Runners furious as only one person completes full distance in Marathon of
the North
Bungling organisers of the Marathon of the North have been forced to
apologise after 5,000 runners ended up running 264m short of marathon
distance because of a blunder by race marshalls.
Only the winner, Jake Harrison, completed the correct course in Sunderland.
But Harrison had built up a sufficient lead of the race that the vehicles
following him were out of sight.
The second- and third-placed runners headed off in the wrong direction, and
that meant that everyone thereafter did not complete the full distance.
For those runners who fell short of the 26.2 mile route, it meant that all
their months of training and effort did not result in a complete marathon. | g*****A

DETROIT — Federal agents arrested a suspicious traveler with an altered
Saudi Arabian passport at Detroit Metro Airport over the weekend after
discovering a pressure cooker in his luggage.
According to a criminal complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court, the
passenger, Hussain Al Khawahir arrived Friday at the Detroit airport from
Saudi Arabia via Amersterdam. He had a visa and a Saudi Arabian passport and
told officers in the baggage control area that he would be visiting his
nephew at the University of Toledo, the complaint said.

STORY: Boston bombs were pressure cookers
In the baggage area, two customs officers interviewed the passenger and
noticed a page had been removed from the man's passport, the complaint said.
The man said he did not know how the page was removed and stated that the
passport was locked in a box that only he, his wife and three minor children
had access to in his home, the complaint said. His hometown was not listed
in court documents.
While at the airport, customs and border officials also examined his luggage
and found a pressure cooker inside. When questioned about it, the man
initially said that he brought the pressure cooker for his nephew because
pressure cookers are not sold in America, the complaint said. The man then
changed his story and admitted his nephew had purchased a pressure cooker in
America before, but it "was cheap" and broke after the first use.
Pressure cookers were used in last month's Boston marathon bombings.
Then a U.S. Customs and Border Protection enforcement officer read Khawahir
his Miranda rights.
The man acknowledged that he understood those rights, both verbally and in
writing at 4:25 p.m. Friday. A minute later, he invoked his right to remain
silent, the complaint said.
On Monday afternoon, Kawahir was in federal court in Detroit, making his
initial appearance on charges that he knowingly used an altered Saudi
Arabian passport with missing pages, and made a materially false statement
to a customs officer about the pressure cooker in his possession, all to
gain entry into the United States. He is being temporarily detained pending
a formal detention hearing at 1 p.m. Tuesday in U.S. District Court in
Detroit.
Customs and Border Protection officials and the FBI declined comment.
On Christmas Day 2009, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a Nigerian student turned
al Qaida operative, tried to blow up a Detroit-bound jetliner by concealing
a bomb in his underwear. The bomb fizzled, a flight attendant put out the
flames and passengers subdued him. He was sentenced Feb. 16, 2012, in U.S.
District Court in Detroit to multiple life sentences.
