(AP) UNITED NATIONS – The U.N. peacekeeping chief has told the Security Council that it’s too dangerous for U.N. observers in Syria to resume their mission. A diplomat who spoke on condition of anonymity said Tuesday that Herve Ladsous told a closed council meeting that the mission could restart at some point but that for the time being, it’s too dangerous. U.N. forces in Syria repeatedly came under fire before the U.N. suspended the 300-member mission earlier this month. Maj. Gen. Robert Mood, 순창출장만남 the mission’s head, told the council at the time that the observers had suffered direct fire at least 10 times, had been in several indirect fire incidents. He said nine U.N. vehicles had been damaged or struck by small arms fire. Syria’s rebels not as Islamist as you think – yetWatch: Condoleezza Rice calls on U.S. to arm Syria...

(AP) NEW YORK – Two dozen people on four continents have been arrested in an elaborate sting targeting a black market for online financial fraud, 공주출장샵 federal officials in New York said Tuesday. U.S. officials called the crackdown in United States, Europe, Asia and Australia the largest enforcement effort ever against hackers who steal credit card, bank and other information on the Internet – a practice known as “carding.” The officials claimed the two-year FBI sting protected more than 400,000 potential victims and prevented losses of around $205 million. The arrests “cause significant disruption to the underground economy and are a stark reminder that masked IP addresses and private forums are no sanctuary for criminals and are not beyond the reach of the FBI,” Janice Fedarcyk, head of the FBI’s New York office, said in a statement. According to a criminal complaint unsealed on Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan, the suspects bought and sold hacking programs and stolen information via secure websites. In June 2010, undercover investigators set up their own website “as an online meeting place where the FBI could locate cybercriminals, investigate and identify them and disrupt their activities.” The complaint charges one alleged hacker using the name “OxideDox” with fraud. Undercover agents bought stolen data related to 15 American Express, MasterCard and Discover accounts from the defendant, the complaint said. In one instance, an undercover...

A bumper crop of deadly wild “death cap” mushrooms in northern California is likely to blame for the poisonings of 14 people in December, health officials say. The culprit: Amanita phalloides, believed to be the world’s most dangerous mushroom. All 14 recovered, but three required liver transplants, and a toddler suffered permanent brain damage, the researchers reported. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that anyone picking wild mushrooms have them evaluated by a specialist before eating them. “Wild-picked mushrooms should be evaluated by a trained mycologist [fungi expert] before ingestion,” according to the report published in the June 2 issue of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. “Inexperienced foragers should be strongly discouraged from eating any wild mushrooms,” wrote Dr. Kathy Vo, of the University of California, San Francisco’s department of emergency medicine, and colleagues. The 14 people described in the report had eaten wild mushrooms they picked themselves or received from others. In previous years, the California Poison Control System had only received a few reports of mushroom poisonings each year. The large outbreak may be related to a reported increase in the growth of wild mushrooms in 2016, triggered by greater rainfall and warm weather at the end of northern California’s autumn. “Although weather conditions and increased numbers of A. phalloides poisonings do not prove a cause-and-effect relationship, early seasonal rainfall and warmer subsequent temperatures made a...

Updated at 11:20 a.m. ET (AP) GENEVA – The violence in Syria has worsened since a cease-fire deal in April and the bloodshed appears to be taking on dangerous sectarian overtones, the U.N. said Wednesday. Investigators say they have concluded that Syrian government troops could be behind the killing of more than 100 civilians in the village of Houla last month. The findings, which were presented to the U.N.’s top human rights body, could lay some of the groundwork for prosecuting alleged crimes against humanity and other abuses in Syria. Reflecting the sense of urgency, senior diplomats said world powers are planning to meet Saturday in Geneva in an attempt to end the bloodshed, with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Russia Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov saying they will attend. Notably uninvited were major regional players Saudi Arabia and Iran, 칠곡출장샵 and Syria itself.
