Bangkok blast: Malaysia arrests eight suspects

"So far we have arrested eight people, four of them are local. They were arrested for involvement in human trafficking activities," media quoted Deputy Police Chief Noor Rashid Ibrahim as saying.

The suspects were arrested in Kuala Lumpur and the northern state of Kelatan bordering Thailand. So far, there was no concrete evidence or confessions of their direct involvement in the attack, Noor Rashid said.

Malaysian police are working with their Thai counterpart for further investigation. A potential extradition requires evidence from the Thai authorities and has to go through legal process. http://post.jagran.com/bangkok-blast-malaysia-arrests-eight-suspects-1443007454

"I'm not happy with the time," the pint-sized Miyazaki said in an interview after recovering his wind. "I started shedding tears during the race because I was going so slowly. Perhaps I'm getting old!" http://post.jagran.com/golden-bolt-stuns-medical-science-to-set-100m-world-record-1443001788

People taking addiction treatment are more likely to smoke: Study

The findings suggest that substance abuse programs do not sufficiently address tobacco use issues.

"When people come into treatment for drugs and alcohol, we are not treating another addiction that has a significant chance of eventually killing them, which is tobacco use," said lead researcher Joseph Guydish, professor at the University of California, San Francisco, US.

"At a public health level, this means that our addiction treatment efforts should address smoking and tobacco use better than they do now," Guydish noted. http://post.jagran.com/people-taking-addiction-treatment-are-more-likely-to-smoke-study-1443005603

Apple moving forward on building a car: Report

The Wall Street Journal says Apple has set an internal timetable for a project, code-named Titan, that involves development of an electric vehicle. The newspaper said Apple has set a 'ship date' of 2019, although that could just be a target for engineers to sign off on the design — not when a car would be available for sale.

Apple declined comment today on the report, which cited unnamed sources.  http://post.jagran.com/apple-moving-forward-on-building-a-car-report-1442905306
