At least 60 people have been crushed to death and some 250 injured during new year festivities in Ivory Coast's main city Abidjan, rescue officials say. The incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday near a stadium in the central Plateau area of the city where a fireworks display was held. The cause of the stampede is not yet clear. It occurred as people were heading home after the event. The victims included many children, and the death toll is expected to rise. The site - near Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium - is littered with abandoned clothes and blood stains. Relatives have gone there to get news of missing loved ones. The distraught mother of a nine-year-old boy told local media: "I have just seen all those bodies, but I can't find my son." The 65000-capacity Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium was named after the founding president of Ivory Coast. The night before the tragedy, it hosted a concert by US performer Chris Brown.

A suicide bomber driving a vehicle packed with explosives rammed into a bus carrying Shia Muslim pilgrims in south-west Pakistan on Sunday, killing 19 people, a government official and witnesses said. Earlier on Sunday, 21 tribal policemen believed to have been kidnapped by the Taliban were found shot dead in Pakistan's troubled north-west tribal region, government officials said. Pakistan has experienced a spike in killings over the past year by radical Sunni Muslims targeting Shias who they consider heretics. The violence has been especially pronounced in Baluchistan province, where the latest attack occurred. In addition to the 19 people killed in the bombing in Baluchistan's Mastung district, 25 others were wounded, many of them critically, said Tufail Ahmed, a local political official. The blast completely destroyed the bus that was hit and damaged a second bus carrying Shias that was close by. A witness who was travelling in the second bus told Pakistan's Geo TV the first bus contained over 40 pilgrims heading to neighbouring Iran, a popular religious tourism destination for Shias. A second witness said the bomber rushed by in a truck, swerved in front of the first bus and braked suddenly. The bus slammed into the truck and then a big explosion occurred. Shias make up around 15% of Pakistan's 190 million people. They are scattered around the country but the province of Baluchistan has the largest community, mainly made up of ethnic Hazaras, easily identified by ...

At least five Asian women have been the victims of assaults in what the New York City Police Department is calling a hate crime spree. All of the victims were attacked in lower Manhattan in and around the Baruch Houses. Surveillance video shows five teens entering the scene of one attack that happened on March 31 at the Gompers Houses at 90 Pitt Street. Two of the teens are female; three are male. In the most recent incident, a 68-year-old woman was assaulted on Tuesday in front of 247 East Broadway at about 11 pm Police say all of the victims have been Asian and between 50-71 years old. The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is looking for the attackers. Robbery does not appear to be a motive in the assaults. If you have any information on the attackers, you are urged to contact police:
