(AP) MEXICO CITY – From cash in chili pepper cans to cocaine in cardboard boxes, Mexico City’s international airport has long been considered the capital’s main transport hub for drugs and other contraband that seem to move as smoothly as any cargo and usually with no fuss for passengers. A deadly shootout among federal police on Monday changed that, drawing attention to a darker side of the country’s premier airport generally considered safe and efficient in its handling of more than 27 million passengers and 400,000 tons of cargo a year. Tourists passing Tuesday through the modern Terminal 2, where the shooting occurred, seemed unfazed. But airport workers in the building, with giant walls of white concrete perforated with thousands of decorative holes, said the fatal shooting had shattered their sense of safety. “I couldn’t believe it because there was so much security,” said Maria Eugenia Cruz, 52, who has worked as a custodian for five months but was on her day off when the shooting occurred. “I’m afraid of another shootout.” Two federal police officers suspected of working for drug traffickers opened fire on fellow officers in a crowded food court Monday, killing three policemen as panicked witnesses dove for cover. The slain officers were on an anti-narcotics mission as they sought to catch the suspected criminals in the act of drug trafficking, said a federal police official...

(CBS) – Rosie Huntington-Whitely is on the publicity trail for her first film “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” and the Hollywood newcomer has undertaken a lot of wardrobe changes on each stop of the way. Joined with director 제천출장마사지 Michael Bay and fellow castmates, the British model and actress traveled through Russia and Europe last week, attending three red carpet premieres and two photo calls. Pictures: “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” premieres At the Moscow premiere, the 24-year-old, who replaced Megan Fox in the film, stepped out in a Gucci gown, which featured a chartreuse one-shoulder top and sheer black skirt. Earlier in the day, she sported a bright fuchsia Michael Kors draped dress with a thigh-high slit. The Berlin premiere and photo call also called for two separate showtopping outfits. A low cut, long-sleeved maroon frock paired with tan Christian Louboutin pumps were her picks for the photo call. She later went for a backless silver and sequined short-sleeve gown by Naeem Khan for the red carpet premiere. A stop in the U.K. was the last leg in Huntington-Whiteley’s European promotional tour. At the premiere in London, she donned another blackless design, this time from Burberry. She paired the sapphire evening gown with an updo and simple jewelry. Tonight, Huntington-Whiteley is expected to step out in yet another glamorous look for the New York red carpet premiere. “Transformers: Dark...

(CBS News) In Syria on Thursday, the International Red Cross tried to evacuate civilians and the wounded from the battered city of Homs, but they never got the chance. A promised cease-fire never happened. The city came under renewed shelling that residents blamed on the Syrian army. The Red Cross convoy had to turn back to Damascus. Homs is at the center of the 16-month uprising against the dictator, Bashar al-Assad. He’s out to crush it, and thousands have died. Now, some of Assad’s soldiers are joining the rebels, and on Thursday a Syrian air force pilot took himself and his plane out of the fight. The pilot defected and landed his MiG jet fighter at an airfield in Jordan. It’s only a small crack in the Assad regime’s determination to crush its opponents, but one that Pentagon spokesman George Little praised. “We very much welcome the pilot’s decision to do the right thing,” Little said. The opposition has no jets but relies instead on classic guerrilla tactics — fighters strike then melt away into the countryside. They are becoming increasingly better equipped thanks to weapons and money supplied by Arab countries hostile to Assad. Estimated to number about 40,000, the insurgents have fought the 200,000-strong Syrian military with its tanks, artillery and helicopter gunships to a standstill. The regime controls the major cities running from the capital of...
