A woman dumped a bag of puppies in a bin and people are horrified.

A woman dubbed 'heartless and evil' after she was filmed dumping a bag of puppies in the bin in Coachella, California has been arrested. 

Surveillance footage captured the moment a woman, driving a white Jeep, came out of her car with a plastic bag, opened a bin and looked inside before moving on and tossing her bag next to a bin that was overflowing with trash. The bag contained seven terrier mix puppies that were just three days old, according to investors with the Riverside County Department of Animal Services. The puppies were found by a man called John, who heard their cries when he was looking through the trash and took them to a nearby auto shop. John Welsh, a spokesperson for animal services, told Washington Post that the puppies were dumped in a sealed plastic bag - and had they not been found as soon as they had, they would have died.  "He just happened to be in the right spot at the right time," Welsh said. The head of animal services, Chris Mayer added: “There is no excuse for dumping puppies".This was a shameful act. Talking about the discovery, John told a local television station that when he found them, they were panting and in pain. “I was kind of in shock to see the way that she threw it,” he said. Carelessly, without emotion, like it was just a regular old bag of trash. They were later taken to a rescue centre, where they are being bottle fed. 

Death Toll Rises to 359 in Sri Lanka Bombings, More Arrested.

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka—The death toll from the Easter suicide bombings in Sri Lanka rose to 359, police said Wednesday, as the country’s leaders vowed to overhaul the security apparatus amid a series of intelligence lapses before the attacks.U.S. Ambassador Alaina Teplitz, meanwhile, told reporters that “clearly there was some failure in the system.” Sri Lanka’s leaders have said some of the country’s security units were aware before Easter of possible attacks but did not share those warnings widely. Teplitz said the U.S. had “no prior knowledge” of a threat before the bombings. She said a team of FBI agents and U.S. military officials were helping in the investigation. The ISIS terrorist group has claimed responsibility and released images that purported to show the seven bombers who blew themselves up at three churches and three hotels Sunday in the worst violence this South Asian island nation has seen since its civil war ended a decade ago. The government has said the attacks were carried out by ISIS in apparent retaliation for last months’ New Zealand mosque massacre but has said the seven bombers were all Sri Lankan. Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said investigators were still working to determine the extent of the bombers’ foreign links. Police spokesman Ruwan Gunasekara said Wednesday morning that 18 additional suspects were arrested overnight, raising the total detained to 58.ISIS has lost all the territory it once held in Iraq and Syria and has made a series of unsupported claims of responsibility around the world.

Sri Lankan authorities have blamed a local extremist group, National Towheed Jamaar, whose leader, alternately known as Mohammed Zahran or Zahran Hashmi, became known to Muslim leaders three years ago for his incendiary speeches online. Teplitz declined to discuss whether the embassy or U.S. officials had heard of National Towheed Jamaar or its leader prior to the attack. “If we had heard something, we would have tried to do something about this,” Teplitz said. The ISIS group’s Aamaq news agency released an image purported to show the leader of the attackers, standing amid seven others whose faces are covered. The group did not provide any other evidence for its claim, and the identities of those depicted in the image were not independently verified.

Meanwhile, in an address to Parliament, Ruwan Wijewardene, the state minister of defence, said “weakness” within Sri Lanka’s security apparatus led to the failure to prevent the nine bombings.“By now it has been established that the intelligence units were aware of this attack and a group of responsible people were informed about the impending attack,” Wijewardene said. “However, this information has been circulated among only a few officials.”In a live address to the nation late Tuesday, Sri Lanka President Maithripala Sirisena said he also was kept in the dark on the intelligence about the planned attacks and vowed to “take stern action” against the officials who failed to share the information. He also pledged “a complete restructuring” of the security forces. Wijewardene said the government had evidence that the bombings were carried out “by an ISIS fundamentalist group” in retaliation for the March 15 mosque shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand, that killed 50 people, although he did not disclose the evidence

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told reporters in Auckland on Wednesday that she’d had no official word from Sri Lanka, or seen any intelligence reports, to back that up. However, she added that Sri Lanka was in the early stages of its investigation. An Australian white supremacist was arrested in the Christchurch shootings. The history of Buddhist-majority Sri Lanka, a country of 21 million including large Hindu, Muslim and Christian minorities, is rife with ethnic and sectarian conflict. In the 26-year civil war, the Tamil Tigers rebel army had little history of targeting Christians and was crushed by the government in 2009. Anti-Muslim bigotry fed by Buddhist nationalists has swept the country recently but Sri Lanka has no history of terrorism. Its small Christian community has seen only scattered incidents of harassment.
