A large explosion occurred at a wedding hall in the capital, authorities said.

KABUL, Afghanistan -- A large explosion targeting a religious gathering in Afghanistan's capital has killed at least 50 people and injured at least 72 others, the country's health ministry said.

The people had gathered on Tuesday at a wedding hall to celebrate the Prophet Muhammad's birthday, authorities said, and preliminary information shows the explosion may have been a suicide attack.

Religious clerics had invited members of the public to the event, and the number of people injured or killed in the blast could still rise, authorities added.

"The victims of the attack, unfortunately, are all religious scholars who gathered to commemorate the birthday of Prophet Muhammad," said Basir Mujahid, spokesman for the Kabul police chief, according to the Associated Press.

Police security had not been requested for the event, and the bomber entered the hall easily, Mujahid said, according to the AP.

There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack. The Taliban denied involvement.

Afghanistan's President Ashraf Ghani announced that a national day of mourning would take place Wednesday.

A grieving Wisconsin father has spoken out for the first time since the tragic death of his 6-month-old son, saying the 10-year-old girl accused of stomping on the toddler’s head is a “criminal” who deserves “to be in shackles."

A grieving Wisconsin father has spoken out for the first time since the tragic death of his 6-month-old son, saying the 10-year-old girl accused of stomping on the toddler's head is a "criminal" who deserves "to be in shackles."

The comments from Nate Liedl come after he appeared in adult court last week to watch a judge set a bond of $50,000 for the girl, who is facing a first-degree intentional homicide charge. Police say the girl confessed to picking up and then dropping Jaxon Liedl at a day care center in Tilden on Oct. 30, before stomping on the baby's head in an attempt to make him stop crying. Jaxon died two days later from the injuries he suffered.

"As opposed to seeing it as a 10-year-old girl, I saw it as the person who killed my son," Nate Liedl told KTRK. "And she, in my opinion, deserved to be in shackles or handcuffs. She's a criminal."
WISCONSIN GIRL, 10, STOMPED ON 6-MONTH-OLD'S HEAD AT RUN BY FOSTER PARENTS, OFFICIALS SAY
Handcuffed and wearing a leather restraint around her waist, the girl sobbed during her appearance in Chippewa County Circuit Court. State law requires the case, at least initially, to be held in adult court, prosecutors said.

First responders who arrived at the licensed home day care say they found Jaxon unresponsive and bleeding from the head. The baby was rushed to one hospital, then airlifted to another.

"I had sent a couple messages out to family to let them know that Jaxon's not going to make it. I remember, I broke down out there pretty bad. Yeah, it really hit hard," Liedl told KTRK.

Chippewa County Sheriff James Kowalczyk said a doctor who tended to the infant called his office to inform investigators that it was his belief the baby's injuries were not an accident. Investigators interviewed four people at the home and the girl, who lives with foster parents at the house, "confessed to her involvement in the situation," Kowalczyk said.

According to the sheriff, the girl said she dropped the infant, hitting his head on a footstool and causing the baby to cry. The girl told investigators that she panicked and stomped on the child's head, Kowalczyk said.

The girl's biological parents appeared with her in court - and she is expected to return on Dec. 11. Authorities said she had been removed from their home in September and placed in foster care, but the reasons for her removal have not been disclosed.

Nate Liedl described Jaxon as a boy who had "happy smiles all the time" - and rarely fussed or cried.

In the time before Jaxon's death, the father reportedly had been locked in a custody battle over the child.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
"Missing out on those first three months was hard enough. And then, to be granted only eight hours after that, I feel like they essentially robbed me of time with Jaxon," he said in an interview with KTRK. "Now I'm not going to be able to get any of it back. If it helps one father get more time with their child, then that's good."

Authorities in Spain say one person has died and six have been slightly injured after a landslide derailed a commuter train traveling toward Barcelona.

The regional civil protection agency says two train cars of a convoy of six went off the tracks at 6.15 a.m. Tuesday (0515 GMT) near Vacarisses, some 45 kilometers northwest of Barcelona.

Spanish railway operator spokesman Antonio Carmona has told local media that heavy rain in the area over the past few days could have caused the landslide.

Around 150 people were traveling on the train, according to the civil protection agency.

Firefighters and emergency workers are working to evacuate the trapped commuters.

A 16 year old girl was auctioned for her hand in marriage on Facebook. The post was taken down after 15 days, but the marriage had already taken place. The father received 500 cows, 3 cars, and $10,000 in the auction.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Editor's Note: This story has been updated and further details added about the role of Facebook in the auction based on new reporting and information.

Facebook has come under fire after posts discussing the sale of a child bride were made and shared on its site.

An auction was discussed on the social media platform for a girl aged 16 or 17 in South Sudan that sought payment for her hand in marriage.

Facebook said the post was taken down as soon as the company learned of it, but that wasn't until after the girl involved was married.

According to children's rights organization Plan International, the girl was bid on by five men, some of whom were reportedly high-ranking South Sudanese government officials.

Activists are concerned that this auction - for which the father reportedly received 500 cows, three cars and $10,000 in exchange for his daughter - could inspire other families to use social media sites to receive larger payments.

Plan International's country director in South Sudan, George Otim, said: "That a girl could be sold for marriage on the world's biggest social networking site in this day and age is beyond belief."

He added: "This barbaric use of technology is reminiscent of latter-day slave markets."

'It just went viral'

South Sudanese human rights lawyer Phillips Ngong told CNN the auction took place in person and not on Facebook.

Ngong said the family had no intention of posting to Facebook, but the dowry amount pledged for her was higher than usual and generated a lot of discussion among Facebook members.

"In South Sudan, Facebook and social media is a brand new thing. Someone just took a picture. And it just went viral," he added.

Though Facebook said the post was taken down on November 9, posts discussing the dowry were still live on Friday, November 23.

These posts discussed the price being offered for the girl by the highest bidder, as well as how much Facebook users would offer for her. CNN has flagged these two live posts to Facebook, which has yet to issue comment.

The man who won the bidding for the teenager, businessman Kok Alat, did not find out about the girl through Facebook, Ngong said. CNN has reached out to Kok Alat as well as the girl's family for comment.

But the marriage of the girl is still egregious, Ngong said, particularly as a state government official is believed to be among the bidders. Ngong said it was a direct violation of child marriage laws by those in power: "Anything that happens that is not in the best interest of the child is a violation. And the constitution and child laws are very clear on that."

South Sudan's Constitution states that marriage requires the "free and full consent" of those intending to marry. A child is defined as anyone under the age of 18, according to the country's Child Act, 2008, which adds that "every child has the right to be protected from early marriage."

Removed from Facebook

Facebook said in a statement to CNN that any form of "human trafficking - whether posts, pages, ads or groups is not allowed on Facebook."

"We removed the post and permanently disabled the account belonging to the person who posted this to Facebook," a company spokesperson said in a statement.

"We're always improving the methods we use to identify content that breaks our policies, including doubling our safety and security team to more than 30,000 and investing in technology," the spokesperson added.

Otim from Plan International told CNN that offering payments is part of the country's culture, but that in this case it "was taken to another level because of technology."

The South Sudanese National Alliance for Women Lawyers (NAWL) told CNN that the auction was not posted by her family, but by someone from the community instead, and that the family benefited from the bidding war.

"A few of our colleagues were able to get in touch with the mother (of the bride) and she was not happy about it," said Suzy Natana, a lawyer at NAWL.

She added that the marriage took place on November 3, 2018, according to locals the association spoke with.

Natana said that this is the highest bride price that has been reported in the region. She added that NAWL is against the process of bidding because "it makes you more of a commodity instead of a human being."

An organization focused on gender equality, Equality Now, called on Facebook to improve its monitoring practices.

"Violations against women in South Sudan are a continuing issue, but for Facebook to allow their platform to enhance these violations is a problem," said Judy Gitau, Equality Now's regional coordinator for Africa.

She told CNN that Facebook has a responsibility to uphold women's rights, and added: "They ought to put in place more human resources to monitor their platform to ensure that women's rights, and indeed the rights of all people, are protected."

Call on government to investigate officials

Plan International has also called on the South Sudanese government to investigate and suspend any officials involved in the bridal auction.

"Child marriage is a serious violation of human rights and a form of violence against girls," Otim from the group said in a statement.

"It can have profound consequences on a child's survival, health, education, development and well-being and is often carried out against their will and best interests."

Otim told CNN the solution for preventing child marriages is to try to keep girls in school, but admits it "requires a lot of effort to change" the culture.

According to UNICEF's November 2017 figures, 52% of girls in South Sudan are married before they turn 18.

The United Nations' agency, which aids the world's needy children, says that the country's high levels of poverty, instability and gender gap fuel child marriage - with both girls and their families feeling it can help them escape poverty.

A Texas father was charged on Monday with child abandonment six months after police say his 6-year-old daughter strangled her 1-year-old brother to death in the back seat of the car while he was thrift shopping, The Houston Chronicle reported.

Adrian Deshaun Middleton, 26, allegedly told authorities he left his two children in the car while he browsed a thrift shop near Houston.

When Middleton returned, his daughter was crying and said she'd done "something bad," according to court documents. Middleton found his son unresponsive with a seat belt wrapped around his neck.

Middleton called 911 and tried to perform CPR while awaiting paramedics. His son was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, The Chronicle reported. The boy's death was ruled homicide by strangulation.

Middleton's daughter told authorities she had wrapped the seatbelt around her brother's neck because he wouldn't stop crying, court records said. She allegedly said she thought he had fallen asleep.

Middleton told authorities he had given his kids snacks, put on a movie, and left the air conditioner running while he went shopping. He said he occasionally "peeked out of the store window to check on them."

Surveillance footage cited by court documents indicated Middleton had stayed an hour longer than what he originally told authorities and did not check on his children, The Dallas Morning News reported.

Middleton was charged Monday with abandoning a child under 15.

The port of entry in San Ysidro, California was closed briefly after immigration authorities said they had received reports that members of a migrant "caravan" were gathering in Tijuana and planning to "rush" the border. This turned out to be a false alarm and very inconvenient on the nations busiest border crossing.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The port of entry in San Ysidro, California, was briefly closed early Monday after immigration authorities said they had received reports that members of a migrant "caravan" were gathering in Tijuana and planning to "rush" the border.

Customs and Border Patrol said the northbound lanes at the nation's busiest border crossing were closed and with the military's help "port hardening materials" quickly installed, including "jersey barriers and concertina wire, to prepare for the potential arrival of thousands of people migrating in a caravan heading towards the border of the United States."

But it turned out to be a false alarm -- the CPB said no migrants never came.

Adrees Latif/Reuters

On Monday afternoon, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen tweeted out photos of CPB officers in riot gear as well as the barbed wire and barriers citing the reports about plans to "rush" the border.

.@CBP and @DeptofDefense appropriately responded by blocking the lanes, deploying additional personnel and seeking assistance from other law enforcement and federal assets. #CBP has reopened lanes for legitimate trade and travel. I want to thank them for their swift actions. pic.twitter.com/eJVVuAs0w6
- Sec. Kirstjen Nielsen (@SecNielsen) November 19, 2018

According to a DHS official, the concern prompted a suspension of the port for three hours in order to get more CBP personnel in the area.

"CBP will not allow for the unlawful entry of persons into the United States, at or between our ports of entry," said Pete Flores, Director of Field Operations in San Diego. "Waiting until a large group of persons mass at the border to attempt an illegal crossing is too late for us; we need to be prepared prior to when they arrive at the border crossing."

According to a DHS official, the San Ysidro facility can hold only up to 300 people.

Officials said they are also limited if they need to deal with rival gang members in custody or unaccompanied minors.

The main concern was safety for their personnel, that DHS official said.

DHS claims the department has identified more than "500 criminals" in the caravan.

"Most of the caravan are not women and children," an official said, adding that most are men and male teenagers trying to enter the country.

What we saw on Monday night during that intense, ridiculous, scoreboard-spinning, all-time classic, Hollywood production of a touchdown-spasm football game that had us all glued to our seats, wasn't just maybe the best regular season NFL game ever, it was a glimpse at the future.

It was entertaining and jaw-dropping. It was skilled and gorgeous. It was a brawl, it was a high-wire production. It was physical but also wide open. It was literally everything.

Rams 54 Chiefs 51...butterflies 1 billion.

And at the center of it were two quarterbacks who are likely to define the league for years to come, the Rams' Jared Goff and the Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes.

The numbers are staggering. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was 33 of 46 for 478 yards, 6 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. The Rams' Jared Goff was 31 of 49 for 413 yards and 4 touchdowns. Receiver Tyreek Hill had 215 receiving yards and two scores.

ESPN Stats & Info noted this was the first game in NFL history in which each team scored at least 50 points. The 105 combined points is the third most in any game in NFL history. Mahomes' six touchdown passes were the most in Monday Night Football history.

This was a video game wrapped in a dream sealed inside Madden.
Marcio Jose Sanchez/Associated Press
"Unbelievable," Goff told ESPN after the game, "four quarters of craziness."

And at the center were Goff and Mahomes. They made mistakes, sure. Mahomes was strip-sacked twice and Goff made some errant throws, but they were so good, and so explosive, it's hard not to see that what they did Monday is what quarterbacking in the NFL will look like in the future.

They also represent, for better or worse, what quarterbacking will look like from now on. Especially when you have the athleticism, accuracy and mental acumen both of those players represent.

Not only did Goff and Mahomes demonstrate an evolution in how their position will be played, so, too, did the style of play Monday night represent what the game will look like. Defenses will make a stop two (when you have Aaron Donald, maybe three or four or five or six) but offense, lots and lots of offense, is the 21st century NFL.

Wide open schemes, quick playmakers like Tyreek Hill, creative and aggressive play-calling from two innovators in Andy Reid and Sean McVay, rule changes that make it tougher for defenses to be consistently threatening, all commanded by skilled point guards like Goff and Mahomes.

Back and forth, forth and back--there were six lead changes and four in the fourth quarter alone. Track meets and warp speed. That is football and we can all expect to see Mahomes and Goff do this over and over.

NFL @NFL
The @Cheetah is left WIDE OPEN and @PatrickMahomes5 launches it for the 73-yard TD! #ChiefsKingdom 📺: #KCvsLAR on ESPN https://t.co/CAVnnNwa3K

Well, not like this. But you understand.

Monday's game, the third-highest scoring in league history, will be talked about for years, maybe decades, and at the core will be how Goff and Mahomes kept fighting and scoring. So many times Goff hit deep passes in stride, same with Mahomes. So many times they hit the perfect throw. Play after play, series after series.

Just when you thought Goff was done, he'd come back. Just when you thought Mahomes was done, he'd come back.

Some will hate this new NFL. They will sit on their lawns and talk about the good ol' days, in the 2000s, when teams only combined to score 40 a game.

They will hate this mostly defenseless new league. They will hate that quarterbacks are tossing touchdowns with ease.

But they will have to accept it. This is the future. Wide open play. Bold strategies. Offensive slugfests. Points, lots of points.

The future started Monday night, just ask Patrick Mahomes and Jared Goff.

The suspect in the Monday night shooting was identified by Chicago police as Juan Lopez, 32, who also died in the shooting. It was not immediately clear if Lopez was killed in a gunfight inside the hospital with police officers, or if he took his own life, authorities said.

Gunfire broke out about 3:30 p.m. in the parking lot of Mercy Hospital and Medical Center in the city's Bronzeville District and continued inside the hospital with police trading shots with the gunman, officials said.

"This tears at the soul of our city," Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said at a news conference Monday night. "It's the face and consequence of evil."

The shooting began as a verbal altercation between Lopez and a woman near Michigan Avenue outside of the Mercy Hospital, Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson told reporters Monday evening.

After the woman's friend tried to intervene, Lopez allegedly lifted up his shirt, showing that he was armed, Johnson said.

The friend fled into the hospital and the gunman fired at the woman he was fighting with in the parking lot, killing her, Johnson said. The couple were in a domestic relationship and the woman was an employee at the hospital.

Police responded to the scene and observed the suspect with a handgun, who fired multiple shots at the officers before they could exit their cars, after which officers chased him into the hospital, Johnson said.

Officers then exchanged gunfire with the suspect inside the hospital. A female staff member inside an elevator and a police officer struck by gunfire were both killed.

Those killed in the shooting were identified by authorities as Dr. Tamara O'Neal, a 38-year-old emergency room doctor; Dayna Less, 25, a recent graduate of Purdue University and a pharmacy resident in training; and Chicago Police Officer Samuel Jimenez, 28, who suffered fatal gunshot wounds as soon as he arrived on scene.

"The City of Chicago lost a doctor, pharmaceutical assistant and a police officer, all going about their day, all doing what they love," Emanuel said.

The emergency room at the hospital is expected to be closed on Tuesday.

"A hospital should be a safe place," Dr. Patrick Connor, the emergency department director at Mercy, said during the Monday night news conference. "Every shooting in America is a tragedy -- it is a national tragedy. And it is especially senseless when a shooting occurs in a healing space of a hospital."

The hospital had its first active-shooter drill three or four weeks ago, said Michael Davenport, the chief medical officer.

"We never thought we would have to experience what we had," Davenport said. "Everyone did what they were trained to do."

About 200 patients were being cared for at the time of the shooting, he added. Everyone from the emergency room was relocated.

Jimenez's police colleagues were mourning his death. Officers stood at attention and saluted Monday night as the body of Jimenez, the married father of three children, was removed from the hospital and taken to the medical examiner's office.

Anthony Guglielmi, chief communications officer for the Chicago Police Department, described the deadly attack as a "senseless active shooter incident."

Jimenez "saved a lot of lives," Johnson said in a Twitter post, adding that the suspect "was just shooting" and they "just don't know how much damage he was prepared to do."

"Today, the Fraternal Order of Police lost a valued brother -- a courageous police officer who got up this morning, went to work and wanted to protect the city of Chicago," said Kevin Graham, president of Chicago chapter of the police union. "He did that today, and he did so with his life."

Law enforcement swarmed the scene near the hospital after shots were fired near 26th Street and Michigan Avenue, Guglielmi said.

Rams and Chiefs combined for a score of 105 points last night. Rams took the W in a 54-51 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. This was the highest scoring game in Monday Night Football history.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A game that Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff fittingly called "four quarters of craziness" earned multiple entries in the NFL record book as the Rams won an epic battle with the Kansas City Chiefs 54-51.

The highest-scoring game in Monday Night Football history saw a back-and-forth battle that ended with the Chiefs becoming the first team in NFL history to score 50 or more points and lose.

The 105 combined points -- which blew past the lofty over-under of 64 set by sportsbooks -- was the third-highest total ever for an NFL game, surpassed only by the Washington Redskins over the New York Giants 72-41 in 1966, and the Cincinnati Bengals over the Cleveland Browns 58-48 in 2004.

In a game that was supposed to be all about offense, the Rams and Chiefs combined for three defensive touchdowns on Monday Night Football, led by outside linebacker Samson Ebukam's fumble recovery and interception, both returned for TDs, for L.A.

Patrick Mahomes threw for a career-high 478 yards and a Monday Night Football record six touchdowns, but he lost two fumbles and threw three INTs.

Chiefs stud Kareem Hunt has seven receiving touchdowns and seven rushing touchdowns -- a feat not achieved since Lenny Moore did so 57 years ago in 1961.

"It was a whirlwind," said Rams coach Sean McVay. "I feel like I might need a couple beverages to relax tonight. But it was great. This is what you love so much about the game.''

Among other notable numbers:

-- It was the fourth time this season a team lost when scoring 40 or more points, the most such instances in a season in the Super Bowl era.

-- Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes became the first to throw six TD passes in a Monday night game.

-- Goff threw for 413 yards and had a QB rating of 117.1, but Mahomes topped him with 478 yards and a 117.6 rating.

-- Mahomes is the first player with five passing touchdowns and five turnovers in a game since Gus Frerotte in 2000.

-- The Chiefs are averaging more points per game in losses (45.5) than in wins (34.8) this season.

-- Rams LB Samson Ebukam is the first player since sacks became official in 1982 to record a sack, interception and multiple touchdowns in a single game.

-- Rams TE Gerald Everett was an unlikely hero, scoring the Rams' final two touchdowns, with all three of his catches coming in the fourth quarter. He had had only three fourth-quarter catches in his first 26 career games.

-- Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill topped all receivers with 215 yards (two TDs), becoming the first KC player with a 200-yard receiving game since Stephone Paige on Sep. 17, 1990.

-- There were 14 combined touchdowns in this game. The Buffalo Bills have scored 13 touchdowns all season.

After heavy winter storms caused traffic delays and school transportation issues, a mother of a special needs child decided to go great lengths to get him off the bus. Christina Christine originally left her house at 6 pm after receiving a call from her child John's school saying that they were stuck in traffic and hadn't budgeted for hours. Christine waited until 1 am in traffic until she finally parked her car along the sidewalk and began walking towards the bus. Since there was a police station nearby, Christine picked up her son and headed there to warm up. Neither of them got home until around 4 am.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A special-needs Bronx boy spent 12 hellish hours on a city school bus during Thursday's frozen fiasco - until his desperate mother finally reached him after a nine-hour trek by car and foot, she told The Post.

Frantic Christina Christie eventually ditched her vehicle and marched a final 20 blocks through the driving sleet to reach her shaken 5-year-old.

"It was just sheer desperation at that point," she said. "I was going to be that crazy mom."

Christie initially jumped in her car around 6 p.m., when a bus matron told her John and six other kids were stuck on the Harlem River Drive and hadn't budged for hours.

The distraught students were all from the Cook School in the East Village, a private institution for special-needs kids.

"I just wanted to get to him," said Christie, who left her Midtown job to launch the pursuit. "I was getting really concerned."

But faced with one paralyzed intersection after another, it would be hours before she got to John. Christie finally inched within striking distance of the bus after it reached the Bronx well after 1 a.m. But when she ran into yet another wall of traffic, Christie hit her limit.

She drove her car up onto a sidewalk, locked it and trudged through the snow to reach the bus. That frigid final leg of her trek would last more than an hour.

There were so many battered and disabled yellow school buses littering the area that Christie had the driver flash his lights to identify himself.

"I knew there was a police precinct a few blocks away," she said. "We needed to warm up and calm down, so we headed over there."

An empathetic officer eventually gave them a ride back to their car, and they finally collapsed into bed after 4 a.m.

Christie said she was stunned by the lack of clear communication throughout the night at every level. "It just felt like no one was paying attention," she said.

Another student on the Department of Education bus, Skye Stone, was forced to urinate in a plastic bag during the ordeal and was finally dropped off to her mother's house at 3:45 a.m.

The 14-year-old special-needs student called her mom and said her bus wasn't moving.

"I heard nothing but crying and screaming on the phone when she called me," said Carla Pratt, of The Bronx.

Pratt said she understood that the weather was unpredictable but ripped the lack of clear correspondence with anxiety-ridden parents.

The mom said she made about 50 phone calls throughout the course of the night and early morning, with many of them coming during her own multi-hour commute home.

"The bus matron refused to let me know what was happening," she said. "This was a crisis. There was no empathy for these kids, no humanity."

Pratt said the kids not only had to deal with bursting bladders - but growling stomachs.

She said the matron and driver refused to halt for a quick fast-food meal even as the marathon trek extended well past midnight.

"They just didn't handle this well," she said, adding that the matron told kids she would lose her job if they urinated on the bus.

Yet another irate mom with a child on the bus, Shamone Rice, said her distressed husband trudged through the snow and plucked him off around 3 a.m. before finally getting him home.

"This was extremely traumatic," she said. "These are special-needs kids. My son was distraught."

A Thai court on Tuesday sentenced three people to prison over the smuggling of nearly two dozen rhinoceros horns from Ethiopia worth $1.5 million.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Thai court on Tuesday sentenced three people to prison over the smuggling of nearly two dozen rhinoceros horns from Ethiopia worth $1.5 million.

The bags carrying the 21 horns were discovered in March last year in a random customs search at Bangkok's main airport. Officials found the horns, weighing almost 50 kilograms (110 pounds), inside luggage originating from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital.

A court in central Thailand handed four-year prison sentences to two Thai women who attempted to claim the luggage before they fled as officers searched their bags, and a public prosecutor who tried to convince airport security to not check the bags.

A court statement said Worapas Boonsri, a former public prosecutor, told officials at the airport that the luggage contained wine and he asked airport security to not to check it. He also resisted later attempts by officials to open the luggage and suggested that it be placed back on the airport's conveyor belt so it could be declared as luggage with no owner while he also offered bribes to officials, the statement said.

His actions revealed that he knew what was inside the bag, it said.

The three were convicted of smuggling restricted items into the country and evading customs taxes.

Rhinoceros horns, blood, skin and urine are in high demand across Asia for their use in traditional Chinese medicine. Demand for the products has soared in Asia, particularly Vietnam, where they are considered a luxury item, according to the wildlife trade monitoring network TRAFFIC.

Tumblr was removed from the app store because it failed to filter child pornography.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text

The popular blogging platform Tumblr vanished from Apple's App Store for a reason it didn't reveal for days: Child pornography slipped past its filter.

Tumblr acknowledged Monday night that a "routine audit" uncovered the graphic images that led to its app's abrupt takedown last week. The reason for the takedown didn't come out until Download.com, which is part of our partner site CNET, presented evidence from independent sources that child porn was the reason the app was pulled.

Tumblr's app disappeared from the App Store last week without explanation from either Tumblr or Apple. An initial statement posted on Tumblr's help center November 16 said, "Our team is still working to resolve the issue with the iOS app. Thanks for hanging tight while we work on this." Three days later, Tumblr said in another note, "We continue to work to restore our app to the iOS App Store."

After being reached by Download.com, Tumblr explained what really happened.

"Every image uploaded to Tumblr is scanned against an industry database of known child sexual abuse material, and images that are detected never reach the platform," Tumblr said in a new statement posted Monday. "A routine audit discovered content on our platform that had not yet been included in the industry database. We immediately removed this content. Content safeguards are a challenging aspect of operating scaled platforms. We're continuously assessing further steps we can take to improve and there is no higher priority for our team."

Tumblr, which is owned by the Verizon subsidiary Oath, added that it has "a zero tolerance policy when it comes to media featuring child sexual exploitation and abuse," and that it works with groups like the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to monitor this "industry-wide problem."

It's unclear what the illegal content was or how it is now being investigated. Download.com reported that Apple and Tumblr likely kept the removal private because of coordination with law enforcement.

The app remains unavailable in the App Store as of Tuesday morning.

In the past two years, Tumblr ran into problems with the South Korean and Indonesian governments over pornographic content that appeared on the platform, Download.com reported. Tumblr said it would improve its monitoring for such content.
