US sends B-52 nuclear bomber over disputed South China Sea islands

A United States B-52 strategic bomber flew over artificial Chinese islands in the South China Sea recently and was contacted by Chinese ground controllers but continued its mission undeterred, a Pentagon spokesman said overnight.

“We conduct B-52 flights in international air space in that part of the world all the time,” Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook told a news briefing in response to a question about the flight. “There was one B-52 flight...there was an effort made by Chinese ground controllers to reach out to that aircraft and that aircraft continued its mission unabated. Nothing changed.”

Newborn baby found beaten to death outside of a Chicago apartment

The Police are investigating the death of a baby girl whose bludgeoned body was found outside an apartment building in Uptown late Wednesday night.
A man visiting his girlfriend at an apartment building found the child in the middle of a fall storm around 11:45 p.m. Thursday. At first, he thought it was a naked doll, but when he looked closer, he saw it was a baby girl, with her umbilical cord still attached.
He rushed the baby inside, and security called 911. The baby was pronounced dead at Weiss Memorial Hospital, less than a block away.
On Thursday, the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office said the baby died of multiple blunt force injuries. The case is considered a homicide.

Investigators were seen outside the apartment building early Thursday, taking pictures, collecting evidence, and interviewing residents of the building.

Detectives reviewed surveillance video from the apartment building, but the cameras were not in the proper position to record the person who committed the crime or threw the baby there. Police were checking to see if a camera at a nearby school might have recorded any pertinent activity.

Police said investigators do not yet know the girl’s identity, or who her parents are.
