STORYLINE
Soldiers began a clean up operation in Chile's earthquake-stricken south as the government faced an ravaged infrastructure lifeline for Chile's important fish and wine sectors.
The tsunami that hit coastal cities sent 50-ton fishing boats crashing onto land and demolished ports in the southern Chile - wiping out the 40 (b) million US dollar business that courses through the local economy from the annual anchovy and sardine catch.
Most of Talcahuano was destroyed by Saturday's magnitude-8.8 quake and tsunami, which ravaged a 700-kilometre (435-mile) stretch of Chile's Pacific coast.
Chile's Chief Admiral Edmundo Gonzalez said on Tuesday the Navy shared responsibility for deaths as the result of the tsunami in Talcahuano's port city after residents who ran to the hills returned to their homes when the alert was lifted only to be hit by a massive wave.
Downed bridges and damaged or debris-strewn highways made transit difficult if not impossible in many areas.
In the earthquake-ravaged city of Constitucion, residents were trying to salvage any goods from shops as supplies still remained low.
Some 14-thousand troops have been sent to the region to amid pleas for calm from Chile's president after days of looting.
In Dichato, army helicopters arrived to deliver supplies to one of the hard hit fishing villages.
The official death toll reached 799 on Wednesday.
Chilean President Michelle Bachelet said that that over one and a half (m) million homes were damaged, 500-thousand of them severely.
Speaking in a nationally televised addressed, Bachelet assured Chileans that basic services would soon be up and running.
She insisted there were no supply shortages and urged for calm.
The Chilean leader also said petrol would be made available shortly.
In Conception, rescue workers continued their search and rescue operation at an apartment building.
They were able to penetrate deeper in to the building using heavier machinery. It was not clear whether there were still survivors.
Meanwhile, a strong aftershock provoked a brief panic in Concepcion, but no tsunami warning was issued and no injuries or damage have been reported.
A US Embassy official said there were 700 to 1200 Americans thought to be in the area.
Paul Watzlavick told reporters they would be operating out of Concepcion to locate Americans.
Latest footage from Lota, a former coal mining town of 30-thousand along the heavily damaged coast showed streets lined with rubble from wrecked buildings.
Chile's horrendously destructive quake doesn't have a price tag on it yet, though Bachelet mentioned a 30 (b) billion US dollar estimate when she met Tuesday with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who delivered 25 satellite phones as part of disaster assistance.

STORYLINE
A pair of aftershocks only six seconds apart provoked a brief panic among citizens in Chile on Wednesday, but no tsunami warning was issued and no injuries or damage have been reported.
The rumour of a tsunami warning, that later proved to be a false alert, spread fast among locals and journalists.
Some residents of Concepcion started running for high ground when an aftershock to Saturday's destructive earthquake was followed just six seconds later by another.
The US Geological Survey says Wednesday's temblors had preliminary magnitudes of 5.9 and 6.0, respectively.
The 6.0 jolt was the strongest measured since Sunday.
Fire officials used loudspeakers to assure residents that no tsunami was imminent.
Concepcion was badly damaged by Saturday's magnitude-8.8 quake.

STORYLINE
A string of three deadly suicide bombings killed 30 people and injured dozens more in the Iraqi city of Baqouba on Wednesday, police said.
The bombings come as Iraq is preparing for parliamentary elections on March 7.
The election will decide who will oversee the country as US forces pull out and help determine whether Iraq can overcome the deep sectarian tensions that have divided the nation since the 2003 US-led invasion.
The blasts struck in quick succession in the former insurgent stronghold of Baqouba, 35 miles (60 kilometres) northeast of Baghdad, said a police spokesman.
He said 48 people were wounded.
First, a suicide car bomb targeted a local government housing office next to an Iraqi Army facility.
Within minutes, another suicide bomber blew up a vehicle about 200 yards (183 metres) down the street from the first blast at an intersection near the provincial government headquarters, where many police and army personnel were located, the spokesman said.
The second blast also damaged a building belonging to the National Reform Trend, a Shiite political party led by former Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari.
A third suicide bomber, wearing an explosives vest, rode in an ambulance with the wounded to the city's emergency hospital and blew himself up as rescuers and victims from the first two blasts were being rushed in for treatment, he added.
Most of the victims came from the blast at the hospital, the spokesman said.
Police later safely detonated a fourth car bomb about 220 yards (200 metres) from the hospital.
US and Iraqi officials have warned repeatedly that insurgents were expected to launch such attacks in an attempt to disrupt the election.
The bombings could also affect the candidacy of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who came to power in 2006 and oversaw a return to relative stability in 2008 and 2009.
Al-Maliki has continued to bill himself as the best candidate to assure security in Iraq.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the bombings.
Police said they arrested four suspects and imposed an open-ended curfew on the city as they search for more suspects.
Wednesday's bombings were the deadliest since the start of February, when a female suicide bomber killed 54 people when she detonated her explosives inside a way station for Shiite pilgrims.
Baqouba is a mixed Shiite-Sunni city and the capital of Diyala province.
Both the city and the province have been flashpoints of the insurgency, although they have quietened down since the height of the violence in 2006 and 2007.

As you can appreciate, the volume of the information is huge. This ('botnet') was also used to steal passwords from corporate websites and also e-mail passwords.

"The Internet is very positive but it does have potential risks. We have been lucky that this 'botnet' of 13 million computers was in the hands of people who didn't realise its full potential. We have been lucky."
13. Wide news conference
STORYLINE:
Authorities in Spain have smashed one of the world's biggest networks of virus-infected computers, a data vacuum that stole credit cards and online banking credentials from as many as 12.7 million poisoned personal computers (PCs), Spanish police said on Wednesday.
The botnet of infected computers included PCs inside more than half of the Fortune 1,000 companies and more than 40 major banks, according to investigators.
Spanish investigators, working with private computer-security firms, have arrested the three alleged ringleaders of the so-called Mariposa botnet, which appeared in December 2008 and grew into one of the biggest weapons of cybercrime.
More arrests are expected soon in other countries.
The Spanish Guardia Civil (Civil Guard) held a news conference on Wednesday in Madrid, where they gave more details of their investigation.
Commander Juan Salon, head of the Guard's cybercrime unit, said the first person arrested had around 800-thousand sets of electronic bank details and personal e-mail data in his computer.
"That indicates that, in the servers, which is where all the information is sent, there must be millions of data. All that still needs to be analysed," Salon said, adding that the system was used to steal passwords from web sites and email accounts.
The arrests are significant because the masterminds behind the biggest botnets aren't often arrested, and the suspects go against the stereotype of genius programmers often associated with cyber crime.
Salon added that investigators were on the trail of another suspect, possibly a Venezuelan, after investigators learned the suspect's Internet handle.
Three young Spaniards were arrested last month as part of the same international investigation that led to the dismantling of a botnet that affected nearly 13 million PCs. These included computers inside more than half of the Fortune 1,000 companies and more than 40 major banks.
Lieutenant Colonel Jose Antonio Berrocal, head of the Guard's technological crime unit, said that government websites, legal organisations, and big corporate companies, as well as private users, were among those whose data was found stored, but added that it "does not mean we have to panic; we must avoid dramatic scenarios."
"If there is an infected computer in a particular business, this doesn't mean that the affected information is in danger. If there is personal information of a family it doesn't mean that access by that family to its bank account is in danger," he said.
The suspects weren't brilliant hackers but had underworld contacts who helped them build and operate the botnet, according to the Guardia Civil.
Investigators were examining bank records and seized computers to determine how much money the criminals made.
The three suspects were described as Spanish citizens with no criminal records. They weren't named and their photos weren't released, which is standard procedure in Spain to protect the privacy of defendants. They face up to six years in prison if convicted of hacking charges.
Authorities identified them by their Internet handles and their ages: "netkairo," 31; "jonyloleante," 30; and "ostiator," 25.
Botnets are networks of infected PCs that have been hijacked from their owners, often without their knowledge, and put into the control of criminals.
Linked together, the machines supply an enormous amount of computing power to spammers, identity thieves, and Internet attackers.
The Mariposa botnet, which has been dismantled, was easily one of the world's biggest. It spread to more than 190 countries, according to researchers.
The researchers that helped take down Mariposa first started looking at it in the spring of 2009.
The investigators caught a few lucky breaks. For one, the suspects used Internet services that wound up cooperating with investigators. That isn't always the case.
Critically, one suspect also made direct connections from his own computer to try and reclaim control of his botnet after authorities took it down around Christmas.
Investigators were able to identify him based on that traffic. They were able to back up their claims with records from domains he registered where he would eventually host malicious content.
"We have been lucky that this botnet of 13 million computers was in the hands of people who didn't realise its full potential. We have been lucky," said Salon.

STORYLINE
Italian police have arrested two Iranians and five Italians who were selling arms and explosives to Iran in defiance of an international embargo, authorities said on Wednesday.
Two other Iranians were being sought in the busted arms trafficking ring, police and investigators told a news conference in Milan, where anti-terrorism prosecutor Armando Spataro led the months-long probe.
The four Iranians - one of them allegedly a correspondent of Iranian state television - were described by Italian authorities as "spies."
The trafficking, uncovered by the probe code-named "Sniper," was aimed at funnelling arms to sharpshooters, among others, in Iran, the authorities said.
"This investigative operation was carried out on from June 2009 until yesterday, that is, for about 8 months. The crimes contested are criminal association and violation of two different arms traffic embargo laws," Spataro said.
He added that the arms were being shipped through third countries to try to avoid the scrutiny of the arms embargo against Iran.
He said the material was sent via London, Romania, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates.
Police displayed the seized arms and related material, including gun scopes and tracer bullets.
They said some of the material for explosives was purchased in Germany and could be used to make firebombs.
Milan border police General B. Attilio Iodice said investigators, who tapped the suspects' phones for several months, believed they have eradicated the ring.
The suspects were accused in the warrants of criminal association for the trafficking of arms and material that could be used for arms in violation of the embargo against Tehran.

STORYLINE
Greece announced painful new austerity measures on Wednesday worth 4.8 (b) billion euros (6.5 billion US dollars) to deal with a financial crisis that has hammered the euro and unsettled financial markets.
The government also said it wouldn't rule out turning the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for help, a move that could be unpalatable for the European Union.
The decisions were "not a simple choice but a necessity to be taken," Prime Minister George Papandreou said as he briefed the country's president on the new measures, which are aimed at winning European Union support for Greece and calming financial markets.
The measures contain 2.4 (b) billion euros (3.3 billion US dollars) in new revenues such as taxes and another 2.4 (b) billion euros in spending cuts.
They include cuts in civil servants' salaries, pension freezes, increasing sales tax, or VAT, from 19 percent to 21 percent and hiking taxes on alcohol, cigarettes, luxury cars, yachts, precious stones and leather goods among others.
Not everyone welcomed the new austerity measures: pensioners demonstrated in front of Papandreou's office, breaking through riot police lines.
Konstantinos Michalos, President of the Athens Chamber of Commerce, said the measures were "moving in the wrong direction and there is a danger that if they're not coordinated with growth measures they will result in a drop of consumption and lead the nation to a greater recession eliminating any fiscal benefit."
The European Union had expressed support for Greece but demanded additional cuts, and Papandreou said the government was "awaiting European solidarity" regarding the new plan.
Greek officials won verbal support from EU leaders, but also said they would not rule out IMF help.
The IMF is already offering advice, but European Union officials have said an IMF bailout is not needed.
Analysts say IMF intervention is opposed for political reasons - not least because IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn is a potential election opponent for French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who could be reluctant to see a potential opponent serve as the euro's saviour.
Nonetheless, two senior government officials said Papandreou refused to rule out the option of Greece going to the International Monetary Fund to seek help.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to disclose discussions during a closed-door Cabinet meeting just before the austerity measures were announced.
The government hopes endorsement of the latest measures will open the door for a possible financial backstop from other European Union countries and convince bond investors to keep loaning the country money so it can roll over 54 (b) billion euros in expiring debt.
Some finance officials and economists have argued that the Washington, DC-based IMF is the right body to give Greece a financial backstop since it has extensive experience in bailouts and enforcing agreed cutbacks.
Some have even called for the EU to create a European Monetary Fund to assist members in trouble.
There's mounting talk that Strauss-Kahn may present himself as a Socialist candidate in the next French presidential election due in 2012 against President Nicolas Sarkozy.
IMF help would however highlight the European Union's inability to manage the crisis on its own. Strauss-Kahn has said the international lender is ready to help if asked but understands that the EU is unwilling.
Greece has come under intense pressure from the European Union to tame its finances, which include a budget deficit that stands at a staggering 12.7 percent of gross domestic product in 2009.
Athens has promised to reduce it to 8.7 percent this year, but many economists consider that goal unrealistic.
The European Commission and the top economy official in the 16 nations that use the euro backed Greece's decisions, saying they would help financial stability of Europe's currency union.
EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso and the head of a group of eurozone finance ministers, Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, both said they were confident Greece could now reduce its deficit by the required four percentage points this year, and said the country's ambitious programme was "now credibly on track."
Germany, which Papandreou will be visiting on Friday to meet with Chancellor Angela Merkel, welcomed the new austerity plan as an important step toward restoring market confidence but made clear it is not currently planning to pledge aid to Athens.
The new measures are "in line with the talks so far and pledges so far by Greece with its European partners," said a spokesman for Merkel.
Greece wants EU help to borrow money at lower rates, but European officials have remained tight-lipped over any potential rescue plan, insisting Athens must first improve its finances.
Greece's financial crisis has severely shaken confidence in the euro, the common currency used by 16 nations.
It has also lead to market expectations of some sort of bailout led by the German and French governments.

STORYLINE
Ukraine's parliament on Wednesday ousted the government of Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko in a no-confidence vote.
The resolution passed with 243 votes in the 450-seat chamber.
The vote came one day after Tymoshenko's Orange coalition dissolved after her former allies turned against her, with parliament speaker Volodymyr Lytvyn telling lawmakers that the Orange coalition had been unable to prove it still had majority support in parliament.
Tymoshenko lashed out at Lytvyn, who is also a leader of the Orange forces in parliament, for paving the way for an "anti-Ukrainian dictatorship" by President Viktor Yanukovych.
Prior to Tuesday's vote, she again told lawmakers they had a choice between "black and white."
"There is a fight for Ukraine, for its independence, for strengthening of its sovereignty, for strengthening all its functions, for happiness and well-being of its people, and from the other side there is anti-Ukrainian policy, accompanied by mega-corruption," the prime minister said.
Yanukovych defeated Tymoshenko in last month's election, but she has been a thorn in his side, refusing to resign and challenging the vote results.
Tuesday's no-confidence vote spells the final repudiation of the Orange Revolution Tymoshenko helped lead in 2004, and paves the way for Ukraine's new Kremlin-friendly president to consolidate his power.
The country's political parties must now form a new majority coalition and are most likely to group around Yanukovych's Party of Regions.
The president has said that if no majority can be reached, he will disband parliament and call elections.
The Orange coalition, formed in December 2008, was loosely centred on the political ideals of the Orange Revolution, a series of massive street
protests in 2004 led by former President Viktor Yushchenko and Tymoshenko.
Those protests against vote fraud resulted in the Supreme Court overturning Yanukovych's election victory in 2004.
Yushchenko, a reformer who wanted closer integration with the West, won a revote and Tymoshenko became his prime minister.
But their constant bickering and inability to deliver on promises of European integration and economic growth fuelled Yanukovych's comeback, and he defeated Tymoshenko in the 7 February runoff by three and a half percentage points.
Yushchenko, whose mysterious poisoning in 2004 made him a martyr for the Orange cause, appears now to have tacked with Ukraine's shifting political winds.
Members of his party, Our Ukraine, are expected to join the coalition forming around Yanukovych.

STORYLINE:
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said on Wednesday it was investigating an incident last month at John F. Kennedy International Airport during which a child apparently directed pilots from the air traffic control centre.
The incident occurred on February 17th, during a week-long winter break for many New York schoolchildren.
An air traffic controller reportedly brought his young child into work, and allowed him to make transmissions to planes that were about to take off.
Recordings from that day were posted last month on a Web site for air traffic control-listening aficionados.
The apparent voice of a child can be heard on the tape making five transmissions to pilots preparing for takeoff.
In one exchange, the voice can be heard saying, "JetBlue 171 contact departure."
The pilot responds: "Over to departure JetBlue 171, awesome job."
The child appears to be under an adult's supervision, because a male voice then comes on and says with a laugh: "That's what you get, guys, when the kids are out of school".
In another exchange, the youngster clears another plane for takeoff, and says, "Adios".
The pilot responds in kind.
The FAA said it was investigating the incident and taking the matter seriously.
"Pending the outcome of our investigation, the employees involved in this incident are not controlling air traffic," the FAA said in a statement.
"This behaviour is not acceptable and does not demonstrate the kind of professionalism expected from all FAA employees."
The FAA said the control tower was a highly secure area for air traffic controllers, supervisory staff and airport employees with a need to be there.
FAA spokesman Jim Peters said children of the tower's employees were allowed to visit, but needed to get approval from the FAA first.
The union representing air traffic controllers said it could not condone the behaviour apparent in the recordings.
"It is not indicative of the highest professional standards that controllers set for themselves and exceed each and everyday in the advancement of aviation safety," the National Air Traffic Controllers Association said in a statement.
JFK International Airport is the sixth busiest airport in the United States.

STORYLINE:
Somali government forces attacked insurgent-controlled areas in the capital Mogadishu late on Tuesday, setting off a gunbattle and mortar fire that killed at least 10 civilians and four militants, witnesses said on Wednesday.
Almost 40 people were wounded, and bodies and injured were still being brought to hospital on Wednesday.
The fighting started late on Tuesday when government forces moved into an insurgent-held neighbourhood of Mogadishu and killed four al-Shabab fighters, said local residents.
Militant reinforcements arrived and a heavy gunbattle and exchange of mortars continued overnight.
Witnesses said gunfire and explosions could be heard across Mogadishu.
Residents who sought shelter in their homes believed that the battle signified the start of a much-anticipated government offensive against the insurgents.
Somali officials have been indicating for months that government troops, backed by forces from the African Union, would attempt to wrest back control of insurgent-held areas from the militants.
But there was no indication that the fighting was the start of a larger offensive.
Government forces are hampered by a lack of equipment and late salary payments, and some complain they do not even have enough food.
Ali Muse of Mogadishu's ambulance service said the bodies of 10 civilians had been collected. He said 39 wounded people were taken to different hospitals.
A local resident said that mortar fire had slammed into a house and killed two people and wounded three others of the same family.
Thousands of civilians have died in violence-wracked Mogadishu in a conflict that has intensified in the last three years.
The conflict pits Islamist insurgents against a weak, UN-backed government.
Al-Shabab, which Washington says has links to al-Qaida, controls much of Somalia and operates openly in the capital, confining the government and African Union peacekeepers to a few blocks of the city.
Somalia has been ravaged by violence and anarchy since warlords overthrew dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991 and turned on each other.
Piracy has flourished off the Somali coast, making the Gulf of Aden one of the most dangerous waterways in the world.

STORYLINE
South Africa's President Jacob Zuma was greeted on Wednesday with the pomp and ceremony of a royal welcome during his three-day state visit to London.
The 67-year-old South African head of state joined Queen Elizabeth II for a royal salute at Horse Guards Parade in Whitehall.
He was accompanied by Tobeka Madiba Zuma, the newest of his three wives.
The queen was joined by her husband, Prince Philip the Duke of Edinburgh, and Prime Minister Gordon Brown at the ceremony.
As a sign of respect, Brown skipped his weekly "question time" session in Parliament to welcome Zuma.
Zuma and Prince Philip inspected a Guard of Honour, before joining the queen in a carriage procession to Buckingham Palace.
The visit will include an elaborate banquet on Wednesday evening at the palace, where Zuma and his wife will stay as the queen's guests, and a visit with Prince Charles at Clarence House.
Zuma also plans to visit the North London home of the late Oliver Tambo, a leading figure in the long fight against apartheid.
The visit marks Zuma's first to Britain since becoming president last year.
Brown and Zuma are due to hold talks on Thursday.
Zuma and his wife arrived in Britain on Tuesday.
