In brief: From Wire Reports:
Syrian government planes bomb olive oil factory
Beirut – Syrian warplanes bombed an olive oil factory packed with farmers Tuesday, killing at least 20 people in the latest regime strike to rip through a crowd of civilians, activists said.
It was not immediately clear whether the olive press was the intended target, or if the plane misfired. The government generally does not comment on rebel claims and there was no official reaction to the latest allegations.
Stabbing may have been in self-defense
Police say a stabbing that killed a man Saturday may be a case of self-defense.
No arrests have been made in the death of 25-year-old Robert H. Fletcher, who died of multiple stab wounds after an incident near the corner of Nelson Street and Wabash Avenue, according to the Spokane County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Spokane Police spokeswoman Jennifer DeRuwe described Fletcher as a felon with an extensive criminal record.
One case put Fletcher in the midst of a 2007 money-for-sex extortion case.
State Rep. Richard Curtis, who was a Vancouver Republican, had a sexual encounter with a part-time male porn model during a taxpayer-sponsored trip to Spokane. The scandal eventually led to his resignation.
Fletcher was accused of picking up extortion money from Curtis at the Davenport Tower in exchange for sharing the cash with the model.
