ROME – Italian police on Saturday confirmed 11 people died when a glacier collapsed in the Alps in an incident being blamed on rising temperatures.

Rescue teams had feared a 12th person could have been killed, but now say there is no reason to believe the toll will be higher.

The Fassa Valley was holding a day of mourning to honour those who killed in the avalanche on Sunday on the Marmolada, which at more than 3,300 metres (10,830 feet) is the highest peak in the Dolomites, a range in the eastern Italian Alps straddling the regions of Trento and Veneto.

Much of Italy has been hit by an early-summer heatwave and scientists said climate change was making previously stable glaciers more unpredictable.

“We can say we have been very quick in completing our work and reaching a final tally of 11 deaths,” Giampietro Lago, the head of a scientific police unit drafted to help with the identification process, told a news conference.

BEIRUT – Syrian President Bashar al-Assad marked the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha on Saturday in Aleppo, his first visit to the northern city since his forces recaptured it in 2016 with help from Russia and other allied forces.

A statement by Syrian state news agency SANA said Assad performed Eid al-Adha prayers at the Ibn Abbas mosque alongside other top government officials.

In his remarks, Assad said he visited historic marketplaces and inaugurated a thermal power plant that is expected to generate 200 megawatts of electricity, according to SANA.

The city produced 1,000 megawatts of power before the fighting erupted there in 2012, one year into the uprising against Assad.

His forces recaptured the city in late 2016 with help from Russian warplanes and Iran-backed armed groups. Tehran then signed a deal to rehabilitate five power plants in Aleppo.

Much of the city’s infrastructure had been left in ruins by the fighting, which also ravaged the Old City – a UNESCO World Heritage site.

TOMS RIVER, NJ – Ocean County Commissioner Virginia Haines is still a Republican, but on Thursday night, the elder stateswoman was seen with a male subject emptying items from the Ocean County GOP Headquarters on Main Street in Toms River.

It’s unsure why Haines, who is an RNC Committeewoman would be emptying her belongings from the building, but told witnesses she was only taking personal property.

Haines was spotted along with an unknown elderly male bringing boxes and items out of the GOP county headquarters building late Thursday night.

The incident happened shortly after George Gilmore won the election to become the new Ocean County GOP Chairman, defeating Sheriff Michael Mastronardy.

The odd incident unfolded as Haines is still a candidate for re-election for county commissioner under the GOP banner. She is still a member of the Ocean County GOP and a candidate for office in 2022, according to the organization’s website and Facebook page.

Rumors that Haines removed the “G” keys on computer keyboards in the building were unfounded. New GOP Chairman George Gilmore refused to comment on the incident.

The incident was just one of many bizarre events that unfolded in the hours after the GOP county committee voted to oust leadership aligned with Frank B. Holman, Toms River Mayor Maurice Hill, and New Jersey Assemblyman Greg McGuckin.

The Ocean County GOP opened the Main Street headquarters in 2020. No police reports were filed in the incident.

Haines did not respond for comment on this story.

At 11:55 p.m. on July 9, 2012 the Linden Police were called to the 500 block of Hussa Street following reports of an argument and gunfire, said Daniel. When they arrived, officers discovered 18 –year-old Amber Duncan-Wilson dead at the scene from an apparent gunshot wound.

Members of the Task Force and Linden Police Department learned that Ms. Wilson was walking from a local Dunkin’ Donuts with a friend when she was approached and robbed. During the robbery, words were exchanged and the young woman, who had graduated Linden High School just days earlier, was shot.

Investigators continue to seek leads and ask for the public’s help in obtaining any information that could assist in solving this tragic case. Members of the public are urged to contact the Union County Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Task Force at 908-527-4500 or Linden Police Detective Sergeant Travis
