HERMOSILLO, Mexico
An activist who publicly accused police officers of kidnapping his teenage son was shot to death in an attack that instantly fueled Mexico's bitter nationwidedebate over crime and corruption.
Corrupt officials were being blamed Tuesday by citizen activists who worked with Nepomuceno Moreno in a national anti-crime movement that has been calling for an end to organized crime, police abuse and a military-led government assault on drug cartels.
The prosecutor's office in the northern border state of Sonora told reporters that Moreno had a criminal past and it was that, not activism, which appeared to have led to his death. Officials said Moreno was shot at least five times when he stopped his van at an intersection Monday afternoon in Hermosillo, the capital city of Sonora.
The exchange of blame for Moreno's death echoed a wider national dispute.
Moreno, a 56-year-old sidewalk seafood vendor, became one of the most visible faces of Mexico's anti-crime movement after his 18-year-old son Jorge Mario disappeared in July last year.
HARARE. Zimbabwe
A militant youth group loyal to Zimbabwe's president is calling for a boycott of a restaurant chain whose latest advertise ment depicts the aging, authoritarian president as "the last dictator standing," state radio reported Tuesday.
To the soundtrack of Mary Hopkin's hit song "Those were the days, my friend," the commercial shows an actor playing Mugabe reminiscing about his times with former dictators. It portrays him and Gadhafi engaging in a water-pistol fight, with Gadhafi wielding a golden AK-47 water pistol.
The radio quoted the head of the group calling for South Africa-based Nando's to withdraw the ad that depicts President Robert Mugabe or face punitive action. Jimu Kunaka, the head of group known as Chipangano, said the restaurant chain risked action including a boycott. Chipangano is a "brotherhood" of Mugabe loyalists.
The commercial that touts chicken shows Mugabe dining alone at Christmas, his empty table set for departed dictators including Moammar Gadhafi.
Eurozone ministers threw a lifeline to Greece on Tuesday as they scrambled to prevent financial chaos from spreading further and driving Europe's common euro currency into a catastrophic breakup.
The monthly meeting of 17 nations was dominated by attempts to keep Greece afloat and find enough money to coat a veneer of credibility over Europe's rescue fund. It came on the third straight day that Italy has taken a beating in the bond markets, with investors growing increasingly wary of the country's chances of avoiding default.
BRUSSELS, Belgium
Markets rose for the second day Tuesday on hopes that the enormous pressures on the ministers would produce some results.
The finance ministers approved the next installment of the Greece's bailout loan — $1 billion euro ($10.7 billion). Without that money, Greece would have run out of cash before Christmas, unable to pay employees or provide services. Two officials in Brussels reported the development, speaking on condition of anonymity while the meeting was still going on.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan
Pakistan withdrew from an international conference on stabilizing Afghanistan to protest the deadly attack by American forces on its troops, widening a fresh rupture in ties with an ally that is endangering the U.S. plan for gradually ending the war.
In an unusually hostile comment, a top Pakistani army general said Tuesday the deaths of 24 Pakistani soldiers were the result of a "deliberate act of aggression." He said the military hasn't decided whether to take part in an American investigation into the weekend encounter along the mountainous Afghan border.
The hard line was aimed partly at pacifying the country's anti-American public, most of whom detest their leaders' close association with Washington. The uncompromising stance of the army was also likely designed to press for more concessions from Washington.
Regardless of motive, Pakistan's retaliatory moves and tough rhetoric lower the chances of greater cooperation in the Afghan war and will make it harder to repair ties with the U.S. once emotions cool.
CRIMINAL
Teen accused of murder briefly appears in court
A teen accused of murder made his first public court appearance Tuesday on charges he was part of a deadly robbery team that lured victims with a phony job ad, appearing dazed as a judge postponed a hearing on whether he should be tried as an adult.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
The 16-year-old boy appeared briefly in a courtroom in Noble County. A juvenile judge put off the hearing because the boy's father, who wasn't present, hadn't received proper notice of charges filed last week. The next hearing will probably happen in a couple of weeks, the judge said.
The Akron teenager faces juvenile charges of aggravated murder, complicity to aggravated murder, attempted murder and complicity to attempted murder in the death of one man and the shooting of another. He is a junior at Stow Munroe City Schools, about 40 miles southeast of Cleveland, and is being held at a juvenile detention center in Muskinguum County.
The boy wore sneakers, dark slacks, a shirt and a rain jacket as he was led into court with his hands cuffed in front of him, appearing slightly stunned. He didn't speak during the hearing or afterward as police hustled him into a police car
His mother sat on a bench directly behind him during the short hearing, rocking back and forth and appearing on the verge of tears. She left the courthouse hurriedly and gave only a few fleeting comments as she walked briskly to a black pickup across the street.
"We're praying for the families and the victims," she said to reporters. After she got into the passenger seat, she rolled the window down and said, "God bless you all. Do the right thing. Get the truth."
Authorities say the teenager was involved in a scheme in which applicants answering a Craigslist ad for a phony job at a nonexistent cattle ranch in Noble County, 90 miles south of Akron in rural southeastern Ohio, were robbed, then killed. Authorities say they have connected two bodies to the scheme and identified one other man who was shot but escaped.
The teen was questioned by the FBI and arrested in mid-November several days after Scott Davis, of South Carolina, said was shot in the arm and escaped after he answered the ad.
