Arrests Made in Deadly 2011 Listeria Outbreak

Arrests were made, on Thursday, in the case of the 2011 listeria outbreak.

Thirty-three people died as a result of eating tainted cantaloupe.

Over the past two years the CDC gathered enough evidence to show that the owners of a Colorado farm were negligent in their cleaning of the cantaloupe and the environment that the cantaloupes were in.

With the negligence shown, the two owners of the now bankrupt Jensen Farms have been arrested.

Eric and Ryan Jensen are being charged with the misdemeanor offense of introducing adulterated food into interstate commerce.

23 Killed in Baghdad Market Bombings

Twenty-three people were killed in bombings in Baghdad, on Thursday.

Seven people were killed and seventeen wounded when a bomb went off at the al-Athorien market, in Dora.

In Sabaa al-Bour, the market was struck by three simultaneous bombs.

Sixteen people were killed and forty-one wounded in the triple bombing.

No one claimed responsibility for any of the bombs, but the government is pointing to Al Qaeda as the likely suspect.
