Tanzanian AlbinoThe demand for albino body parts in Tanzania is spreading to neighbouring nations.

In the past two months three albinos have been murdered by criminal gangs in Burundi, which shares a border with Tanzania to the east. The latest victim is a six year old girl called Cizanye, a gang of men armed with rifles stormed the girls home and decapitated her with a machete, they then cut off her arms and legs and fled with the limbs.

Police believe the body parts will be sold to Witch Doctors in Tanzania where they will be made into lucky charms.

Despite efforts being made by the Tanzania Government to crack down on this barbarous crime, the number of gruesomely murdered albinos in Eastern Africa is still rising.

Daniel JamesThe trial of a former British Army interpreter, accused of spying for Iran, has taken another bizarre twist.

Daniel James, interpreter for top British general David Richards in Afghanistan, has already told the court that he is a salsa instructor and was once approached by television personality Jonathan Ross to dance on a Channel 4 show.

James told the court “Jonathan Ross came and approached me and said, ‘I want you to dance on a programme called Solid Soul’.”

He then traveled to London from his home in Brighton every Friday to appear on the Channel 4 programme.

The self proclaimed “King of Salsa” even offered to take his boss, General Richards, salsa dancing to teach him a few moves.

Today he told the Old Bailey hearing that he became a black magic priest after visiting Cuba and had performed a voodoo ceremony whilst serving in Afghanistan, designed to protect General Richards from the Taliban.

Iranian-born James is accused of passing top secret coded messages to the Iranian military attache in Kabul. He denies two Official Secrets Act charges, and misconduct in public office.
