GREECE

Sobbing Greek villagers buried a woman and her four children who died in one of the many forest fires across the nation, as officials said the last major blaze was under control after flaring up over the weekend.

In Artemida, about 200 residents attended the funeral of the woman who was found clutching the bodies of her children, the most shocking image from the fires.

"I have run out of tears," said one woman as a string of hearses carried white coffins to a church.

Officials also said two other big fires were extinguished, leaving only minor fires smoldering.

Hundreds of young protesters threw rocks, smashed shop windows and set fires to cars in Copenhagen, Danish police said.

One officer was injured and 63 people were arrested. "Three or four people will be charged for violent behavior against police officers," said police spokesman Flemming Steen Munch. "The others have been released."

The unrest started after a demonstration late Saturday commemorating a makeshift cultural center for the city's anarchists and disaffected youth that was demolished in March.

BANGLADESH Former Premier Zia is detained

Security forces detained Bangladesh's most recent prime minister, Khaleda Zia, witnesses and officials said today.

Hundreds of army-led security forces had surrounded Zia's home in Dhaka, the capital. The move came after police said they recorded a corruption case against Zia, her son Arafat Rahman and 11 others. Police gave no details on the case.

Zia's elder son and political heir Tarique Rahman was detained in March in an anti-corruption drive by the army-backed interim government.

CHINA U.N. to get data on military spending

China said it would provide the United Nations with information on its military spending and arms deals for the first time in more than a decade.

The U.S. and Japan have questioned the pace and amount of China's defense spending.

China will give "basic data of its military expenditures for the latest fiscal year," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The country already announces basic details of its military budget each year, and it was unknown what data it plans to give to the U.N.
