Quacks prey on dying
(AdelaideNow would like to hear from anyone who has been offered so-called miricle cures. Scroll down and tell us about your experiences in the comment box provided.) In one case, a young woman with pancreatic cancer died two months after receiving a controversial treatment called "ozone therapy".

"I don't know if we can logically and successfully defend our actions in that," says Lyn McClellan, head of the DA's felony office.

Meanwhile the Italian Embassy confirmed the bombing in northern Baghdad's Adhamiya neighborhood which killed one person but had no further details about the incident. Three police were among the wounded when the parked car blew up, the official said. A predominantly Sunni neighborhood, Adhamiya is one of the areas in Baghdad where an "awakening" movement has been created to maintain security. The awakening movement is the name for the anti-al-Qaeda in Iraq Sunni groups that have emerged in Iraq over the year. The detention of the 11 people in coalition raids targeting netted, the U.S. military said, an al Qaeda in Iraq leader north of Hawija, believed to be responsible for facilitating finances and logistics for the terrorist network in the area".
