Authorities question person in connection with ricin probe

Suspicious letter addressed to Obama

(CNN) -- Authorities are interviewing a person in Texas in connection with threatening letters sent to President Barack Obama and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg that are being tested for ricin, a person with knowledge of the investigation told CNN on Thursday.

Officials on Wednesday intercepted a letter addressed to the president that was similar to letters sent to Bloomberg and a gun-control group he founded.

The off-site facility that screens mail addressed to the White House turned the letter over to the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force for testing and investigation, U.S. Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary said Thursday.

The letter was addressed to Obama, the Secret Service said.

The letters sent to Bloomberg and his group are suspected of containing a deadly toxin. Preliminary tests indicate ricin was found in the letters, New York Deputy Police Commissioner Paul Browne said Wednesday.

CNN Explains: Ricin

"You will have to kill me and my family before you get my guns," the letters said, a law enforcement official told CNN. "Anyone wants to come to my house will be shot in the face. The right to bear arms is my constitutional God-given right and I will exercise that right 'til the day I die. What's in this letter is nothing compared to what I've got planned for you," the note inside each envelope said, according to the official.

A memo the mayor's office sent to employees Thursday said the envelope sent to Bloomberg "contained a small amount of ricin," which "did not appear to be in a form that could be inhaled or otherwise readily ingested. Touching the envelope or letter should not be a risk."

If inhaled, injected or ingested, less than a pinpoint of ricin can kill a person in 36 to 48 hours by causing failure of the respiratory and circulatory systems. There is no known antidote for the toxin, which is derived from castor beans.

What is ricin?

Officials have not said whether any such substance was found in the letter sent to the White House.

The law enforcement official did not know the status of testing on anything found in the letter and did not disclose whether there was a message. But the source said the letter appears similar to the notes sent to Bloomberg and Mayors Against Illegal Guns.

The letter sent to Obama was postmarked in Shreveport, Louisiana, the official said -- just like the letters to Bloomberg and his group, the law enforcement source said.

The person who wrote the letters to Bloomberg and his group threatened anyone who tried to seize the writer's guns would be "shot in the face," a source with knowledge of the letters said Thursday.

New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said: "We are assuming that the letters are ... from the same machine or the same computer."

He said there was no signature on the letter sent to New York.

That letter was opened at the city government's mail facility, in a biochemical containment box. The employee who handled the letter has no symptoms of illness, and there's no reason to believe any employees are at risk from being in the building where it was delivered, the mayor's office memo said Thursday.

Bloomberg met with employees at the facility Thursday and "thanked them for their dedication," his office said.

The letter to the mayor's organization was opened by Mark Glaze, director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, in Washington on Sunday.

Glaze is doing fine, a spokeswoman for the group said Thursday.

Opinion: Ricin, almost never deadly

Suspected ricin has been included in letters in the past few months sent to Obama and other officials. In April, letters were sent to Obama; Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Mississippi; and Sadie Holland, a judge in Lee County, Mississippi. James Everett Dutschke of Tupelo, Mississippi, has been charged with possession and use of a biological agent in connection with that case.

There haven't been any more ricin-type suspicious letters to lawmakers since the mailing to Wicker, Capitol Police in Washington said. In addition, a reminder was recently sent to lawmakers urging them to be careful at home and in their state offices.

The new letter to Obama is not believed to be related to the Mississippi case, the law enforcement official said.

REMARK BY EXCELLENCY JAKAYA KIKWETE

Excellencies, Heads of States and Government;

Your Excellency Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary General;

Your Excellency Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, Chairperson of the African Union Commission;  

Executive Secretaries of SADC and ICGLR;

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I thank you Mr. Secretary General and Madam Chairperson for convening this first meeting of the Regional Oversight Mechanism of the Peace, Security and Cooperation Framework for the DRC and Region we signed on February 24th, 2013.  Tanzania welcomes your joint efforts which will go a long way towards ensuring that the objectives of the Framework are implemented to the letter and spirit.

I commend you Secretary General, Ban Ki-moonfor appointing Mrs. Mary Robinson to be your Special Envoy for the Great Lakes Region.  This is a clear testimony of the seriousness that you and the UN attach to attainment of peace and stability in theDRC and the Great Lakes Region.   I have no doubt in my mind that she will add value to the efforts being deployed to find durable peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.  I pray that she will use her long experience and renowned diplomatic skills to enable the people of the DRC and the Great Lakes Region realise their long standing dream of a peaceful and stable country and the region.  I assure Madam Robinson my personal commitment as well as my Government’s readiness to work with her in fulfilling her mandate.    

Excellencies;

We all know that the Framework we signed in February this year (2013) provides another importantmilestone in the search for durable peace in the DRC and her neighbours and the region at large.  The launching of the Regional Oversight Mechanism, the establishment of the Technical Support Committee and the creation by the UNSC of the Force Intervention Brigade under MONUSCO are important milestones in these endeavours.  I amconfident, all these measures will go a long way towards bringing about lasting peace in Eastern DRC.  But, the success of these efforts will depend on the genuine commitment and readiness of the parties to see peace reign if they have at heart the belief and desire for peaceful solutions to this long standing conflict which has infected great misery and suffering to millions of innocent people.  Unfortunately, it is the women, children and innocent civilians who suffer the most.  

Excellencies;

It is evident that the barrel of the gun cannot bethe ultimate answer as testified by the recurrence of fighting.  We must deploy serious efforts towards bringing the parties to the negotiating table.  Only the negotiating table will deliver on the demands of all the conflicting parties.  I am hoping that this Mechanism will deploy serious efforts towards initiating comprehensive negotiations. First, let the Regional Oversight Mechanism be a catalyst for completion of the ongoing peace talks in Kampala between the M23 and the government of the DRC.  If these talks are concluded successfully and implemented to the letter and spirit, the first visible manifestation of the conflict will have laid to rest.  But, there are other players, the FDLR and the ADF who should also be engaged and find a peaceful way of making them stop their negative activities against their countries of origin.  

I am of the view that the enlargement of MONUSCO and the deployment of Intervention Brigade to play a dissuading role will not end the war.  Ultimately, and comprehensive and lasting peace will be realised at the negotiating table.  Let us give serious attention to peace talks.  Let the Mechanism support the process in Kampala.  Time has come to reach out to FDLR, ADF and other negative forces with the view to ending the circle of violence.

I also welcome the establishment of a Technical Support Committee to develop benchmarks and ensure day – to – day monitoring and reporting on the implementation of the Framework.  The activities of these processes should be well coordinated to create a synergy and energy that will push the peace agenda of the region to fruition.  

Excellencies;

Once again, I commend the UN Secretary General and the AU Chairperson for supporting theregional Oversight Mechanism and the Technical Support Committee to be established.  I sincerely hope that these two structures will be fully supportedby the region and international stakeholders.  I am confident that through our commitment and support the pursuit of peace negotiations in the DRC, herneighbours and the region will attain the much sought and elusive commodity: namely, peace on its hands.  It can be done.  Let us play our part.  

Thank you for your attention.

WAENDESHA PIKIPIKI WATAKIWA KUJIUNGA NA VYUO VYA UDEREVA

Mkuu wa mkoa wa KAGERA, Kanali Mstaafu FABIAN MASSAWE amewataka waendesha PIKIPIKI  kuachana na  tabia ya kuendesha PIKIPIKI  kwa  mazoea badala yake wajiunge na vyuo vinavyotoa mafunzo ya udereva ili waweze kuelewa vyema kanuni na sheria zinazohusiana na masuala ya usalama barabarani hali ambayo  itakayopunguza ongezeko la ajali mkoani humo.

 

Kanali MASSAWE ametoa kauli hiyo wakati akiitimisha mafunzo wa mwezi mmoja yaliyoandaliwa na chuo cha udereva cha LAKE ZONE kilichoko mjini BUKOBA yaliyotolewa kwa waendesha vyombo vya moto  wa kijiji cha BUGANGO kilichoko wilayani MISSENYI.

 

MASSAWE amewaambia  madereva wanaoendesha PIKIPIKI  zinazofanya biashara ya kubeba abiria maarufu kwa jina la BODA BODA wazingatie sheria iliyowekewa ya kuvaa kofia ngumu , amesema anayeendesha pikipiki bila kuvaa kofia ni sawa na mtu anayedhamilia kujinyonga.

 

Mwenyekiti wa kamati ya usalama barabarani mkoani KAGERA ambaye pia ni Mkurugenzi wa chuo cha udereva cha LAKE ZONE, WINSTON KABANTEGA, amemweleza mkuu wa mkoa kuwa mwamko wa waendesha pikipiki wa kuhudhuria mafunzo ya udereva imewajengea uwezo mkubwa na hivyo wanaendesha pikipiki kwa kujiamini na bila woga.

 

Kwa upande wake afisa wa kikosi cha usalama barabarani, PETER MAGAYANE, amesema ajali mkoani KAGERA zinapungua kwa kasi, amesema kupungua kwa ajali hizo kunachangiwa hatua  idadi kubwa ya waendesha vyombo ya kuchukua uamzi wa kuhudhuria mafunzo ya udereva, amesema ajali chache zinazotokea mkoani kagera zinachangiwa na mambo anayoyabanisha.

 

Nao baadhi ya wahitimu wa mafunzo hayo kwa nyakati tofauti wameahidi kuzingatia mafunzo waliyoyapata ili waweze kujiepusha na ajali, wamesema kuwa mafunzo hayo yamewawezesha kuelewa vizuri kanuni na sheria za usalama barabarani.

 

MUHANDIKI AUMBULIWA

WAJUMBE  wa mkutano mkuu wa  Chama Cha Ushirika KAGERA (KCU) kwa pamoja wamepitisha hoja ya kumfukuza uanachama wa chama hicho ALKAD FELICIAN  MUHANDIKI ambaye  ni mwenyekiti wa chama cha msingi cha KAMACHUMU moja ya vyama vinavyounda ushirika huo kufuatia tuhuma zinazomkabili ya kupanga mikakati ya kutaka kukisambaratisha na kuwagawa wanachama.

 

Uamzi wa kumfukuza MUHANDIKI ulifikiwa na wajumbe hao wwakati  wa mkutano mkuu wa chama hicho uliofanyika kwenye ukumbi wa hoteli ya BUKOBA COOP inayomilikiwa na chama hicho cha ushirika  iliyoko katika manispaa ya BUKOBA.

 

Katika kikao hicho wajumbe wa mkutano huo mkuu walipiga kura za kutokuwa na imani MUHANDIKI, baada ya wajumbe kupiga kura hizo walimuomba  mwenyekiti wa KCU, JOHN BINUNSHU amuondoe ndani ya ukumbi wa mkutano kwa madai kuwa anakisaliti chama hicho cha ushirika.

 

 

Katika kikao hicho mkuu wa wilaya ya BUKOBA, Bi. ZIPORAH LION PANGANI pamoja na kusikitishwa na tabia ya baadhi ya wanachama wa chama hicho ya kutaka kukisambaratisha, alikemea pia tabia ya watu wanaojihusisha na biashara ya kuuza kahawa nje ya nchi kwa njia ya  magendo.

 

 

Kwa upande wake meneja mkuu wa  Chama cha Ushirika cha Mkoa wa KAGERA(KCU) ,VEDASTO NGAIZA katika kikao hicho amesema chama hicho kimekusanya asilimia THEMANINI ya MALENGO ya zao la KAHAWA kwa msimu uliopita wa mwaka 2012/2013 .

 

Amesema KCU ilikuwa  ilijiwekea malengo ya kukusanya jumla ya tani ELFU KUMI NA TANO, lakini chama kimekusanya  jumla ya tani ELFU KUMI NA MOJA ikiwa ni asilimia THEMANINI kutokana na baadhi ya changamoto ambazo anazibainisha kuwa ni pamoja  ushindani uliopo wa ununuzi wa kahawa kati ya chama hicho na wanunuzi binafsi wenye mitaji mikubwa.

 

Taarifa ambazo zimepatikana zinadai kuwa mhandiki alikuwa anawania nafasi ya uenyekiti wa KCU akaenguliwa kwa kukosa sifa.

 

Australian prime minister says reports of Chinese hacking are 'inaccurate'

Prime Minister Julia Gillard talks during House of Representatives question time on May 28, 2013 in Canberra, Australia.

(CNN) -- Prime Minister Julia Gillard of Australia has described as "inaccurate" a TV report alleging that several government institutions including the country's main spy agency fell victim to foreign cyberattacks.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation's investigative program Four Corners reported that hackers, thought to be from China, had breached government agencies including the prime minister's office and cabinet, as well as the departments of foreign affairs and defense.

The most striking element in the report was the allegation that a cyberattack from a server in China stole the blueprints to the new headquarters of the ASIO, Australia's top intelligence organization, including details on the building's security and communications systems, its floor plan and the locations of its servers.

But Gillard sought to play down the TV program's claims.

Australia the 'lucky country' for a better life: survey

"There were a number of unsubstantiated allegations of hacking in the Four Corners report as the attorney general has stated," she said, according to CNN affiliate Network Seven. "Neither he or the director general of ASIO intend to comment further on these inaccurate reports."

At a foreign ministry news conference Tuesday, Chinese officials called the report a "baseless accusation."

"Since the attacks are technically untraceable, it's difficult to find the origin of these attacks," said foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei. "I don't know where does the evidence come from for media to make such reports."

Hong added that cybersecurity is an issue internationally and it calls for a "calm and thorough discussion."

"Making baseless accusation will not help to improve the current situation," he said.

Earlier this month, the United States accused China of trying to extract sensitive information from U.S. government computers.

A Pentagon report said China was carrying out the attacks in an effort to extract information from "diplomatic, economic and defense industrial base sectors that support U.S. national defense programs."

At the time, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said China was "firmly against any forms of cyberattacks." Beijing has in the past insisted that China is the victim of cyberattacks, most originating in the United States.

Mother of newborn saved from toilet pipe sorry for what she did

A newborn baby boy is pictured in the hospital after being rescued from a sewage pipe on Saturday, May 25, in Jinhua, China.

Beijing (CNN) -- The mother of a newborn rescued over the weekend from a toilet pipe in China "deeply regrets what she did," police said Tuesday.

The infant, a baby boy, was saved Saturday in the Chinese city of Jinhua. He remains in the hospital, where he is reported to be in stable condition.

"Local police have found the mother. She deeply regrets what she did. Details of the case are still under investigation," Jinhua police said on the social media website Weibo.

According to a local police officer involved in the case, the mother, whose identity has not been disclosed, says she rushed to the toilet after she began to feel stomach pains and subsequently gave birth to the baby.

"She tried to grab something to help herself because there is too much blood," the police officer said in a video interview Tuesday. "She couldn't hold the baby anymore, and he slides into the sewage through the hole of the toilet."

During questioning, the mother said she never intended for the baby to end up in the toilet, the police officer said in the interview with a local TV channel that was posted on the police's official Weibo account.

She said that after she was unable to retrieve the baby with a stick, she decided to flush the toilet to clear away the blood, according to the officer, whose name and title wasn't provided in the interview.

She then called the landlord, saying she'd heard a strange sound that seemed like a baby and suggested that the landlord and others come to check, the police officer said.

When police arrived at the apartment, they found a pair of pants stained with blood, he said.

Jinhua police didn't respond to a request Wednesday for further information on the case.

Police posted images of the infant at the hospital, showing him sleeping in an incubator and being attended to by various nurses.

Dramatic video of his rescue made global headlines and sparked sympathy.

According to police, one of the firefighters involved visited the baby and sent over clothes, formula powder and diapers.

Someone else sent milk bottles and formula, along with a note that read: "Don't let the baby starve. Let's pray," they said.
