FOUR people have been arrested in Peru on suspicion of killing some 60 people to sell their fat and other human tissue to Italian co-conspirators for cosmetic use in Europe.

The suspects were arrested in central Peru this month and a search is under way for seven others - including two Italian citizens whose names were not revealed - lead prosecutor Jorge Sans Quiroz said.

The fat was purchased "to be commercialised in European (cosmetology) laboratories," he said.

New species of giant ancient crocodiles, one with boar-like tusks another with a duck-like snout, have been unearthed in the Sahara desert, experts announced today.

Palaeontologists say that the diverse array of fossils offers important clues to why the ancestors of modern crocodiles survived while dinosaurs underwent mass extinction.

The expedition that begun in 2000 found specimens of three new species, nicknamed BoarCroc, RatCroc and PancakeCroc. Many of the fossils were found lying on the surface of a remote, windswept stretch of rock and dunes.

PARIS — A deflected goal in Ireland and a handball in France were enough to help the French reach the World Cup, but Raymond Domenech’s team looks far from convincing and the coach even admitted it was “miraculous” to squeeze through.

France will be in South Africa next year in its fourth consecutive World Cup, but many questions remain whether Domenech’s team has what it takes there after being outplayed by Ireland in Wednesday’s 1-1 draw.

“It was difficult, arduous and sometimes miraculous,” Domenech said. “It was a victory by the skin of our teeth.”

SAN DIEGO - FBI officials say an elderly, thin, gray-haired man nicknamed the "Geezer Bandit" is responsible for holding up five San Diego-area banks since summer.

Investigators say the man appears to be in his 70s. Officials say that in the most recent robbery Monday, he approached a Bank of America teller in La Jolla, displayed a handgun and asked for cash. He fled on foot.

FBI spokesman Darrell Foxworth says investigators believe the man is also responsible for robbing four other San Diego County banks since Aug. 28.
