NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
SAO PAULO. BRAZIL
SAU FAULD, BRAZIL Funeral workers are on strike in Brazil's largest city, and it's causing delays in burials.
More than 1,000 workers in Sao Paulo halted their activities on Tuesday, delaying the release of bodies for burial and frustrating relatives of the deceased. Brazilians traditionally hold funerals within a day of death.
The workers want a salary increase of nearly 40 percent and better working conditions.
They said in a statement Wednesday the strike will go on until city officials meet their demands.
LAGOS, NIGERIA
Other health workers are also participating in the strike.
Flash flooding across Nigeria's southwest killed at least 102 people in the last week, the country's Red Cross said Wednesday.
Some 1,500 people displaced by the tormental downpour, officials said.
The major flood hit hardest in Oyo state's capital of ibadan. Heavy rains there on Friday made a local dam overflow, sending water crashing through the informal settlements surrounding the city. The water also damaged three bridges in the area, trapping people in their neighborhoods, said Tunde Adebiyi, an official with Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency.
VILNIUS, LITHUANIA
Two military jets collided above Lithuania during a NATO exercise Tuesday, but one managed to land and the other crashed in an unpopulated area after its two pilots ejected. No serious injuries were reported.
The French Mirage fighter was only "lightly damaged" and landed safely at the air base, NATO said.
The collision of the Lithuanian and French aircraft occurred near the Zokniai air base in northern Lithuania, home to NATO jets patrolling the skies over the Baltic countries.
The Lithuanian pilots successfully ejected from their L-39 Albatros jet after the collision at 10.30 a.m. local time, according to NATO.
A statement from the Investigative Committee said three perpetrators of the Tuesday evening blasts in Grozny had been identified, but did not specify how many explosions there were. Some Russian news reports said there were two blasts.
MOSCOW, RUSSIA
According to the Wednesday statement, the bombers blew themselves up when police stopped them during a search operation. A further 22 people were wounded, the committee said.
Russia's top investigative body said eight people, including seven policeman, died after suicide bombings in the capital of Chechnya.
The blasts were the bloodiest recent incident of violence in Chechnya.
POSTER SALE SCORES
VANCE CARLSON/KANSAN
Amy Adams, a freshman from Fort Worth, Texas, got her poster after seeing a similar one in her friend's room. She said she liked the contrast between black and white and color in the photos.
Donovan Oldham, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., bought his Japan poster in anticipation of an upcoming trip to Tokyo with his brother, who won the vacation in a contest. Oldham said that he was interested in different cultures and traveling and that he had studied in Paris last summer.
