Two killed in Azerbaijan café explosion

5 May 2016

Two men were killed and three injured in Azerbaijan’s second largest city after a grenade exploded in a café.

Maharram Ahmadov, 44, and his nephew Taleh Ahmadov, 31, were killed after an F1 grenade detonated in Ahmadov’s hand in a tea house in Ganja.

The incident was sparked by a dispute, and several men involved who survived the blast were detained. The prosecutor’s office in Ganja has launched an investigation.

Ahmadov’s son Nariman Ahmadov, born in 1998, Ahmadov’s nephew Orkhan Mirzayev, born in 1994, and Sadig Ahmadov, born in 1975, were injured, according to the APA.az news agency. The three were taken to a nearby hospital with shrapnel wounds.

Donald Trump still wants Greenland. "We have to have it", the US president insists. He has sparked a fresh row with Denmark after appointing a special envoy to Greenland.   In response to a question from the BBC about the new role of Jeff Landry, the Republican governor of Louisiana, Trump said the US needed Greenland for "national protection" and that "we have to have it". Trump specifically mentioned Chinese and Russian ships as potential threats in the nearby seas. Greenland, home to about 57,000 people, has had extensive self-government since 1979, though defence and foreign policy remain in Danish hands. While most Greenlanders favour eventual independence from Denmark, opinion polls show overwhelming opposition to becoming part of the US. (click the image to read the full story).
