UK’s RAF hunting down N. Korean nukes

London, May 30 (ANI): Britain has reportedly sent out a military plane equipped with a "nuke sniffer" to find out the power of the bomb tested by North Korea.

According to The Sun, the VC-10 tanker was scrambled from RAF Brize Norton, Oxon, to take air samples near the rogue state with an underwing pod.

Any fallout gathered will tell scientists what sort of nuclear material was used in Monday''''s Hiroshima-sized underground blast.

A military source said yesterday: "Once that is known, an estimate of the bomb''''s strength or ''''yield'''' can be made."

The flight crew is under strict orders not to approach any closer to the North Korean coast than 50 miles for fear of being shot down. (ANI)

lliterate Indians lured into slavery in Malaysia

allaca (Malaysia), May 30 (ANI): Thousands of illiterate Indians are falling prey to promises of a good life in Malaysia. Trapped between wanting a better life for their families and their eagerness to escape poverty, they fall victims to scams, managed by syndicates.

"They are like thugs, and they exert force to instil fear in us so that we dare not go against them," M Nadarajah, a victim said.

"Bala (Nadarajah''''s captor) and his brother would use demoralising and abusive words, slap, kick and even hit me with a stick if they were not happy with my work," he added after showing the scars on his back.

Insufficient food and rest make many of these illegal Indians ill, as they are made to work hard on estates in the region.

Some are tortured quite severely, reports the Strait Times.

People like Nadarajah are often threatened by their captors. Captors even threaten to sell their children to prevent them from escaping. (ANI)
