MEXICO CITY air force 1 mdash; The governor of the western Mexico state of Jalisco has fired the director of the state morgue after a refrigerated truck carrying 157 unidentified bodies drew complaints from neighbors over the smell. Jalisco Gov. Aristoteles Sandoval said he had ordered the ouster of the director of the Jalisco Forensics Institute for what he called indolence and negligence. But the former director, Luis Octavio Cotero, told local media on Tuesday he had warned prosecutors two years ago that the state s overflowing morgue couldn t handle the number of bodies piling up amid Mexico s rising wave of homicides.According to BBC News, laws in Mexi mizuno de co prevent bodies linked to violent crimes to be cremated until investigations are complete.

The biggest spy scandal to hit Britain in a generation was still mushrooming Monday, when the man at the center of the intrigue said his revelations would unmask thousands of Soviet agents worldwide, prompting the Labor government to order an investigation. Acirc; There are thousands of agents identified but of course they extend around the world,Acirc; said Christopher Andrew, a Cambridge academic and co-author of The Mitrokhin Archive: the KGB in Europe and the West. Acirc; Absolutely nobody who spied for the Soviet Union in any stanley cupe part of the world between the Bolshevik revolution in 1917 and the mid-1980s can be certain that his or her secrets are safe.Acirc; The book, which is being serialized in the Times of London newspaper, constitutes Britain s biggest security lapse for decades. And while the evidence, which was gathered by a lone KGB dissident, thus far has centered on Britain, Andrew made it clear the implications would reverberate worldwide. Acirc; The FBI says that it s the single most important and comprehensive intelligence source ever obtained by any individual,Acirc; Andrew said in an interview.

Fearing terrorist attacks, Israel sealed off the West Bank and Gaza Strip, barring Palestinians who live in the territories from entering the country.Israeli newspapers reflected on the past year with disappointment.
