In a two-year investigation, Amnesty found rampant human rights violations including torture and executions of suspects committed by officers. Many unlawful killings happen during police operations. In other cases, the police shoot and kill drivers who fail to pay them bribes at checkpoints, the report stated. Erwin van der Borght, director of Amnestys Africa programme, said: The majority of the cases go uninvestigated and the police officers responsible go unpunished. IRAN: A nuclear official says the purpose of a UN warning station set up in Turkmenistan near the countrys border is espionage. The new nuclear warning station, announced last week is one of dozens of such observatories worldwide that monitor for seismic activity and radioactivity. The station, just miles from the Iranian border, can detect extremely weak blasts and even shock waves from nuclear experiments. Abolfazl Zohrehvand, an adviser to the countrys nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalil, says the station will only give world powers an opportunity to spy on Iran. The West worries Tehran seeks to build a nuclear weapon, a charge which Iran denies. AMERICA: Frances biggest rock star, Johnny Hallyday, is in hospital in Los Angeles for an infection following back surgery. A statement from his Paris press office says Hallyday (pictured), an entertainment icon for decades, is under observation for the infection linked to surgery on a herniated disc. The statement says he should be out in a few days but gives no other details. Hallyday is on a multi-country tour called Route 66, a reference to his age and homage to the American rock that has inspired his music. PhIlIPPINEs: Police yesterday named 161 suspects in the massacre of 57 people last month in the countrys worst election violence. They include government militiamen led by members of a powerful clan facing murder and rebellion charges. Witnesses have said Andal Ampatuan Jr (pictured), a scion of the clan, led the group of militiamen who attacked a rivals convoy in Maguindanao. The dead included 30 journalists. Witnesses said Ampatuan shot some of the victims. The bodies bore bullet wounds in the mouth and chest fired from close range. AMERICA: A holy cow in Connecticut, perhaps? Or maybe a divine bovine? A calf named Moses with a white marking on his forehead in the shape of a cross has been born at a dairy farm in Sterling. Owner Brad Davis said he thinks the marking may be a message from above, though hes still trying to figure out what that message might be. Escape plan: Kim Jong-Il A child jumps next to a Playmobil character at the first ever exhibit in France of the iconic toy in Paris yesterday Picture: EPA hes this tallA DEFECTOR from North Korea has revealed that the countrys capital Pyongyang has a network of secret tunnels that could be used by top officials to escape in an emergency. Hwang Jang-yop told Seoul-based Free North Korea Radio earlier this week that the tunnels were built 300m (984ft) underground, stretching for up to 50km (31 miles). He said North Korean leader Kim Jong-il could even use one tunnel to escape to China. Mr Hwang, a former secretary of North Koreas ruling party who defected in 1997, said the under- ground network connects Pyongyang with several other strategic sites By ELLEN OrEILLy N Koreas secret tunnels revealed across the country. One such tunnel stretched 40km south-west of the city to the port of Nampo. Mr Hwang said North Korea had started building the network shortly after the armistice at the end of the 1950-53 Korean war. The defector added that Mr Kim and his family had an exclusive bun- ker linked by tunnels to Sunchon (40km north), which South Korea says has a uranium mine, and Yong- won (some 50km north-west), where his father, former leader Kim Il-sung, had a villa. He claimed the Sunchon tunnel had clean spring water and green grass. Pyongyang also has a 150m-deep underground railway, which could be used as a shelter for civilians in case of any emergency. 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.html
