Bulgarian police reported finding the body of a Somali immigrant in Mount Stranja (southeast) near the Turkish border.

The young woman was in a group of about 30 illegal immigrants caught by border police Sunday near the town of Ravadinovo, about 40 km from the border. Police learned during interrogation that the group abandoned the woman amid a blizzard.

The body was found Monday, noting that temperatures at night fell to more than ten degrees below zero. Two Somalis teenagers, a boy and girl, 16 and 14-years old also suffered from frostbite.

The group included 25 Afghans and three Pakistanis and three Somalis.

Bulgaria is witnessing the incident at the external borders of the European Union in the crowded immigrant reception centers, particularly as a result of the closure of Serbia's borders, cutting the road to central and western Europe.

Nearly 2,000 protesting Shiites have marched against Islamic State in western Afghanistan and condemned the latest string of atrocities perpetrated by the terrorist group.

Protesters holding photos of Shia Muslims killed in recent IS (formerly ISIS/ISIL) terrorist attacks marched to the governor's office in the western city of Herat on Tuesday, according to AFP.

The crowd chanted slogans such as "Death to the enemies of Afghanistan!" and "Death to Daesh!" - another name of Islamic State.


The rally was triggered by the increased number of attacks on local mosques and influential religious scholars.

The city's security forces are doing their best to capture the perpetrators of the recent attacks and to protect local residents from further incidents, Herat Governor Mohammad Asif Rahimi said, according to Afghanistan's Pajhwok news.


On Sunday, an Imam was killed while five others were wounded in one of such attacks. However, Islamic State have not yet claim responsibility for the attack.

Germany is considering setting up special federal centers to help speed up deportation process of rejected asylum-seekers. The initiative, as suggested by Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere, forms part of general security shake-up inspired by Berlin Christmas market attack.

De Maiziere's proposal was released in a guest article in Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) on Monday.

Anis Amri, the prime suspect in the Christmas market attack that killed 12 people, is a Tunisian asylum-seeker who'se application was rejected. He was supposed to be deported from Germany but the process stalled because the man reportedly didn't have documents that could have confirmed his identity. Islamic State later claimed responsibility for the attack.

De Maiziere put forward the idea of creating federal "deportation centres" near airports where people who have been told to leave Germany could live before being deported.

President-elect Donald Trump blasted General Motors Company for building some of its cars in Mexico, and said the largest US automaker should build the car at home or face a hefty tariff.

"General Motors is sending Mexican made model of Chevy Cruze to US car dealers - tax free across border," Trump tweeted Tuesday. "Make in USA or pay big border tax!"


Every Chevrolet Cruze sedan is built in Ohio and most of GM's Mexican-made hatchbacks are "exported to global markets," GM spokesman Tony Cervone told Bloomberg.

Cervone declined to comment on whether the company planned to talk to Trump, although GM CEO Mary Barra is among the panel of business leaders giving the president-elect strategic advice on the economy after he takes office.

Bullet holes are seen in the windscreen of an Audi car as a British police forensics officer inspects the scene of an incident, which resulted in a West Yorkshire police officer shooting a suspect, at the Ainley Top junction of the M62 motorway near Huddersfield, England on January 3, 2017.
Police killings in England and Wales have reached numbers unseen for nearly a decade, according to researchers, after armed officers shot dead a father-of-two on the M62 motorway during a "pre-planned" swoop.

The incident in Huddersfield was the fifth fatal police shooting in the last nine months. Researchers point out the rise in police killings coincides with the government's April announcement that a further 1,500 firearms officers are to be trained over the coming years.

Mohammed Yassar Yaqub died during the West Yorkshire Police operation on an exit slip road near Huddersfield on Monday. The force argued the incident was related to "information received about criminal possession of a firearm," but did not offer further details.
