...most of the 450 deaths and more than 1,000 injuries that Peru's Civil Defense Institute have so far reported. "We are coordinating an air bridge to bring the largest number of injured people to Lima and to avoid overrunning the hospitals in Ica," said President Alan Garcia in an address to the nation before traveling with cabinet ministers to the epicenter zone early Thursday to initiate relief efforts. He declared a 60-day state of emergency in Ica and the southern province of Canete...

Despite the concerns, Spanish government delegate to Ceuta Jenaro Garcia-Arreciado insists the city is safe. "Certainly we're closer to terrorist nuclei, but the threat isn't any greater here than on the mainland. And given all the security forces in Ceuta, we are, paradoxically, one of the safest cities in Spain." He points out that with the help of Morocco, which appoints Ceuta's imams, the city keeps radical messages out of Príncipe's mosques. But Yalila Liazid, director of the Sidi Embarek Koranic school and daughter of Ceuta's most important imam...
