No impact on Malaysians in Jordan following Iran-US strikes, says embassy

KUALA LUMPUR, June 23 — All Malaysian citizens in Jordan are well and unaffected by the attacks taking place in Iran early Sunday morning. In a statement, the Malaysian Embassy in Amman, Jordan, said the current situation in the country is stable and local authorities are tightening security measures to ensure public safety. The embassy said on its Facebook page that recent incidents of unknown debris falling in Amman and Azraq took place far away from the living quarters of Malaysian students. 'The embassy will continue to monitor the situation in Jordan and provide updates from time to time,' it said. For enquiries, the embassy can be reached via e-mail [email protected] or phone +962-6-5902400 (office hours) /+962785902400 (officer in charge). Hostilities between Israel and Iran came to a head on June 13 when Israel carried out unprovoked airstrikes on multiple locations across Iran, including its military and nuclear facilities. Tehran retaliated. On Sunday, the United States carried out strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, prompting global fear and condemnation. — Bernama

Ten girls taken to hospital after being pricked by ‘man with syringe' at French music festival as one arrested

AROUND ten girls were reportedly pricked by a man with a syringe during a French musical festival. The incident is said to have unfolded in Metz on Friday, when over 50,000 flocked to celebrate World Music Day, Le Républicain Lorrain reports. 2 The girls - most reportedly minors - were targeted by one or more people at around 10pm, according to the local outlet. The alleged attacks happened between two popular spots in the city centre, Place de la République and Place Saint-Jacques. Firefighters at the event quickly tended to the girls, who were then rushed to hospital "for analysis", according to Metz mayor François Grosdidier. A man was arrested by local cops in connection with the incidents. He was taken to the police station to be interviewed. Grosdidier estimated that a crowd of 50,000 packed the city centre, adding: "It's Saturday night and it's still hot… There are a lot of people, people everywhere, in all the city centre streets." Police remained on duty throughout the night following the incident. It comes as a school girl was stabbed to death by a 15-year-old student who went on a knife rampage at a school in the French city of Nantes. The attacker, wearing black clothing and a balaclava, also stabbed three other students who were rushed to hospital. When armed cops arrived at the scene, the attacker reportedly shouted "shoot me in the head" before being handcuffed and taken away.

Just hours earlier, an anonymous email is said to have gone around the school speaking of a "revolt". The manifesto, reportedly seen by Le Parisien, spoke about eco issues. Meanwhile, a teaching assistant was stabbed to death by a teenage student over a week ago. The 31-year-old was stabbed several times outside the Françoise Dolto school, in north-east France.
