Police in Cyprus have arrested three men over the theft of the body of the former President Tassos Papadopoulos. The corpse had been stolen from its grave three months ago. On Monday night after a telephone tip-off, it was found in another cemetery.
There are still conflicting reports as to whether a ransom demand was made for the return of the body.
The authorities in Bolivia have rescued 19 children and teenagers who were thought to have been kidnapped in Haiti by human trafficking gangs. A state prosecutor told the BBC the children were now being looked after by the Bolivian government while a search continued for at least eight others. Adam Mynott reports.
The 19 children, who are now being looked after in a safe house in Santa Cruz, were in a party of 88 Haitians who entered Bolivia from Peru on tourist visas in January. It's not clear when they left Haiti, but one report indicates they set off on their journey which took them through the Dominican Republic, Panama and Peru two days before the earthquake which devastated large parts of Haiti on January 12th. Prosecuting authorities in Bolivia suspect the children were being trafficked for sexual exploitation, and three people have been arrested, two Haitians and a Bolivian.
Officials in the Democratic Republic of Congo have launched a scheme to reduce the number of illegal weapons in the east of the country by offering 50 dollars for each one that is handed in. But a BBC correspondent in Kinshasa says this campaign may prove counter-productive as the money gunner owners receive for their weapons would allow them to buy two more on the black market.
