MEXICO CITY
Mexican authorities said they have tracked down nine escaped prisoners at a drug cartel training camp.
The navy said in a statement that the inmates were sprung from prisons in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz last month so they could work for the Zetas drug cartel.
Tuesday's statement also said a series of raids last week resulted in the arrest of 18 local police officers who allegedly worked for the Zetas.
During the arrests, the officers discovered written information indicating the officers received payments of from 2,000 to 10,000 pesos ($144 to $718) per month from the cartel.
MANCHESTER, ENGLAND
The police were employed in several Veracruz towns and cities. The state is the site of violent turf battles between the Zetas and other drug trafficking groups.
It shunned the euro to keep its cherished pound.
Could Europe's deepening debt crisis see Britain turn its back entirely on its struggling neighbors?
Delegates at an annual rally of the governing Conservative Party this week are looking to the continent's economic woes as an opportunity to revive old debates about Britain's relationship with Europe.
Costly bailouts and meddling judges are cited as new evidence to support the long cherished goal of Britain's skeptics: Leaving the European Union.
"The tide is moving invocably towards a referendum, regardless of whether or not the prime minister wants one." Conservative Party lawmaker Douglas Carswell told a meeting on the sidelines of the annual rally.
In a debate in Britain's Parliament expected to take place next month, legislators will demand a national vote on whether to join nations like Norway and Switzerland outside the bloc.
THE WEST BANK
A small crowd of Palestinian protesters accosted an American diplomatic delegation visiting the West Bank Tuesday, blocking a convoy of vehicles, chanting "shame on you" and hurling a shoe — a deeply insulting gesture in Arab culture.
The Americans, including employees of the consulate in Jerusalem, were on their way to a U.S. reception in town of Ramallah meant to reaffirm cultural and educational ties with the Palestinians.
But relations have grown strained recently, with Palestinians disappointed over President Barack Obama's handling of Mideast peace efforts. They say he is not tough enough on Israel and are also upset over U.S. vows to block their attempt to receive full membership at the United Nations.
Members of Congress have already put a hold on $200 million in economic assistance to the Palestinians to dissuade them from pushing forward with the U.N. request.
MOSCOW
Scientists from seven countries will gather to discuss the possible existence of the fabled Yeti and the creature's biology and habits. Russian officials in the central Siberian town Tashtagol told the german news agency dpa.
Cryptozoological researchers from Russia, the United States and China will attend the meetings scheduled from Thursday to Saturday in Kemerovo province some 2,000 miles east of Moscow.
The experts will present "surprising insights, and unique photographs and audio recordings" about the creature, a Kemerovo spokesman said.
Local game wardens have cited evidence allegedly obtained by a motion-triggered camera in a cave some 50 miles away from Tashtagol as possible proof of the existence of an unknown hominid.
HAZARDS
Last year, the Kemerovo regional administration issued a "Yeti warning" and called on local residents to be on the lookout for a hairy bipedal creature which might come out looking for food.
Preparing for a possible invasion from zombies
Kansas emergency management officials are urging residents to prepare for an invasion of zombies as part of a national disaster readiness campaign.
October is Zombie Preparedness Month, a tongue-in-cheek campaign to get people nationwide to prepare for any type of disaster — including attacks by killer zombies.
The point is to get people to take an all-hazards approach to preparing themselves for things like tornadoes,
floods and terrorist attacks.
The Kansas Division of Emergency Management said if people are prepared for zombie attacks, they're ready for anything.
Several Topeka events are scheduled as part of the awareness effort, including an information booth Saturday, Trunk or Treat on Oct. 27, and a Spooktacular Safety Fair and Zombie Preparedness Day on Oct. 29 in downtown Topeka.
