NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
MEXICO CITY
One of the last major leaders of the pseudoreligious La Familia drug gang has been captured, Mexican officials said Wednesday, an arrest that has provided insights into the final days of one of the country's most bizarre criminal cartels.
Martin Rosales Magana had been on the run since a breakaway gang threatened to kill relatives of those who still sympathized with La Familia, said federal police anti-drug chief Ramon Pequeno. He allegedly took refuge in a state bordering La Familia's stronghold of Michoacan and plotted an alliance with his group's old enemies, the Zetas.
At one point, Rosales Magana plotted to lead 200 Zetas and La Familia gunmen in an assault on Apatizingan, a city in western Mexico now dominated by the equally cult-like Knights Templar cartel that broke away from his group, Pequeno said.
TIRANA, ALBANIA
An EU prosecutor will travel to Albania to investigate allegations that a criminal network sold organs of civilian captives there during the 1998-99 Kosovo war, an official said Wednesday.
Xavier de Marnhac, head of the European Union mission in Kosovo, announced the plan at a news conference in Albania, saying the prosecutor will arrive in the coming weeks. He didn't identify the official, but it is expected to be American John Clint Williamson, the lead prosecutor in the task force set up to conduct the investigation.
In a report last year, Council of Europe investigator Dick Marty alleged that Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci and other rebel commanders of the Kosovo Liberation Army ran detention centers on Albania's border with Kosovo, where civilian captives, including Serbs, were killed and their organs sold on the black market.
MOGADISHU, SOMALIA
Al-Qaida-linked militants threatened more terror attacks that will "increase day by day" after a suicide bomber killed 72 people. Mourners transport coffins atop cars Wednesday to funerals for those who perished in al-Shabab's deadliest bomb attack in Somalia.
A truck loaded with drums of fuel exploded Tuesday at the gate of a building housing several government ministries in a busy street in the capital where tens of thousands of famine victims have fled. The attack came more than a month after most al-Shabab fighters melted away from Mogadishu amid a pro-government offensive.
"At this time, when the country is in the midst of a worsening humanitarian crisis, the terrorists could not have attacked the Somali people at a worse time," information Minister Abdulkadir Hussein Mohamed said.
ISLAMABAD
An independent Pakistani commission investigating the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden questioned three detained widows and two daughters of the slain al-Qaida leader, a government statement said Wednesday.
The commission also interviewed Pakistani spy chief Lt. Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha and a doctor accused of helping American intelligence run a phony vaccination program that tried to obtain a DNA sample from bin Laden and his family, the statement said.
Investigators interviewed Pasha, who heads the country's powerful spy agency, known as the Inter-Services Intelligence, on Wednesday, and planned to meet with him again meet with him on Thursday, the commission said, without elaborating.
The women and Dr. Shakil Afridi were questioned on Tuesday.

Knox returns home begins to plan future
SEATTLE — The emotional strain built steadily for years as Amanda Knox sat locked away thousands of miles from her loved ones, all the while maintaining her innocence, wondering whether
anyone who mattered would ever believe her.
Knox's father, Curt, suggested that at least some of that pressure was released when she

dom. "She pretty much squished the air out of us when she hugged us," he said.
As Amanda Knox returned to her hometown of Seattle on Tuesday after being acquitted on murder charges after four years in prison, he shifted his concern to her future.
"The focus simply is Amanda's well-being and getting her re-associated with just being a regular person again," he said in front of his home in West Seattle.
He said Amanda would like to return to the University of Washington at some point to finish her degree, but for now, he's apprehensive about what four years in prison may have done to his daughter, though there are no immediate plans for her to get counseling. "What's the trauma ... and when will it show up, if it even shows up?" he said. "She's a very strong girl, but it's been a tough time for her."
The 24-year-old's life turned around dramatically Monday when an Italian appeals court threw out her conviction in the sexual assault and fatal stabbing of her British roommate.
