With F.B.I. Search, U.S. Escalates Global Fight Over Chinese Police Outposts
Beijing says the outposts aren’t doing police work, but Chinese state media reports say they “collect intelligence” and solve crimes far outside their jurisdiction.

Police find baby in locked cage during drug bust in Haifa
Mother of six arrested for false imprisonment, neglect and abuse; detectives find large quantities of suspected illicit drugs next door, arrest two residents
Police said Monday that they had rescued a baby discovered locked inside a metal cage during a drug search in an apartment building in the northern city of Haifa.
Detectives were “shocked” to find the 1-year-old boy in the enclosure, with only a pillow and a bottle, police said in a statement. The baby’s five other siblings were also located in the apartment.
The 35-year-old mother was not present when they arrived at the home on Sunday evening, police said.
“She was brought to the scene, then arrested by detectives for false imprisonment, neglect and abuse of a helpless minor,” police added. The whereabouts of the children’s father were not immediately clear.
Municipal welfare officers were dispatched to the home to take care of the child and his siblings, according to the statement.
During the operation, police arrested two men, aged 22 and 27, in a different apartment inside the same building after finding substances suspected to be crystal meth and hashish in commercial quantities.
Police said they would ask the Haifa Magistrate’s Court to extend the custody of the three suspects.

Sheriff's deputies removed 11 disabled children from a home where some of the youngsters were made to sleep in cages less than 3 feet high, authorities said.
The children's adoptive parents, Mike and Sharen Gravelle (search), denied during a custody hearing Monday that they'd abused or neglected the children. No charges had been filed as of Monday night, and telephones at the county prosecutor's office repeatedly rang busy Tuesday morning.
One official agreed that there was no sign of abuse.
"The impression that we got was that [the parents] felt it was OK," Lt. Randy Sommers of the Huron County Sheriff's Office told The (Lorain) Morning Journal.
He said a baby slept in a small bed and two girls used mattresses, and the remaining children slept in the cages.
The Gravelles said a psychiatrist recommended they make the children sleep in the cages at night, County Prosecutor Russell Leffler said. The cages, averaging about 30 inches high, 40 inches wide and 40 inches deep, were stacked in bedrooms on the second floor of the house, officials said.
The children, ages 1 to 14, were described as having conditions that included autism (search) and fetal alcohol syndrome (search).
Deputies were called Friday by a children's services investigator who visited the home and spotted a face peering out of one of the cages, Sommers said. The investigator was sent after the county received a complaint, said Erich Dumbeck, director of the Huron County Department of Job and Family Services. He would not say who complained.
Some of the cages were rigged with alarms, Sommers said, and one had a dresser in front of it. One boy said he'd slept in the cage for three years, he said.
The children were placed with four foster families Monday and were doing well, Dumbeck said. He said he saw them hugging their new foster parents and they seemed relieved.
"We're still trying to figure out what happened in that home," Dumbeck said Tuesday. "We don't have any indication at this point that there was any abuse."
The family has lived in Huron County for 10 years but most of the children were adopted through other Ohio counties, and two through other states, Dumbeck said. He said his agency was trying to determine how the adoptions originated.
"I don't believe there were any caseworkers checking in with this family," he said. "These kids were home schooled and they lived in the country where neighbors were spread out."
Dumbeck said it was unclear whether the Gravelles received adoption subsidies, which can range from $100 to $1,000 a month.

One wretched fellow slipped from the rope by which he was tied to the guns just before the explosion, and his arm was nearly set on fire. While hanging in his agony under the gun, a sergeant applied a pistol to his head; and three times the cap snapped, the man each time wincing from the expected shot. At last, a rifle was fired into the back of his head, and the blood poured out of the nose and mouth like water from a briskly handled pump. This was the most horrible sight of all. I have seen death in all its forms, but never anything to equal this man's end.

The Tripoli pirates had finally managed to refloat Philadelphia. Americans believed that the warship was too great a prize to be allowed to remain in foreign hands, so the Navy decided to recapture or destroy it. After the United States had captured the Tripolitan ketch Mastico, it renamed her as Intrepid, but re-rigged the ship with short masts and triangular sails to look like a local ship.
Lieutenant Stephen Decatur, son of USS Philadelphia's first captain, led a party of 83 volunteers to carry out this task. On February 16, 1804, under the cover of night and in the guise of a ship in distress that had lost all anchors in a storm and needed a place to tie up, Decatur sailed Intrepid next to Philadelphia. The Americans boarded the prize and, after making sure that she was not seaworthy, burned the ship where she lay in Tripoli Harbor. Decatur's force suffered only one wounded member and killed at least 20 Tripolitans.

Sam Bankman-Fried's secret 'backdoor' discovered, FTX lawyer says
Bankruptcy lawyers said Sam Bankman-Fried's Alameda had access to a $65 billion credit line from FTX.
The customer loans were made available via a backdoor created by FTX cofounder Gary Wang, they said.
The money was used for luxury purchases like planes, parties, and political donations, the court heard.
