At Least 5 Killed and 24 Injured in Suicide Attack in Iraq

BAGHDAD – At least five people died and another 24 were injured Sunday in a suicide attacked carried out against a security checkpoint close to the southern Iraqi city of Najaf, a security source told EFE.

A group of armed assailants attacked a security checkpoint and detonated explosive-laden belts they were wearing when the officers tried to repel them.

The source said armed assailants had been traveling in a modern vehicle when they carried out the attack on a checkpoint in the district of Al-Qadisiyah, some 70 kilometers (43.5 miles) southwest of Najaf, a Shiite holy site some 240 km (150 mi) from Baghdad.

The death toll could go up, the source said, adding that the attack also caused material damage.

The attack has not been claimed by any group so far, and came the day after a double bombing killed at least 28 people in Baghdad.

Islamic State militants claimed responsibility for that attack.

Protests in Brazil after Street Vendor’s Murder on Metro

SAO PAULO – About 50 people protested on Tuesday in Sao Paulo against homophobia after a street vendor was fatally beaten at a metro station while trying to defend a transsexual.

Luiz Carlos Ruas, nicknamed “Indian” for his ethnic roots, was brutally attacked by two men, ages 21 and 26, who beat and kicked him to death.

Carrying rainbow flags, the protests, including several transsexuals, gathered on Tuesday at the Pedro II metro station in Sao Paulo to denounce Ruas’s killing and criticize “hatred” against transsexuals.

“In 2007, I was attacked by nine men and lost a kidney. I only have one now. I know what it is to feel the violence in your own skin. I don’t want that to happen to my friends and colleagues. So, we’re here today asking for justice,” transsexual Renata Moraes Pessoa told EFE.

Moraes called for an “effective and definitive” response by the state to violence against transsexuals.

“It’s not possible to camouflage the truth and say that Brazil is not a transphobic country, because transphobia exists and the evidence is right here,” she said.

Also participating in the demonstration were several priests, including Julio Lancellotti, the director of the Street People Ministry, who paraphrased Pope Francis’s call for everyone to be “respected as brothers.”

“We’re here expressing our outrage over this terrible death and this senseless violence, he said.

The attackers, Ricardo Martins do Nascimento, 21, and Alipio Rogerio Belo dos Santos, 26, have been fugitives since Monday night, when police went to their homes to arrest them, according to what officials with the Sao Paulo Metropolitan Police told EFE.

The two attackers, who have no criminal records, were recognized by their relatives after seeing the images recorded by metro security cameras.

According to the police investigation, the incident began when Ruas tried to stop the two men’s attack on a homeless transsexual.

Police Find 8 Bodies in Western Mexico

MORELIA, Mexico – Police found eight bodies in the western Mexican state of Michoacan, where at least four criminal organizations are waging a turf war, state prosecutors said.

The bodies of the two women and six men were found on Tuesday, the Michoacan Attorney General’s Office said.

The victims had been beheaded and their heads found on Christmas Day in the city of Jiquilpan.

The bodies were found in a wooded area near La Palma, a town outside the city of Venustiano Carranza, located near Jiquilpan.

The arrest of five suspected hitmen on Monday night led police to the bodies, the AG’s office said.

The suspects engaged police in a shootout in Sahuayo, a city adjacent to Jiquilpan, the AG’s office said.

The gunmen apparently belong to Los Viagras, the armed wing of the Nueva Familia drug cartel, which was formed by former members of the Familia Michoacana and Caballeros Templarios gangs.

Police found a “narco message” next to the heads in which the Nueva Familia organization claimed responsibility for the killings and said they were aimed at the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion.
