the last two years, inside her house at Khabibulayevo farm some 60 kms

Karakalpakstan region. The babies are among thousands of victims of an

A Fijian police officer stands in front of the remains of the Indian run Kulukulu Public School located 60 kilometres south of Nadi August 7, 2000. Five classrooms, the canteen and a new library were destroyed in the fire, with police investigating the suspicious fire after a burnt desk and bottle of kerosine were found by students in the building last week. Fiji's Indian community has been targeted in recent violence following the recent coup that was led by failed businessman George Speight. Speight is presently being held by authorities on Nuku Lau Island, located around five kilometres out to sea from the capital city of Suva.
