WORLD IN BRIEF
Cadbury samples
deemed unsafe
Hong Kong authorities say tests have showed the amount of melamine in Cadbury chocolate and cookies exceed a safe level for human consumption. The two contaminated samples announced yesterday by the Centre for Food Safety are among a list of 11 Chinese-made products being recalled in parts of Asia and the Pacific by Cadbury. The centre says samples of the brand's Dairy Milk Cookies, Chocolate and Dairy Milk Hazelnut Chocolate Bulk Pack have been found to contain melamine above the city's legal limit. Calls to Cadbury offices in London and Asia went unanswered yesterday. Cadbury has said preliminary tests showed traces of melamine in chocolates produced at its Beijing factory, but the exact level was not known.
Four shot dead at funeral in Iraq
Iraqi officials have said gunmen have fatally shot four people at a funeral in the northern city of Mosul. Police and medical officials said the gunmen wounded four other mourners when they opened fire in a funeral tent yesterday. They say the attack occurred in the Mosul neighbourhood of Zanjili. Insurgents are active in Zanjili, where four Iraqi employees of a television station were kidnapped and killed last month.
US Police Chief no interest in Met job
LOS Angeles Police Chief William Bratton says he has no interest in pursuing a job as London's top cop. The Sun newspaper published a story on Saturday saying Mr Bratton wants to replace Sir Ian Blair, who has resigned as Metropolitan Police Commissioner. But Mr Bratton, the former New York police commissioner who now is in his second term as Los Angeles chief, says a move to London is not going to happen. The Sun paid for Mr Bratton to travel to London to participate in a summit it organised on Britain's crime problems.
