Millions of people have gathered for the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Islams holy city Picture: Reuters Saudi arabia: Officials say 48 people have died and 900 were rescued after the heaviest rainfall in years. An interior ministry statement blamed the deaths, reported in the port city of Jiddah, Rabigh and Mecca, on flooding and collapsed homes. However, none of the casualties was among the millions of pilgrims who are in the country for the Hajj. While the downpours have ceased, there are fears of more rain to come. The four- day pilgrimage draws more than 3million Muslims from every corner of the globe, who see it as the culmination of their religious duties and aspiration. Fatal stampedes have marred the pilgrimage in the past. ViETNaM: A man dug up his wifes corpse and slept beside her for five years because he wanted to hug her in bed. The 55-year-old opened up his wifes grave in 2004, moulded clay around the remains to give the figure of a woman, put clothes on her and then placed her in his bed. Le Van said that after his wife died in 2003 he slept on top of her grave, but about 20 months later bad weather forced him to stop, so he decided to dig a tunnel into the grave. His children found out, though, and stopped him from going to the grave. But one night he simply dug up her remains and took them home. The father of seven admitted, with a smile, that the neighbours stopped visiting too. HONduraS: The Supreme Court yesterday ruled that ousted president Manuel Zelaya cannot legally return to office, halting any possibility of his reinstatement. In June, Mr Zelaya (pictured) was removed from office and sent into exile on orders from the same court. Congress then swore in Roberto Micheletti to head the new government, but the world denounced the move and refused to recognise the interim government. The ruling comes ahead of Sundays presidential elections, in which neither Mr Zelaya nor Mr Micheletti are running. SOMaLia: Two journalists released after 15 months in captivity said they were tortured and feared being sold on to hardline rebels in the anarchic Horn of Africa nation. Canadian reporter Amanda Lindhout (pictured) and Nigel Brennan, a freelance Australian photojournalist, were kidnapped in Mogadishu in August 2008. Both Mr Brennan and Ms Lindhout said they had been tortured and beaten. While foreign hostages are usually released after a ransom has been paid, local aid workers and journalists have been killed this year. CHiNa: Two crooks spent more than a month digging a tunnel through solid rock into a jewellery store only to be arrested the minute they stepped out with their loot. The pair found police waiting for them as they emerged from the 30m (100ft) tunnel dug underneath a road in Jiangyang. Police had the tunnel under surveillance after motorists reported a dip in the road. By RINA CHANDRAN Massacre victims are rememberedMUMBAI yesterday held tearful memorials and police staged a show of strength as Indias financial hub marked the first anniversary of mili- tant raids that killed 174 people and pushed up tensions with Pakistan. Onlookers waved Indian flags and banners with slogans such as End The Violence as police commandos with new weapons and armoured cars tracked the route taken by the ten gunmen who staged the attack. The raids highlighted the lack of preparedness of India to terrorism and showed how regional tension in South Asia could undermine stabil- ity in Asias economic powerhouse. Residents lit candles outside a Jewish centre, one of several sites from luxury hotels to the citys big- gest railway station, targeted by the Pakistan-based militants in a three- day rampage which also left more than 300 people injured. Outside the Trident hotel, a black granite column read: In memory of our guests and our staff. We just wanted to show our sup- port and show that we care, said Subir Kumar Singh, who left a mes- sage on a banner outside the Leopold cafe, a popular tourist spot still pocked with bullet marks. Many foreigners, including US, British and Canadian citizens died. The police march sought to show better preparedness. Many police, some armed with sticks or old rifles, were reported to have fled the at- tackers who used grenades and au- tomatic rifles. While there has been some im- provement in security, most Indians feel it is not enough, and a similar attack could shake what has so far proved to be a resilient economy. Nine militants were killed by po- lice in the attacks. The lone survi- vor, Mohammad Ajmal Kasab, is on trial and could face the gallows if found guilty. Some residents shouted Hang Kasab as they walked past the sea- front Taj Mahal Hotel, where the militants, guided by handlers in Pa- kistan by telephone, battled com- mandos in plush corridors. New Delhi has sought to bring in- ternational pressure on Islamabad to act against militants operating from its soil, including the Pakistan-based group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) which has been blamed for masterminding the raids. The government of Pakistan could do more to bring to book people who are still roaming around the country freely, to dismantle the in- frastructure of terrorism... said Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. index.html2.html3.html4.html5.html6.html7.html8.html9.html10.html11.html12.html13.html14.html15.html16.html17.html18.html19.html20.html21.html22.html23.html24.html25.html26.html27.html28.html29.html30.html31.html32.html33.html34.html35.html
