In this photo taken in January 2003 released by Philip Blenkinsop, villagers break down en-masse after delivering their plea through visiting reporters to the international community for safety from attacks by the Lao army, as Hmong rebel leader Moua Toua Ther, right, oversees the encounter in Laos. Moua Toua Ter traveled through the jungles of Laos in 2003 with a small band of followers who were in hiding from the Lao army, who were trying to track them down because the communist government distrusted them as allies of the United States during the Vietnam War. Moua Toua Ter later fled to safety to Thailand, but on Monday, March 25, 2013, was in an immigration jail in Bangkok, and it is feared he will be deported to Laos, where rights activists say he will face persecution from the authorities.

Detroit Mayor Dave Bing, center, unveils an ambitious plan by local business leaders to fund the purchase of public safety vehicles for the cash-strapped city, on Monday, March 25, 2013. In what was described as an "unprecedented collaboration," Bing held a press conference with industrialist Roger Penske to announce the plan that included an $8 million donation for the leasing of 23 new EMS vehicles and 100 police cruisers. A separate $6 million has also been committed for recreation programming in the city, with $5 million from Lear Corp. and $1 million from DTE Energy Co. (AP Photo/The Detroit News, David Coates)

FILE - This undated image provided by the Colorado Department of Corrections shows its director Tom Clements. Sheriff's Lt. Jeff Kramer says Clements was shot to death around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday night March 19, 2013 when he answered his front door in Monument, north of Colorado Springs. Personal safety is always on the mind of most correctional officers and prison administrators when they’re working the prison tower or shaking down inmate cells for contraband. But increasingly it’s also a concern at the end of their shifts and off prison grounds. The slaying of Clements has officers checking their review mirrors more often and industry experts recommending a closer look at security off the job. (AP Photo/Colorado Department of Corrections)

FILE – In this March 6, 2013, file photo U.S.Attorney General Eric Holder testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington. Congress passed a spending bill to keep the government open through the end of September 2013, which Holder says provides no relief from the $1.6 billion in budget reductions that became effective March 1. In a memo to Justice Department employees he says he dealt with the problem by transferring $150 million in existing Justice Department funds to the Bureau of Prisons account, thus averting daily furloughs of 3,570 federal prison staffers around the country, and staving off what would have been a serious threat to the lives and safety of staff, inmates and the public.

On their daily cable car rides to and from home in Venezuela’s capital, commuters soar in a bubble of safety far above the deadly, trash-strewn streets below. Amid a list of woes, including double-digit inflation and crumbling infrastructure, rampant crime is seen by many as the main failing of the late President Hugo Chavez’s government, and one that a whole swath of this shell-shocked country has lost hope of correcting.

FILE - In this Jan. 7, 2013, file photo, a Japan Airlines Boeing 787 jet aircraft is surrounded by emergency vehicles while parked at a terminal E gate at Logan International Airport in Boston as a fire chief looks into the cargo hold. Congress has been strangely silent as Boeing, its airline customers and federal safety regulators struggled over the past two months to solve problems with the new Boeing 787 fire-plagued batteries. The unusual bipartisan silence reflects Boeing’s political clout, wielded by legions of lobbyists, fueled by hefty political campaign contributions and by the company’s importance as a huge employer and the nation’s single largest exporter.

In this March 9, 2013 photo, porters unload boxes of Chinese fruits near traders at Long Bien wholesale market for fruits and vegetables in Hanoi, Vietnam. While fears about the safety of Chinese food products are often well founded, in Vietnam they are so tangled up with anti-Chinese sentiment it is hard to tell where one begins and the other ends. More than 1,000 years of occupation, a bloody border war in 1979 and renewed assertiveness by China in pushing territorial claims in the South China Sea mean that tales of Chinese perfidy find fertile soil in which to grow.(AP Photo/Na Son Nguyen)

Around half of the produce at the market is trucked in from China, arriving in the city in the middle of the night and distribute for Hanoi and neighbor areas.

FILE - In this April 22, 2010 image from video provided by the United States Humane Society, a Hallmark Meat Packing slaughter plant worker is shown attempting to force a "downed" cow onto its feet by ramming it with the blades of a forklift in Chino, Calif. State legislators across the country are introducing laws making it harder for animal welfare advocates to investigate cruelty and food safety cases. Bills pending in California, Nebraska and Tennessee require that anyone collecting evidence of abuse turn it over to law enforcement within 24 to 48 hours - which advocates say does not allow enough time to document illegal activity under federal humane handling and food safety laws. Critics say the bills are an effort to deny consumers the ability to know how their food is produced. (AP Photo/Humane Society of the United States, file)
