Bay AREA ( 2-month-old Chihuahua found " Painted pink " and with a broken leg ) scum bags

A 2-month-old Chihuahua with dyed pink fur nicknamed "Candy" was found with a fractured bone in the street  by a Good Samaritan in East Palo Alto, and now, the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA is trying to find a nice quiet, home for her.

Spokesman Scott Delucchi said X-rays showed the pup has a hairline fracture of the right rear tibia, an injury she likely got from jumping off a bed or couch or from someone stepping on her.  He also said that staff bathed the dog and tried to get her pink dye off, to no avail. He said no one can figure out what kind of chemicals were used. She was found Jan. 13.

"It's not unusual to dye a dog," Delucchi said, citing the plethora of X-treme grooming sites out there and that fact that dying a pet typically shows some level of care and attachment to a pet. "But this is pretty wierd."

Delucchi can't figure out if the dog is missing, or abandoned. But either way, he'd love for Candy to find a nice quiet home to live in.

The shelter is considering potential adopters at this time and interested foster parents or adopters should call (650) 340-7022, ext. 382.  Owners of missing pets should visit the the intake facility at 12 Airport Blvd., San Mateo, to look at the stray animals on site and also file a Lost Animal report.

Egypt ( 5 police officers killed at a "check point " )

CAIRO: Masked gunmen riding on motorcycles opened fire at a police checkpoint in central Egypt early on Thursday, killing five policemen and wounding two, the Interior Ministry said.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack but Egypt has seen a sharp rise in drive-by shootings and attacks targeting police and the military in the aftermath of the popularly-backed coup last July in which the army ousted Islamist President Muhammad Mursi.


The most prominent attack was a failed assassination attempt on the interior minister in Cairo in September and the December suicide car bombing that targeted a security headquarters in the Nile Delta city of Mansoura, leaving nearly 16 dead, most of them policemen.
In Thursday’s attack, assailants on two motorcycles and armed with automatic weapons opened fire on the police checkpoint in the el-Wassta district in the province of Bani Suief, south of the Egyptian capital, Cairo, according to a statement from the ministry.
The gunmen then fled the scene, said two security officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
The attack came days before Egyptians mark the third anniversary of the Jan. 25 uprising that toppled longtime authoritarian President Hosni Mubarak.
Egypt has experienced bouts of political violence since Mubarak’s 2011 ouster but attacks targeting police and the military increased after the coup that ousted Mursi.
The military-backed government has blamed the Muslim Brotherhood group, from which Mursi hails, for the attacks, and designated it as a terrorist organization. The group has denied the accusations as baseless.
An Al-Qaeda-inspired group called Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis, or the Champions of Jerusalem, has claimed responsibility for most of the recent attacks, saying they aimed to avenge the killings of Mursi’s supporters in the months-long heavy security crackdown on protesters demanding his reinstatement and denouncing the coup.
Islamists have announced plans for escalating the protests in the coming days while Egypt’s Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim has vowed to confront any act of violence with lethal force.

Saudi Arabia ( American " Women " attend football match at stadium ) Saudi women not allowed

Saudi football fans were taken by surprise on Tuesday when a group of American women turned up at the King Fahd International Stadium in Riyadh to watch the football match between Al-Nasr and Shabab.



 According to press reports, the group of women included senior consultants of US congressmen.
The Americans were allowed to enter the stadium after Prince Faisal bin Turki, president of Al-Nasr Club, received a letter from the Shoura Council stating that the women were interested in attending the match. Some of the women were holding yellow jerseys of Al-Nasr.
The news was a big hit on social networking sites because women are not allowed to enter stadiums across the Kingdom to watch football matches.
It also prompted many Saudi men and women to ask the government to lift the ban on Saudi women entering stadiums to watch football and other matches. “Why do the authorities allow foreign women to enter stadiums while they deny Saudi women the same privilege,” one person asked.
Al-Nasr Club and the Presidency of Youth Welfare organized the VIP lounge for the American women to watch the match. “The move was aimed at impressing the Americans with the Kingdom’s advanced sports facilities,” said a presidency official.
Sulaiman Al-Yousuf, manager of King Fahd Stadium, said the presidency instructed the stadium management to allow the women to watch the football match.

GAZA ( Israel killed two Gaza gunmen in an airstrike on Wednesday )

GAZA: Israel killed two Gaza gunmen in an airstrike on Wednesday, blaming one of them for firing rockets across the border during former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s funeral last week.
Palestinian residents said the dead men belonged to Islamic Jihad, an armed faction that has sometimes defied efforts by the Gaza Strip’s Hamas government to keep truces with Israel.
Islamic Jihad claimed one man, Ahmed Al-Za’anin, as its own, without immediately commenting on the other’s affiliation.



 But Israel’s military, confirming the airstrike in Beit Hanoun, said Za’anin was a former Islamic Jihad member who had joined the more secular Popular Front for Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). The PFLP did not immediately respond.
Za’anin had carried out numerous attacks, the military said, including the launch of rockets into southern Israel as Sharon was being buried there last week in a ceremony attended by US Vice President Joe Biden and other foreign dignitaries.
There were no casualties in that salvo.
Za’anin and the second gunman, his relative, were sitting in a parked car when it was hit by the missile, locals said.
