Two German tourists stabbed to death in Egypt

Two German tourists have been stabbed to death in a suspected terror attack in Egypt.

Officials said the attacker, in his 20s, deliberately targeted foreign nationals.

Six tourists were stabbed in total, said officials.

The attack came hours after five policemen were shot to death in Cairo's twin city of Giza.

Mount Vesuvius: Mafia accused of starting Naples bushfire 'by setting cats alight'

'Three ignition points are too many to be the result of carelessness or combustion'

The Italian mafia has been accused of starting the major wildfires that have spread across the slopes of Mount Vesuvius near Naples, leading to scores of evacuations.

The burned corpses of cats have been found at the scene, according to Italian media reports, leading to speculation that arsonists may be involved. The mafia has previously been found to have used the animals to start fires, pouring petrol on them before setting them alight in order to spread fire throughout the undergrowth.

Last year it was revealed that the gangs had tied petrol-soaked rags to the tail of one and set it alight as it ran into Nebrodi regional park in Sicily.

Thomas Cook wins fake holiday illness case and warns of further action

A County Court judge has ordered a couple to pay court costs after they falsely claimed they had been taken ill on a Thomas Cook all-inclusive holiday.

Court rules state claimants are not at risk of paying costs even if they lose the case, unless it can be demonstrated to the court that they had been fundamentally dishonest.

The judge at Liverpool County Court yesterday concluded the couple, who hoped to sue Thomas Cook for £10,000, had indeed been 'fundamentally dishonest' and had not suffered any illness at all.

As such, the claimants were ordered to pay £3,744 within 28 days.

I hope the powers that be also go after the companies that cold call saying "We understand you have recently been on holiday" correct, " and that you went AI" incorrect "also that you were ill while you there" incorrect.
You can see how the greedy and gullible would get sucked into making a fraudulent claim.
