NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
MEXICO CITY
Police in Mexico City found two severed human heads on a street near a major military base Monday, a grisly tactic of warring drug gangs that has long affected other parts of the country while largely sparing the capital.
Decapitations are frequently carried out by gangs in drug-violence-plagued cities such as the Pacific coast resort of Acapulco and in northern Mexico, often to intimidate or threaten rivals.
But it was the first multiple decapitation in the capital since January 2008, when two heads were found near the city's international airport. Two heads were also found in the same vicinity in December 2007. Those killings were believed to be related to a drug shipment that had been seized at the airport.
LAGOS, NIGERIA
The office of the Mexico City Attorney General said that one of the heads found Monday had been placed on the hood of a sport utility vehicle.
A piracy watchdog group says armed pirates have raided a chemical tanker off the coast of Benin in West Africa.
The International Maritime Bureau issued a statement Monday saying pirates attacked the tanker Sunday off the coast of Benin's capital, Cotonou.
The bureau says that pirates boarded the tanker with automatic weapons, prompting the crew to hunker down in an on-board safe room until Monday morning. It says the pirates escaped with cash from the tanker, but no one was hurt or held hostage.
Violent pirate attacks in West Africa's Gulf of Guinea have risen in recent months, leading an umbrella group of London insurers to list Nigeria, neighboring Benin and nearby waters in the same risk category as Somalia.
WARSAW. POLAND
Roman Catholics in Poland gathered Sunday for a special Mass celebrating what they see as a miracle: the appearance on a communion wafer of a dark spot that they are convinced is part of the heart of Jesus.
The communion wafer in question developed a brown spot in 2008 after falling on the floor during a Mass in the eastern Polish town of Sokolka. Two medical doctors determined that the spot was heart muscle tissue, church officials have said.
Bialystok Archbishop Edward Ozorowski said during the Mass that in history, the "substance of Christ's body or blood has become available to the human senses, and this also happened in Sokolka."
"For God, nothing is impossible," Ozorowski said.
HANOI, VIETNAM
It was already too late when Nguyen Van Cuong heard a neighbor shout "Thief! Thief!" Two men on a motorbike had snatched up his beloved pet dog "Black" and were whizzing away.
Coung and the neighbor sprinted in vain as the professional dog thieves hurled bricks, one of them slamming into the head of a bystander and killing him.
Similar fights have erupted across Vietnam between dognappers who sell man's best friend to restaurants and fed-up villagers who have increasingly turned to vigilante justice to pursue culprits because there is little police can do. Mobs have chased down thieves and clubbed them to death — even setting one on fire. But the bandits use everything from bricks to arrows to fend off the villagers and ensure their payday.
