ranian Nail Salon Owner Brutalized, Robbed in New York Anti-Muslim Attack

Sunday, September 16, 2007

MATINECOCK, New York — An Iranian-American nail salon owner was brutalized by robbers who called her a “terrorist” and scrawled anti-Muslim messages on a mirror in her shop, the victim and police said.

“I’m in shock,” victim Zoreh Assemi told WNBC-TV after the attack Saturday morning, a web of cuts and bruises visible on her face, arms and hands. She said she felt “terrorized ... not by American people, but by a very small group and prejudice. And it hurts.”

China Recalls Tainted Leukemia Drugs

Sunday, September 16, 2007

BEIJING — Chinese authorities ordered the recall of tainted leukemia drugs blamed for leg pains and other problems, state media reported Sunday, the latest crisis to strike the country’s embattled food and drug industries.

Most of the drugs involved — methotrexate and cytarabin hydrochloride — have been recovered and authorities have traced the remainder, the Xinhua News Agency said. The report did not say if any of the drugs had been exported.

Authorities have banned the sale and distribution of the drugs, produced by the Shanghai Hualian Pharmaceutical Co., it said.

China, a major global supplier, has been facing growing international pressure to improve the quality of its exports after dangerous toxins — from lead to an antifreeze ingredient — were found in goods including toys and toothpaste.
