E'RE SHAR NG OU M ONTREAL - In the last year Canada has seen mayors slapped with corruption accusations and gangsterism charges. One was linked to a crack- smoking video. Another quit in a sex scandal. Now one says he kills kittens. The mayor of Huntingdon, Que., St�phane Gendron, has been forced to apologize for joking about how he enthusiastically kills cats with his car - even kittens. The small- town mayor, whose other career is radio shock jock, has posted a letter on the website of his show explaining his " dark humour" had done nothing to raise the level of debate over animal control. " When I see a cat in the street, I accelerate," Gendron had said, days earlier, on his radio show. " Stray cats have no business on the street," he said, raising his voice to a shout for dramatic emphasis: " So bang! I accelerate." He didn't stop there. " The other day I backed up over a newborn and I'm sure it didn't feel a thing," Gendron said. " The pickup passed over him like it was nothing." One of his fellow hosts called his comments, " Sick," while another compared such actions to the alleged behaviour of accused killer Luka Rocco Magnotta. Gendron's statement of apology came after the SPCA said it had opened an investigation into the mayor, whose town of 2,450 is between Montreal and the New York State border. Gendron has spoken before about the problem of stray animals. His town council recently adoped a bylaw requiring sterilization of all cats. Gendron said smaller communities don't have animal shelters and euthanizing every stray is unaffordable. He said the proliferation of cats on his own property has become a big problem. While the statement does offer an apology, it never states whether he was telling the truth on the air. " On July 9, 2013, I made largely exaggerated comments on the overpopulation of cats that constitutes a nuisance in our urban and rural areas," Gendron's statement said. " I admit that the imagery used served no purpose in advancing the debate on this issue... For all these reasons, I apologize. The use of dark humour was inappropriate in dealing with such a subject." The SPCA said it's looking for people who have evidence to support the claims the mayor initially made on the air. - The Canadian Press Mayor's claims about running over cats probed Leaker has NSA blueprint RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil - Edward Snowden has very sensitive " blueprints" detailing how the National Security Agency operates that would allow someone who read them to evade or even duplicate NSA surveillance, a journalist close to the intelligence leaker said Sunday. Glenn Greenwald, a columnist with the Guardian newspaper who closely communicates with Snowden and first reported on his intelligence leaks, told The Associated Press the former NSA systems analyst has " literally thousands of documents" that constitute " basically the instruction manual for how the NSA is built." " In order to take documents with him that proved that what he was saying was true, he had to take ones that included very sensitive, detailed blueprints of how the NSA does what they do," Greenwald said. He said the interview took place about four hours after his last interaction with Snowden, with whom he said he's in almost daily contact. Snowden emerged from weeks of hiding in a Moscow airport Friday, and said he was willing to stop leaking secrets about U. S. surveillance programs if Russia would give him asylum until he can move on to Latin America. Greenwald told The AP Snowden has insisted the information from those documents not be made public. The journalist said it " would allow somebody who read them to know exactly how the NSA does what it does, which would in turn allow them to evade that surveillance or replicate it." Military chief goes on TV CAIRO, Egypt - Facing unrelenting pressure from Muslim Brotherhood protesters, Egypt's military chief sought to justify his decision to remove Mohammed Morsi from office, saying Sunday in a televised speech the leader had violated his mandate and antagonized state institutions. The comments by Gen. Abdel- Fattah el- Sissi - his first since the president's ouster nearly two weeks ago - came as the designated interim prime minister pushed ahead with talks to form a new cabinet this week. Reform advocate Mohamed ElBaradei was sworn in as Egypt's interim vice- president for international relations Sunday. The move reinforces the role of liberals in the new leadership who are opposed to the Brotherhood. Several secular- minded candidates also have been approached to lead the foreign, finance, culture, information and other key ministries. Cirque show to resume LAS VEGAS - Cirque du Soleil will resume performances of its show Ka in Las Vegas on Tuesday, 17 days after a French acrobat fell to her death in its closing scene. Troupe spokeswoman Ren�e- Claude Menard says the show will resume without the aerial battle scene that resulted in the June 29 death of Sarah Guillot- Guyard, 31. M�nard says the decision was made after consultation with artists and staff. Coroner's officials have ruled Guillot- Guyard's death an accident. Rowling uses pseudonym LONDON - An ex- military man tries his hand at writing, publishes a debut detective novel and wins critical acclaim. But here's the twist in the tale: The identity of the author is Harry Potter creator J. K. Rowling. It's impressive literary wizardry by Rowling, who said she relished the freedom of writing The Cuckoo's Calling under her pseudonym Robert Galbraith. " I hoped to keep this secret a little longer because being Robert Galbraith has been such a liberating experience," she said in a statement. " It has been wonderful to publish without hype or expectation, and pure pleasure to get feedback from publishers and readers under a different name." The Cuckoo's Calling , a story about a war veteran turned private investigator who probes the mysterious death of a model, was published to rave reviews in April. - The Associated Press The World Edward Snowden A_ 11_ Jul- 15- 13_ FP_ 01. indd A11 7/ 14/ 13 10: 05: 36 PM ;
