JAKARTA, Indonesia -- Indonesia has seized a luxury yacht on the tourist island of Bali that is wanted by U.S. authorities as part of a probe into alleged multibillion-dollar corruption at Malaysian state investment fund 1MBD. Metro TV on Wednesday showed local police and what it identified as FBI officers on board the sleek 300-foot vessel, Equanimity, moored off Bali.In June, the U.S. Justice Department filed a civil case seeking recovery of $540 million in assets, including the yacht, that it says were stolen from 1MDB, a fund set up by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak that was intended to promote economic development. Overall, the Justice Department says more than $4.5 billion was stolen from the fund.Agung Setya, director of economic crimes at Indonesia s national police, told MetroTV that local authorities began working with U.S. authorities a week ago in relation to the vessel. He said it was located on Tuesday in waters off the island of Lombok, which neighbors Bali, and then shifted to Bali s Tanjung Benoa waters. We have legal confirmation that this asset is the result of a crime, he said. Our law stipulates that anyone who hides an asset res adidas originals donna ulting from the proceeds of crime is committing a money laundering crime.

The United States agreed to a cease-fire with an Iraqi-based terrorist group that will be allowed to continue fighting against the Iranian government, U.S. military officials said Tuesday.The deal signed April 15 with the Mujahedeen Khalq doesn t require its fighters to surrender to U.S.-led coalition forces mdash; at least for now, said a military of stanley becher ficial, who spoke on c stanley cup ondition of anonymity.The cease-fire appears to be a way for the United States to increase pressure on the Tehran government, which Washington has accused of meddling in Iraq in a bid to keep it destabilized in the aftermath of the collapse of Saddam Hussein s regime.But the cease-fire represents a conundrum of sorts for the United States, which has classified the Mujahedeen Khalq as a terrorist organization.

The world s oceans are struggling to breathe, rapidly running out of oxygen at an unprecedented rate. Climate change is dangerously exacerbating the issue, scientists warned in a new study.The International Union for Conservation of Nature IUCN released the largest report of its kind mdash; combining the efforts of 67 scientists from 1 adidas originals mujer 7 countries mdash; at the global climate summit in Madrid on Saturday. It f adidas original campus ound that the oxygen level of the ocean has declined by about 2% since the 1950s, and the volume of water completely depleted of oxygen has quadrupled since the 1960s.Sixty years ago, only 45 ocean sites suffered from low oxygen levels. That number skyrocketed to 700 in 2011. According to the study, about 50% of oxygen loss in the upper part of the ocean is a result of temperature increase. With this report, the scale of damage climate change is wreaking upon the ocean c adidas samba omes into stark focus, Dr. Grethel Aguilar, IUCN acting director general, said in a statement. As the warming ocean loses oxygen, the delicate balance of marine life is thrown into disarray. Deoxygenation will adversely impact food security and human populations all over the world.

A court on Thursday ordered the stanley becher extradition of suspected eco-t stanley cupe errorist Tre Arrow, one of the FBI s most-wanted fugitives, to face firebombing charges in the United States.Arrow, born Michael Scarpitti, is accused of participating in the 2001 firebombing of logging and cement trucks in Oregon. The FBI claims he is associated with the Earth Liberation Front ELF , a group that has claimed responsibility for dozens of acts of destruction over the past few years.British Columbia Supreme Court Judge Kristi Gill ruled that there was enough evidence against Arrow to have him extradited to face federal charges. His lawyer said he would appeal, a process that could take months.The former U.S. Green Party candidate for Congress in 2000 mdash; who says the trees told him to change his name mdash; last week told the court that he was innocent of the charges and a target of a government conspiracy.

Just as many other activists have experienced, I am being targeted by the U.S. government and the FBI, not because I am guilty but because I have chosen to challenge the status quo. In extradition cases, Canadian prosecutors represent the extraditing state, in this case the United States. For an extradition to be ordered, the B.C.

MEXICO CITY -- Ninet nike air force een people were killed and at least 31 were injured Thursday when two explosions ripped through fireworks workshops in a town just north of Mexico City. The dead included four firefighters and two police officers who rushed to the scene after the first explosion, only to be killed by the second blast. Video shot from a nearby highway showed a massive plume of smoke rising up from the area of the explosion in the town of Tultepec. Other images released by local media showed wrecked buildings and scorched ground in a rural patch of modest homes and small farm plots. The government of the State of Mexico said in a statement that eight people from Tultepec were killed, along with the six emergency personnel and two others who have not yet been identified. The state civil defense office later raised the death toll to 19, but did not specify who the other victims were in a statement posted to its Twitter account.
