WORLD IN BRIEF
Roberto Alvarez Heredia, spokesman for the Guerrero Coor-
dinating Group, said soldiers were combing the area to see if there
were any more clandestine graves. Investigators were working to
identify the bodies and the killers. Drug gangs frequently decap-
itate their victims.
Residents of the community of Tixtla, Guerrero found nine
decapitated bodies on Monday along a highway. Prosecutors are
looking into whether the nine heads found in Zitlala correspond
to these bodies.

Trump says he’s trying to get
Carrier to keep jobs in US
PALM BEACH, Fla. — President-elect Donald Trump didn’t
take off all of Thanksgiving Day while enjoying a long holiday
weekend with his family at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
Trump said he was trying to stop the makers of Carrier air con-
ditioners from relocating its Indianapolis manufacturing operations
to a company facility in Mexico.
Meanwhile, his transition team was stepping up its effort to
raise money for inaugural festivities. And Trump offered a holiday
prayer for a politically divided nation.
After Thanksgiving Day, Trump and his transition team are
expected to turn their attention back to building his administra-
tion. Two possible appointments loom: retired neurosurgeon and
former presidential candidate Ben Carson as secretary of housing
and urban development and billionaire investor Wilbur Ross Jr. as
commerce secretary.
The most recent Cabinet-level picks to be announced were
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley to serve as U.S. ambassador to
the United Nations and charter school advocate Betsy DeVos to
lead the Education Department.
The cabin and tiller of the “Black Duck” is shown in 350
feet of water off Oswego, N.Y. Underwater explorers say
they’ve found the 144-year-old Lake Ontario shipwreck of
the rare sailing vessel that typically wasn’t used on the
Great Lakes. Underwater explorer Jim Kennard says the
Black Duck is believed to be the only fully intact scow-
sloop to exist in the Great Lakes.
Trump’s stock in oil pipeline
company raises concern
NY explorers find 1872 shipwreck
of rare Great Lakes vessel
WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump holds stock
in the company building the disputed Dakota Access oil pipeline,
and pipeline opponents warn that Trump’s investments could affect
any decision he makes on the $3.8 billion project as president.
Trump’s 2016 federal disclosure forms show he owned between
$15,000 and $50,000 in stock in Texas-based Energy Transfer Part-
ners. That’s down from between $500,000 and $1 million a year
earlier.
Trump also owns between $100,000 and $250,000 in Phillips
66, which has a one-quarter share of Dakota Access.
While Trump’s stake in the pipeline company is modest com-
pared with his other assets, ethics experts say it’s among dozens
of potential conflicts that could be resolved by placing his invest-
ments in a blind trust, a step Trump has resisted.
The Obama administration said this month it wants more study
and tribal input before deciding whether to allow the partially built
pipeline to cross under a Missouri River reservoir in North Dakota.
ALBANY, N.Y. — Underwater explorers say they’ve found
the 144-year-old Lake Ontario shipwreck of a rare sailing vessel
that typically wasn’t used on the Great Lakes.
Western New York-based explorers Jim Kennard and Roger
Pawlowski announced today that they identified the wreck as
the Black Duck in September, three years after initially coming
across it using side-scan sonar in 350 feet of water off Oswego,
New York.
The 51-foot-long, single-mast ship known as a scow-sloop
sank during a gale while hauling goods in August 1872. The
ship’s captain, his wife and a crewmember, the only people on
board, all survived.
Kennard told The Associated Press that only a few of the
flat-bottomed vessels sailed the Great Lakes. He says the Black
Duck is believed to be the only fully intact scow-sloop to exist in
the Great Lakes.

32 bodies found in clandestine
graves in southern Mexico
Black Friday is a big shopping
day, ven with holiday creep,
NEW YORK — Stores open their doors today for what is still
one of the busiest days of the year, even as the start of the holiday
season edges ever earlier.
Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, used to launch the
holiday season, but the competition to grab customers first is keen.
Stores like Macy’s, Walmart, Target and more were open Thursday
evening in what they hope will be a new holiday tradition.
Bree Colley, 30, said she plans to go to Columbia Mall in Mis-
souri today with her mom in their yearly tradition. She and her
husband were out after Thanksgiving dinner, as well, driving
from Harrisburg, Missouri, to pick up a 55-inch television a friend
bought for them during a deal at Walmart.
Colley said the 55-inch television, which was about $200
cheaper than its original $500 price tag, was sold out online ear-
lier Thursday. But a friend was first in line for the deal and bought
one for her.
ACAPULCO, Mexico — Investigators searching clandestine
graves have found 32 bodies and nine human heads in a munic-
ipality in southern Mexico where rival drug gangs have been
engaged in a wave of extortion, kidnappings and turf battles,
authorities said Thursday.
Soldiers and police found the graves on Tuesday at an out-
law camp in Guerrero state after receiving a tip that people were
being held at the site located near a mountain in the municipality
of Zitlala. They said they rescued a kidnap victim and discovered
12 bodies and human remains in coolers.
On Thursday, officials announced that further excavations of
the site had found a total of 32 bodies and nine human heads.

An identity lost in post-war
Japan took 67 years to reclaim
KASHIWA, Japan — At a public bath in a Yokohama slum in
the 1950s, a red-haired girl scrubs her skin with a pumice stone,
hard, to try to get the white out.
Other kids sometimes taunt her. “American, American.” She
yells back, “I’m Japanese!”
There are more hints that she is different. Once a year she’s
taken to a grave in the cemetery for foreigners. Once she is
made to listen to a record of people singing “Happy Birthday” in
English. The reasons are as unknown to her as the Western-look-
ing couple she sees in photos hidden in a brown leather suitcase
in the closet.
She is told she was abandoned. Only much later would she
learn that her family had been a casualty of anti-Asian immigra-
tion policy in the United States. Her American father got Con-
gress to pass a special bill that would have allowed her to enter
the U.S., yet she would go most of her life without knowing
that.
Her life became headline fodder in two countries — Japan and
Sweden — as a custody battle waged, yet she would be the one
to sort out her own fractured identity. It took decades, and the last
piece was put into place only this year.

BAGHDAD — The death toll from a car bombing south of
Baghdad claimed by the Islamic State group rose to 73 today,
including about 40 Iranian pilgrims, Iraqi hospital and police offi-
cials said, the deadliest IS attack in four months.
The officials said 65 other people were wounded in the attack,
which took place on Thursday night at a gas station on a major
highway near the city of Hilla, about 95 kilometers (60 miles)
south of the Iraqi capital.
IS claimed the attack in a brief statement on its Aamaq media
arm, saying it was a suicide truck bomb. Earlier, Iraqi officials,
who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not
authorized to talk to the media, had put the death toll at 56.
The attack appears to have targeted a bus with Iranian pil-
grims heading home after a major Shiite religious observance in
the holy city of Karbala.
Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Hassan Qashqavi was quoted
by the semi-official Tasnim news agency on Thursday night as
saying that 80 people were killed, including 40 Iranians. Con-
flicting death tolls are common in the aftermath of large attacks.
IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR!
