann.

Eine mögliche Anwendung des INDECT-Projekts wäre die Implementierung und Umsetzung des Handbuchs des Verteidigungsministeriums des Vereinigten Königreiches für Fragen der Sicherheit (U.K. „MoD Manual of Security“). Das  2.389 Seiten lange Dokument aus dem Jahr 2001, das in diesem Monat auf Wikileaks veröffentlicht wurde und gemeinhin unter der Bezeichnung „JSP-440“ (Joint Services Protocol 440) bekannt ist, ist als „geheim“ klassifiziert und befasst sich sehr genau damit, wie, im Falle einer ernsthaften Bedrohung, investigative Journalisten überwacht und ihre Arbeit effizient durchkreuzt werden kann; genau das Szenario, das im INDECT-Projekt-Video dargestellt wird.

Von Wikinews auf die möglichen Implikationen der Nutzung von INDECT angesprochen, lehnte ein Vertreter der Generalstaatsanwaltschaft der britischen Regierung eine Stellungnahme bezüglich der denkbaren rechtlichen Standards ab, die zur Überprüfung eines solchen Systems heranzuziehen wären. Weitere Anfragen im Vereinigten Königreich sind noch im Gang, so bei der Polizeibehörde von Nordirland, die bisher noch nicht beantwortet wurden.

Wikinews-Benutzer Brian McNeil kontaktierte Eddan Katz, International Affairs Director der Electronic Frontier Foundation (E.F.F.). Das letzte Mal sprach Katz gegenüber Wikinews Anfang des Jahres 2008 über Copyright. Damals hatte er gerade seine aktuelle Stelle bei der E.F.F. angenommen. Er kehrte nach Brüssel zurück, um mit EU-Mitarbeitern zu sprechen. Das Projekt INDECT stand dabei auch auf seiner Agenda – nachdem er nur zwei Wochen zuvor davon gehört hatte. Katz verband das Projekt INDECT mit dem September-Bericht NeoConopticon — The EU Security-Industrial Complex, der von Ben Hayes für das Transnational Institute geschrieben wurde. Der Bericht wirft ernste Fragen über die starke Verstrickung von Verteidigungs- und IT-Firmen in die „Sicherheitsforschung“ auf.

Katz beantwortete ein paar Fragen für Wikinews.

Der EU-Bericht, auf den sich Katz bezieht, wurde sechs Tage vor den Anschlägen vom 11. September 2001 ratifiziert, bei denen die Zwillingstürme des World Trade Centers zum Einsturz gebracht wurden. In ihrer Analyse des US-Spionagesystems Echelon heißt es: „Im Prinzip fallen Aktivitäten und Schritte zum Zweck der Staatssicherheit oder Strafverfolgung nicht in den Bereich des EU-Vertrags.“

Anlass der Analyse von Echelon waren Gerüchte über „kommerziellen Missbrauch“ der Geheimdienste: „Wenn ein Mitglied des Staates den Gebrauch eines Abhörsystems vorantreiben sollte, das auch zur Industriespionage verwendet wurde, indem er seinem eigenen Geheimdienst erlauben würde, solch ein System zu benutzen oder fremden Geheimdiensten Zugang zu seinem Territorium zu diesem Zweck gewähren würde, wäre das unzweifelhaft ein Bruch des EU-Rechts. […] Aktivitäten dieser Art würden dem Konzept eines gemeinsamen Markts, der den EU-Vertrag untermauert, diametral entgegenstehen, da es zu einer Wettbewerbsverzerrung kommen würde.“

In Ben Hayes' NeoConoptiocon-Bericht steht in einem der letzten Abschnitte („Following the money“): „Was in der Praxis passiert, ist, dass multinationale Kooperationen das ESRP [European Seventh Research Programme] nutzen, um ihre eigene, von Profit getriebene Agenda voranzubringen, während die EU das Programm benutzt, um ihre eigene Ziele in der Sicherheits- und Verteidigungspolitik weiterzuentwickeln. Wie es von vornherein in diesem Bericht suggeriert wird, repräsentiert diese Art von Sicherheit, wie sie oben beschrieben wird, die Heirat von unkontrollierter Polizeigewalt mit ungezügeltem Kapitalismus – auf Kosten des demokratischen Systems.“

Zu Gesetzen zur Privatsphäre und zum Datenschutz, die auf EU-Ebene eingeführt wurden, heißt es: „[So etwas] gehört nicht zur ‚Verarbeitung von Daten/Aktivitäten, die die öffentliche Sicherheit, Verteidigung, Staatssicherheit (einschließlich das ökonomische Wohlergehen des Staates, wenn sich die Aktivitäten auf Staatssicherheitsangelegenheiten beziehen) und Aktivitäten des Staates in Gebieten des Kriminalrechts betreffen‘.“


Litigation for Varanasi Heritage intensifies

On Thursday, the Allahabad High Court in India published a key judgment relating to the the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) suit  filed by the Kautilya Society, an Indian public interest organization, that accuses the State of Uttar Pradesh of  negligence in protecting the heritage of the historic city of Varanasi. The dispute is increasingly polarising public opinion.

In the Court hearing of 8th November, the Varanasi Development Authority was supposed to explain why it compounded the four-floor new construction section in the rear portion of the historic Darbhanga Palace in Munshi Ghat, in spite of a law specifically prohibiting construction within 200 metres from the river Ganges.

The agenda was changed  when the lawyer of Darbhanga Palace owners, the Aggarwal family, requested the Court to completely dismiss the PIL on the ground that the Varanasi administration had lodged two FIRs (i.e. criminal reports) against the Kautilya Society.

Vrinda Dar, in her role of Society Secretary, claimed that the FIRs  had no connection with facts but are falsities for misinforming the public of Varanasi. She asked the Court to order an independent investigation on the allegations, so that she may receive protection from  what she calls an "institutional harassment".


Si fa sempre più dura la battaglia legale per la protezione del patrimonio di Varanasi

Nell'udienza dell'8 novembre 2013, la Corte d'appello di Allahabad[1], India, ha preso in esame le due denunce penali presentate dal Distretto di Varanasi contro la Kautilya Society[1] e contro Vrinda Dar, i due firmatari del PIL[1] (Petizione di interesse pubblico)  per la protezione del patrimonio architettonico nella città di Varanasi. (numero del PIL:31229 of 2005)

La discussione delle due denunce (FIR[1]) ha comportato la modifica dell'ordine del giorno dell’udienza dell’8 Novembre, convocata per dare la possibilitá al VDA (Autority per lo sviluppo di Varanasi) di rispondere ai richiami formulati nei suoi confronti dalla Corte, nell'ordinanza del 9 ottobre 2013.
Il VDA deve rispondere sulle motivazioni per le quali ha concesso di sanare amministrativamente la nuova costruzione realizzata nell’ala posteriore del Darbhanga Palace a Munshi Ghat[1],  sulla riva del Gange, nonostante la legge dello Stato dell’Uttar Pradesh vieti nuove costruzioni nell’arco di 200 metri dalla riva del fiume Gange.

In occasione dell'udienza dell'8 novembre scorso, Vrinda Dar - nel suo doppio ruolo di Segretario di Kautilya Society e di relatrice della petizione, ha presentato una dichiarazione giurata in cui afferma che le Autoritá di Varanasi stanno creando un clima di intimidazione nei confronti suoi e dell'attivitá svolta da Kautilya Society. Nella sua denuncia alla Corte fa notare che i procedimenti legali avviati contro di lei contengono falsità che hanno l'obiettivo di disinformare il pubblico e deviare l'attenzione della Corte di Allahabad.

Nell’udienza dell’8 novembre scorso, Vrinda Dar ha quindi chiesto alla Corte di ordinare un'indagine indipendente in modo da essere protetta da quelle che, secondo lei, sono vere e proprie intimidazioni da parte di organi istituzionali.

I giudici Ashok Bhushan e Arun Tandon hanno aggiornato l’udienza al prossimo 18 dicembre, dando ai due contendenti tre settimane di tempo per rispondere per iscritto alle rispettive accuse.

In attesa dell'udienza, Vrinda Dar ha pubblicato un'intervista video su You Tube, in cui spiega l’evoluzione della petizione e i motivi per i quali, secondo lei,  le autorità di Varanasi, che all'inizio avevano supportato la sua attività per la salvaguardia del patrimonio architettonico della città, cercano ora di intimidirla. Ha anche pubblicato due posts sul blog "Banaras Biradari"[1] in cui risponde alle accuse e spiega quali siano, a suo parere, i motivi per cui viene diffamata e perseguitata.

La stampa indiana per molto tempo ha dato ampio sostegno agli sforzi della Kautilya Society di opporsi alla negligenza dell'Amministrazione di Varanasi e di far rispettare la legislazione a protezione del patrimonio architettonico della città. Ora la stampa ha dato ampia risonanza alle denunce presentate contro di lei, mettendo in dubbio che Vrinda Dar sia davvero quell'eroica avvocata dei diritti civili che molti avevano creduto.
C'è quindi attesa a Varanasi sul pronunciamento della Corte di Allahabad. Ma considerando la diffidenza della gente nelle Istituzioni, c'è il rischio che le voci di piazza siano più ascoltate di quelle dei Giudici togati e dell'impegno per la verità di molti giornalisti.

A Varanasi, comunque, c'è un consenso generale sul fatto che, da quando la Kautilya Society si è rivolta al Tribunale di Allahabad per denunciare le illegalità compiute nel centro storico, l’abusivismo edilizio è diminuito drasticamente. I cittadini di Varanasi si stanno mobilitando per esigere che siano consultati su come proteggere il patrimonio architettonico del centro storico.
Come lamentava il proprietario di una piccola pensione, "O si cambia la legge per tutti, o la legge sia applicata per tutti allo stesso modo! Quello che sta accadendo, invece, è che le grandi imprese vogliono mantenere le attuali restrizioni per la maggioranza dei cittadini; mentre loro corrompono i funzionari pubblici per raggirarle. Le leggi ora sono valide solo per chi non paga sottobanco i controllori! E questo crea un circolo vizioso di corruzione e concorrenza sleale ".

Vrinda Dar, in quanto cittadina italiana,  ha inoltre scritto al Consolato italiano di New Delhi per denunciare il fatto che lei, e gli altri due italiani che sono membri della direzione di Kautilya Society, sono oggetto di vessazioni da parte di istituzioni indiane, chiedendo aiuto e protezione. Il Consolato ha detto che in questa fase non può intervenire, ma ha raccomandato di essere informato sull’evoluzione delle indagini e dei processi.

Local al-Qaida leader killed in eastern Yemen

Yemeni local al-Qaida leader Abdullah Mehdar has been killed in a raid of his home in the Shabwah province. Four more men were arrested at the alleged al-Houta-area cell commander's house while several more escaped.

Shabwah Governor Ali Hassan al-Ahmadi told journalists that security forces had entered the Mehdar house and killed him on site. Abdullah Mehdar was added to Yemen's "List of the most wanted" by the Yemeni Interior Ministry earlier today.

Military annalists say that other commanders of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula may be hiding in Shabwah. The group are the suspected perpetrators of the failed bombing of Northwest Airlines Flight 253.


Yémen : un chef local d'Al-Qaïda tué lors d'un raid

Le chef yéménite d'Al-Qaïda, Abdullah Mehdar, a été tué mardi soir lors d'un raid de l'armée sur sa résidence, à Houta, dans la province de Shabwah, dans l'est du pays. Durant l'opération, quatre des partisans de Mehdar ont été arrêtés, alors que plusieurs autres sont parvenus à s'échapper.

Le gouverneur de Shabwah, Ali Hassan al-Ahmadi, a précisé aux journalistes que les forces de sécurité ont pénétré dans la maison du dirigeant, et l'ont abattu sur place. Plus tôt dans la journée, Abdullah Mehdar, âgé de 47 ans, avait été ajouté sur la liste des terroristes yéménites les plus recherchés, publiée par le ministère de l'Intérieur.

Les analystes militaires estiment que les autres commandants d'Al-Qaïda dans la péninsule arabique[1] se sont également réfugiés dans la province de Shabwah. Le groupe est suspecté d'avoir perpétré la tentative d'attentat du vol 253 de la Northwest Airlines, entre Amsterdam et Détroit.


Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi released on compassionate grounds

Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, the only individual convicted in connection with the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 in 1988, has been released by Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill, on compassionate grounds.

Megrahi is suffering from terminal prostate cancer and will be allowed to return to his home country of Libya.

270 people were killed when, on December 21, 1988, the Pan-Am flight from London's Heathrow Airport to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport was destroyed by a bomb whilst in flight over southern Scotland.

A police convoy escorted Megrahi from his former prison home in HMP Greenock to Glasgow Airport, where he boarded an Afriqiyah Airways flight to Tripoli. He was told he could not remain in Scotland on security grounds.

In announcing the release on compassionate grounds, Justice Secretary MacAskill stated, "Al-Megrahi now faces a sentence imposed by a higher power. It is one that no court in any jurisdiction could revoke or overrule. It is terminal, final and irrevocable. He is going to die".

The conviction remains controversial. Last year then-president of US group Victims of Pan Am Flight 103 told Wikinews that the vast majority were satisfied in Megrahi's guilt. UK Families Flight 103 painted a very different picture to Wikinews of the opinions in Britain: "UK Families have different views about Megrahi's guilt or innocence.  Certainly some, including my husband and I, believe that we are not in a position to make a judgment about whether he was involved in some way or not," said group coordinator Jean Berkley, whose son was killed. "Much of the evidence at the trial was circumstantial and confusing and it is a fact that the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission, after considering the matter for three years, came to the conclusion that there were grounds for appeal. The UK families are united in believing that the full independent inquiry for which we have been asking since 1989 should now take place, to deal with the many unanswered questions and enable the evidence which would have emerged from the now abandoned appeal to be made public." This is in sharp contrast to The Daily Telegraph, which earlier reported that the majority of British families felt Megrahi was innocent.

The United States government had been strongly opposed to any possible release. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had previously called the possibility "absolutely wrong". MacAskill sought to justify the decision by commenting that "Compassion and mercy are about upholding the beliefs th[at] we seek to live by, remaining true to our values as a people - no matter the severity of the provocation or the atrocity perpetrated."

Megrahi issued a statement shortly before leaving HMP Greenock in which he maintained his innocence. "The remaining days of my life are being lived under the shadow of the wrongness of my conviction. I have been faced with an appalling choice: to risk dying in prison in the hope that my name is cleared posthumously or to return home still carrying the weight of the guilty verdict, which will never now be lifted. The choice which I made is a matter of sorrow, disappointment and anger, which I fear I will never overcome," said Megrahi.

Robert Gibbs, press secretary for the White House, said "The United States deeply regrets the decision by the Scottish Executive to release Abdel Basset Mohamed al-Megrahi. As we have expressed repeatedly to officials of the government of the United Kingdom and to Scottish authorities, we continue to believe that Megrahi should serve out his sentence in Scotland." Many US victims have also reacted with anger.

Many US victims' families have reacted with anger. One relative commented that "This might sound crude or blunt, but I want him returned from Scotland the same way my wife Lorraine was and that would be in a box." Dr. Jim Swire, a UK victim, disagreed, saying Megrahi had "nothing to do with" the disaster and calling the earlier dropping of the appeal "a blow to those of us who seek the truth."

Megrahi's plane was greeted by crowds in Tripoli waving both Libyan and Scottish flags. Seif al-Islam, son of Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi, held his hand as he exited the aircraft amid heavy security. Loudspeakers broadcast patriotic music and it is reported that celebrations are ongoing in Tripoli.


Les Américains contre la libération du Libyen Al-Megrahi

L’admission d’Abdelbaset Ali Al-Megrahi à une libération fondée sur des considérations humanitaires suscite de nombreuses réactions à travers le monde. Cet agent des services secrets libyens condamné en rapport avec l’attentat contre le vol 103 de la PANAM au-dessus de l’Écosse soufre, selon les médecins, d’un cancer de la prostate en phase terminale. Al-Megrahi a déjà passé huit ans en prison pour cet attentat qui a causé la mort des 259 passagers à bord et de 11 personnes au sol.

Bien avant sa libération, la nouvelle avait suscité de vives réactions, surtout au niveau des familles des victimes américaines. Nombreux sont en effet ceux qui estiment qu’une personne condamnée pour avoir causé la mort de 270 innocents ne devrait faire l’objet d’aucune compassion.

Tout en condamnant l’attentat de Lockerbie qu’il a qualifié de crime haineux, le ministre écossais de la justice, Kenny McAskill. estime qu’il y a lieu de tenir compte de certaines considérations humanitaires. Il se dit conscient que sa décision serait contestée.

La Maison-Blanche a exprimé de « profonds regrets » à l’annonce de M. McAskill. La secrétaire d’État Hillary Clinton a, de son côté, invité les autorités écossaises à ne pas libérer Al- Megrahi. Elle a publié un communiqué dans lequel elle se déclare profondément déçue et exprime sa sympathie aux familles ayant perdu des êtres chers dans l’attentat de 1988.  Sept sénateurs américains ont écrit au gouvernement écossais dans le même sens.

Abdelbaset Ali Mohameit Al-Megrahi a toujours proclamé son innocence et a interjeté appel deux fois.  C’en l’an dernier qu’on lui a découvert un cancer de la prostate et, de l’avis des experts, il ne lui reste quelques mois à vivre.


லாக்கர்பி விமானக் குண்டுத் தாக்குதல் குற்றவாளி விடுதலை

வியாழன், ஆகத்து 20, 2009, ஸ்கொட்லாந்து:

ஸ்கொட்லாந்தில் இருபது ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்னார் லாக்கர்பி நகருக்கு மேலாக பயணிகள் விமானம் ஒன்றை குண்டுவைத்துத் தகர்த்ததற்காக சிறையிலிடப்பட்டிருந்த, அப்டல் பசட் அல் மெஃராஹி என்னும் நபர் விடுதலை செய்யப்பட்டு, தனது நாடான லிபியாவுக்கு விமானத்தில் சென்றார்.

Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins sentenced to 29 years in prison for attempting to rape baby

Ian Watkins, frontman of Welsh rock group Lostprophets, was sentenced to 29 years in prison yesterday for his involvement in a series of sex-related offences involving children. He pleaded guilty to offences including attempted rape and sexual assault, conspiracy to rape a child, sexual assault of a child, possession of indecent images of children, and possession of an extreme pornographic image involving sex with an animal.

Watkins had pleaded guilty to the offences along with two others, the mothers of two of the children he abused. The two women — who are being kept anonymous to protect the identity of their children — were jailed for 14 and 17 years respectively.

Watkins is to be eligible for release after two-thirds of his prison sentence, and is to spend six years on licence.

Mr Justice Royce, in his sentencing remarks, said the actions of the defendants "plunged new depths of depravity". He also said: "Any decent person looking at and listening to the material here will experience shock; revulsion; anger and incredulity."

The sentencing remarks detail text messages sent between Watkins and one of the mothers planning to abuse children, as well as giving the infant in their care methyl amphetamines. The evidence, according to the judge, "is a dreadful catalogue of abuse of a previously innocent boy to satisfy your own interests and lusts." In other communications, Watkins planned to turn the life of the other defendant's child into "a life of filth".

Detective Chief Inspector Peter Doyle from the South Wales Police said investigating Watkins' actions exposed him to "the most disturbing child abuse evidence" of his police career.

Following his guilty plea but before his sentencing, Watkins discussed his sentencing with a friend via telephone. The singer told his friend: "I'm going to put a statement on [December] 18th now just to say it was megalolz, I don't know what everyone is getting so freaked out about." Lolz is a variant form of LOL — laugh out loud.

He also told his friend: "You know I plead[sic] guilty just to avoid a trial, not realising 'Hang on, that makes me look a bit guilty' but I would never harm anybody." Watkins' "mega lolz" comment was the front page story today in the taboid newspaper The Sun.

Investigation into Watkins' activities continue, as do attempts to seek more possible victims. There are also investigations going on by the Independent Police Complaints Commission into how police failed to pick up on Watkins' activities before 2012.


Il cantante Ian Watkins condannato per pedofilia

Il 18 dicembre 2013, Ian Watkins, cantante del gruppo alternative metal gallese Lostprophets, è stato condannato a 35 anni di carcere, sei dei quali da scontare in libertà vigilata, con l'accusa di pedofilia.

La condanna è arrivata pochi giorni dopo la notizia che Watkins si era dichiarato colpevole delle accuse a lui mosse, confessando l'abuso di minorenni, di cui uno di soli 16 mesi, e la produzione e lo spaccio di materiale pedopornografico.

Oltre a Watkins, sono state condannate anche due delle madri dei bambini che hanno subito abusi da Watkins. Le donne sono state condannate rispettivamente a 14 e 16 anni per aver favorito gli abusi di Watkins sui loro figli.


Macedonian police kill four militants in mountain operation

At least four members of an armed criminal group have been killed and six arrested in a police action dubbed "Mountain Storm," Macedonian Interior Ministry spokesman Ivo Kotevski told the MIA state news agency. He said no police officers were injured and confirmed special forces were still in the area.

Locals from the village of Brodec, a Šar Mountain village north of Tetovo, have confirmed a shootout between police and armed groups in the village.

A spokesman for NATO peacekeepers in neighbouring Kosovo told a news conference a helicopter had crashed but there was no information on casualties. Macedonian police denied that report. "There is no helicopter down on the Macedonian side," spokesman Ivo Kotevski told Reuters.

Local media reported that police are searching for Lirim Jakupi (also known as "Nazi"), a convicted criminal who escaped with seven other men in a violent break-out from Kosovo`s Dubrava Prison in August and is believed to be hiding in the area. Last week Xhavid Morina, another escaped convict from Dubrava Prison, was found dead near Odri, a village close to Tetovo. Also, in October, a Macedonian policeman was killed in an ambush near the border with Kosovo and Croatian TV aired a video showing Albanian militants threatening actions in Kosovo.

Several media reported that KFOR has closed the border towards Macedonia, in the part of Kosovo, due to the police operation at Šar Mountain. KFOR troops are heavily armed and ready to shoot in case of "conflict spillover at Kosovo territory," media report.

The operation was announced over at 14:00 local time.

The clashes took place in the part of Macedonia which saw bitter ethnic clashes in 2001.


משטרת מקדוניה הרגה ארבעה אנשי-מיליציה במבצע הררי

לפחות ארבעה חברים במיליציה בלתי-חוקית נהרגו ושישה נוספים נעצרו במבצע משטרתי שזכה לכינוי "סופה בהר", כך דיווח דובר משרד הפנים המקדוני, איבו קוטבסקי, לסוכנות הידיעות המקדונית MIA. הוא סיפר כי כוחות המשטרה לא ספגו נפגעים ואישר כי כוחות מיוחדים עודם פועלים באיזור.

מקומיים תושבי הכפר ברודץ', כפר על הר הסאר צפונית לטטובו, אימתו את הידיעות על חילופי-אש שהתפתחו בין כוחות-המשטרה ואנשי-המיליציה בכפר.

דובר כוחות שמירת השלום של NATO בקוסובו השכנה אמר במסיבת עיתונאים כי מסוק התרסק אך לא סיפק מידע נוסף בנוגע לנפגעים. משטרת מקדוניה הכחישה דיווח זה. "אין כל מסוק מרוסק בצד המקדוני", קבע הדובר איבו קוטבסקי בשוחחו עם כתב סוכנות הידיעות רויטרס.

המשטרה המקומית דיווחה כי המשטרה מחפשת אחר לירים ג'אקופי (הנודע גם בשם "נאצי"), פושע מורשע שנמלט באוגוסט יחד עם שבעה אסירים אחרים בכוח מבית-הסוהר דובראבה אשר בקוסובו ונחשד כמסתתר באיזור. בשבוע שעבר, ז'אביד מורינה, אסיר נמלט אחר מבית-הסהור דובראבה, נמצא מת בסמוך לאודרי, כפר המצוי בקירבת מקום לטטובו. בנוסף, באוקטובר, איש-משטרה מקדוני נהרג מאש המארב בסמוך לגבול עם קוסובו והטלוויזיה הקרואטית העלתה לאוויר סרטון וידאו המראה אנשי-מיליציה אלבנים המאיימים לבצע פעולות אלימות בקוסובו.

מספר כלי-תקשורת דיווחו כי KFOR סגר את הגבולות לכיוון מקדוניה, באיזור קוסובו, וזאת בשל פעולות המשטרה בהר סאר. כוחות KFOR חמושים בכבדות ונכונים לפתוח באש בכול מקרה של "זליגת העימותים לשטחי קוסובו", כך דווח.

Madoff jailed after pleading guilty to $50 billion fraud scheme

US financier Bernard Madoff, the former chairman of the Nasdaq stock index, has been jailed after pleading guilty to all 11 charges of fraud, money laundering, and perjury surrounding a US$50 billion Ponzi scheme.

"I'm deeply sorry and ashamed," the financier stated during a speech in the New York court. "I believed it would end quickly and I would extricate myself and my clients. This proved difficult and, in the end, impossible."

Some of Madoff's victims applauded when the former was handcuffed by officers and taken out of the courtroom to a holding cell where he will await sentencing. Madoff is facing 150 years behind bars, with no chance of parole. Sentencing is set for June 16.

Among the charges that Madoff plead guilty to were four counts of fraud, three counts of money laundering, perjury, and making false statements, among others.

Judge Denny Chin of Federal District Court ordered that Madoff be remanded as he was awaiting a sentence, rather than letting him out on bail and allowing him to return to his apartment in Manhattan. "He has incentive to flee, he has the means to flee, and thus he presents the risk of flight," the judge said. "Bail is revoked."

Il finanziere statunitense Bernard Madoff, 72 anni, ex presidente del Nasdaq, è stato tradotto in carcere dopo essersi dichiarato colpevole di tutte le undici accuse di frode, riciclaggio di denaro e spergiuro riguardanti uno schema Ponzi di 50 miliardi di dollari.

«Sono profondamente dispiaciuto e colmo di vergogna», ha affermato il finanziere durante un'audizione presso il tribunale di New York. «Ho creduto che questa storia potesse finire presto, tirandone fuori me e i miei clienti. Ma è stato difficile e, alla fine, si è rivelato impossibile».

Alcune delle vittime di Madoff hanno applaudito quando l'imputato è stato arrestato dai funzionari ed è stato portato fuori dall'aula per essere tradotto nella cella dove attenderà la sentenza. Madoff rischia 150 anni di carcere, senza alcuna possibilità di libertà condizionale. La sentenza dovrebbe arrivare il 16 giugno.

Tra le accuse di cui Madoff si è dichiarato colpevole vi sono quattro accuse di frode, tre di riciclaggio di denaro, spergiuro e falsa testimonianza.

Il giudice Denny Chin del Federal District Court ha ordinato che Madoff attenda la sentenza in carcere, in custodia cautelare, rigettando l'ipotesi di un rilascio su cauzione, che gli avrebbe permesso di ritornare nel suo appartamento a Manhattan. «Madoff ha incentivi per rendersi irreperibile alla giustizia, ha i mezzi per farlo e per questo credo presenti il rischio di una fuga», ha detto il giudice. «Per questo la cauzione è revocata».


Madrid bombing suspect arrested in Belgrade

Abdelmajid Bouchar, a March 2004 Madrid terrorist attack suspect, was arrested in Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro, the Ministry for Internal Affairs said yesterday.

He was arrested on June 23rd after he allegedly presented forged Iraqi identity documentation with a name "Midhat Salah" during a routine check by Serbian police. He is currently held in a prison in Padinska skela, near Belgrade.

Spanish interior minister, Jose Antonio Alonso, said Spain will seek extradition. The man is accused of presenting false documents and immigration violations and is currently being held in Serbia.

The Interpol office in Madrid confirmed identity based on fingerprints.


マドリード爆破事件の容疑者、逮捕される

2004年3月にスペインの首都マドリードで起きた鉄道爆破事件の容疑者として、アブドルマヒド・バウチャー容疑者がセルビア・モンテネグロのベオグラードで逮捕されたと17日スペイン内務省が公表した。

アブドルマヒド・バウチャー容疑者はモロッコ国籍。6月23日に、偽名"Midhat Salah"を使用したイラクの身分証明書を、セルビア警察の巡回検査に際し提示したことから逮捕された。バウチャー容疑者は現在ベオグラードに近いパディンスカ・スケラに収監されている。

逮捕された男性は、現在セルビアにおいて、身分証明書偽造と不法入国で訴追されているが、スペインのホセ・アントニオ・アロンソ内相は、犯罪人引渡しを求めるつもりだと発表した。

マドリードの国際警察機構は、この男性の身元を指紋によって確認した。

Magnitogorsk apartment building collapses after explosion, dozens dead

An apartment building collapsed on Monday in Magnitogorsk, a city in the Ural region of Russia. A suspected gas leak led to an explosion, followed by the ten-storey building coming down. A total of 39 are confirmed dead, officials told state media, adding that rescuers ended their work yesterday. Some reports suggest a deliberate criminal act.

The 1973 building was home to over 1,000 people; 48 apartments were damaged. Rescuers, working in temperatures well below freezing, according to the emergencies ministry recovered at least ten survivors from the debris on Monday. The building was evacuated. Over 1,000 rescuers responded.

The Investigative Committee and the Federal Security Service (FSB) said they believe gas, which leaks relatively frequently in Russia, was the trigger for the disaster which occurred at 6am as many occupants slept. President Vladimir Putin was briefed, and flew to Magnitogorsk on Monday, observing the rescue mission and visiting the wounded in hospital. In a meeting that day he was told by Emergencies Minister Yevgeny Zinichev of "presumably between 36 and 40 people under the rubble", while Chelyabinsk regional Deputy Governor Oleg Klimov indicated 68 people were missing.

Search and rescue was suspended on Tuesday, with Zinichev describing the "real threat of [another] part of the building collapsing" as making it "impossible to continue working in such conditions", and work launched to stabilise the remaining structure. He estimated this would take 24 hours. Cranes were used to hoist workers into position to demolish sections deemed dangerous. Rescue work resumed on Wednesday, with additional bodies recovered increasing the confirmed death toll from fourteen to 31.

"The search and rescue operation is complete," Deputy Emergency Situations Minister Alexander Chupriyan told TASS on Wednesday. Chelyabinsk's governor has promised each victim will be subject to a payout of one million rubles.

Health Minister Veronika Skvortsova indicated on Monday the chances of those trapped being found alive were already diminishing. On Tuesday an eleven-month-old boy, identified only as Ivan, was rescued alive and flown to Moscow for treatment of injuries including frostbite, leg fractures, and head trauma. He was found under rubble, still in his cot after having been trapped for over 30 hours. Ivan's condition was on Wednesday reported to not be life-threatening.

The Emergencies Ministry said six deaths were of children.

On the night of Monday to Tuesday another explosion hit a gas-powered minibus in the city. Officials said three people died; their identities were not provided. Both explosions took place on Karl Marx Avenue, within two miles of each other.

The FSB denies the two explosions are related; reports describe speculation the disaster's cause was not in fact a gas leak. One news site, Znak.com, claims FSB sources have ascribed the explosion to terrorism. The Investigative Committee says it has found no trace of explosives despite Znak.com claiming an anonymous source described a second-floor apartment being used as an explosives depot ahead of a planned shopping centre bombing. Znak.com further reported its source said that apartment's tenant moved in the day before the blast.

Regional governor Boris Dubrovsky said FSB officers were present where the minibus exploded outside the local administrative building, but said this too was unrelated to the other explosion. Znak.com reported its source said "three terrorists" were killed in a firefight on Monday night, while footage from the scene showed the vehicle burn amid what sounds like gunfire.

The website further reported its anonymous source claimed a fourth offender escaped and remains wanted. Monday saw armed police with dogs searching a second apartment block in Magnitigorsk. Residents there told the press the officers claimed to be seeking a bomb.

Magnitogorsk: zeker 39 doden na instorten flat

Bij het ongeluk van afgelopen maandag in een flat in de Russische stad Magnitogorsk, die gedeeltelijk instortte, zijn volgens de laatste berichten 39 doden gevallen. Reddingswerkers hebben vandaag nog een aantal lichamen geborgen. Inmiddels is de reddingsoperatie voor afgerond verklaard, alle lichamen zouden zijn gevonden. Enkele tientallen mensen konden in totaal worden gered. Ook een 11 maanden oude baby werd dinsdag levend onder het puin vandaan gehaald.

In het getroffen gedeelte van de flat woonden in totaal 110 mensen. De oorzaak van het instorten lijkt een gasexplosie te zijn geweest. In het gebied is een dag van nationale rouw afgekondigd. Ook president Poetin heeft de rampplek bezocht.

Major Pakistan newspaper under government pressure

The publisher Dawn Group has been under increasing pressure from the government to stop negative coverage of events happening on the troubled Pakistan-Afghanistan border as well as recent events in the troubled province of Balochistan.

A series of emails written last week by Hameed Haroon, the managing CEO of Dawn Goup and Pakistan's biggest English language newspaper, the Dawn, have been circulated over the Internet. The emails allege that the government is depriving the newspaper of advertising revenue as a means of placing increasing pressure on it.

Mr. Haroon wrote, "It has always been difficult for governments to coexist with a free and independent press in Pakistan. Of late, however, the government headed by President Musharraf has become increasingly intolerant towards criticism in the press and towards the publishing of news that reflects poorly on the performance of his government on security matters." according to AsiansInMedia.org.

The allegations came recently after the offices of the Geo TV network and its affiliates, a media group unrelated to Dawn Group, were stormed by Islamabad police while the network was airing live video coverage of unrest caused by the dismissal of Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry.

The President of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf has denied his government is targeting the media, and in the controversy sparked by the revelations insisted that he supports press freedom. "I granted freedom which the (Pakistani) media enjoys today," he said in a speech delivered Saturday in Pakpattan.


Pakistan : le « Dawn », principal quotidien du pays, subirait des pressions du gouvernement

Le groupe de presse Dawn Group of Newspapers [1], subirait une pression croissante du gouvernement pakistanais pour cesser la « couverture négative » d'événements survenant à la frontière entre le Pakistan et l'Afghanistan ainsi que d'événements récents survenus dans la province du Baloutchistan.

Une série d'e-mails écrits la semaine dernière par Hameed Haroon, président-directeur général du Dawn Goup, a circulé sur Internet. Ces messages affirment que le gouvernement aurait choisi de priver Dawn de revenu publicitaire, afin d'augmenter la pression sur sa rédaction.

Selon un article publié mardi 27 mars 2007 sur le site AsiansInMedia.org, M. Haroon écrit notamment : « Il a toujours été difficile pour les gouvernements, au Pakistan, de coexister avec une presse libre et indépendante. Ces derniers temps, cependant, le gouvernement dirigé par le président Musharraf est devenu de plus en plus intolérant à l'encontre des critiques de la presse et de la publication de nouvelles qui reflètent les mauvaises performances de son gouvernement en matière de sécurité. »

Ces révélations interviennent peu après l'attaque [2], par la police d'Islamabad, des bureaux du réseau de télévision Geo TV et de ses filiales, groupe sans rapport avec le Dawn Group, alors que cet autre groupe de médias assurait en direct la couverture vidéo de l'agitation causée par le renvoi d'Iftikhar Chaudhry [3], président de la Cour suprême du Pakistan.

Le président Musharraf s'est inscrit en faux contre l'affirmation selon laquelle son gouvernement viserait les médias et a insisté sur le fait qu'il soutienait la liberté de la presse. Dans un discours prononcé samedi 22 mars à Pakpattan, il a ainsi indiqué qu'il était lui-même à l'origine de la liberté dont bénéficient aujourd'hui les médias au Pakistan.


Malawi President pardons jailed gay couple

On Saturday, May 29, Bingu wa Mutharika, President of the African country of Malawi, granted pardons to a gay couple who had been sentenced to 14 years in jail for sodomy and indecency charges. Mutharika, who has in the past dismissed homosexuality as alien, stated that he was releasing the couple on humanitarian grounds.

On Thursday, the President of South Africa condemned the decision of the Malawi courts in a rare dissenting statement stating, "We have condemned the action taken to arrest people in terms of our constitution," in response to questions about the Malawi arrests.

In December, Steven Monjeza, 26, and Tiwonge Chimbalanga, 20, were arrested following a personal engagement ceremony. The men were charged with gross indecency and unnatural acts, based on laws imposed during the British colonial period in Malawi.


Malawijska para gejowska uwolniona z więzienia

Bingu wa Mutharika, prezydent Malawi ułaskawił dwóch gejów skazanych przez sąd na 14 lat więzienia i ciężkich robót. Ich uwięzienie zostało nagłośnione przez media światowe i spotkało się z wieloma międzynarodowymi protestami ze strony organizacji broniących praw człowieka, środowisk LGBT i czynników politycznych.

Steven Monjeza i Tiwonge Chimbalanga zostali aresztowani w grudniu 2009 r. po tym jak wbrew prawu symbolicznie zaręczyli się podczas publicznej uroczystości. Wyrok sądowy zapadł ma początku maja 2010 r. Prezydent Malawi podjął decyzję po tym jak spotkał się z sekretarzem generalnym ONZ Ban Ki Munem, który interweniował w sprawie gejowskiej pary. — Ci chłopcy popełnili zbrodnie przeciwko naszej kulturze, religii i naszym prawom. Jednak jako głowa państwa niniejszym ułaskawiam im i proszę o ich natychmiastowe, bezwarunkowe zwolnienie — powiedział Bingu wa Mutharika. Nadmienił również, że nie popiera homoseksualizmu.


Malware from mass SQL injections confirmed by security experts

Nearly 20,000 websites have been attacked by unknown malicious computer users using a technique known as an SQL injection. The attackers have inserted code to install malware onto visitors' computers. The code exploits a newly-discovered weakness in Adobe Flash Player, a very common web-browser plugin. The attacks prompted an investigation by the Taiwanese information security industry into the source of these attacks.

An SQL injection is a common method employed by malicious users to attack and deface websites, arising from website mistakes in checking user input. Attackers take advantage of these weaknesses to inject information of their choosing into the website. For example, in June of 2007, Microsoft UK found its webpage changed to a picture of the Saudi Arabia flag, an attack which was carried out using an SQL injection.

According to SecurityFocus, this most recent series of attacks stems from a vulnerability in versions 9.0.115.0 and 9.0.124.0 of Flash Player. It allows attackers to load any code they wish onto a computer running these versions of Flash.

As the vulnerability in Flash is newly discovered, Adobe has not yet released a newer version which fixes the problem. For the time being, computer security experts recommend that internet users with one of the unprotected versions of Flash disable the plug-in on Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer to prevent malicious users from gaining control over their computers.

The most recent version of the Flash Player, version 9.0.124.0, does not appear to be vulnerable to this exploit.


資訊安全再陷危機 慈善團體網站受害最甚 隱碼攻擊為主因

四川大地震衍伸出的問題，在各領域上屢見不鮮，不只觀光業，就連救災、慈善相關的網站，近期也被駭客鎖定為主要的攻擊目標，當中，「SQL隱碼攻擊」是主要關鍵。

趨勢科技指出，因為四川大地震的關係，使得眾多慈善團體的網站，點閱率大幅提升，也大幅增加犯罪者植入木馬的機會，駭客更利用微軟在兩年前發佈的MS06-14漏洞，進行入侵攻擊，一旦使用者連上被入侵的網站，點選外部連結後，其他相關網站也會遭到攻擊，目前所知，亞洲地區有近十萬以上的網站遭波及。

另外，阿瑪科技根據近期受害的亞洲網站進行分析，當中，更指出，只要在大型搜尋引擎，輸入駭客指令的關鍵字，就可以看到眾多網站會被植入包含「<script>」的程式語法，範例如下：

此類攻擊手段，是駭客先入侵伺服器端，找到注入點，之後讓受害的網站，在無意間與駭客端連結，而當使用者連上線後，個人資料隨即遭到駭客的竊取，造成個資外洩的嚴重問題。

雖然受害的網站已有部分修復完畢，但台灣資安產業已發出警示，提醒使用者搜尋網站時，除了注意安全警示標與外，並儘量不要連入庫存網站頁面，以免遭受攻擊。


Man arrested in connection with Honolulu toddler death

Matthew Higa, 23, has been arrested in connection with the death of a 23-month-old boy. Higa is alleged to have thrown the child from a pedestrian overpass into oncoming traffic on Honolulu's H-1 Freeway.

The local coroner's office noted that the child died on impact after falling 30 feet (9 meters) from the overpass. This occurred during Thursday's lunch rush hour in the heart of downtown. Upon impact, several cars struck the child, which caused traffic to grind to a halt.

The toddler, Cyrus Nainoa Tupaʻi Belt, was pronounced dead at the scene at 12:07 p.m. (2207 UTC), approximately 27 minutes after being allegedly being ejected from the overpass by Higa. The portion of H-1 was closed for approximately five hours with traffic diverted to side streets. The freeway was reopened in time for the evening commute.

At first the relationship between Higa and the child was unclear, but later reports stated that Higa lived adjacent to him and had babysat him on previous occasions. The boy's mother was out of town at the time of his death, but it was revealed that the child was supposed to be in the custody of his father and not with Higa.

Higa graduated from Roosevelt High School in 2003. In the summer of 2004 Higa was involved in an incident where police reports indicate a three-car race resulted in the death of a friend. Higa has since had a criminal history, with more than a dozen arrests but no convictions, and reports from neighbors of erratic behavior.

Queen's Medical Center, which houses a psychiatric ward in Honolulu, noted that he was a patient there as recently as December 11, 2007. When arrested, Higa was wearing hospital scrubs, which were not immediately conducive to whether Higa was a patient in Queen's psychiatric wing in the last couple of days. A representative of Queen's declined to comment on whether Higa was admitted in the last week.


Arrestation d'un suspect après la mort d'un jeune enfant à Honolulu

Matthew Higa, 23 ans, a été arrêté dans le cadre de l'enquête sur la mort d'un enfant de deux ans. Il est accusé d'avoir jeté l'enfant sur une autoroute à partir d'une passerelle pour piétons à Honolulu dans l'État de Hawaii, aux États-Unis

Le bureau du coroner local a indiqué que l'enfant, dont l'identité est tenue secrète, est mort sur le coup après avoir chuté de 30 pieds (9 mètres) depuis la passerelle. Cela s'est produit jeudi 17 janvier, vers midi heure local, soit l'heure de pointe dans le cœur de la ville. Lors de l'accident, plusieurs voitures ont heurté l'enfant.

Le jeune enfant a été déclaré mort sur les lieux de l'accident à 12h07 soit environ 27 minutes après avoir été lancé de la passerelle.  La portion de l'autoroute H-1 où s'est produit l'accident a été fermée pendant environ cinq heures à la circulation. L'autoroute a pu été rouverte avant les retour de la soirée.

Dans un premier temps, la relation entre Matthew Higa et l'enfant n'a pas paru claire, mais plus tard, il a signalé que Matthew Higa vivait près de chez lui et qu'il avait même garder l'enfant par le passé. La mère du garçon n'était pas dans la ville au moment de sa mort, mais l'enfant était censée être sous la garde de son père et non pas avec Matthew Higa.

Le jeune homme a été diplômé du lycée Theodore Roosevelt d'Honolulu en 2003. Selon les rapports de police, pendant l'été 2004, il a été impliqué dans un accident qui a causé la mort de l'un de ses amis après une course entre trois voitures. Depuis, Higa a eu plusieurs fois à rendre des comptes devant la justice, avec plus d'une douzaine d'arrestations mais pas aucune condamnation. Il est décrit par ses voisins comme ayant un comportement erratique.

Le Queen's Medical Center d'Honolulu, qui comprend un service psychiatrique, a indiqué qu'il y avait été interné pas plus tard que le 11 décembre 2007. Lors de son arrestation, Matthew Higa portait l'uniforme de l'hôpital ce qui laissait supposer qu'il a été l'un des patients de l'unité psychiatrique dans les derniers jours. Un porte-parole de l'hôpital s'est refusé à tout commentaire sur les raisons qui ont amené à interner Matthew Higa la semaine dernière.

Man arrested over prostitutes' murders in Great Britain

The British police have arrested a man in connection with the murder of 5 prostitutes in the Ipswich area. Tom Stephens, 37, was arrested at his home in Trimley near Felixstowe, Suffolk at 7:20 a.m. Police are also examining a phone and laptop confiscated from Mr Stephens earlier in the week and checking Mr Stephens mother's house.

Stephens is currently in police custody at an unnamed station in Suffolk awaiting questioning.

All five of the women were found dumped naked in the countryside near Ipswich over a period of 11 days. The murders were compared by the media to the ninteenth century killer Jack the Ripper.

Despite these developments police are still stressing that the investigation is ongoing and are continuing to advise prostitutes in the area to remain off the streets.

In total there are currently 412 detectives, uniformed officers and police staff working on the case.


Tatverdächtiger der Ipswich-Morde festgenommen

Ipswich / London (Vereinigtes Königreich), 19.12.2006 – Nachdem in Ipswich innerhalb von zehn Tagen fünf Frauenleichen gefunden worden waren, ermittelt nun auch Interpol. Dies führte am 18. Dezember gegen 7:20 Uhr in Trimley nahe Felixstowe zur Festnahme eines dringend Tatverdächtigen.

Der Festgenommene ist ein 37 Jahre alter Supermarktangestellter. Die Polizei geht davon aus, dass er die fünf Frauen im Alter von 19 bis 29 Jahren mit bloßen Händen erwürgt und anschließend bei der A14, einer Fernverkehrsstraße, nackt abgelegt hat.

Laut Polizeiberichten war der mutmaßliche Täter bei allen fünf Prostituierten Kunde und hat für die Zeit deren Verschwindens kein Alibi. Die Leichen der teilweise seit Oktober vermissten Frauen wurden innerhalb von zehn Tagen ab dem 2. Dezember aufgefunden.

Prostituierten-Hilfsverbände und Politiker in Suffolk sind über die Festnahme erleichtert. Jedoch bleibe es erst noch abzuwarten, ob der Festgenommene wirklich der Täter sei.

Vor der Festnahme wurde Medienberichten zufolge vermutet, dass der Täter vom europäischen Festland stamme und sich wieder dorthin abgesetzt habe. Die Polizei wollte nun herausfinden, was die Opfer in den letzten Stunden vor ihrem Tod gemacht haben.

Die fünf Opfer, die innerhalb von zehn Tagen aufgefunden wurden, waren alle nackt, wiesen jedoch keine Spuren einer Sexualstraftat auf. Sie lagen im Freien und waren vor ihrem Tod drogensüchtig.

Laut der Vize-Polizeichefin von Suffolk am 16. Dezember wurde zu dieser Zeit gegen „50 bis 100 Verdächtige“ ermittelt. Dabei setzte die Polizei 500 Beamte ein. Auch die Bevölkerung wurde in die Ermittlungen einbezogen. So wurden Videoaufnahmen veröffentlicht, die ein 24-jähriges Opfer bei einer Zugfahrt eine Woche vor ihrem Tod zeigen.

Einige Verdächtige sollen laut einem Bericht der „Sun“, der jedoch vor der Festnahme erschien, bald vernommen werden. Es handelt sich dabei unter anderem um einen Mann, der Spaß an Sex im Freien hat, einen Taxifahrer und einen Geschäftsmann. Bereits am Sonntag wurden mehrere Verdächtige namentlich in einer Boulevardzeitung genannt. Laut dem Sender BBC ist der Festgenommene einer davon.

Aresztowano podejrzanego w związku z serią zabójstw prostytutek w Ipswich

Brytyjska policja aresztowała mężczyznę podejrzanego o dokonanie mordu na 5 prostytutkach na terenie miasta Ipswich, we wschodniej Anglii.

37-letni Tom Stephens, pracownik supermarketu, został aresztowany w swoim domu o 0720 GMT (8:20 czasu warszawskiego) w poniedziałek, w Trimley St Martin, w pobliżu drogi A14 prowadzącej z Ipswich do Felixstowe.

Man attacks people, kills 7 in Akihabara, Tokyo

A lively shopping district was suddenly struck by an indiscriminate murder spree on a Sunday afternoon. A young man attacked a crowd with a rented truck, and then stabbed people with a dagger, around 12:35 JST (3:35 UTC) on Sunday in the Akihabara district of Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo. The suspect, identified as Tomohiro Katō, aged 25, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Seven people were killed, and ten injured.

The injured people include pedestrians, a 53-year-old policeman, and a taxi driver, 54, who is believed to have left his taxi in order to help a pedestrian hit by the truck. About 17 ambulances came to the scene. NHK reports that medical teams trained for disasters joined the rescue.

The dead are six men aged between 19 and 74 and a 21-year-old woman; each was identified by police.

The truck, traveling on Kanda Myōjin-dōri (Kanda Myōjin Avenue), ran into the crowd at a crossing on Chūō-dōri (Chūō Avenue), which is a vehicle-free road every Sunday. After entering the crowd, the truck continued moving for about 30 meters. The suspect then exited the truck and began stabbing people. According to a witness, the suspect, upon being pursued by police, ran south on Chūō-dōri and was cornered in a narrow alley. The suspect dropped his knife after the police officer drew his gun, and was overpowered by the officer and several bystanders.

The suspect has been quoted as confessing to police, "I came to Akihabara to kill people. I'm tired of the world. Anyone was OK. Today I came alone." The suspect, a native of Aomori City, lived and worked as a dispatched temporary employee in Shizuoka Prefecture. After being held at the Manseibashi Police Station, he was sent on Tuesday to the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office.

At the scene, a table covered with a white cloth was set for memorial flowers and other offerings on the morning of Monday, June 9. As acquaintances of the dead and passersby visited, the table soon filled—almost flooded—with flowers, drink bottles, pictures, and folded paper cranes.

The incident occurred on the same date with the 2001 Osaka school massacre, in which eight elementary school students were killed.

NHK reported the incident as confirmed within 45 minutes, interrupting a news channel program for one minute. Some newspapers created special issues to report the incident as June 8 was a Sunday and also a press holiday, many newspapers in Japan were not scheduled for delivery on that evening or the following morning.

The Akihabara district is famous for its Electric Town with wholesalers and retailers of video games or electric gadgets such as PC parts, televisions and kitchen appliances. It has also become famous for distinctive trends in cultures created or supported by the youth.

Local residents, business owners, and government officials from Chiyoda Ward assembled for an emergency meeting on Monday to discuss whether the practice of maintaining the vehicle-free area on Sundays ought to be continued. The Tokyo Metropolitan Public Safety Commission is also expected to discuss the issue.

Tōkyō: Amokläufer tötet sieben Menschen

Tōkyō (Japan), 08.06.2008 – Mindestens sieben Menschen starben am Sonntag in Akihabara – einem Stadtteil der japanischen Hauptstadt Tōkyō, in der vorwiegend Elektronikartikel verkauft werden – durch wahllose Messerattacken eines 25-jährigen Mannes.

Die Frankfurter Rundschau zitiert einen Augenzeugen mit den Worten: „Der Mann hat einen Fußgänger erst angefahren, danach hat er ihn angesprungen und mit dem Messer mehrere Male auf ihn eingestochen. Dann ist er weitergegangen und hat wahllos Passanten aufgeschlitzt.“ Der Täter konnte kurzfristig von einem Polizisten in der Nähe des Tatortes gestellt und mit vorgehaltener Waffe zur Aufgabe gezwungen werden. Der Täter gab bei der ersten Vernehmung durch die Polizei als Motiv der Taten Einsamkeit an. Der Mann war zunächst mutwillig mit einem Zwei-Tonnen-Lastwagen in eine Menschengruppe gefahren. Zur Tatzeit befanden sich viele Menschen zum Einkaufsbummel in dem Geschäftsviertel.

Nach Polizeiangaben wurden sechs Männer und eine Frau durch die Messerangriffe getötet. Sie starben im Krankenhaus. Außerdem sollen zehn weitere Menschen verletzt worden sein.

Der neuerliche Amoklauf ereignete sich genau sieben Jahre nach einem Vorfall an einer Grundschule in Osaka, bei dem ebenfalls ein Amokläufer acht Kinder getötet hatte. Zuletzt hatte im März ein 24-Jähriger in einem Bahnhof in Ibaraki auf Passanten eingestochen. Dabei war ein Mensch gestorben, sieben weitere waren verletzt worden.

De verdachte zou speciaal naar de wijk zijn gekomen om mensen te doden, aldus een politiewoordvoerder. Eerdere berichten meldden dat de man lid is van een Japanse criminele organisatie, maar dat kon de politie niet bevestigen.


Man buys his stolen camera on eBay

A German businessman who had his camera stolen at a restaurant found and made a purchase for the same camera model on eBay.  To his surprise, it was his own stolen camera.

The reason he wanted the same model was because he had matching accessories. The seller was from his hometown, making it even more suspicious. Police on Thursday were questioning a 34-year old vendor. His statement "claims he got the camera at a flea market, but was also offering other cameras on the Internet."

Man charged over London bombings

Ismael Abdurahman was arrested in connection with the July 21 bombings in London and has been charged with terrorism offences. He is the first person to be charged in connection with the attacks.

The charge reads: "Between July 23 and July 28 he had information he knew or believed might be of material assistance in securing the apprehension, prosecution or conviction of another person in the UK for an offence involving the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism."

He will appear before Bow Street Magistrates in London on August 4.

Man charged over motorway bridge collapse in Kent, England

Reports yesterday indicated a 63-year-old man has been charged in connection with the collapse of a pedestrian bridge onto the M20 motorway in Kent, England last year.

The unidentified man has been summonsed to appear at Maidstone Magistrates' Court on February 17. As well as dangerous driving and causing serious injury by dangerous driving he also faces three counts of criminal damage covering the bridge and damaged vehicles. The nonfatal accident left an elderly motorcyclist with broken ribs after he came off his bike avoiding the 170 tonnes of falling debris.

Two lorries were partially crushed by the collapse, which was triggered when a digger on the back of a lorry struck the concrete bridge. Kent Police continue to investigate; Highways England have said they will await that probe's results before deciding if they will launch their own.

The August 27 collapse caused millions of pounds of damage, and closed a major route for more than 24 hours. Police sent several vehicles to the scene and 25 firefighters attended. An air ambulance also responded.

Workers with cranes toiled overnight to clear the road, which provides access to London as well as the Channel Tunnel and Port of Dover. The road was again closed one week later to collect the fallen bridge sections, which were sent to Highways England depots for investigators.

The collapse occurred on one of the busiest days of the year for the local road network.


Angleterre : un homme accusé de l'effondrement d'un pont piétonnier sur une autoroute du Kent

Publié le 21 janvier 2017   Un homme de 63 ans est accusé d'avoir provoqué l'effondrement d'un pont piétonnier sur l'autoroute M20, dans le Kent, en Angleterre, l'année dernière.

L'homme non identifié a été assigné à comparaître devant la Cour de magistrats de Maidstone le 17 février prochain. En plus de conduite dangereuse et de provocation de blessures graves par conduite dangereuse, il fait également face à trois chefs d'accusation de dommages criminels couvrant le pont et les véhicules endommagés. L'accident non mortel a laissé un motocycliste âgé avec des côtes cassées, après qu'il est tombé de son vélo afin d'éviter les 170 tonnes de débris.

Deux camions ont été partiellement écrasés par l'effondrement, qui a été déclenché quand un excavateur se trouvant à l'arrière d'un camion a heurté le pont en béton. La police du Kent continue à enquêter. Highways England a dit qu'elle attendrait les résultats de cette enquête avant de décider si elle lance ou non la sienne.

L'effondrement du 27 août a causé des millions de livres de dégâts, et a bloqué un itinéraire important pendant plus de 24 heures. La police a envoyé plusieurs véhicules sur les lieux et 25 pompiers étaient présents. Une ambulance aérienne est également intervenue.

Les ouvriers équipés de grues ont travaillé toute la nuit pour dégager la route, qui dessert l'accès à Londres ainsi que le tunnel sous la Manche et le port de Douvres. La route a de nouveau été fermée une semaine plus tard pour recueillir les sections de pont tombées, qui ont été envoyées à Highways England pour investigations.

L'effondrement a eu lieu l'un des jours les plus animés de l'année pour le réseau routier local.

Man decapitated on Greyhound bus in Manitoba

According to a Canadian Press report published Thursday and a CNN report Friday, 40-year-old Vince Weiguang Li of Edmonton, Alberta has been arrested for allegedly stabbing and decapitating a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus in Manitoba, Canada on Wednesday night.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has not confirmed a beheading, which witnesses have described to the press, saying only that the suspect allegedly stabbed the victim around 8:30 p.m. CT on a Greyhound bus traveling east on the Trans-Canada Highway about 20 kilometers west of Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. Canadian Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day described the attack as "horrific" according to Agence France-Presse and "probably one-of-a-kind in Canadian history" according to the Canadian Press.

While the RCMP has not released the victim's name, the Canadian Press and CNN have reported that the deceased is Tim McLean, 22, who had been traveling from Edmonton to Winnipeg, where he lived. Two witnesses described the attack to CBC News: Garnet Caton, who was sitting in the seat in front of the victim, and Cody Olmstead, who smoked a cigarette with the victim just minutes shortly before the attack.

"He must have stabbed him 50 times or 60 times," Caton told CBC News.

Olmstead described the attack: "Like, just everywhere, arms, legs, neck, chest, guts, wherever he could swing it, he got it."

Caton and Olmstead said that the other passengers fled. When the bus driver, a passing trucker and Caton returned to check on the victim, Caton noticed the victim's head was gone. Caton said that the attacker then chased them off the bus. CBC News reported that the suspect tried to drive the bus away from the scene, but the driver disabled the engine. Witnesses have said that the attacker then paraded the removed head from a bus window.

"While we were watching the door, he calmly walks up to the front with the head in his hand and the knife and just calmly stares at us and drops the head right in front of us," Caton told the CBC.

"The guy came to the front of the door with buddy's head in his hands, decapitated. He dropped the head and went back and started cutting the body back up," Olmstead described to the Canadian Press. RCMP arrested the suspect at about 1:30 a.m. local time after a three-hour standoff. As of about 3:00 p.m. Thursday, the Canadian Press reported that the RCMP has not yet questioned the subject and had laid no charges, though he was due Friday morning in the Provincial Court of Manitoba in Portage la Prairie, according to a statement posted on the RCMP web site.

Greyhound spokeswoman Abby Wambaugh told the Associated Press that 37 passengers were aboard the bus.


Manitoba, Canada: uccide e decapita un passeggero su un bus

Un efferato delitto sta scioccando in queste ore il Canada. Si tratta di un omicidio, avvenuto su un bus poco distante da Portage la Prairie, nello stato di Manitoba, consumato con efferata violenza da un uomo di 40 anni che ha accoltellato il suo vicino di posto con 40, o forse 50 coltellate, per poi decapitarlo.

La terribile scena è avvenuta davanti agli occhi dei 35 passeggeri che viaggiavano sul mezzo, e che hanno potuto testimoniare quanto accaduto: «Abbiamo sentito un urlo che ci ha fatto gelare il sangue nelle vene e ci siamo girati», ha raccontato il passeggero Garnet Caton, «ci siamo girati e quest’uomo stava in piedi, accoltellando il ragazzo qualcosa come 40 o 50 volte». «Non c’era né rabbia né altro, era come un robot che accoltellava il ragazzo».

Accortosi del delitto in corso (erano da poco passate le 20), l'autista ha fermato il bus, permettendo così ai passeggeri di scappare, mentre l'assassino completava il macabro omicidio recidendo la testa del malcapitato. L'uomo è successivamente sceso dall'autobus, tenendo in mano la testa dell'uomo ucciso, un giovane che, secondo le testimonianze, avrebbe avuto intorno ai venti anni, l'ha mostrata ai passeggeri che erano scesi, e l'ha poi buttata via. «Tutto con molta calma. Non era un gran problema per lui», ha detto un altro testimone.

Gli accertamenti sul delitto sono in corso da parte della Gendarmerie Royale du Canada, che dopo 5 ore dall'accaduto, in piena notte, ha arrestato l'uomo, dopo che aveva tentato invano di fuggire attraverso un finestrino da lui stesso rotto. Fino ad adesso, all'uomo non è stato contestato alcun reato, ma gli interrogatori proseguono senza sosta.

Stockwell Day, ministro per la Pubblica Sicurezza, ha annunciato «che il processo sia portato avanti nel modo più aggressivo possibile», per poi aggiungere che «Questo particolare episodio, per terribile che sia, è ovviamente molto raro, probabilmente un unicum nella storia canadese».

I due uomini, con molta probabilità, non si conoscevano, in quanto l'assassinato era sul bus già ad Edmonton, nell'Alberta, mentre l'assassino era salito a Brandon, nel Manitoba, dopo 1.141 chilometri di distanza, ed ha compiuto l'omicidio a Portage la Prairie, che da Brandon dista poco meno di 130 chilometri, mentre erano passate all'incirca due ore da quando era salito.

Man found dead after Stockholm explosion

A body has been found close to the site of blasts in Stockholm, Sweden yesterday evening.

According to multiple reports, a car  exploded in Drottninggatan, Stockholm. Police spokesperson Petra Sjölander said "One explosion happened at the intersection of Drottninggatan and Olof Palmes Gata," At least 2 people were treated for minor injuries from the first explosion. There are conflicting accounts concerning cause.

A second explosion followed at the intersection Drottninggatan and Bryggargatan according to the same spokesperson, who called this 'suspicious' - "We don't know at this point what caused the second explosion, we had bomb technicians on site, but I can't give you any details of what they did."

The body of a male was found close to the site of the second incident, although any relationship to either incident is still unclear. "I can't confirm that the death is linked to the car explosion, but I can't rule it out either" Sjölander stated.

An eyewitness to the second explosion, Gabriel Gabiro, was reported as saying "There was a man lying on the ground with blood coming out in the area of his belly, and with his personal belongings scattered around him."

The cause of both blasts is under investigation, police spokesperson Ulf Johansson saying 'We need more investigation and of course we need more witnesses to give us the information of what actually has happened'. He also claimed that there had been
no warnings.

Despite statements from police, some news sources are raising the possibility of a terrorist link after apparent warnings were sent to Swedish news agency TT. The warnings are reported to have contained references to Swedish involvement in Afghanistan and to the controversial Lars Vilks Muhammad cartoons.


Atemptat suïcida a Suècia

El 11 de desembre un terrorista va morir durant un sèrie d'incidents que van ocasionar l'explosió de dos cotxes situats en la zona comercial d'Estocolm. Sembla ser que primer se va fer esclatar un cotxe bomba i després el terrorista proveït de sis tubs d'explosius se va suïcidar intentant causar danys i morts.

Segons un comunicat rebut per l'agència de notícies TT i la policia, per anunciar l'atac, aquest se vinculava a la presència de contingent militar suec a l'Afganistan i a les caricatures de Mahoma de l'artista suec Lars Vilks.


Selbstmordanschlag in Stockholm

Stockholm (Schweden), 12.12.2010 – Ein Selbstmordattentäter hat sich am Samstagnachmittag in einer Einkaufsstraße in Stockholm in die Luft gesprengt. Dabei wurde der Attentäter getötet und zwei Personen leicht verletzt.

Der Selbstmordattentäter trug einen Rucksack mit sich, in dem sich Rohrbomben und Nägel befanden. Kurz zuvor war ein parkender Personenwagen in der Innenstadt explodiert. Kurz vor dem Attentat war eine E-mail bei einer schwedischen Nachrichtenagentur eingegangen, die vermuten lässt, dass das Attentat von einem Islamisten unter anderem aus Rache für die Beteiligung Schwedens am Afghanistankrieg verübt wurde.


Ataque suicida en Estocolmo deja dos heridos

14 de diciembre de 2010Estocolmo, Suecia —

La policía de Suecia avanza en las investigaciones sobre el ataque suicida que se produjo durante el fin de semana en Estocolmo, la capital del país, donde un atacante suicida se inmoló sin provocar víctimas.

El ataque, que ha sido considerado por las autoridades suecas como un acto de terrorismo, fue atribuido hasta ahora a un atacante solitario. Según los informes, el atentado se produjo después del acusado concretara una amenaza por correo electrónico que hacía referencia a las tropas suecas en Afganistán y a caricaturas del profeta Mahoma.

La portavoz de seguridad, Sara Kvarnstrom, dijo que las autoridades "confirmaron que se trata del mismo hombre" que envió el correo electrónico y que después murió en un aparente ataque suicida. Otras dos personas resultaron heridas en el ataque, que se produjo poco después de la explosión de un automóvil en un frecuentado distrito comercial en el centro de Estocolmo.

Mientras tanto, el grupo de inteligencia SITE, con sede en Estados Unidos y que monitorea sitios web usados por extremistas, dijo que un miembro de Shumukh al-Islam publicó este domingo 12 de diciembre de 2010, un día después del ataque, un mensaje identificando al supuesto atacante como Abdulwahab y citó reportes de prensa que lo llamaban Taymour Abdulwahab Al-Abdaly.

Otra publicación de un sitio en Internet islámico mostró que Abdaly estaba casado, tenía dos hijas y buscaba tener una segunda mujer. También se establece que había nacido en Bagdad y se mudó a Estocolmo en 1992. Por su parte, el diario Daily Telegraph citó a vecinos afirmando que lo vieron por última vez hace dos semanas y media.

El primer ministro, Fredrik Reinfeldt, calificó los acontecimientos de "ni deseados ni aceptables" en una sociedad abierta como la de Suecia y pidió que no se saquen conclusiones apresuradas. La ministra de Justicia, Beatrice Ask, llamó a la prudencia, declarando que "primero hay que investigar a fondo lo que ha ocurrido antes de sacar conclusiones".

En tanto la policía británica allana una vivienda en sur de Inglaterra como parte de la investigación sobre el ataque suicida en Estocolmo. Las autoridades británicas examinan una casa en la localidad de Luton, Bedfordshire, un allanamiento realizado bajo el acta de terrorismo.

"No se han realizado arrestos y no se hallaron materiales peligrosos", indicó un comunicado de la policía.

El Ministerio del Interior de Gran Bretaña sostuvo que mantenía contactos cercanos con las autoridades suecas, pero que sería inapropiado hacer más comentarios sobre las pesquisas.


Stoccolma: esplodono due autobombe, un morto

Due autobombe sono esplose ieri sera nel centro di Stoccolma, capitale della Svezia, provocando un morto e diversi feriti. L'attentato sarebbe stato rivendicato da terroristi islamici che hanno ricondotto le esplosioni alla presenza delle forze armate svedesi in Afghanistan e sulle vignette satiriche di Lars Vilks sul profeta Maometto.

Le esplosioni di due automobili cariche di esplosivo sono avvenute quasi contemporaneamente nel centro della capitale all'ora di massimo traffico pedonale per gli acquisti natalizi: la prima è detonata all'incrocio tra Olof Palme e Drottninggatan alle 16:52. La seconda esplosione avvenuta alle 17:05, ha provocato una vittima che si trovava fuori dall'esercizio commerciale "Scorett".

Inizialmente, in seguito al ritrovamento di un cadavere, cui vicino giaceva una borsa contenente alcuni chiodi, si era vagliata la possibilità di un attentato suicida. I giornalisti, comunque, citando testimoni oculari hanno riferito di esplosioni accidentali a catena scatenate da alcuni fuochi d'artificio e una bombola di gas presenti nel baule di un'auto, che avrebbero causato l'incendio generale, cogliendo una prima conferma da Petra Sjoelander, capo della polizia locale. Tuttavia l'esplosione poco dopo di un incendio in un negozio a Bryggargatan, che ha lasciato a terra un morto, andava facendo trasparire col tempo un collegamento tra i due fatti, confermando sulla sera tardi la pista dell'attentato.

Pochi minuti prima degli attacchi, l'agenzia nazionale TT e la polizia hanno ricevuto una e-mail con allegato due nastri (uno in svedese e uno in arabo) nella quale si rivendicavano le azioni terroristiche come rappresaglia alla «vostra guerra contro l'Islam, le umiliazioni al profeta e il vostro stupido sostegno al maiale Vilks», in riferimento al silenzio mediatico circa le vignette del giornalista e la presenza di un contingente svedese in Afghanistan.

Ad indagare sugli attentati sono stati incaricati la polizia svedese e la Sapo, il servizio di sicurezza nazionale.

Man killed in police shooting in Brooklyn, New York

A man was shot and killed by police officers in East New York, Brooklyn, New York who were responding to a 9-1-1 call reporting a home invasion late Thursday night. The deceased, 26-year-old Duane Browne, was carrying a .38 caliber Smith & Wesson revolver. Police believe he was responding to armed men who had entered his home.

According to police reconstruction of events, as Browne's brother, 31-year-old Dale Ogarro, approached the home on 943 Schenck Ave., he was accosted by two armed men who demanded "where's the money!" He was forced into the building's basement. His girlfriend in a nearby car called 9-1-1 five times to report the invasion. The robbers escaped as police approached. When police arrived, Ogarro reported he was unharmed but did not say the robbers had left or his brother was carrying a gun. Browne exited the house through a back door holding the revolver and police ordered him to drop it. When he failed to do so, police shot him.

Police found 11 bags of cannabis and a scale in a basement closet. According to police, Ogarro has been arrested in the past on several drug charges, and the firearm he carried was unregistered.

Um homem foi baleado e morto por policiais em East New York, Brooklyn, Nova Iorque que estavam respondendo a uma chamada 9-1-1 relatando uma invasão casa na noite de quinta-feira (12). O falecido, de 26 anos de idade, Duane Browne, estava carregando um calibre .38 do revólver Smith & Wesson. A polícia acredita que ele estava respondendo aos homens armados que tinham entrado em sua casa.

Segundo a reconstrução da polícia de eventos, como o irmão de Browne, de 31 anos de idade Dale Ogarro, aproximou-se da casa na 943 Schenck Ave., ele foi abordado por dois homens armados que exigiram "where's the money!" ("onde está o dinheiro!"). Ele foi forçado a cave do edifício. Sua namorada em um carro próximo chamou 9-1-1 cinco vezes para relatar a invasão. Os ladrões fugiram quando a polícia se aproximou. Quando a polícia chegou, Ogarro relatou que estava ileso, mas não disse os ladrões haviam deixado ou seu irmão estava carregando uma arma. Browne saiu da casa através de uma porta traseira segurando o revólver ea polícia ordenou que ele soltá-lo. Quando ele não conseguiu fazê-lo, a polícia atirou nele.

A polícia encontrou 11 sacos de maconha e uma balança em um armário do porão. Segundo a polícia, Ogarro foi preso no passado por porte de drogas diversas, e com a arma que ele carregava era não registrados.

Em 12 de dezembro de 2011, o policial Peter J. Figoski foi morto enquanto respondendo a um assalto em uma casa nas proximidades.

Man rips off Hitler waxwork's head in Berlin

A man ripped off the head of a wax model of Adolf Hitler during the opening ceremony of a museum in Berlin, Germany.

An unknown 41-year old German, reported to be the second one in line at the opening of the Madame Tussauds museum in Berlin, pushed aside 2 officers then went to the exhibit depicting Hitler. He then yelled "No more war!" and ripped the wax head off only a few minutes after the museum opened.

Police arrested the man, charging him for assault and damaging property, said spokesman Uwe Kozelnik. The accused is currently in custody.

In the weeks preceding the opening, critics argued that it was inappropriate to show Hitler with other famous figures, while others say that Hitler's role in German history justifies his placement within the exhibition.
