| In brief... Man questioned over woman's death A 21-year-old man is helping officers with their inquiries at Newport Central police station after the body of a 42-year-old woman was discovered in the bedroom of her Duffryn home. The body was found at around 1216 on Sunday 20 January. Gwent Police are treating the death as suspicious. A post mortem is to be carried out to establish how she died. ======================================= Search after 'mystery' car crash An air and ground search has been carried out near Welshpool in Powys after bloodstained clothing was found near a crashed car. The Peugeot 405 was discovered in a field close to the A458 at Cyfronydd but there was no trace of the occupants. The blood splattered clothing and a shoe were close by. The car was close to a flooded stream and police fear that someone may have been thrown into the water. A helicopter and tracker dogs have been used in the search but so far no one has been found. ======================================= Terror attacks 'cost 400,000 jobs Up to 400,000 jobs may have been lost throughout the global civil aviation industry as a result of the terror attacks in the US, according to a report from Cardiff Business School. Academics at Cardiff University have undertaken analysis of employment fall-out within the industry following the 11 September attacks in the US. The researchers at the University's Cardiff Business School conclude even more jobs would have been lost if redundancy and early retirement programmes were not so costly. Their report will be presented on Monday to a meeting of governments, employers and workers on civil aviation in Geneva, organised by the International Labour Organisation. "Airlines seem to be exploiting current difficulties to push through more radical cost-cutting programmes than is strictly warranted, often without proper consultation with the workforce," said the report author Professor Peter Turnbull. ======================================= Asylum seeker on assault charge An Algerian asylum seeker has appeared in court charged with attempted rape. Twenty-two-year-old Rafik Mansouri was remanded in custody at Flintshire magistrates court in Mold on Saturday. He is accused of trying to rape a young woman after following her in the early hours of Thursday morning. Mansouri, who is living in a government-provided property in Wrexham, followed the proceedings via an interpreter. He will appear before Wrexham magistrates on Wednesday. 21st January 2002 |
