介绍:
Man arrested for shooting two dead A suspect has been arrested in Liaoning in the shooting deaths of two people. The suspect has been picked up on this Friday afternoon in the city of Dalian, less than a day after the shooting. He's accused of gunning down a man and a woman in a residential area of Dalian on Thursday night. The female victim is said to be the man's niece. The suspected motive behind the killings has not been made clear. Economic Fugitive Repatriated to South China Another Chinese economic fugitive has been repatriated. Wu Quanshen has been picked up in Macau after being on the run in West Africa for the past couple of years. The former village chief is on the Chinese government's list of the top 100 economic fugitives. He's wanted in connection with accepting money connected to a local construction project in his home village in Guangdong. Police detain 2 terrorists in Wenzhou, with explosives and knives seized Two people have been arrested in the city of Wenzhou in Zhejiang connected to terrorism. Details about the suspects remain unclear at this point. However, local authorities in Wenzhou, acting on a tip from the provincial police bureau, arrested the pair early this Friday morning. They were allegedly found with explosives and knives during their arrest. Authorities have not said whether they believe an attack by the suspects may have been imminent. Fukushima milk formula seized in central China Border quarantine authorities in Hunan have reportedly seized hundreds of kilograms of baby milk formula produced in areas near the Japan's Fukushima nuclear station. All the products have since been sent back to Japan, even though no radiation issues have been found. China still bans imports of food products from regions affected by the nuclear leak. Yunnan in surrogacy crackdown The Yunnan government has launched a crackdown on surrogacy. A 6-month campaign is being launched, focuing on medical personnel and intermediaries who provide surrogacy services. Media outlets which provide surrogacy advertising will also be targeted. Surrogacy, carrying a child to term on behalf of another couple, is illegal in China. However, it is still a popular way for famlies to skirt the family-planning policies, as adopting children does not violate the so-called "one-child" policy. China conducts third-party evaluation of economic policies China has invited third-party organizations to evaluate the effects of its economic policies. A statement, released by the central government, says the evaluations are meant to ensure policies achieve the desired results. Economic policies being assessed include improving the environment for entrepreneurship and innovation, as well as helping the growth of small and micro enterprises. The Chinese Academy of Sciences and Peking University are among the organizations selected to evaluate the policies. The third-party evaluation report will be presented to the central government by the end of August. 35 killed as Turkish warplanes bomb IS targets in Syria Reports are suggesting as many as 35 Islamic State militants have been killed in a series of air strikes launched by the Turkish airforce on the Syrian side of the border. Three F-16 fighters hit 3 separate Islamic State targets in Syrian territory early this Friday morning. The Turkish intervention follows on the heels of a security meeting held Thursday night by Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu. This is the first time the Turkish airforce has engaged Islamic State targets in Syrian territory. It follows on the heels of a deadly suicide bombing earlier this week along the Turkish border which left over 30 young people dead. Meanwhile, the United States and Turkey have reportedly reached an agreement to allow US-led coalition warplanes to use an air base in southern Turkey for US air strikes on Islamic State targets in Syria and Iraq. FBI: IS bigger threat than al-Qaida The head of the FBI has gone on-record saying his organization belives the Islamic State is more dangerous to American interests than al-Qaeda. James Comey has made the suggestion during a speech to an annual security forum in the US state of Colorado. He says the Islamic State's ability to recruit new members through social media is creating a major challenge for the FBI. At the same time, Comey notes the IS is willing to recruit people al-Qaeda would not, suggesting the group is less idealistic and more interested in securing power.

However, his identity, or his possible motivation for the shooting, has not been revealed.
