A stash of cocaine worth $22,000 hidden in an Italian forest by a gang of suspected drug dealers was reportedly destroyed by wild boars.

Police dismantled the smuggling operation in Tuscany after placing a wiretap on members of the gang, which consisted of three Albanians and an Italian, The Local reported. While listening on a call, officials overheard a person complaining about the damage caused by the hogs.

Four suspects were arrested on drug charges after the bust, which left two members in jail and two under house arrest, Italian newspaper Il Tirreno reported.

The gang came to the attention of police during an investigation into the killing of a 21-year-old Albanian in May last year. The scheme allegedly funneled drugs from a supply channel in Perugia to various provinces, including Siena and Arezzo.

The drug stash was hidden in a forest area in the Valdichiana valley.

Authorities in Colorado investigating a possible killing at an apartment in a Denver neighborhood made a grisly discovery on Friday when they located the body of an adult male encased in concrete in the basement, according to officials.

The Adams County Sheriff's Office said in a news release that detectives had obtained a search warrant for an apartment on York Street in unincorporated Adams County after receiving information from the Arvada Police Department regarding a possible shooting that took place at the location on Nov. 8.

A SWAT team served the search warrant at the apartment on Thursday afternoon and arrested 38-year-old Russell Montoya Jr. inside.

"A search of the residence and multiple interviews have confirmed that a shooting and homicide occurred inside the apartment," the sheriff's office said.

Nearly 110,000 "Dreamers" approved under the Obama administration's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program have an arrest record, according to a new report released by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

The report, released on Saturday, found that of the nearly 889,000 illegal child immigrants who had applied for the DACA program, 12 percent had arrest records.

Of that figure, 85 percent (67,861) were arrested before their most recent DACA approval and 15,903 were arrested after their most recent approval.

More than 35 percent (24,898) have been arrested more than once, while 218 had been arrested on more than 10 separate occasions. Of these individuals, the report said that 54 have a DACA case status of "approved" as of October this year.

Offenses committed by these individuals according to their U.S. arrest records including assault, battery, rape, murder, and driving under the influence.

The largest number of DACA applicants were arrested on suspected driving-related offenses excluding DUIs (23,305) and immigration-related offenses (12,968).

Other offenses incurred by those who had been arrested before their most recently approval to the program include battery (3,421), assault (3,308), burglary, breaking and entering (1,471), and theft or larceny (7,926).

Relating to the most serious offenses, 62 arrests were for rape while 15 were for murder.

Six dead so far in Iranian fuel price protests

Tensions remain high in Iran three days after a sharp hike in fuel prices sparked deadly protests in dozens of towns and cities across the country.

The situation on the streets was unclear on November 18, however, largely due to an Internet outage imposed by authorities that has stemmed the flow of videos and communications shared on social media.

Officials said six people had been killed in clashes -- including three protesters, two members of Iran's security forces, and one security guard -- but reports suggest the death toll could be much higher.

Iran's government on November 18 insisted that its decision to ration fuel and increase the price was the right one.

"The president [Hassan Rohani] has shown courage with the rationing of fuel and made the right economic decision, even if many disagree," said government spokesman Ali Rabiei on November 18, while warning that violence and vandalism would not be tolerated.

The AFP news agency quoted Rabiei as saying the situation was "calmer" though there were still "some minor issues."

Comment: Moscow doesn't rule out that external forces are contributing to the protests: "The current situation is already difficult and tense: the significant increase in gasoline prices, of course, added fuel to the fire, but external forces are also actively working," said Zamir Kabulov, director of the Second Asia Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

"The US's goal vis-à-vis Iran is nothing other than to disturb its security and set fire to the Iranian nation's interests," Iran's Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani told the Parliament's Monday session. This was in response to comments from US Secretary of State Pompeo:

Pompeo has voiced outright support for acts of violence staged across various Iranian cities under the guise of protests against fuel price hikes. The violence has seen anarchists destroying public property and setting ablaze banks and gas stations among other facilities.

Larijani said through the remarks, "He (Pompeo) openly supports immolation of the Iranian people's properties through foolish shamelessness and opportunism, while calling it defending the Iranian people."

Such comments, Larijani added, serve to openly manifest the US's destructive ambitions regarding the Islamic Republic.

Bloomberg gets blasted for apology & U-turn on NYC's 'stop & frisk' policy - ahead of his presidential nomination bid

What better time than an election campaign start to repent sins? Former NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg probably thought so as he apologized at a black church for the controversial 'stop and frisk' policy, but few were buying it.

A billionaire media mogul and a former New York mayor, Michael Bloomberg has suddenly backtracked on his longstanding support for the controversial 'stop and frisk' police policy he adamantly backed during his time as mayor.

The questionable practice involving police briefly detaining, questioning and sometimes searching random people on the streets for weapons or other illegal possessions was particularly robust during the times when Bloomberg was mayor. Between 2003 and 2013, over 100,000 stops were made each year on average, with that number peaking in 2011 up to more than 685,000.

The program was criticized over racial profiling as it predominantly targeted African Americans and Hispanic Americans while many of those stopped were later found to be innocent. Such practices have hardly earned Bloomberg many friends among those communities but the billionaire seemingly could not care less about this fact - until right now.

Retired Indian general disgusts audience with calls for mass rape of Muslim women in Kashmir

A former Indian Army major general has 'gone dark' after his angry call during a TV debate for "death for death, rape for rape" in Kashmir caused a public outcry among civilians and the military.

A political talk show on the TV9 Bharatvarsh channel was about the exodus of non-Muslim families from Kashmir Valley. Since the 1990s, hundreds of thousands of people were forced to flee, when they were targeted by a Muslim insurgency in a campaign of ethnic cleansing that involved kidnappings, assassinations, rapes, and other crimes.

The on-camera debate descended into a shouting match, and at one point S P Sinha, the retired major general screamed his vision of retaliation: "Death for death, rape for rape," the Print reported. The plan sounded like one from an age when women were considered to be a man's property under talionic justice, but would obviously be a war crime if there was a politician crazy enough to implement it today.

"Thank God that no kids were hurt," Reid said.

Police said the victims were Asian males between the ages 25 and 35.

Universities and Colleges Union: Anyone should be allowed to 'identify' as black regardless of the colour of their skin or background

The Universities and Colleges Union has set out its stance in a report on the ongoing row about whether men should be able to self-identify as women and be treated as female regardless of their anatomy.

Anyone should be allowed to 'identify' as black regardless of the colour of their skin or background, according to Left-wing university leaders.

The Universities and Colleges Union has set out its stance in a report on the ongoing row about whether men should be able to self-identify as women and be treated as female regardless of their anatomy.

The UCU's 'position statement' did not just stand by its support for self-identification of gender, but also insisted people can choose their own race, saying: 'Our rules commit us to ending all forms of discrimination, bigotry and stereotyping. UCU has a long history of enabling members to self-identify whether that is being black, disabled, LGBT+ or women.'

Comment: It's a truly bizarre phenomenon to witness - people lying to themselves about who they are and, despite the obvious fact that it's a lie, everyone not only going along with it, but screaming in outrage at anyone who doesn't. 'Clown World' doesn't even come close to encapsulating this.
