Mexico City ( Police Chief, Deputy Chief Murdered in Western Mexico )

MEXICO CITY – The police chief and deputy police chief of Tarimbaro, a city in the western Mexican state of Michoacan, were murdered, police spokesmen said Wednesday.

The bodies of chief Luis Manuel Gonzalez Magaña and deputy chief Osvaldo Rendon Salcedo were found Tuesday afternoon after police received a report that two bodies were lying by an SUV parked behind the Las Chalupas bar in the community of Uruetaro.

Officers found the bodies of the two chiefs, who were holding their pistols and had been shot several times, by the vehicle.

Gonzalez Magaña and Rendon Salcedo had been reported missing on Monday, police said.

Investigators are trying to determine the motive for the killings and find those responsible, the Michoacan Attorney General’s Office said.

Salvador Gonzalez Magaña, the former police chief in Tarimbaro and brother of Luis Manuel Gonzalez Magaña, was murdered in March, media reports said.

Michoacan has been rocked by a wave of drug-related violence in recent months.

Michoacan’s forests and mountains are used by drug traffickers to grow marijuana and produce synthetic drugs.

China ( smugglers dig tunnel into Hong Kong )

HONG KONG: The underground path had “one end in a rented garage in Shenzhen and another in a thicket of reeds in Hong Kong, totally concealed,” said a report posted on its official website.
“It was dug in a totally professional way,” it said.
Semi-autonomous Hong Kong, along with Shenzhen in mainland China, are both important trade hubs for the fast-growing and massive market.
But the two have very different tariff systems.

 The as-yet unidentified smugglers sought to exploit their proximity by building a 40-meter-long underground passage and installing a rail track and wagon with a block-and-tackle system to ferry goods such as cell phones and tablet computers.
The tunnel stood about 0.8 meters wide and 1 meter high, just big enough for an adult to crawl through.
It started from a remote area of Shenzhen, in a garage full of bags packed with sludge dug up from the tunnel, and ended in a cluster of tall reeds a few meters past a river dividing mainland China and Hong Kong, with the nearest village 20 meters away.
The project was estimated to have cost three million yuan ($490,000) and taken four months to build.
Border officers discovered the tunnel a week ago, and a nearby resident said she heard drilling noises for one or two nights but assumed they were for renovations.
The man who rented the garage had used a fake ID, authorities were quoted as saying

Saudi Arabia ( Rescue operation to save a " 6 year old Girl " who fell 100 ft into a Well )

Rescue operations to free a six-year-old girl, Lama, who had fallen into a 100-meter-deep well in Tabuk, have been hampered by adverse weather conditions and loose soil at the site.
An official said she might be freed in the next 24 hours as reports suggested that the rescuers were close to reaching her.

 The Saudi Red Crescent, and municipal and health officials are involved in the operation.
Civil Defense teams are digging a parallel borehole to reach the child.
Police are also looking for the landowner who dug the well and left it uncovered.
It has now been six days since Lama fell into the well in Haql area near Tabuk.
She was on a weekend picnic at the spot with her parents when she fell into the well that was partly covered and had no warning signs.
Lama’s father called the Civil Defense and police after hearing Lama’s screams.
There has since been a full-scale rescue operation under way monitored by Tabuk Gov. Prince Fahd bin Sultan.
Brig. Mastour Al-Harithy, director of Tabuk’s Civil Defense, has been camping at the site with dozens of personnel, including specialist geologists from Saudi Aramco.
Col. Mamdouh Al-Anzi, media spokesperson for the Civil Defense in Tabuk, said officials lowered a camera into the well, which found that Lama was at a depth of 30 meters in the 100-meter-deep and half-meter-wide well.
He said Civil Defense teams are working around the clock with their machinery.
Al-Anzi said the rescue operation was halted for some time due to strong winds and falling sand and rocks. However, the rescuers had almost reached the child on Wednesday, and it was likely she would be freed in the next 24 hours, he said.
The relatives of the girl wanted to join the rescue operations but officials stopped them because they might endanger the child in the sandy area.
