NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
MEXICO CITY
The Mexican navy has arrested a man alleged to be Zetas drug cartel's local chief for the Gulf coast port of Veracruz, saying he is tied to the dumping of eight bodies in a rural town a week ago.
The navy says five other men were also captured, including a suspect in the jail break of 32 inmates a day before gunmen dumped 35 bodies on a busy avenue of Veracruz last month. A picture released by the navy shows four of the six dressed in military clothing.
A navy statement identifies the purported Zetas local leader as Carlos "The Bam Bam" Pitalua. It says he is suspected in the Oct. 20 killings of eight people in Paso de Oveias.
LONDON
The navy captured the men on Tuesday.
Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge plan to travel to Denmark next week to visit a United Nations center that distributes emergency supplies to East Africa.
St. James's Palace officials said Wednesday the brief trip is designed to draw attention to the worsening East Africa food shortage crisis, which is affecting an estimated 13 million people.
The Nov. 2 visit will mark the royal couple's first overseas trip since a lengthy sojourn to Canada and the United States during the summer. The British and Danish palaces said Wednesday that the couple will be accompanied by Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark.
SANAA.YEMEN
Hundreds of Yemeni women on Wednesday set fire to traditional female veils to protest the government's brutal crackdown against the country's popular uprising, as overnight clashes in the capital and another city killed 25 people, officials said.
In the capital Sanaa, the women spread a black cloth across a main street and threw their full-body veils, known as makrama, onto a pile, sprayed it with oil and set it ablaze. As the flames rose, they chanted: "Who protects Yemeni women from the crimes of the thugs?"
The women in Yemen have taken a key role in the uprising against President Ali Abdullah Saleh's authoritarian rule.
Afghan forces could soon start taking charge of security in a wide swath of northern and western Afghanistan, but only a few spots in the more violent south and east — the second step in a transition that President Hamid Karzai hopes will leave his forces in control of the entire nation by the end of 2014.
KABUL
A successful handover is key to NATO's plan to withdraw most of its combat forces from Afghanistan after more than a decade of fighting there. Western officials and experts have expressed pessimism about the ability of Karzai and his armed forces to assume command of their country. If they fail, the militant Taliban could stage a comeback.

Dog reunited with owners after traveling 500 miles
Jim Arrighi last saw Petey, his 4-year-old Jack Russell terrier, in the backyard of his Erin. Trn., home.
That was in July, and the 73-year-old retired electrician had nearly given up on seeing his pet again when he learned the dog turned up safe about 500 miles away in suburban Detroit.
A Michigan Humane Society volunteer was expected to return Petey to Arright Thursday morning.
"This is just a little town and everybody is buzzing about it," said Arriighi's daughter, Iyane Morrison.
Most of Erin's roughly 7,000 residents know one another, and many of them would recognize Petey, which is why Arrighi, Morrison and their friends suspect he was
Morrison believes Petey left his yard "and somebody picked him up."
Last week, a homeowner, in Rochester Hills, about 20 miles north of Detroit, saw Petey in his backyard and took him to a Humane Society animal care center.

Arrighi, who has been staying at Morrison's home since his wife died, was thrilled to receive the call, she said.
