GUATEMALA CITY ( Four Guatemalan Cops Accused of Extorting Olympic Athlete )

GUATEMALA CITY – Four members of Guatemala’s PNC national police were arrested for their suspected role in the confinement and extortion of an Olympic athlete, the force said on Friday.

Officer Lucas Gonzalez Hernandez and agents Marco Tulio Mejia Recinos, Jose Alberto Gonzalez Hernandez and Jorge Talento Ortiz were detained Thursday night at the Guatemala City police station where they work.

The cops are charged with the crimes of abuse of authority, soliciting a bribe and unlawful detention.

Olympic race walker Jaime Daniel Quiyuch Castañeda reported Wednesday that he was held and extorted by the police.

The bronze medal winner in the 2011 Pan-American Games told Efe that cops detained him on Monday in Guatemala City as he was riding in an automobile with his brother and a friend.

The officers demanded money in exchange for not seizing the vehicle since – they claimed – it was stolen and, when Quiyuch and his companions refused to immediately pay up, they were taken to a police station where they were allowed to make a telephone call to a relative who brought them a sum in cash.

Quiyuch, who competed for Guatemala in the 2012 London Olympics, called his wife, who came to the police station to deliver $260 to the police.

The cops also took the athlete’s cell phone, but they later released him along with the other men and returned the vehicle to them.

Warrants for the arrest of the four officers were issued Thursday.

Quiyuch, 26, was a teammate of the only Olympic medalist in Guatemalan history, Erick Barrondo

CHILPANCINGO, Mexico ( Dismembered Bodies Dumped Near Prosecutor’s Office in Mexico )

CHILPANCINGO, Mexico – Three dismembered bodies were found near a regional delegation of the Mexican Attorney General’s Office in the southern city of Chilpancingo, authorities in Guerrero state said.

Responding to an anonymous telephone tip, Federal Police and soldiers went to the site before dawn Thursday and discovered “three bags with dismembered bodies,” the Guerrero state AG’s office told Efe.

The bags were accompanied by a message threatening state Gov. Angel Aguirre and Chilpancingo Mayor Mario Moreno.

The remains belong to three men between the ages of 25 and 35, the state AG’s office said in a statement, adding that each man had been shot in the head.

Authorities launched an investigation as federal security forces stepped up patrols in Chilpancingo, the state capital, where a gang known as Los Rojos is battling with the upstart Guerreros Sureños for control of the drug trade and other criminal rackets

BEIRUT ( Sunni Fighters Control an Area 5 Times the Size of Lebanon in Syria )

BEIRUT – Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) fighters control all of the eastern section of the Syrian province of Deir Ez-zor and now occupy an area five times the size of Lebanon in Syria, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Thursday.

ISIS, a Sunni insurgent group, took the eastern part of Deir Ez-zor after seizing the province’s largest city, Al Mayadeen, and now also controls the Al Omar oil field, which is Syria’s largest with a production capacity of 73,000 barrels per day, the human rights group said, citing activists.

The group’s forces moved in as fighters from the al-Nusra Front, a branch of Al Qaeda in Syria, and other rebel factions pulled out of the province after announcing they would stop fighting the ISIS, said the London-based group, which has a large network of activists on the ground across Syria.

ISIS forces now dominate an area that extends from the eastern city of al-Bukamal, near the Syria-Iraq border, to the outskirts of the northwestern city of Aleppo.

In the north, the Islamists have taken a large part of the border region between Syria and Turkey, with the exception of Kurdish-majority areas, such as parts of Al Hasaka province, and some Arab villages, while in the south they have reached the central provinces of Hama and Homs.

ISIS proclaimed an Islamic Caliphate Sunday in the large swath of territory it holds across Syria and neighboring Iraq.

The group, now calling itself just the Islamic State, has been fighting several other rebel groups, including the al-Nusra Front, in Syria since January

MIAMI ( Hurricane Arthur Heading for North Carolina’s Outer Banks )

MIAMI – Hurricane Arthur will hit the North Carolina coast on Thursday night packing winds of up to 150 kilometers per hour (93 mph), the Miami-based National Hurricane Center predicted.

In its 7 p.m. advisory, the NHC said that the center of the storm is located 55 km (35 mi.) south of Cape Fear and 225 km (140 mi.) southwest of Cape Hatteras, both of which are in North Carolina, and is moving north-northeast at 24 kph (15 mph).

A hurricane reconnaissance aircraft sent to monitor the storm found that Arthur has maximum sustained winds of about 150 kph (93 mph) with heavier gusts and is expected to strengthen in the coming hours.

Given this forecast, experts anticipate that Arthur will be a Category 2 storm with winds above 154 kph (95 mph) when it makes landfall on – or brushes – the North Carolina coast and will then begin to weaken on Friday evening.

On Saturday, if the forecast holds, the hurricane will weaken to a post-tropical storm.

Authorities said that a hurricane warning is in effect for Surf City, North Carolina, to the North Carolina-Virginia border, Pamlico Sound and Eastern Albemarle Sound, while a hurricane watch is in effect for the area from Little River Inlet to south of Surf City.

Arthur is the first hurricane of the Atlantic storm season, which began on June 1 and will last until Nov. 30.

The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts that 8-13 tropical storms will form this season, of which 3-6 will become hurricanes and one or two will be powerful storms

WASHINGTON ( Two Cases of Swine Flu Detected in Immigrant Children )

WASHINGTON – U.S. health authorities detected two cases of the H1N1 swine flu virus in Central American immigrant children who are being held in detention facilities in Texas' Rio Grande Valley, an executive of the Border Patrol union said.

Chris Cabrera, vice president of National Border Patrol Council Local 3307, confirmed the cases to KGBT television's Action 4 News.

Cabrera said that one of the cases was detected at the Border Patrol station in Brownsville and the other at Fort Brown.

Both cases were verified last Friday by medical personnel providing health care at those facilities, where some 120 people have been quarantined against the possibility that they may have come in contact with the infected children.

The U.S. government has acknowledged that it is facing an “urgent humanitarian situation” with the massive arrival of unaccompanied children crossing the border from Mexico. Most of the kids are coming from Central America, and their numbers have exceeded 47,000 over the past seven months.
