| Kenya seeks UK woman Samantha Lewthwaite's arrest Posted: 26 Sep 2013 12:10 PM PDT  Frank Gardner explains that Samantha Lewthwaite's Kenyan charges relate not to this month's Westgate attack but to her "alleged possession of explosives in December 2011 and an alleged plot at that time to bomb a number of tourist resorts" International police body Interpol has issued a wanted persons notice for Briton Samantha Lewthwaite, at Kenya's request. Ms Lewthwaite, 29, is the widow of one of the four suicide bombers who attacked London on 7 July 2005.Known colloquially as the "white widow", she has been linked with Somali militant Islamist group al-Shabab. Interpol did not link the warrant to the Nairobi shopping complex attack that left at least 67 dead. However, it comes after much speculation linking Ms Lewthwaite to events there. Al-Shabab was behind the attack and subsequent four-day siege at the Westgate shopping complex in the Kenyan capital. An Interpol statement said she was "wanted by Kenya on charges of being in possession of explosives and conspiracy to commit a felony dating back to December 2011". The Interpol alert, known as a "Red Notice", requires member countries to detain the suspect pending extradition procedures. Kenya's request for Interpol to issue a "red flag" for the arrest of Samantha Lewthwaite comes nearly two years after the alleged plot she is accused of being involved in. The Kenyan charges relate not to this month's Westgate attack but to her alleged possession of explosives in December 2011 and an alleged plot at that time to bomb a number of tourist resorts on Kenya's coast. This was serious enough for the Foreign Office to upgrade its travel alert for Kenya, and for Scotland Yard detectives to fly out to Kenya to investigate. Ms Lewthwaite has been on the run for months and was reported to have crossed into Somalia last year. She is not wanted for any terrorism offences in Britain but now that Interpol have circulated the alert for her arrest to 190 member countries, it raises her case from the national to the international. There is still no evidence she had any involvement in the Nairobi attacks. Ms Lewthwaite - who is believed to use the alias "Natalie Webb" - had previously only been wanted for the alleged possession of a fraudulently obtained South African passport. She is the widow of Germaine Lindsay, one of the four bombers involved in the 7 July terror attacks in London in 2005 in which 52 people were killed and hundreds more injured.The BBC's Dominic Casciani says Interpol's red notice acts like a global wanted poster, but it's also a concession by the Kenyan security forces that she is an international danger, not just someone who should be regarded as a passport fraudster. Kenya is continuing three days of official mourning for the civilian and military victims of the siege. The funeral of pregnant television and radio star Ruhila Adatia-Sood was one of many being held on Thursday. Flags are flying at half mast amid visibly tighter security around the Kenyan capital. Security guards were scanning passengers with metal detectors before they boarded buses. Kenyan investigators have been joined by experts from the US, UK, Germany, Canada and Interpol to comb the sprawling shopping complex for DNA, fingerprints and ballistic clues. On Thursday the UK Foreign Office said that the number of British nationals known to have been killed in the attack was lower than previously thought. It had reported that six Britons were among those killed, but it now says that one of the dead previously thought to be British is in fact a Kenyan national. But at the same time the Foreign Office has warned that the number of British dead could rise before the search of the shopping centre is over. Somali Islamist group al-Shabab has said it had carried out the attack in retaliation for Kenyan army operations in Somalia. The militants stormed the Westgate centre on Saturday, throwing grenades and firing indiscriminately at shoppers and staff. Twitter posts on an al-Shabab account said the group's militants had held 137 people hostage, and claimed the hostages had died after security forces fired chemical agents to end the siege. A government spokesman denied any chemical agents were used, and authorities called on Kenyans to ignore militant propaganda. Al-Shabab, which is linked to al-Qaeda, has repeatedly threatened attacks on Kenyan soil if Nairobi did not pull its troops out of Somalia. About 4,000 Kenyan troops have been serving in the south of Somalia since October 2011 as part of an African Union force supporting Somali government forces. The group is banned as a terrorist group by both the US and the UK and is believed to have between 7,000 and 9,000 fighters. Its members are fighting to create an Islamic state in Somalia  |
| 26-Year Old To Die By Hanging For Robbery & Rape Posted: 26 Sep 2013 12:06 PM PDT  The condemned armed robber and rapist was arraigned on a three-count charge of conspiracy to commit armed robbery, armed robbery and rape before the court. He was found guilty on all the charges and sentenced to death on count one and two, while he got life imprisonment on the charge of rape. Prosecution from Delta State Ministry of Justice had told the court that Chijioke, from Enugu State, with another person still at large, on or about October 12, 2009, at Okoro Street, Warri, off Marine Gate, within the Warri Judicial Division, robbed his victims of a DVD player, a laptop computer, cash, jewelries and other valuables at gunpoint and also raped their teenage daughter. The convict was arrested by the vigilante group in the area as his gang made to escape with their loot. Justice Mukoro held: "With the avalanche of facts and evidences before this court, for the accused to say he was not involved in the crime is laughable and an afterthought. "For the court to hold the evidence of the accused will amount to denial of justice, thereby bringing the bar and the bench to disrepute. "I hereby uphold the evidence of prosecution as all the ingredients of the offence have been proved beyond reasonable doubt and sentence the accused to death by hanging on count one and two."

| Let God Be The Judge Between Me And Kollington Ayinla- Queen Salawa Abeni Posted: 26 Sep 2013 12:01 PM PDT  In her words "Even though Kollington and I have gone our separate ways 23 years ago, I still consider him a big part of my life because I bore him children who bear his name. His name will forever be written in the history of my life. Though we do not have a smooth relationship, and I have been solely responsible for the upbringing of my children up to university level, I still maintain the fact that he is part of me. Let God be the judge of whatever bad Kollington has done me." She is gradually bouncing back to the music industry after years of taking a break due to a throat ailment. She also said she is thankful to God because she did not believe she could get a cleaning job, not to talk of becoming a celebrity due to her poor educational background.  |

| 2 small caskets in Georgia and a mother charged with murder in California Posted: 26 Sep 2013 11:28 AM PDT  When two small caskets gradually descend into the ground Thursday in Atlanta, it may begin to sink into their father's head that his children are gone. It hasn't so far. As Mark Edge has cried over them, he has felt their presence at his side. Police recovered their bodies in a Santa Ana, California, hotel room nearly two weeks ago. Their mother poisoned them, authorities allege. Jaelen was 13, Faith was 10. A custody battle that raged around them for years had just been settled. Edge was supposed to be packing up their books and pencils back in Cobb County, Georgia, making their breakfast, and getting them off to school about now. Earlier this month, a Georgia court ordered his ex-wife Marilyn Edge to hand them over to him. But it seems she wasn't going to let him have them. Mark Edge's lawyer Marian Weeks had a feeling his ex would split town by how she behaved when the custody ruling came down.  Marilyn Edge is charged with two counts murder in connection with deaths of her two children on September 14, 2013. The children were found dead in a hotel room in Santa Ana, California. When the judge awarded custody of the children to the father in early September, their mother made an abrupt exit, Weeks told. "When Judge Leonard was giving his order on Wednesday afternoon, she got up and left the courtroom in the middle of it," she said. Weeks told her client that she thought Marilyn Edge might flee to California, where she used to live. It wasn't the first time She had bolted with them before, Mark Edge said. After her children's father received visitation rights a year ago, Marilyn Edge ran away with them to her native Arizona. "But neither of us thought she'd kill the children," Weeks said. Police arrested Marilyn Edge not far from the hotel where Jaelen and Faith's lifeless bodies lay. She had rammed her car into poles protecting an electrical box in a Home Depot parking lot. Police think she was trying to kill herself. Orange County has charged her with two felony counts of special circumstance murder. The special circumstances being multiple murders and murder by poisoning. She could spend the rest of her life in a state prison without parole if a court convicts her. Marilyn Edge is scheduled to enter a plea to the charges in a Santa Ana court on October 25. Indescribable pain She had often used their children to hurt him, Mark Edge alleges. But finally they were going to live under his roof, and he was excited about that. "I started doing all the preparations that I needed for my kids as far as trying to get them in school," he said. "My mind was just on them." Then the police appeared at his door. The news hurled him into a dark place. "It hurt me so bad; I had a feeling that I never felt before. It was the total opposite of what I felt when they were born," he said. The pain was immense. He couldn't describe it in words. Edge checked himself into the Veteran's Administration hospital, his lawyer said. Facing his wife Edge is still holding fast to his deceased son and daughter. He is together with them in God's hand, he says. And he is still doing things for them, imagines their future stretched out before him. He pictures his son going to his school prom. "I don't see them as not being here with me right now. I see my children still here with me. When I sleep, I dream of my son, and I dream of my daughter." Edge says he is strapped for cash. The Willie Watkins funeral home is taking donations to help pay for his children's funeral. And he is trying to raise funds on gofundme.com to pay for a trip to California, he told WSB. There, he may have to face his former wife again, at her murder trial.  |

| 'Sugar gel' helps premature babies Posted: 26 Sep 2013 11:17 AM PDT  A dose of sugar given as a gel rubbed into the inside of the cheek is a cheap and effective way to protect premature babies against brain damage, say experts. Dangerously low blood sugar affects about one in 10 babies born too early. Untreated, it can cause permanent harm. Researchers from New Zealand tested the gel therapy in 242 babies under their care and, based on the results, say it should now be a first-line treatment. Their work is published in The Lancet. Sugar dose Dextrose gel treatment costs just over £1 per baby and is simpler to administer than glucose via a drip, say Prof Jane Harding and her team at the University of Auckland. "Start QuoteAndy Cole Bliss Current treatment typically involves extra feeding and repeated blood tests to measure blood sugar levels. But many babies are admitted to intensive care and given intravenous glucose because their blood sugar remains low - a condition doctors call hypoglycaemia.The study assessed whether treatment with dextrose gel was more effective than feeding alone at reversing hypoglycaemia. Neil Marlow, from the Institute for Women's Health at University College London, said that although dextrose gel had fallen into disuse, these findings suggested it should be resurrected as a treatment. We now had high-quality evidence that it was of value, he said. Andy Cole, chief executive of premature baby charity Bliss, said: "This is a very interesting piece of new research and we always welcome anything that has the potential to improve outcomes for babies born premature or sick. "This is a cost-effective treatment and could reduce admissions to intensive care services, which are already working at high capacity levels. "While the early results of this research show benefits to babies born with low blood sugars, it is clear there is more research to be done to implement this treatment."  |
