SWISS
MAN
NABBED

LAOAG CITY, July 29–Stranger. Weird. Vagabond. These words sharply described the character of Swiss national Rene Mindhart Kurt, who was apprehended by Immigration agents here. When grilled, he spoke off-tangent, incoherent and non-sense when collared as he roamed around the city. He had no alien papers to show although BI records noted that he entered the country in 2007.

BILLY DIES

The blast, which occurred in a student dorm in Brgy. Manayon here, mutilated the frail body of Billy and wounded the aforesaid four, all students of Bangui Institute of Technology.
