35 pounds of cocaine found in U.N. mailroom

There was something odd about two sacks that showed up this month in the United Nations mailroom, even if they did have what appeared to be the distinctive U.N. seal, with its globe framed by olive branches.

A baby named for the sky fights for her life after abuse and negligence

New Delhi:  Two cardiac arrests, human bites, brain damage caused possibly by being thrown against a wall - this is what a two-year-old baby in Delhi's AIIMS hospital is trying to survive in the Intensive Care Unit.

Doctors say she has improved marginally in the last few hours, but still believe she has only a 30-40 per cent chance of surviving. Three people have been detained by the Delhi Police and are reportedly being put through DNA tests to determine their links to the baby girl, who has been named Falak, meaning sky, by the staff looking after her.

The doctors monitoring baby Falak say she is a victim of the "battered baby syndrome" and is likely to have
