Grim murders shock El Salvador

 

The decapitated heads of two young women have been thrown from a

road near a police station in the El Salvadorean capital. The

victims were probably between 15 and 20 years old, police say.

 

" It appears they were decapitated just before arriving at the spot,

because they [the heads] were still losing blood. " (Police spokesman)

 

The murders are the latest in a series of gruesome killings that

have taken place in El Salvador and neighbouring Guatemala in recent

months.

 

El Salvador has one of the highest murder rates in Latin America but

the recent spate of killings of young women has been particularly

shocking. . . .

 

The situation is even worse in neighbouring Guatemala, where 150

women were killed in the first three months of this year - twice as

many as a year ago. Many had been dismembered. . . .

 

Both El Salvador and Guatemala are plagued by thousands of street

gangs whose initiation rites often involve taking part in random

murders.

Many killed in Moscow festival blasts

 

Up to 20 people have been killed in a series of explosions at a rock

concert at the Tushino airfield in north-western Moscow, Russian

news agencies say.

 

Police sources suggest that one or more suicide bombers may have

been responsible.

 

The Interfax news agency said the first explosion happened after

guards at the entrance to the festival arrested a woman. It is

thought she may have triggered explosives she was carrying in a belt.

Another woman is reported to have detonated the second blast,

although there are conflicting reports on whether it exploded at the

concert or at a nearby market.

 

Thousands of people were at the " Krylya " (Wings) festival which is a

popular summer event for young music fans in Moscow.

Tamil Tigers mark 'martyr' day

 

Sri Lanka's Tamil Tigers are marking Black Tiger Day - the annual

commemoration of suicide bombers who have died during the past two

decades of conflict.

 

The Black Tigers targeted prominent politicians and presidents,

including the former Indian Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi. They say

that over 240 Black Tigers have died on suicide missions on land and

sea since the first suicide bombing in 1987.
