Drug courier nabbed with 33 pounds of cocaine

BERLIN –  A suspected drug courier has been caught at Duesseldorf airport with 15 kilograms (33 pounds) of cocaine in his luggage and German authorities have arrested nine more people in subsequent raids.

Police and prosecutors said the 35-year-old man, from Witten outside Duesseldorf, was arrested Sunday after flying in from the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo via Madrid. The cocaine was found in his suitcase.

The arrest followed an investigation into suspected drug smuggling that was launched in November. Later Sunday, police in Witten and in Bochum raided nine apartments, arresting eight men and a woman.

Authorities accuse the group of importing around 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of cocaine in total to Germany, valued at 3.5 million euros ($3.9 million), as well as a smaller quantity of marijuana.

Air fresheners and scented candles 'are to blame for pollution in the home that KILLS 40,000 a year'

Lives are being put at risk from air pollution inside homes caused by everything from boiler fumes to air fresheners and scented candles, it has been claimed.

The warning comes from a joint study by the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health to be published this week.

The danger of pollution in the street from car fumes is well understood, but many people are ignorant of the risks from air inside the home.

Potential dangers: Research in York found raised levels of a Volatile Organic Compound called limonene, which is used heavily in air fresheners (left) and scented candles (right), to give a lemon citrus smell

The drive to cut energy bills by insulating properties - keeping out drafts and installing windows that do not open - is playing a part in trapping a potentially toxic cloud of air.

The report, Every Breath We Take, warns that at least 40,000 deaths a year in the UK can be linked to the effect of air pollution outside and inside the home.

According to the report ‘indoor air pollution may have caused or contributed to 99,000 deaths annually in Europe’.

Hacker's guide to safety online: 'Entire banking system is fundamentally flawed - you're giving access to your cash'

Mustafa Al-Bassam was a 16-year-old schoolboy when he was arrested for his role in cybercrimes committed by LulzSec, a gang of hackers. 

In 2011, it targeted the websites of the CIA in the US, the Serious Organised Crime Agency in the UK, Fox and Sony.

The group’s actions caused serious financial damage. But it also shone a light in some dark corners of world politics and exposed the virtual weaknesses of big organisations. 

Last autumn, a play at the Royal Court Theatre in London called Teh Internet Is Serious Business told their story.

Mustafa – from South London and previously known online as tFlow – was handed a 20-month suspended sentence at the age of 18, shortly before taking his A-levels, and ordered to carry out 300 hours of unpaid community work. 

He is now 20 and studying computer science at King’s College London.

After he gave a hacking demonstration at a recent conference on financial crime, The Mail on Sunday tracked him down so he could give his inside – and sometimes alarming – view of online security and provide advice on how we can protect our identity and finances.

Q. How did you gain your skills on the internet at such a young age?

A. I spent a lot of time on my computer as a child and taught myself how to program when I was about nine, using freely available online resources.

This might seem extraordinary, but it is a common story. Many people learn to program as a child, and it is going to become more common now that the UK is pushing for programming to be taught in secondary and primary schools.

Q. In your past life working on the other side of the law, did you consider yourself a ‘black hat’ hacker, someone whose prime intent was to breach internet security? And would you describe yourself now as a white hat wearer?

A. I think the white hat versus black hat label is an unhelpful oversimplification of an activity that covers the entire range of human motivation. The ethics of hacking are not black or white, but more 256 shades of grey, just like any other activity in life.

Michigan police say 6 dead in random shooting spree, suspect arrested

The accused gunman who police say killed six people and wounded two others during a rampage in Michigan on Saturday night is a married father of two who was working as an Uber driver, USA Today reported.

Jason Dalton, 45, passed a background check when he was hired by Uber, the company told the paper. Dalton had no criminal record and only five traffic violations, police said.

A Michigan prosecutor said authorities were investigating a Facebook post that indicated Dalton picked up Uber customers around the time of the shootings. Kalamazoo County Prosecutor Jeff Getting says he was aware of the post, but was not prepared to discuss it.

Dalton lived just outside Kalamazoo, where the shootings occurred, in a ranch-style house with his wife of at least 15 years and two children, ages 10 and 15, according to USA Today.

18 year old boy facing death penalty for killing his mum's abusive boyfriend

18 year old Treveon Jones has been charged with murder and is facing death penalty if found guilty. According to police report, Treveon attacked and killed his mum's abusive live-in-lover in Houston, Texas after he caught the man, 40 year old Frederick Wallace, brutally attacking his mom in front of her small children - Treveon's two brothers.



Treveon was said to have been alerted about the beating going on in a parking lot and he took a friend and a gun with him. When he saw the condition his mother was in, he first physically attacked the man then shot him multiple times with a semi-automatic rifle...

Eye-witnesses called police and Treveon was arrested. Authorities say the woman had suffered domestic abuse from Wallace for years but Treveon shouldn't have taken the law into his hands.
