Raging Airplane Passenger Duct Taped to Seat (ABC News)

The pitfalls of apparently mixing alcohol and air travel were taken to a new level when an evidently intoxicated man was constrained to his seat with duct tape on an international flight.

Iceland Air said the man went on a rampage on a New Year's Eve flight from Reykjavik to New York, hitting, screaming at and spitting on other passengers.

Passengers took matter into their own hands, taping the man to his seat.

Andy Ellwood, who was on board the flight, snapped a picture of the disruptive passenger and wrote on his blog that the man became unruly after drinking all of the duty-free liquor on board.

"He was restrained by passengers and crew and was monitored for his own safety for the duration of the flight," Iceland Air said in a statement to ABC News.

The man, who has not been identified, was taken by police to an area hospital where he was treated for alcohol poisoning. Port Authority police wouldn't confirm that the man in the picture was the person they took into custody, but said he had not been charged.

MANILA ( Wife hires man for 2,500 to kill her husband ) 100,000 pesos

Wife, 4 others held over murder of Japanese man in Philippines

CrimeJan. 06, 2013 - 06:45AM JST( 19 )

MANILA —

A Philippine woman and her son have been arrested along with three other locals for the gun-for-hire murder of her Japanese husband, police said Saturday.
Hideo Niikura was shot dead by a motorcycle-riding gunman in Dasmarinas, a town about 35 kilometers south of Manila on Dec 29, a police statement said.
His wife Merlinda Soria, 46, confessed she and an adult son by another man had plotted the killing, the statement said.


The son and one of his friends paid a third man 100,000 pesos (just under $2,500) to commit the murder, according to the statement, which added that the son’s friend also corroborated the woman’s deposition after their arrest.
Police said the four were detained in separate police raids in Dasmarinas on Friday, along with another male suspect also implicated in the conspiracy.
Police seized two semi-automatic pistols from the alleged gunman and the woman’s son, it said.
The statement said mother and son plotted to have her husband killed “over money matters and alleged physical abuses”, but did not elaborate.
Local police sources said the couple met in Manila around 1990, got married seven years ago and have a five-year-old child.
The husband decided to permanently relocate to Dasmarinas in September last year, they said.
The victim’s home town was not stated in the report.
Japanese embassy officials were unavailable for comment on Saturday

Pakistan (U.S Drone strike kills 10 suspected taliban fighters )

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (Reuters) - A U.S. drone strike killed at least 10 people suspected to be Taliban fighters in Pakistan's northern tribal areas on Sunday, intelligence sources said, days after another drone strike killed a top militant leader in the area.

The attack on three Taliban compounds in Babar Pehari, South Waziristan, killed between 10 and 12 people, six intelligence sources said. More militants were believed to be in the compounds when they were hit, officials said, meaning the death toll could rise.

Three of the intelligence sources and a Taliban commander said that Wali Muhammed, also known as Toofin, was among the dead. He supervised suicide bomb squads for the Pakistani Taliban.

The Pakistani Taliban has established sanctuaries in the mountainous Babar area, 140 km (87 miles) northeast of Wana, the main city of the South Waziristan region, they said.

South Waziristan is controlled by the Pakistani army, which operates under an uneasy truce with militants from the local Wazir tribe.

Sunday's strike followed the death of Mullah Nazir, a Waziri militant leader, on Wednesday. Nazir supported attacks on American forces in Afghanistan but had signed two peace deals with the Pakistani army. On Sunday, thousands of his tribesmen protested against his killing.

Many Pakistanis say drone strikes infringe the

country's sovereignty, and are angry over civilian casualties they cause.
            
Others say the drones are the only way of targeting militants who terrorize the local population in areas the Pakistani army is unwilling to patrol.

Drone strikes dramatically increased after U.S. President Barack Obama took office in 2009. There were only five drone strikes in 2007, but the number rose to 117 in 2010 before declining to 46 last year.

Exact casualty figures are difficult to verify. Most of those killed are militants, but some civilians have also been killed.

San Jose ( Man takes law into own hands- kills burglar ) Charged with murder

01-03) 16:36 PST SAN JOSE -- A San Jose maintenance worker who shot and killed an alleged repeat burglar while intending to make a citizen's arrest was charged with murder Thursday, authorities said.
Luis Ricardo Hernandez, 26, is accused of murdering 36-year-old Christopher Soriano at the apartment complex on Lewis Road where Hernandez works.


The incident started when Hernandez got a call Monday morning from his boss, Salvador Orozco Saldana, who had spotted Soriano driving a truck into the apartment complex's garage, according to a police statement included in Santa Clara County court documents released Thursday.
Saldana, a maintenance supervisor at the complex, believed Soriano had burglarized his and other apartments in the past, documents said. He didn't think police had responded promptly to the burglaries and had no confidence officers would show up this time, so he told Hernandez to help him make a citizen's arrest, police said.
Hernandez armed himself with a gun he told police he had bought illegally for self-defense, investigators said. When he and his boss tried to hold Soriano, however, the suspected burglar broke free and Hernandez shot him, police said.
An autopsy indicated that Soriano was shot from less than a foot away and was either lying on the ground or crouching when he was hit, according to the Santa Clara County medical examiner's office.
Surveillance footage from the garage shows Hernandez fighting with the suspect while holding a gun, according to police.
Soriano died at the scene at 9:55 a.m., authorities said. Saldana has not been charged with a crime.
