NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO
A Puerto Rico lawmaker has resigned following reports that explicit photos of him surfaced on an iPhone application for gays and bisexuals, the head of the U.S. territory's Senate announced Sunday.
Sen. Roberto Arango, a Republican who represents the capital of San Juan, presented his letter of resignation after a weekend meeting, Senate President Thomas Rivera Schatz said.
Local news media published photos from the application showing a man's nude upper body with a cellphone obscuring his face. Another photo showed a rear view of a nude man on his hands and knees. Another showed a fuzzy image of a face that seemed to match Arango's.
ABUJA, NIGERIA
U. N. security chief Gregory Starr acknowledged that safety features "could have been better" to stop the speeding sedan loaded with explosives. But only hours later, U.N. Deputy Secretary-General Asha-Rose Migiro told journalists that the building had "really, tight" security.
Two top U.N. officials offered conflicting views Sunday on the safety of its Nigeria headquarters after a suicide car bombing there, as the world paused to mourn the 23 people killed in the attack claimed by a radical Muslim sect.
Friday's attack was the first suicide attack targeting foreigners by Boko Haram, a group which has reported links to African terror groups al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb and al-Shabab of Somalia.
SUKHUMI. GEORGIA
The vice president of the breakaway Georgian province of Abkhazia was preliminarily declared the winner of the presidential election Saturday
Alexander Ankvab obtained 55 percent of Friday's vote. Election Commission chairman Batal Tabagua said.
The presidential election is the first in Abkhazia sandwiched geographically between the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains and caught politically between Russia and Georgia — since Moscow recognized its independence in 2008.
The vote was held three months after the death of President Sergei Bagash.
ISLAMABAD. PAKISTAN
A ruling party minister in Pakistan's violence-plagued city of Karachi resigned Sunday, charging that the city's largest political party was behind the bloodshed and its leader was a "killer", allegations that could spark more trouble.
Holding a copy of the Quran, the Muslim holy book, Zulfikar Mirza accused the powerful Muttahida Qaumi Movement of responsibility for kidnapping, extortion and violence that has killed more than 400 people since July. He also accused the party of killing journalist Wali Khan Babar earlier this year.
In a statement, the MQM said Mirza himself was a patron of murderers and his remarks were a "heinous bid to spark the fire of hatred, violence and insurgency."

Minnesota woman fishes prosthetic leg from lake ALEXANDRIA, Minn. — A woman who lost her prosthetic leg while swimming in a western Minnesota lake three years ago has been reunited with the limb thanks to an angler.
