AFP - Hundreds of Afghans threw stones, shouted "death to America" and torched tyres, pouring onto streets Wednesday for a second day of angry protests against NATO troops for burning copies of the Koran. About 500 protesters threw stones at a US military base in Kabul, while in the eastern city of Jalalabad more than 1,000 demonstrators blocked the highway shouting "Death to Americans, Death to Obama", AFP journalists said. Afghanistan is a deeply...

BEIJING (AP) — Estados Unidos y Corea del Norte reanudan esta semana las conversaciones nucleares entre las partes y que facilitarán un vistazo para conocer si la transición política con el joven hijo de Kim Jong Il transcurre sin contratiempos a dos meses de ocurrida la muerte del otrora gobernante norcoreano. Según analistas, las conversaciones del jueves podrían mostrar la disposición de Corea del Norte para regresar a un acuerdo con Washington —que consideraba un desarme nuclear a cambio de asistencia— y estaba en preparación antes de la muerte de Kim. El silencio por parte de Corea del norte podría ser indicio de desacuerdos en el gobierno, aunque algunos analistas consideran que el...

MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — Inmates set fire to mattresses and trash Tuesday after officials announced that three prisoners would be moved from the prison where 44 gangs members were massacred this week to a maximum security jail in western Mexico. Thick gray smoke rose from inside the Apodaca prison shortly after several federal police officers went in. Outside, about 50 women related to inmates clashed with police and set fire to a pile of cardboard and wood at a gate. Crying women threw stones at officers when they poured water on the fire from behind the mesh gate, while others tried to climb the fence. The women told a local television station they were desperate for information about...

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Hugo Chavez announced Tuesday that doctors in Cuba found a new lesion in the same place where a cancerous tumor was removed last year and said he will shortly return to the island to have it surgically removed. He told Venezuelans he did not know if the lesion is malignant but that the probability is high, adding that they should not expect to see him in coming weeks as he will likely need localized radiation therapy. "I'm not going to be able to continue with the same rhythm," Chavez told state TV via telephone Tuesday night, adding that he would need to "rethink my personal agenda and take care of myself, confront what must be confronted." The...

NUEVA DELHI (AP) — Desde antes de la era de los dinosaurios un anfibio ha vivido bajo la tierra empapada por el monzón en el remoto noreste de la India, desconocido por la ciencia y confundido por los lugareños con una víbora diminuta y mortífera. Sin embargo, este animal sin patas ha salido a la luz gracias a un equipo de biólogos encabezado por el profesor Sathyabhama Das Biju, de la Universidad de Delhi. Tras cinco años de excavaciones en la jungla bajo la lluvia, el equipo identificó una familia desconocida de anfibios —las chikilidae— que son endémicos de la región pero tienen lazos antiguos con Africa. El descubrimiento, publicado el miércoles en una revista de la Royal Society de...

CARACAS (AP) — El sorpresivo anuncio de que el presidente Hugo Chávez deberá someterse a una nueva cirugía despertó incertidumbre en un país que va camino a una campaña presidencial luego que la oposición eligiera al gobernador del estado central de Miranda, Henrique Capriles, como el rival que enfrentará al mandatario el 7 de octubre. Aunque opositores y analistas afirmaron que es apresurado predecir qué sucederá en el futuro político inmediato, coincidieron en señalar que todo dependerá de las próximas decisiones que tome Chávez: ¿se separará temporalmente del gobierno? ¿Delegará el cargo en el Vicepresidente? ¿Es posible que se retire de la contienda electoral y nombre a uno de sus...

MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — Three inmates were killed Tuesday in a northern Mexico prison a few miles (kilometers) from the penitentiary where authorities say 44 gang members were massacred this week by prisoners from a rival drug cartel. Nuevo Leon state public security spokesman Jorge Domene Zambrano said the latest victims, two men and a woman, had been booked into the Topo Chico prison Monday on suspicion of kidnapping. Domene said the men were stabbed to death in the prison's observation area and the woman in the infirmary. At the time the three suspects were presented to the media in early February, Domene described them as members of the Gulf drug cartel, like the 44 prisoners slain...

TEGUCIGALPA (AP) — El gobierno hondureño creó el martes una comisión de seis ministros para prevenir nuevos incidentes en las 24 cárceles de Honduras, similar al registrado la semana pasada en la región central que dejó un saldo de 360 reos muertos. Previamente, el presidente Porfirio Lobo amplío por ocho meses más un estado de emergencia que mantenía desde julio de 2010 con el propósito de resolver el hacinamiento, sobrepoblación y corrupción que enfrenta el sistema penitenciario nacional. En un comunicado, Lobo informó que con el plan se mejorará la estructura física y sanitaria de las prisiones. El grupo está integrado por los ministros de Derechos Humanos, Ana Pineda; Seguridad, Pompeyo...

KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — Jamaica is developing a new policy to battle crime as gang violence drives the homicide rate higher, the country's top security official said Tuesday. National Security Minister Peter Bunting said 165 killings have been reported by police so far in 2012, compared to 135 slayings during the corresponding period last year on the Caribbean island of 2.8 million people. Violent gangs are deeply entrenched in Spanish Town, just west of Kingston, and in some residential sections of the northwestern parish of St. James, which includes the resort city of Montego Bay. Fighting between the gangs for control of drug trafficking and extortion rackets has long been blamed for the...
