Cali

The police have a 24-year-old suspect in custody in the slaying of Mafia boss Francesco "Franky Boy" Cali in New York City, authorities said on Saturday.

The reputed boss of New York's Gambino crime family Francesco Cali was left riddled with bullets outside his home on Staten Island, an old-school hit akin to the storied executions of 20th Century mafia dons.

Salsa and paragliding may not seem unusual to many visitors to the Colombian city of Cali. But exotic dances and extreme sports are brand new thrills to blind tourists from around the world.

When he was one of Miami's notorious "cocaine cowboys" in the 1980s, Mickey Munday made millions of dollars flying loads of drugs for Colombia's Medellin and Cali cartels.

Eight bodies bearing gunshot wounds were found in an exclusive rural area of the western Colombian city of Cali, officials said.

Cali World Games gold medallist Mehta, who had beaten former World champion Peter Ebdon in the previous round, was better at safety play that marked the contest and it helped him especially in the fifth frame when he made up a 40-point deficit before clearing the table after Miah missed the yellow.

Cali World Games gold medallist Aditya did show some glimpses of his famed potting prowess but lacked consistency as he lost 0-4 against four-time world champion John Higgins of Scotland in the second round of the championship.

Aditya, who won the World Games gold medal at Cali, Colombia in July, beat Xiao Guo Ding 61-17, 73-36, 107 (104)-9, 01-89 (88), 00-105 (105), 60-25 at Doncaster Dome, 20 kms from Sheffield in England on Monday.

India's numero uno snooker player, Aditya Mehta remained on course to win a gold medal in the ongoing World Games after securing a hard-fought victory against pre-tournament favourite Perry Raymond in the quarterfinals of the quadrennial event at Cali, Columbia.

The World Games will take place in the city of Cali, Colombia from July 25 to August 4. The international multi-sport event is meant for sports, or disciplines or events within a sport, that are not contested in the Olympic Games.

San Diego police say a Navy Seal is on life support after accidentally shooting himself in the head. Officer Frank Cali told U-T San Diego that officers were called to a home in Pacific Beach at about 2 am on Thursday on a report that a man had been playing with a gun and accidentally shot himself.
