(AP) ATHENS, Greece – Greek police arrested four people Saturday for accidentally causing a fire raging south of Athens and threatening houses. Three firefighters have been injured, one with extensive burns, but no civilian casualties have been reported. Police say the four were doing a welding job at a construction site early Saturday afternoon when a spark hit dry grass and ignited a fire. Strong winds quickly spread the fire which is now ranging on a 12-kilometer front to the west and south of the town of Keratea, 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of Athens, burning several houses in the process. At dusk, the 12 airplanes and two helicopters operating in the area had to be withdrawn and the fire is being fought on the ground, with 115 vehicles and over 300 firefighters taking part. A home for the elderly was evacuated and its 42 residents moved to a nearby resort, authorities said. Three smaller fires that also started near Athens late Saturday afternoon have been brought under control. One, in the district of Pallini, just east of the capital, started in dry grass and threatened an ice cream factory, partly burning some outbuildings. Fourteen vans outside the factory went up in flames. Two other fires broke out in the northwest and southeast corners of the southern Greek Peloponnese peninsula, 룰렛 필승 전략 requiring dozens of fire vehicles to...

(AP) WELLINGTON, New Zealand – Two U.S. students trapped in the New Zealand wilderness by a snowstorm trekked back out to safety after surviving their nine-day ordeal by rationing their meager supplies of trail mix and warming themselves in hot springs. Alec Brown and 청도출장업소 Erica Klintworth, both 21, returned to the city of Christchurch on Monday after meeting up with members of a search team — famished but otherwise in good shape, police said. The two students, on a foreign study program in New Zealand with University of Wisconsin Stevens Point, had planned to hike and camp for a few days at some hot springs on the country’s South Island. But heavy rains and a snowstorm during the Southern Hemisphere winter prevented the couple from being able to cross a river and return. “Unfortunately it rained and rained, day after day, and snowed,” Alec Brown wrote in an email to The Associated Press Monday. He said the nights were tough to take because the rain and sleet pounded down on the tarpaulin covering their sleeping hammock and the river roared — reminding them all the time of their predicament. When they realized they were going to be stuck they started rationing: “a biscuit and jelly one day,” Brown wrote “and even less another.” Brown’s mother Lisa, of Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota, said she panicked when she first found...

(CBS News) DAMASCUS – There is an unspeakable tragedy unfolding Friday night as the year-long conflict in Syria rapidly descends toward civil war marked by the wholesale massacre of civilians. Women and children are being executed in their homes. The United States and others have condemned the barbarity, but nothing seems to slow the killing. Now we have the first evidence of an atrocity that the Syrian dictatorship didn’t want you to see. For a couple of days, we’ve been hearing of a massacre of women and children in a town called Qubeir. United Nations observers tried to get there Thursday, but the Syrian army opened fire on them. When CBS news tried to reach the town, the army turned us around too. But on Friday, CBS News and the U.N. tried again and they got through. It appears the Syrian government worked to clean up the evidence — but there’s just no cleaning up what happened in Qubeir. Even from a distance, it was clear something terrible had happened in Qubeir, but what? A local farmer named Majid was anxious to tell his story — his first chance to explain what he’d seen. “I was at the far end of the village watching,” he said. “I couldn’t come any closer because of the bombing.” Video: U.N. official describes smell of burnt flesh in SyriaVideo: Empty streets at site...
