Tucson Az - Woman injured, dog dies in incident with javelina

TUCSON- A woman was injured and her dog died during an incident involving two javelina on the northwest side Saturday night.

According to Game and Fish spokesman Mark Hart, the woman opened the back door of her house in the 2300 block of W. Ruthrauff Road and her dog broke loose from its collar and attacked two javelina.

During the incident the woman sustained a leg wound and was transported to the hospital.

"Javelina may react instinctively to the presence of dogs, which they cannot distinguish from a natural predator such as a coyote," said Regional Supervisor Raul Vega of Game and Fish in Tucson. "The victim was taken by surprise by the presence of the javelina and unfortunately was unable to control her dog. We recommend that dog owners out walking their pets immediately head in the opposite direction if they encounter javelina."

Filmmakers apologize for fake 'Syrian hero boy' video

In an open letter to Klevberg and the film's financers, journalists and other opponents of the clip wrote, "Syrian children have been the target of snipers, barrel bombs and massive atrocities for over three years, much of which has been documented, painstakingly, by citizen journalists and journalists alike in the most dangerous and dire of circumstances. This film undermines the work and the people who continue to document crimes against humanity."

Colombian girl's dad had her swallow cocaine caps

BOGOTA, Colombia - An 11-year-old girl is in critical condition after doctors removed from her stomach 104 cocaine-filled capsules her father made her swallow to smuggle drugs to Europe, police said Wednesday.

Officers are hunting for the girl's father, who was seen on closed circuit television rushing Monday into an emergency room in Cali with his daughter in his arms, then leaving coolly minutes later.

The capsules contained about a half-kilogram (more than a pound) of narcotics, police said.

Police raided the man's home and say they found a plane ticket to Madrid in the girl's name.

"In 30 years of service I've seen all kinds of strategies to smuggle drugs but nothing as reprehensible as this," Gen. Hoover Penilla, commander of the Cali police, told The Associated Press.

Colombia's child welfare institute says it will take custody of the child.

Egyptian woman dies of bird flu, second death in 2014

Monday, 17 November 2014

An Egyptian woman died on Monday of H5N1 bird flu after coming into contact with infected birds, the second death from the disease this year, a health ministry spokesman told Reuters.

Egypt has identified seven cases of the virus in people this year, including the two who died, Hosam Abdel Gaffar said. 

In the latest case, the woman was 19 and died at a hospital in the southern region of Assiut, he said. 

According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), from 2003 through until October 2, 2014, there have been 668 laboratory-confirmed human cases of H5N1 infection officially reported from 16 countries. Of these cases, 393 have died.

Egypt’s health ministry had announced in an earlier statement the discovery of the disease in a 30-year-old woman in the southern area of Minya, bringing to seven the number of confirmed Egyptian cases of the disease. 

Another of the victims was a three-year-old who had been exposed to infected birds and was doing well, it said. 

The WHO warns that whenever bird flu viruses are circulating in poultry, there is a risk of sporadic infections or small clusters of human cases -- especially in people exposed to infected birds or contaminated environments.

Human cases of H5N1 are rare, however, and the virus does not currently appear to transmit easily from person to person.

Egypt’s H5N1 cases have largely been found in impoverished rural areas in the south of the country, where villagers, particularly women, tend to keep and slaughter poultry in the home.
