謀殺嫌疑人在美國南部落網 (Murder Suspect Captured in Southern US)

因涉嫌在紐西蘭殺死自己的妻子而被通輯的中國公民薛乃印在美國被捕。有關當局說，薛乃印星期四在喬治亞州的亞特蘭大市被捕。薛乃印被指控去年9月在紐西蘭殺死了妻子劉安安，並在逃亡美國前把3歲的女兒遺棄在澳大利亞墨爾本的一個火車站。

為了抓獲薛乃印，聯邦執法機構四處張貼他的照片並把照片在一個專門尋找在逃犯的電視節目上公佈。當局說，亞特蘭大的一些華人認出了薛乃印，並在警察到來之前把他制服。他先前使用了一個假名，但是警方在他的錢夾裏發現了他的紐西蘭駕駛執照。

薛乃印將被遣送回紐西蘭接受謀殺罪的起訴。他的女兒目前在中國和親人住在一起。

Chinese national Nai Yin Xue wanted for allegedly murdering his wife in New Zealand has been apprehended in the United States. Authorities say Nai Yin Xue was arrested Thursday in Atlanta, Georgia. Xue is accused of murdering his wife, An'an Liu, last September in New Zealand, then abandoning the three-year-old daughter at a train station in Melbourne, Australia, before fleeing to the U.S.

Federal law enforcement agents posted his picture on billboards and a popular television show devoted to capturing fugitives. Authorities say Xue was recognized by a group of Chinese nationals in Atlanta, who physically restrained him until police arrived. He initially gave a false name, but police found his wallet with his New Zealand driver's license.

Xue will be extradited to New Zealand to face the murder charge. His daughter is living in China with relatives. 

王子阿富汗服役消息洩露英將召回 (Britain To Withdraw Prince From Afghanistan After Deployment Revealed)

英國國防部說，由於哈裏王子被派往阿富汗打擊塔利班分子前線的消息被披露，將立即把哈裏王子從阿富汗召回。英國政府先前與英國主要媒體達成協定，媒體在哈裏王子的駐防任務6月中旬結束之前不做任何報導。

但是這個星期，美國的一家網站打破新聞封鎖，報導了23歲的王子、英國王位第三繼承人服役的消息。報導說，自從去年12月中旬以來，哈裏王子一直和他的戰友在阿富汗南部動亂的赫爾曼德省作戰。英軍統帥理查德.達納特說，哈裏王子的行為堪稱表率，這位年輕皇室成員和他的戰鬥小組的任何一位成員一樣承擔著同樣的風險。

Britain's Ministry of Defense says Prince Harry will be withdrawn from Afghanistan immediately now that his deployment on the front lines of the war with the Taliban has been revealed. The British government had reached an agreement with major media operating in Britain that they would not report the prince's deployment until it was scheduled to end in mid-June.

But this week an American Web site broke the news blackout on the service of the 23-year-old prince, third in line to the throne, revealing that he has been fighting alongside his fellow troops in the lawless Helmand province in southern Afghanistan since mid-December. The head of the British army, General Richard Dannatt, says Prince Harry's conduct has been exemplary, and that the young royal has run the same risks as everyone else in his battle group.
