Company pulls toys depicting 9-11 attack

Small toys showing an airplane flying into the World Trade Center were packed inside more than 14,000 bags of candy and sent to small groceries around the country before being recalled.

Lisy Corp., the wholesaler that distributed the candy, said Friday that the toys were purchased in bulk from a Miami-based import company.

The toys came in an assortment purchased sight unseen from L&M Import in Miami and included the toys depicting the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the twin towers, whistles and other small toys, said Luis Pedron, Lisy’s national sales manager. The invoice said the toy was a plastic swing set.

“I hate to blame the importer. He probably did not know what he was getting. He brings them in 40-foot containers. But whoever made it knew exactly what they were making,” Pedron said.

Bosnian refugee in U.S. accused in mass killings

A construction worker living in a Boston suburb was an executioner in a Bosnian Serb military unit that took part in the killing of thousands of Muslims in the former Yugoslavia in 1995, prosecutors allege.

Marko Boskic, 40, was charged with two counts of immigration document fraud, said U.S. Atty. Michael Sullivan in a statement Thursday. Boskic was arrested Wednesday at his home in Peabody.

In a statement supporting the criminal complaint, a federal investigator alleged that Boskic was a member of the 10th Sabotage Detachment, which took part in the mass killings in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica.

Carbon monoxide leak sickens 30 students

A cracked exhaust pipe on a heater caused a carbon monoxide leak that sickened 30 male students in a dormitory at an Anaconda jobs center Friday, leaving some unconscious and others suffering convulsions, authorities said.

Twenty students were being flown to hospitals in Billings and Spokane, Wash., said Anaconda Fire Chief Bill Converse.

Authorities were called to the center about 7:30 a.m. after a nurse reported finding several dozen students sick, Converse said.

Their ages and conditions were not immediately available. The Anaconda Job Corps Center serves men and women ages 16 to 24, according to the center’s Web site.

Teen pleads no contest to stabbing classmate

A 16-year-old Porter boy accused of fatally stabbing a classmate aboard a school bus pleaded no contest to first-degree murder Friday and was transferred to juvenile custody.

Daniel Harley Dillingham will remain in the county jail, segregated from other inmates, until a bed opens at the state’s only maximum-security juvenile facility.

Under state law, juvenile offenders can’t be held past their 19th birthdays unless they fail to comply with treatment. In that case, they can be transferred to an adult prison for no more than 10 years.

Dillingham, who was 15 at the time, stabbed Carl Andrew Robinson in the back and chest aboard a Porter High School bus Dec. 8.
