MEXICO CITY (AP) - Homicides in Mexico have risen 16 percent in the first half of 2018, as the country again breaks its records for violence.
The Interior Department said over the weekend there were 15,973 homicides in the first six months of the year, compared to 13,751 killings in the same period of 2017.
The number is the highest since comparable records began being kept in 1997, including the peak year of Mexico's drug war in 2011.

At current levels, the department's measure would put yearly national homicides at 22 per 100,000 population. By comparison, New York City last year had a homicide rate of 4 per 100,000, while Baltimore had 56 per 100,000.

UK police think boy, 3, was attacked with acid at store
Police responded to the call early Saturday morning.
The victim was found lying on the ground with severe burns to her face and body.
Authorities said an unknown suspect poured some sort of chemical on the woman before fleeing in a vehicle.
"Well, the make-up of the chemical is unknown at this time," El Monte Police Sgt. Aram Choe said. “It's still an ongoing investigation. But the chemicals contacted her body, which caused considerable skin damage, a considerable amount of pain, as you can imagine, and she may have inhaled some of the fumes, which may have caused some damage to her respiratory system."
There’s no word on a possible motive.
Anyone with information about this attack is asked to contact the El Monte Police Department.

Images of the former Atlanta City Councilman and current executive director of Horizons Atlanta are popping up all over social media on the pages of men claiming to be him.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Like Kim Chan Sun. And Wilson B. Larry. And Kim Lee Alex. And the South Korean doctor. Or the Atlanta heart surgeon.
All, Wan said, appear to be using his image to attract Asian women.
“It is just awkward,” Wan said. “The fact that I am a gay man and they are using my picture to go get women.”
Many of the casual photos of Wan — at least the ones where he has not been Photoshopped performing surgery — were taken at Pride parades.
Wan’s image, in a sense, is being used to “catfish” people.
In the era of online dating and virtual courting, the term “catfishing” rose out of the 2010 documentary and subsequent MTV series “Catfish.”
It is used to describe when a person posts a fake social media profile — particularly photos — to make social and romantic connections.

In February, the Better Business Bureau reported that more than a million Americans have been victims of “romance scams,” and over the last three years, more than $1 billion has been scammed from lonely Americans and Canadians looking for love on the other side of a screen.
But why Wan?
“I guess it is something about my image that they think will attract women,” Wan said.

Wan isn’t clear how many people are using his image, or whether one person is using it multiple times on different profiles. Wan said his image has shown up on Facebook and WhatsApp.
“It started earlier this year.

President Donald Trump took to Twitter late Sunday to issue a fiery, all-caps warning to Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, who told Trump hours earlier to stop "playing with the lion's tail ... or else you will regret it."
>> Jamie Dupree: Digging into the release of the Carter Page FISA application
"To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE," Trump wrote in the 11:24 p.m. tweet. "WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!"
