Two Palestinians killed after stabbing a soldier

Jerusalem Sunday, Reuters, 27 December 2015 

Israeli forces shot dead two Palestinians in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, the army said, the latest attack in 12 weeks of heightened violence.

Since the start of October, Israeli forces or armed civilians have killed at least 130 Palestinians, 81 of whom authorities described as assailants. Most of the others have been killed in clashes with security forces.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health said the two Palestinians were relatives, one aged 17 and the other, 23.

The surge in violence has been fueled by Palestinians’ frustration over Israel’s 48-year occupation of land they seek for an independent state, and the expansion of settlements in those territories which were captured by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war.

Palestinian leaders say a younger generation sees no hope for the future living under Israeli security restrictions and with a stifled economy. The latest round of U.S.-brokered peace talks collapsed in April 2014.

Top Syrian Rebel Leader Killed in Bombing Outside Damascus

BEIRUT – The leader of Jaysh al-Islam, Zahran Alloush, one of the best known rebel leaders of Syria, died on Friday in a bombing in the region of Eastern Ghouta, the main opposition stronghold outside Damascus, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

The circumstances and the timing of his death are still unclear.

The NGO, citing senior leaders within the rebel organization, said that Alloush died along with five other leaders of the group and eight militants during a meeting held in Eastern Ghouta. Dozens of the rebel fighters were also injured in the bombing.

It is unknown whether the bombing was carried out by Syrian regime or Russian aircraft.

Syrian authorities accuse the group of firing rockets from Eastern Ghouta against the center of Damascus.

Burkov and Russian consuls be allowed to visit him. "We decisively condemn this regular case of exterritorial use of US legislation regarding the national of the Russian Federation," he underscored. "This strongly unacceptable practice has already become chronic." "The American authorities keep stubbornly violating relevant norms of international law, infringing upon the legitimate rights and interests of Russian nationals, ignoring the bilateral regulatory and legal framework in the law enforcement sphere," Dolgov said. "We responsibly state once again that this is a dead-end track, which complicates even more the Russian-American relations that are living through hard times through no fault of ours," he said. "We demand that all information on the grounds for arrest of the Russian national be provided immediately and consular access be provided to him urgently," Dolgov underscored. "We hope the Israeli authorities will prevent extradition of A.Y.Burkov to the United States, where he, like many other Russian nationals, would surely be in for politicized and biased ‘justice’," Dolgov said.
 

8 cops Arrested for Alleged Torturing of four kids

BRASILIA – Eight military police officers were arrested Saturday on suspicion of torturing four youths in this Brazilian metropolis, officials said.

The Military Police of Rio de Janeiro State said it ordered the officers’ arrest after finding evidence of their involvement in the alleged torture of four motorcycle-riding young people who were stopped at a police checkpoint on Christmas night.

The youths, whose identities were not revealed, said the police burned them with cigarette lighters, cut them with a hot knife and even forced one of them to perform oral sex on one of the officers, according to media reports.

The incident occurred in Santa Teresa, a neighborhood near downtown Rio de Janeiro that is surrounded by shantytowns, or “favelas,” but is also a popular nightspot.

The youths were returning from a party when they were stopped by police because some members of the group were not wearing helmets, the local press reported.

The authorities confirmed that the detained officers were on-duty at the time with a police pacification unit, or UPP.

Five years ago, the Rio de Janeiro state government adopted a pacification policy that calls for establishing robust public services and a permanent police presence through the UPPs in shantytowns that had previously been dominated by criminal gangs

Most Obese Man in the World Dies in Mexico

MEXICO CITY – The Mexican Andres Moreno, considered the most obese man in the world, has died in Ciudad Obregon in the northwestern state of Sonora, just two months after undergoing an operation to lose weight. He was 38.

A message posted by a relative on Moreno’s Facebook page said: “Friends and family, I regret to inform you that Andres Moreno has died, I ask you to pray for him.”

As reported in local media, family members of the deceased said the Sonora native died from a heart attack and problems of peritonitis.

The Mexican, who reached 444 kilos (978 lbs.) at his most obese, underwent last Oct. 28 a surgical procedure known as biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch in Guadalajara, Jalisco state, at Arboledas Hospital’s Gastric Bypass Center.

At the time of the operation, the Mexican weighed 323 kilos (711 lbs.).

On Nov. 25, Moreno had to have an emergency operation to remove a hernia affecting the intestine, Dr. Jose Castañeda told EFE at the time.

Doctors removed almost 80 centimeters (2 feet, 7 inches) of Moreno’s intestine, because the hernia had “strangled” part of that organ, the doctor said.

Almost a month after the initial operation that allowed him to take his first steps by himself after many years of depending on other people to move him around and take care of him, Moreno had lost close to 30 kilos (66 lbs.) and said it had changed his life.
