A big motorway pileup in western Austria has left one person dead and 30 injured,
police say.
The crash, involving at least 60 vehicles, was near the town of Seewalchen, on the main
motorway linking Vienna and Salzburg. A police spokesman said that low visibility caused by
a major snowstorm was to blame for the accident.
Some victims were trapped in their vehicles, and falling snow was hampering rescue efforts.
Helicopters attempted to land at the scene, but some had to abort the rescue mission because
of the heavy snowfall
Around 40 Red Cross rescue vehicles have been sent to the scene, where they are working
alongside the emergency services. The Red Cross said a bus was involved in the incident.
At least five of the injured were in a serious condition and local hospitals have been put on
standby to deal with the casualties. The motorway has been closed in both directions. This is
not the first incident along this section of the motorway. The Seelwachen to St Georgen
section has seen several fatal crashes, mostly because of fog, in which 10 people have died
since 2002.
Heavy fighting has been raging in Basra as thousands of Iraqi troops battle Shia militias
in the southern city.
At least 12 people have died in the operation, which is being overseen in Basra by Iraqi PM
Nouri Maliki, a day after he vowed to "reimpose law". British forces carried out air strikes to
support embattled Iraqi army tanks and artillery on the ground.
Oilrich Basra is in the grip of a bitter war between armed groups, including the Mehdi Army,
say analysts. The Mehdi Army which supports radical Shia cleric Moqtada Sadr called for
a nationwide campaign of civil disobedience. The powerful militia declared a truce last
August which had been credited with helping restore stability to parts of Iraq.
The BBC's Adam Brookes says three Iraqi army brigades were deployed from Baghdad to
Basra as backup for the offensive, and that up to 15,000 troops could be involved. Some of
the fiercest fighting in the operation sid Saulat alFursan (Charge of the Knights) has
focused on Mehdi Army strongholds. Of the suspected militants known to have been killed so
far, four died in street fighting and five in a coalition air strike.
British military spokesman Maj Tom Holloway told the BBC no UK troops were involved on
the ground. The UK military returned control of Basra to the Iraqis in December and
concentrated its forces at the city airport.
The marriage of former Baywatch actress Pamela Anderson and Rick Salomon has been
officially annulled, court documents filed in Los Angeles show.
Both parties listed fraud as the reason for declaring their October 2007 wedding invalid.
Salomon, 40, is best known for making an explicit video with exgirlfriend and celebrity
heiress Paris Hilton. Canadianborn Anderson, also 40, was previously married to Motley
Crue drummer Tommy Lee and rapper Kid Rock. Anderson and Salomon married in Las
Vegas in October but separated eight weeks later.
