More than 8,000 Fugitives Arrested in Sweep Across US

Image
The Justice Department says more than 8,000 violent fugitives were arrested during a six-week operation. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and the U.S. Marshals Service announced the results Wednesday of an initiative known as Operation Violent Reduction 12. Yates called the effort "targeted and focused" and said it focused on a dozen communities across the country that have high rates of violent crime. Officials say the marshals targeted people with open warrants for violent crimes such as murder, armed robbery and aggravated assault. Among those arrested were 559 fugitives wanted for homicide, 648 gang members and 946 sex offenders. One of the men had been a fugitive for more than 15 years and was wanted in Ohio on charges of repeatedly raping a young child. Source: http://www.newsmax.com

Some try and cover up their own acts of brutality, murder and even torture. Police corruption happens in New York, Los Angeles, New Orleans and every major U.S. city and is conducted by officers of all races, creeds and colors. 5.

Nazi treasure worth $37 billion of treasure hidden around Germany

Image
AS Nazi Germany began to fall in 1945 its leaders set about hiding the treasures they looted for the previous six years. Priceless art and silver, some of it stolen from the Jewish people they sent to the gas chambers, artefacts taken from museums and tonnes of gold — all stashed in mines or sunk in lakes as defeat in World War Two loomed,  The Sun  reported. While some of these cultural treasures were saved by Allied units, around $37 billion of loot is still missing. And the hunt for it is still on. Last year, locals in the Polish town of Walbrzych claimed to have found evidence of secret railway tunnels where, legend has it, Third Reich generals hid a train loaded with gold and jewellery. In 2012 a $1.8b horde of art, some of it stolen by the Nazis, was uncovered in a Munich flat. Treasure hunters have also focused on various lakes where billions in Reichsbank gold was thought to have been dumped. Here, we pick out what is still missing — and where it mig...

Battle for Supremacy: One feared dead in Lafiaji street war

Image
ONE person was feared killed in a gang war which raged between Saturday and yesterday in Lafiaji, Lagos Island. The fight started around 1am on Saturday. Eyewitnesses said Louis, Simpson, Hawley, Igbosere, Pike, Okesuna, Foresight and Agbole streets were no-go areas during the mayhem. All is now calm. The Nation  learnt that over 50 vehicles were also destroyed during the clash. An elder in the community, Mr Fredrick Joseph, said the gangsters shot at one another. He said some money given to the gangs by a politician led to the fight. “I think both groups did not share the money equally; that was what caused the fight. It was until soldiers were deployed to our area that everything died down. This incident has been happening for a while but the police are yet to treat the situation. When they came on Saturday, they didn’t make peace but instead they were disturbing motorcyclists and tricyclists. It was not until soldiers came that the situation died down. If the gove...

Commuter in trouble for ‘filming woman’s private parts’ on board train

Image
A MAN has been charged with allegedly filming up the clothing of a young woman as she slept on a Newcastle-bound train last week. The 22-year-old woman boarded the intercity train from Central about 10.30am on Thursday and woke about 1pm to allegedly find a man using his mobile phone to film up her shorts. In a post to social media, she said she had been wearing shorts at the time and had drifted off to sleep with her knees pulled up in front of her. She confronted the man, pulling out her own mobile phone and filming him. The man left the train at Cardiff station, just outside Newcastle. She reported the incident to officers from the Police Transport Command at Broadmeadow station. Police arrested a 30-year-old man in Cessnock, in the NSW Hunter Valley, this morning. They seized a phone and computer hard drives from a home and the items have been turned over to specialist investigators. The Cessnock man has been charged with filming person’s private parts withou...

Lucky or Unlucky: Teen was at Paris, Boston and Brussels bombings

Image
A TEENAGER wounded during the Brussels attacks may be the luckiest unlucky man in the world, having also narrowly escaped harm at the Boston bombings and in the November terror in Paris. Mason Wells, a 19-year-old from Utah, was hospitalised with serious injuries along with his fellow Mormon missionaries Richard Norby, 66, and Joseph Empey, 20. He had moved to Belgium after serving the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Paris, and was in France when the terror attacks rocked the city in November. The teenager, who suffered second- and third-degree burns to his hand and head and ruptured his Achilles tendon at Brussels Airport, was also a block away from the finish line of the Boston marathon when bombs exploded in 2013. He had been watching his mother compete in the race. Incredibly, Mason said today that he felt lucky, because he had been so close to so many terrorist attacks and survived. “He said he wanted us to know he was blessed because he was right nex...
