Tokyo evacuates 16,000 to defuse wartime bomb
Published: 05.18.08, 11:50 / Israel News

Tokyo ordered about 16,000 residents to evacuate on Sunday while a bomb squad disposed of an unexploded bomb believed to have fallen during World War II in western Tokyo, Kyodo News said.

Ground Self-Defense Force members removed the fuse of the bomb in a two-hour operation earlier Sunday, and the Chofu city government declared the area safe and called off the alert, Kyodo said. (Reuters)

Missing aide found dead: Police

May 18, 2008 04:10 PM
THE CANADIAN PRESS

Quebec provincial police say the body of a political aide to a prominent provincial cabinet minister has been found in the basement of an abandoned home in Riviere-Ouelle, Que.

Nancy Michaud, 37, an aide to Natural Resources Minister Claude Bechard, disappeared early Friday from her home in what was described by police as a violent kidnapping.

Police, acting on a tip, found her body Sunday afternoon in the abandoned home just a few kilometres from her own residence in the small Quebec town, about 140-kilometres northeast of Quebec City.

Police spokesman Claude Ross says police have not made any arrests in the case.

The mother of two vanished sometime around midnight on Friday.

Her husband returned home to find their young children – an 18-month old and a six-year-old, fast asleep but Michaud gone.

Police broadcast surveillance camera footage of a masked individual, about 5-foot-5, withdrawing money from two bank accounts belonging to Michaud and her husband at a nearby automated teller were released to the public on Saturday.

Canada Ping.
