Bermuda: Stolen pizza
HAMILTON — A hotel worker has received a suspended prison sentence for stealing the debit card information of Bermuda's premier and using it to buy pizza.
Kim Dean says she kept the number from a phone order at the Southampton Princess hotel, but she didn't know the card belonged to Premier Ewart Brown. The 20-year-old clerk pleaded guilty to using the number to purchase $50 worth of pizza in April.
England: Apartment fire
LONDON — Six people, including a 3-week-old baby, were killed and 30 people had to be rescued when fire ripped through a high-rise apartment building in London on Friday, emergency services said.
London Fire Brigade said 18 fire engines and more than 100 firefighters were called to the blaze in the Camberwell area of south London.
Egypt: Workers kidnapped
CAIRO — The international peacekeeping mission in Darfur says gunmen have abducted two female aid workers in the western Sudanese region.
Noureddine Mezni, a spokesman for the United Nations-African Union force, says the two women work for an Irish aid group called GOAL. He says they were seized Friday night from the Kutum region in north Darfur. He says one of the women is Irish and the other is Ugandan.
Iraq: Warning from Biden
BAGHDAD — Vice President Joe Biden warned Iraqi officials Friday that the American commitment to Iraq could end if the country again descended into ethnic and sectarian violence. Biden delivered the warning during a three-day visit to Iraq that began Thursday.
Libya: AU won't cooperate
SIRTE — After bitter wrangling, Africa's leaders agreed Friday to denounce the International Criminal Court and refuse to extradite Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir, who has been indicted for crimes against humanity in Darfur.
The decision at the African Union summit says AU members "shall not cooperate" with the court in The Hague "in the arrest and transfer of President Omar al-Bashir of the Sudan to the ICC."
Mexico: Swine flu worries
CANCUN — As swine flu runs rampant in the Southern Hemisphere winter, world health experts are concerned that some hard-hit countries have been reluctant to take forceful measures to protect public health.
Only Friday, for instance, did Argentina's new health minister, Juan Manzur, raise the country's official death toll to 44. He now estimates that as many as 320,000 people have been stricken with influenza, including about 100,000 with swine flu — a huge jump in what the government acknowledged previously.
Venezuela: Radio stations
CARACAS — The head of Venezuela's telecommunications regulatory agency said Friday that 240 radio stations will have their licenses revoked for failing to update their registrations with the government.
A total of 86 AM radio stations and 154 FM stations have failed to turn in required documents.
