What a catch! Fisherman nets in 48kg of cocaine worth US$4m

 

MAJURO: A fisherman in the Marshall Islands netted more than he bargained for when he hauled in his catch to find a suspected 48 kilos (106 pounds) of cocaine.

 

The white powder, professionally wrapped and taped in plastic bags, had a street value of about US$4 million , police said Friday.

 

“We’re pretty sure we got all of it,” deputy police commissioner Robson Almen added, saying there was no indication the packs had broken out from a larger bundle.

 

Almen said the fisherman called the police when he found the drugs last week while trawling off Kwajalein Atoll, 494 kilometres (307 miles) from the capital Majuro.

 

Marshall Islands law enforcement personnel have requested US Drug Enforcement Agency assistance as the western Pacific territory does not have a laboratory capable of confirming the substance is cocaine.

 

However, the remote archipelago, which is on the northern trans-Pacific cocaine route from South America to Asia, has a history of cocaine finds.

 

Between 2002 and 2009, bundles of cocaine and boats with cocaine on board were found washed up on beaches around the Marshall Islands on at least six occasions.

Sabah CM: Time to go on the offensive against cross-border criminals

 

TAWAU: Sabah has called on the federal government to look into the need to take offensive action against robberies and kidnap for ransom cases in the Eastern Sabah Security Zone (ESSZone).

 

Its Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal said the time has come for Malaysia to stop taking a defensive attitude as these criminal activities had clearly affected the tourism sector as well as the security of locals and foreign workers who came to Malaysia to find a living.

 

"They (foreign workers) came to work in Malaysia and they also do not want to be kidnapped.

 

“It will not work if we keep playing defensive, I think it is time for us to go on the offensive,” he said.

 

He was speaking to reporters at a Parti Warisan Sabah membership form handover ceremony for new members in Kalabakan division here on Saturday.

Women accuse famous Brazil spiritual 'healer' of sex abuse

 

RIO DE JANEIRO: Several women have come forward in Brazil to accuse an internationally known self-proclaimed spiritual healer of sexually abusing them under pretext of trying to ‘cure’ them of depression or other problems.

 

The allegations against Joao Teixeira de Faria, 76, better known as “Joao de Deus” (“Joao of God”) were made late Friday on a program on the widely viewed Globo Television network.

 

A Dutch choreographer identified as Zahira Leeneke Maus and nine Brazilian women who remained anonymous accused Faria of making them masturbate him or perform fellatio, which he insisted was the only way to transfer his “cleansing” energy to them.

 

Maus also told the program that Faria had raped her.

 

The associated O Globo newspaper later reported that it had spoken to two other women who gave similar accounts of sexual abuse by Faria, bringing the total to a dozen.

 

All the women said they were aged in their 30s when the alleged acts took place between 2010 and early this year in Faria’s “spiritual hospital” in the town of Abadiania, close to the capital Brasilia.

223 terrorists killed in Jammu&Kashmir this year, highest in 8 years

 

NEW DELHI: Violence has run high in Jammu & Kashmir this year, with terrorists killed at a eight-year high of 223 while terror-related incidents rose to 429 from 342 last year and civilian casualties shot up to 77 from 40. The number of security personnel killed is 80, the same as last year.

 

The figures reflect increased attacks mounted by terrorists from Pakistan with the support of local cadres in the Kashmir Valley even as the Army stepped up security counter-measures and also warned that stone-throwers at encounter sites will be treated as over-ground supporters of terrorists.

 

According to home ministry data, the figure was higher only in 2010 when 232 terrorists were killed.

 

The number is likely to rise with more than three weeks to go before the year ends with an encounter in progress near Srinagar even on Saturday. The number of terrorists killed this year has already surpassed the figure of 213 recorded in 2017, according to official statistics accessed by TOI.

 

Of the 223 terrorists killed, 93 were foreigners. While 81 of the terrorists were killed over a period of 80 days since local body and panchayat elections were announced on September 15 in the state, 51 were killed in the preceding 80 days between June 25 and September 14.
