A mentally ill man from Germany seriously wounded two passengers in a knife attack on a regional train in western Austria on Tuesday, police said, ruling out a terrorist act.

The attacker then turned on a 17-year-old youth and slashed his neck, police said.
The incident ended when the train pulled into a station and two officers apprehended the man after a brief struggle.
Both victims were taken to hospital, police said.

BREAKING NEWS:United States of America transfers 15 Guantanamo prisoners to UAE

                         
Fifteen Guantanamo Bay prisoners have been transferred to the United Arab Emirates, leaving 61 detainees at the notorious US military-run jail.
The Pentagon said that 12 Yemenis and three Afghans, some of whom had been held for more than 14 years without charge, would settle in the UAE in the largest single transfer of Guantanamo detainees during President Barack Obama's administration.

FULL LIST OF DETAINEE TRANSFERS:
Abd al-Muhsin Abd al-Rab Salih al-Busi
Abd al-Rahman Sulayman
Mohammed Nasir Yahi Khussrof Kazaz
Abdul Muhammad Ahmad Nassar al-Muhajari
Muhammad Ahmad Said al-Adahi

"The United States is grateful to the government of the United Arab Emirates for its humanitarian gesture and willingness to support ongoing US efforts to close Guantanamo," the Pentagon said in a statement.
Congress was notified of the transfers as required under US law, the Pentagon added.
Since the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York, about 780 inmates have been kept at Guantanamo.
Amnesty International USA, a rights group, welcomed the announcement as a sign that US President Barack Obama was serious about closing the controversial jail before he leaves office.  
Sultan Sooud al-Qassemi, a UAE-based political commentator, called the men "low-value detainees" and said the move was a "humanitarian gesture".
"It's a gesture of goodwill, not only to the US President but also to the Pentagon and the US government in general. Regardless of who becomes the next president, whether it's Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, the UAE is signalling a continuity in relations between the US and the United Arab Emirates."
Qassemi also said that there might be a "reintegration programme" that the detainees would undergo.
"These individuals have not been charged with any crime. They have been cleared for release, some of them for a number of years. They are low-value detainees," he added.

Newborn born twin dumped in Lagos canal, found dead

                                

The Lagos State Police Command has begun investigation into the death of two newborn babies, whose corpses were recovered from a canal beside a filling station in the Ajangbadi area of the state.

It was learnt that the two boys, suspected to be twins, were left in the canal on Friday.

A crowd of residents, who were drawn to the scene, was reported to have started taking snapshots of the babies before the arrival of policemen from the Ilemba Hausa division.

After seeing the corpses, the policemen were said to have called the attention of the State Environmental Health Monitoring Unit, which removed and deposited them in a mortuary.

A police source wondered why the residents did not act immediately they saw the babies, adding that the twins were dead by the time the police arrived.

He said, “A resident alerted us to the scene. By the time we got there, the babies were already dead. There was a crowd of onlookers, some of them were taking snapshots. It is probable that the babies were dropped by their mother for reasons best known to her.

Berlin dismisses migrant hostel firm in email scandal

                          

The Berlin authorities say they no longer want a private company, PeWoBe, to run migrant hostels in the city, after company emails denigrating migrants were leaked to German media.

A lawyer for PeWoBe said the emails had been quoted out of context and were never meant to be taken seriously.
Some PeWoBe managers joked about how to spend a €5,000 (£4,340) donation. A "child guillotine" was suggested.
Another email said residents would turn a sandpit into "an ashtray".
PeWoBe runs nine migrant hostels in the German capital, catering for about 3,100 asylum seekers.
