Associated Press NEWS AROUND THE WORLD CULIACAN, MEXICO Authorities say gunmen have killed five members of a family in a mountainous area of western Mexico. Sinaloa state prosecutors said three women, a teenage girl and a 7-year-old boy were killed when gunmen ambushed them as they were riding in a pickup truck on a dirt road in the town of El Rosario. Prosecutors said in a statement Thursday that police found 64 spent bullet casings at the scene. They said they had not captured any suspects or discovered a motive for the attack, which took place Wednesday. The western state of Sinaloa is the cradle for most of Mexico's drug lords and its mountains are known to be used for growing marijuana. TORONTO A Canadian indicted in the U.S. on charges he supplied al-Qaida with weapons in Pakistan will not be extradited to the United States after Canada's Supreme Court said it wouldn't hear the case. Abdullah Khadr had been held in Canada on a U.S. warrant after his December 2005 arrest before he was released in 2010. He was released after two provincial courts in Ontario suspended his extradition, ruling his rights were violated during his detention in Pakistan. Dennis Edney, his lawyer, said the top court's decision not to hear the Canadian government's appeal means the case is over. The Supreme Court did not give reasons why it didn't hear the case. NAIROBI, KENYA Kenya's military spokesman is using Twitter to warn people not to help al-Qaida-linked militants by selling them an old-world transportation tool: donkeys. Spokesman Maj, Emmanuel Chirchir is tweeting updates on Kenya's military push into Somalia to fight the al-Shabaab militants. "Kenyans dealing in donkey trade along the Kenya-Somali border are advised not to sell their animals to Al Shabaab, "Chirchir tweeted, adding: "Selling Donkeys to Al Shabaab will undermine our efforts in Somalia." "Thus, any large concentration and movement of loaded donkeys will be considered as Al Shabaab activity," Chirchir said. DUBLIN Ireland announced Thursday it is closing its embassies to the Vatican and two other nations, but denied that its deteriorating relations with the Catholic Church played a role in its choice of cuts. Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore said Ireland was under grave financial pressure as it tries to slash spending in line with its international bailout last year. He said a review determined that Ireland's diplomatic posts to the Vatican, Iran and Timor Leste offered the least returns in foreign investment. HEALTH "The government believes that Ireland's interests with the Holy See can be sufficiently represented by a non-resident ambassador," Gilmore said. Free screenings offered to combat flu season The University of Kansas School of Pharmacy is making it easier for students and staff to remain healthy this flu season by offering free health screenings Friday. Pharmacy students will screen patients for conditions such as osteoporosis, diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. HeJoe Heidrick, assistant professor in the school, said the screenings are beneficial for everyone. "I think this is just a good opportunity for our students to reach other students and show the things that pharmacy students can do, not only while they're in school, but also in the community," he said. The screenings will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union. —Steven Small LEGAL Defense attorney contests scrutiny in abortion case ASSOCIATED PRESS A defense attorney Thursday questioned the scrutiny a Kansas doctor is receiving from the state over referring young patients for late-term abortions to preserve their mental health, noting that a disciplinary case against her stems from an anti-abortion leader's complaint. A hearing is scheduled to conclude Friday in the case of Dr. Ann Kristin Neuhaus, who provided second opinions that the late Dr. George Tiller's clinic in Wichita needed under Kansas law to perform late-term abortions. The hearing's presiding officer is expected to decide by early next year to recommend whether the State Board of Healing Arts, which licenses and regulates physicians, should impose sanctions. A complaint before the board accuses Neuhaus of negligence in conducting mental health exams for 11 patients, ages 10 to 18, who terminated pregnancies from July to November 2003. Neuhaus diagnosed the patients with acute anxiety, acute stress or single episodes of major depression, concluding their conditions met requirements in Kansas law for late-term abortions. The board's top litigation attorney filed the complaint in April 2010, but it stems from a complaint lodged with the board in 2006 by Cheryl Sullenger, senior policy adviser for the Wichita-based anti-abortion group Operation Rescue. Sullenger receives notices from the board Robert Eye, lead attorney for Neuhaus, said he believes evidence is "solid" in showing that the doctor met standards of care in conducting the exams. Eye said he respects the board's mandate to protect the public from substandard care and its need to investigate complaints of potential misconduct, but he also suggested Sullenger's complaint was driven by her views on abortion. about the case. "The fact that this complaint was to the board by an antichoice group and not by any patient Dr. Neuhaus has ever evaluated is pretty significant," Eye said during an interview. ""Dr. Neuhaus evaluated hundreds of patients for Dr. Tiller, none of whom complained. For many of these patients, their parents or guardians were in the room." But Stullenger said abortion patients are reluctant to complain to the board because they don't want other people to know they've terminated their pregnancies and don't want to relive the experience. Also, she said, patients tend to trust their doctors and don't study the law before seeking a medical procedure. "If a doctor says this is OK, they're going to trust their doctor," she said. "It's not a surprise to me that a woman who's had an abortion is not a complainant in the case. That's why we're here." 1 The board's general counsel, Kelli Stevens, declined to comment about the case. CAMPUS Bolivian co-op sells Alpaca wool winter wear to students JULIANNA TIDWELL jtidwell@kansan.com Bolivian fair trade group Chasqui is on campus this week selling wool hats, scarves and sweaters to keep students warm this winter. Sigma Lambda Gamma sorority sponsored Chasqui, whose name means "Messenger of the Sun God" in Bolivian native dialects. It's a fitting name for the fair-trade Bolivian co-op that the 100 percent Alpaca wool products to campus each year. About 300 Bolivian families from four different regions of Bolivia make the items, and the four main colors and patterns on the products are representative of those regions. "Buying anything from the stand, you know that it's going to go back and help the people who made it," she said. "If I go to Walmart, yeah, their prices are pretty good, some cheaper, but I don't know where the money goes. I feel good doing what I can." 1 Sigma Lambda Gamma president Rocio Ramirez said while the prices and products are great, she enjoys the fair-trade aspect of the sale. Sigma Lambda Gamma has been working with the co-op for more than 10 years, and the majority of proceeds from sales go to Bolivia, where they help fund schools and provide water throughout the nation. The co-op has already helped fund more than 600,000 students in 22 schools. Prices of the winter clothes range from $13 for scarves and hats to $44 for sweaters. Ramirez said the cooler weather is boosting sales this week. "We're seeing more buyers than at the beginning of the week when it was in the 70s," she said. Chasqui will be on campus until 4 p.m. Friday, when it will leave to go to other schools across the nation in hopes of making more money to send back to Bolivia.
