S. Korea: 10 die in fire
SEOUL — A fire tore though an indoor shooting range in southern South Korea, killing 10 people, including at least two Japanese tourists, and injuring six.
Some people were on fire as they ran out of the building Saturday, Yonhap news agency quoted a witness as saying.
An official at the National Emergency Management Agency said authorities were struggling to identify the dead because of their burns. A police official said at least two Japanese were confirmed killed, and three other Japanese were presumed to have perished.
Nine Japanese tourists and their South Korean guide were inside the facility in the southeastern port city of Busan when the fire broke out on the second floor of a five-story building, police official Han Jong-seok said. He said it was not known how many other people were in the building.
Mexico: 15 killings in a day
CIUDAD JUAREZ — Authorities say a 7-year-old boy, three women and a university professor are among 15 people who were killed in a single day in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez.
State prosecutor's spokesman Arturo Sandoval says the child was traveling with his father in a pickup truck when gunmen opened fire Friday, killing them both.
Sandoval says three women were shot to death in two separate incidents. A university professor was killed in a residential area. Sandoval says that nine other men were killed in six separate incidents.
Pakistan: Attack on mayor
PESHAWAR — A police official says more than a dozen militants opened fire on the house of an anti-Taliban mayor in northwestern Pakistan. Security guards repelled the attack, killing three assailants.
Nabi Shah says some of the militants disguised themselves by wearing burqas, the all-encompassing garment traditionally worn by Muslim women. The militants who were not killed managed to escape.
Mayor Mohammad Fahim Khan says Sunday's attack was one of several made on his life. Khan has organized a militia to fight the Taliban in his town of Bazid Khel, some 10 miles south of the main northwestern city of Peshawar.
