Police in New Delhi<br />
charged six suspects accused<br />
of raping a woman<br />
in India with murder on<br />
Saturday after the woman<br />
died of injuries sustained<br />
in the attack on December<br />
16. <strong>The</strong> country’s residents<br />
have called for the death<br />
penalty for the suspects,<br />
five men between 20 and<br />
40 and a juvenile.<br />
A Russian jetliner careened<br />
off a runway in<br />
Moscow on Saturday, splitting<br />
into pieces and killing<br />
four of the 12 crewmembers<br />
on board. <strong>The</strong><br />
Tupolev 204 jet, carrying<br />
no passengers, rammed<br />
into a highway barrier and<br />
left smoking chunks of<br />
fuselage on the icy tarmac.<br />
In Syria, Saturday was<br />
possibly the bloodiest day<br />
since the country’s unrest<br />
began 21 months ago, opposition<br />
forces with the<br />
Local Coordination Committees<br />
reported, listing at<br />
least 392 persons as killed,<br />
including 201 persons who<br />
were executed by government<br />
troops in Deir Balbah,<br />
outside the city of<br />
Homs. Russian officials<br />
met with personnel from<br />
the United Nations and<br />
the Arab League, urging<br />
both sides to meet for negotiations.<br />
Meanwhile, Russia’s<br />
foreign minister on Saturday<br />
said Syrian President<br />
Bashar al-Assad had no intention<br />
of stepping down<br />
and it would be an impossibility<br />
of convincing him<br />
otherwise. Lakhdar<br />
Brahimi said the opposition<br />
forces in the country<br />
risked sacrificing more<br />
lives if they continued to<br />
insist on Assad leaving office<br />
as a precondition for<br />
holding talks.<br />
Mexican authorities announced<br />
on Saturday the<br />
discovery of a sophisticated<br />
smuggling tunnel<br />
equipped with electricity<br />
and ventilation near the<br />
Nogales port of entry into<br />
Arizona. Officers located<br />
the tunnel following a tip<br />
on Thursday, finding it 120<br />
yards long and believed to<br />
be designed for transporting<br />
illegal drugs.<br />
Around <strong>The</strong> Globe<br />
British scientists on<br />
Saturday called off a hunt<br />
for exotic life in an icebound<br />
lake in Antarctica,<br />
following difficulties with<br />
drilling into the ice. <strong>The</strong><br />
adventurers had hoped to<br />
find in Lake Ellsworth microbial<br />
life forms that<br />
could provide new insight<br />
into the evolution of life<br />
on Earth. <strong>The</strong>y said the<br />
lake’s floor might contain<br />
sediment that would yield<br />
a new record of the<br />
planet’s climate.<br />
And police in the<br />
French island of Guadeloupe<br />
began looking on<br />
Friday for a thief who<br />
complained of sickness<br />
and spent most of the<br />
journey in the restroom of<br />
an ATR-42 turboprop<br />
plane flying out of Pointea-Pitre<br />
to the Dutch island<br />
of Saint Martin. What<br />
they later found was the<br />
man had removed some of<br />
the restroom panels and<br />
gained entrance into the<br />
Air Antilles baggage area,<br />
where a Brink’s security<br />
employee had secured<br />
three sacks of cash con-<br />
