Quake hits gold mine; 1 killed, 4 missing

JOHANNESBURG - A South African gold mining company says one miner has died and another four are missing after an earth tremor struck one of its sites.

The Harmony company said Saturday that rescue teams at its Kusasalethu mine near the town of Carletonville brought one of the trapped miners to the surface but he died of his injuries.

Harmony says the search continues for four other miners who were trapped when the tremor caused a partial collapse deep in a mining shaft on Friday morning. Camp Lejeune, N.C.

The memorial service will occur Sunday afternoon at the Newburgh air base.

Anti-Netanyahu protesters gather

PETAH TIKVA, Israel Hundreds of protesters gathered in front of Israel’s attorney general’s home on Saturday to demand he indict Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on corruption charges.

The weekly vigils have become the vanguard of a grassroots protest movement against Netanyahu’s alleged financial misdeeds and illicit ties to executives in media, international business and Hollywood.

Netanyahu has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and called the accusations against him a witch hunt orchestrated by a hostile media. The scandal has yet to threaten his lengthy rule, but has harmed his public approval ratings.

Saturday night’s demonstration comes a week after a pair of high-profile organizers were arrested and after Israel’s Supreme Court ruled the protests could continue as long as they didn’t exceed 500 people or include the use of loudspeakers in the residential area.
