...freak training accident on the Pitztal glacier, near Innsbruck. During a joint French and German team-practice session, the 31-year-old Cavagnoud was speeding down the ice at around 65 km/h when she crashed into German coach Markus Anwander.

In September, the government rounded up dozens of political and religious dissidents and put some under house arrest. Later that month, 14 ethnic-minority men accused of leading antigovernment protests in the Central Highlands were given prison sentences of up to 12 years.
