Students start fire to avoid math test

Three Argentinian children set fire to their school to get out of a math test.

Two girls, aged 15 and 16 and a boy, 15, set the curtains in a classroom on fire at the Santa Maria School in Buenos Aires.

The flames spread to other rooms, but firefighters put out the fire before anyone was inured.

The perpetrators confessed when police started questioning students to find out how the fire started.

“They confessed straight away, simply saying they were dreading the (math) test and that it looked like a good way out of it,” police spokesman said.

Man on horse escapes police

A man on a horse and cart escaped four police motorcycles, a patrol car, a video van, two bicycles and a helicopter.

The 34-year-old man, who has not been named but is wanted for serious assault, was first spotted by a police bike patrol.

The suspect jumped onto a cart with a friend and took off, followed eventually by a convoy of police vehicles.

West Yorkshire police said that officers had pursued as closely as they could but were anxious not to frighten the horse.

The chase ended on a side street, where the wanted man jumped off the cart and ran down a back alley.

The second man was surrounded by the police after he reined in the horse.

Gardener unearths Nazi

A Croatian man found the skeleton of a Nazi soldier while emptying a bag of soil for his new garden.

Bruno Marincic bought the soil from construction workers who helped build a nearby highway.

Marincic was spreading it on his garden when he spotted the remains.

“I was shocked and scared at first,” he said. “When I took a closer look and saw some metal with the bones I realized they were identification plates showing the bones were those of a Wehrmacht soldier.”

Local historians said the tags showed the soldier was a member of the Nazi army’s 188th division, which fought in the area under the command of Gen. Ludwig Kibler.

Local authorities have contacted the German Embassy in Zagreb about the find.
