The history of unwed mothers forced into hard labor is a well-documented dark chapter in Irish history. For nearly four decades, thousands of these fallen women toiled at a place called the Home in Galway to atone for having out-of-wedlock children.While many of the women eventually left the Home after serving their time, some of their children apparently were not so fortunate. The Irish Mail on Sunday reports that almost 800 babies were piled onto a mass grave at the structure, which was closed in 1961. According to the Washington Post, a septic tank served as the gravesite, which had no markers or coffins. The Post reports that historian Catherine Corless made the discovery after tracking down never-before-released documents. The bones are still there, Corless told the newspaper.

The armed Basque separatist grou kubki stanley p ETA called off its 15-month-old cease-fire with the Spanish government in a statement Tuesday, formalizing what many saw as the demise of a once-promising peace process already struck down by a deadly bombing in December.ETA said the truce it called in March 2006 would end at midnight Tuesday, and that after that it would be active on all fronts to defend the Basque homeland. The move could mean a quick resumption of violence, and authorities say they are on high alert.In a statement sent to two Basque newspapers, it blamed the government mdash; and particularly Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero mdash; for the failed peac stanley cup e process, accusing the Socialist leader of becoming a fascist. Zapatero s character ha stanley quencher s turned into a fascism that left parties and citizens without rights, ETA said.It was a bitter pill for Zapatero, who had made ending the nearly 40-year-old conflict one of the main goals of his administration. Three months after the ETA cease-fire announcement, Zapatero said his government would negotiate with ETA, earning the wrath of the conservative opposition, which accused him of giving in to terrorism. In a short televised speech on Tuesday, Zapatero said the truce had already ended with the December bombing and he noted that ETA has declared cease-fires before, only to resume its armed campaign. Now, as it did then, ETA is again making a mistake, the prime minister said, vowing to remain tough against the mil

BANGKOK -- King Bhumibol Adulyadej, revered in Thailand as a demigod, a humble father figure and an anchor of stability through decades of upheaval at home and abroad, died Thursday. He was 88 and had been the worldrsquo longest reigning monarch.The Royal Palace said Bhumibol died in a peaceful state at Siriraj Hospital, where he had been treated for various health problems for most of the past decade.During a reign that spanned 70 years, the U.S. adidas samba donna -born Bhumibol became much more than Thailandrsquo constitutional monarch. He was the nationrsquo one constant as myriad governments rose and fell, a gentle leader who used the influence of the throne to unify the nation and rally troops through the Cold War as Thailandrsquo neighbors fell under communist control. In his heyday, the frail-looking, soft-spoken man in spectacles wielded so much power and respect, he was able airforce to squelch coups and rebellions with a gesture or a few well-chosen words.Bhumibol was viewed by many in the majority Buddhist nation as a bodhisattva, or holy being who delays entering nirvana to aid the human r salomon gtx ace. But while junta leaders, prime ministers and courtiers approached him only on their knees, Bhumibol was remarkably down-to-earth. He rolled up his sleeves and hiked into impoverished villages and remote rice paddies to assess the state of his country and help resolve everything from water and food shortages to family squabbles.

More than a dozen times, former Libyan Ambassador Abdul Rajab Azzarouq hiked, cane in hand, up a treacherous four-mile jungle path to a Musl stanley cup im rebel hide-out to negotiate the release of a group of Western hostages. During the visits, Azzarouq hammered out a multimillion-dollar deal, bankrolled by Libya, under which the Abu Sayyaf guerrillas agreed to release their hostages from nearly four months of captivity. Libya, long accused by the United States of coddling terrorists, is hoping to cast aside that stigma by helping end the widely publicized hostage crisis. The releases, initially scheduled for Wednesday, were delayed by minor hitches and bad weather and are now expected on Friday. Libya in the past has been linked to terrorism by America. This is their way of telling the world that it is not a country that supports terrorism but in fact helps end this kind of problem, said an ambassador of a nation which has several citizens held hostage, insisting on anonymity for fear of jeopardizing negotiations. Libya clearly hopes to play up its role in the negotiations. A chartered plane from Libya is waiting in Manila to pick up the Western hostages and take them to Tripoli to meet Li stanley cup byan leader Moammar Gadhafi before they return to their home countries.

Palmyra, Syria fell to ISIS just days after the militants chased the Iraqi army out of Ramadi, Iraq, a city of 500,000.

In a brazen show of power in Somalia s capital, Islamist rebels punished four men convicted of stealing cell phones and other items by cutting off a hand and a foot each before hundreds of onlookers who gathered for the bloody spectacle.The punishments were the latest sign that insurgents wield the real power in the lawless African nation, where the embattled, Western-backed government is struggling to survive.

Washingtonmdash; The Trump administration is dispatching military personnel to the U.S.-Mexico border to help officials there respond to large groups of migrants it believes crocs badelatschen may yeezy form if courts block one of its main policies to restrict asylum, senior immigration officials said Friday.A crisis response force of 160 military police, aviators and engineers will be deployed over the weekend to ports of entry in El Paso and San Diego, two of the most highly transited crossings along the U.S. southern border.Senior officials with Customs and Border Protection CBP said the agency asked the Pentagon for assistance in response to a court order last week that briefly blocked the so-called Remain in Mexico policy, which requires asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico for their chance to appear before a U.S. immigration judge.Though officials said the military units will help ensure ports of entry operations are not disrupted by large groups of migrants, it is unclear what their specific functions will be. The senior CBP officials confirmed the Pentagon personnel will not engage in immigration enforcement, but would not say if it would help in the forcible removal of migrants who show up at ports of entry.CBP temporarily closed some ports of entry last Friday when groups of migrants congregated near them to see if they could get some relief through the initial order by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which said the asylum policy, known officially as the Migrant Protection Protocols, nike dunk high w Rfkd Lawyers for Nazi accountant of Auschwitz file appeal
Iran s start-and-stop announcements over the release of one of three detained Americans add up to a distinct message: President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his allies still have a fight on their hands within the ruling ranks.The confusing signals over the fate of 31-year-old Sarah Shourd - whose planned Satu stanley cup rday release was personally backed by Ahmadinejad - underscore the wider backlash to efforts at expanding his powers and sway over internal policies and Iran s foreign affairs, analysts say.It also points to one of the main fissures in Iran s conservative leadership: Ahmadinejad and his stanley termosy allies against the powerful judiciary overseen by Iran s supreme leader.The judiciary head, Ay stanley mug atollah Sadeq Larijani - who took over shortly after the Americans were detained along the Iraqi border in July 2009 - apparently sees the detainees as his portfolio alone.On Saturday, the judiciary s website quoted Tehran s chief prosecutor, Abbas Jafari Dowlatabadi, as saying none of the detained Americans would be released until the end of the legal procedure and stressed that Shourd would not receive special treatment despite reported health concerns, including a breast lump and precancerous cervical cells. It s unclear whether the prosecutor was referring to a trial on possible spy charges - which could takes weeks or months - or some other kind of case review.
