Militias, hunters reprieved from post-Paris EU gun control Posted: 10 Mar 2016 03:55 PM PST By Alastair Macdonald BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Finnish volunteer militias on the Russian frontier, boar and elk hunters and the Swiss army's pensioner reserve won reprieve on Thursday from tighter European gun control following last year's Islamist attacks on Paris.

EU and French officials, who have pushed to block loopholes, stressed that after the return to the drafting table the new regulations were still on schedule to be agreed by governments in June before sending to EU lawmakers. |

Posted: 10 Mar 2016 02:48 PM PST AMBON, Indonesia (AP) — Five Thai fishing boat captains and three Indonesians were sentenced Thursday to three years in jail for human trafficking in connection with slavery in the seafood industry. The suspects were arrested in the remote island village of Benjina last May after the abuse was revealed by The Associated Press in a report two months earlier.
