2 suicide bombings kill 13 in northeastern Nigeria
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria — Two female suicide bombers killed 13 people at a crowded market and a military checkpoint outside the biggest city in northeast Nigeria, witnesses said Friday.
It is the fourth attack in a week in which at least 162 people have been killed, including four suicide bombers, as Boko Haram Islamic extremists appear to obey an Islamic State group order to step up attacks in the holy month of Ramadan. Nigeria’s homegrown extremist group became the IS group’s West Africa franchise earlier this year.
In the most deadly attack, the militants targeted several mosques in Kukawa town on Wednesday, gunning down nearly 100 praying worshippers. Kukawa is 180 kilometers (110 miles) northeast of Maiduguri, the biggest city in the northeast.
Robot kills worker at Volkswagen plant in Germany
A robot has killed a contractor at one of Volkswagen’s production plants in Germany, the automaker has said.
The man died on Monday at the plant in Baunatal, about 100km (62 miles) north of Frankfurt, VW spokesman Heiko Hillwig said.
The 22-year-old was part of a team that was setting up the stationary robot when it grabbed and crushed him against a metal plate, Hillwig said.
The 22-year-old was part of a team that was setting up the stationary robot when it grabbed and crushed him against a metal plate, Hillwig said.
He said initial conclusions indicate that human error was to blame, rather than a problem with the robot, which can be programmed to perform various tasks in the assembly process.
He said it normally operates within a confined area at the plant, grabbing auto parts and manipulating them.
Another contractor was present when the incident occurred, but was not harmed, Hillwig said. He declined to give any more details about the case, citing an ongoing investigation.

SpaceX rocket explodes after launch
An unmanned rocket by Elon Musk's SpaceX on a resupply mission to the International Space Station exploded Sunday just minutes after launch.
It wasn't clear what caused the rocket, named Dragon, to fail. SpaceX will conduct an investigation overseen by the Federal Aviation Administration.
It was the third resupply mission to fail in recent months. The three astronauts on the space station have about four months worth of supplies, according to NASA.
Sunday's flight was carrying more than 2 tons of goods, including 1,500 pounds of food and provisions for the crew.
More cargo missions are planned this summer, including Russian flights on July 3 and July 22, and a Japanese launch on August 16. The next SpaceX flight is scheduled for September.
Also aboard the doomed Dragon spacecraft were a new docking device and a water filtration system.
Three space station astronauts, two Russians and NASA's Scott Kelly, had been awaiting SpaceX's shipment, which was meant to arrive on Tuesday.
In a tweet from space Sunday afternoon, he said he watched the launch. "Space is hard," wrote Kelly, who is the brother-in-law of former Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords

South African schoolboy aged NINE marries 62-year-old woman
Sanele Masilela and Helen Shabangu of Tshwane, South Africa wed in 2013, claiming it was an order from their dead ancestors. The renewing of the vows was required by a local tradition which states a wedding ceremony has to be repeated at the bride’s home in order to make it official, according to Irish website, Her.ie.
Although the two are married, the boy’s mother, Patience, explained in a Buzzfeed interview, the union is only symbolic and the couple doesn’t live together or engage in any sexual relations.
“I know it’s what the ancestors wanted. If we hadn’t done what my son had asked, then something bad would have happened in the family,” she said.
The young boy said about the matter: “I’m happy that I married Helen, but I will go to school and study hard. When I’m older, I will marry a lady my own age.”
Escaped murderer David Sweat has been shot and in custody
Escaped murderer David Sweat, who led law enforcement on a more-than-three-week chase, has been shot and is in custody.
A New York State Police sergeant on roving patrol saw Sweat on Sunday, and after Sweat ran, the sergeant shot him, according to a law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation. It did not appear Sweat was armed, the official said.
A photo exclusively obtained by CNN shows Sweat in custody moments after his capture. The photograph shows him bloodied, wearing a camouflage outfit -- not prison garb.
He was taken into custody in the town of Constable, in upstate New York, close to the Canadian border.
"At approximately 3:20 p.m. on June 28, Sergeant Jay Cook of the New York State Police spotted a suspicious man walking down a roadway," state police said in a statement.

Buhari condemns recent Boko Haram attacks, reassures of uncompromising commitment to end terrorism
Press statement from the Presidency
President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned in the strongest language the latest terrorist attacks on Borno and Yobe communities by the Boko Haram bandits. In a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, the President said he was deeply touched by these mindless incidents of violence on innocent people during the month of Ramadan.
According to President Buhari, the terrorists are enemies of everybody, and enemies of humanity everywhere. He explained that no sane people who believe in any god would be destroying the lives of innocent people in cold blood, adding that terrorists don’t represent any religion.
The President said the pattern of their indiscriminate violence against innocent people shows that they represent nothing else but anarchy and devilry. In what appears to be one of his toughest expressions of outrage, President Buhari reminded the terrorists of his uncompromising resolve to tackle them with all the resources at the disposal of his government.
“Make no mistake about it: this government is ever determined to discharge its fundamental duty of protecting the lives of its citizens from physical threats from any groups bent on creating chaos, confusion, and on destroying social and economic life of the people”, he further warned.
President Buhari, who extended his sympathy to the families of the victims, reassured all Nigerians that his government would never tolerate to terrorist blackmail, and that our security forces would confront the Boko Haram bandits to the last man.
Describing terrorists as “cowards who lack any moral inhibition and any iota of humanity to reason compassionately” would not find Nigeria a safe haven, because “they would be “hunted down without mercy and compromise.” He reassured Nigerians that security would be tackled by his administration with vigorous determination.
The President, however, advised Nigerians to show more vigilance and be alert to the presence of suspicious people around them, adding that “the terrorists are enemies of religion and humanity.” He explained that “no true believers in any God would target worshipers, holy places, or people who are fasting and other innocent Nigerians.”

Trayvon Bromell: Teen U.S. sprinter makes Usain Bolt look lethargic in 2015
Usain Bolt's status as the world's fastest man is not only under assault by Justin Gatlin this year -- an American teenager is also proving to be a threat.
Bolt's indifferent season so far -- the Jamaican sprinter's best time in the 100 meters is 10.12 seconds -- was put into stark perspective when 19-year-old college student Trayvon Bromell ran 9.84s at the USATF Outdoor Championships in Oregon on Thursday.
He followed that up by finishing second in Friday's final to become the first U.S. teen to qualify for the world championships in the men's 100m.
