IRAN has unblocked access to the Google search engine and its Gmail email service after briefly filtering them owing to an “error”, the Fars news agency reported.
“Due to an error, the Google site was filtered on Sunday evening but the error was corrected and now Google and its different sites like Gmail can be used,” said an official from the state-run communications company.
Earlier today, Hamid Shahriari, the secretary of Iran’s National Council of Information, had confirmed that the sites were being filtered, without providing further explanation. . . .
NEW YORK: New York police searched Monday for a Bangladeshi man believed to have jumped from a cargo ship traveling between France and the port of Newark, New Jersey. Another man who jumped with him was found early Monday and taken to a hospital. The men were part of the crew on the 797-foot (243-meter) ship, called Manhattan Bridge, that originated in France, police said.
Fishermen spotted one of the men on an island off the coast of Staten Island, which is New York's City's most southern borough, and the police harbor unit picked him up. "The other individual is still missing. They physically jumped off," Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said. The rescued man was taken to a hospital. His condition was not immediately known.
