Earthquake California

A 3.6 magnitude earthquake in California was felt most strongly in the East Bay and Peninsula areas, according to the United States Geological Survey.

It was followed this morning by an earthquake 2.7 reported near Yorba Linda in Orange County.

But the Bay Area earthquake was much larger and felt over a wide area.

The body of Al-Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden has been buried at sea after he was killed by US covert forces in Pakistan , US media reported Monday.

Osama bin laden dead

Cable television networks CNN, MSNBC and Fox, said a senior U.S. official confirmed that the body of Bin Laden was thrown into the sea, without giving further details.

U.S. officials did not respond when contacted by AFP to confirm these reports.

But earlier an administration official said of the corpse: "We are ensuring that it is handled in accordance with Islamic practice and tradition.

"This is something we take very seriously. And so, therefore this is being handled in an appropriate manner."
Bury the body of Ben Laden in the sea would ensure that his final resting place does not become a sanctuary and a place of pilgrimage for his followers, ABC television reported earlier.

A magnitude 8.9 earthquake slammed Japan's northeastern coast Friday, unleashing a 13-foot tsunami that swept boats, cars, buildings and tons of debris miles inland. Fires triggered by the quake burned out of control up and down the coast.

Tsunami warnings are in place for countries including the Philippines, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Honduras, Chile, Ecuador and Columbia.

Authorities are evacuating tens of thousands of people from vulnerable areas.

The largest waves are headed south-west from Japan at about 500mph and could cross the Pacific basin in 24 hours. There have been waves from four to seven metres high crashing into the Japanese coast.

Japan

A magnitude 8.9 earthquake slammed Japan's northeastern coast Friday, unleashing a 13-foot tsunami that swept boats, cars, buildings and tons of debris miles inland. Fires triggered by the quake burned out of control up and down the coast.

At least one person was killed and there were reports of several injuries in Tokyo, hundreds of kilometers away, where buildings shook violently through the main quake and the wave of massive aftershocks that followed.

TV footage showed waves of muddy waters sweeping over farmland near the city of Sendai, carrying buildings, some on fire, inland as cars attempted to drive away.

"This is a rare major quake, and damages could quickly rise by the minute," said Junichi Sawada, an official with Japan's Fire and Disaster Management Agency.
