arrested a woman and seized materials used to make explosives in the coastal city

ZHENGZHOU Mitch Morse Camo Jersey , Dec.3 (Xinhua) -- Propping a wooden bird house filled with books on the back of his bike, Yan Defeng cycles around Zhengzhou in central China's Henan Province, eager to find a home for his fourth "Bird's Nest" library.


The 36-year-old self-employed man is spreading his joy of reading by distributing the book-filled bird houses as part of the "Bird's Nest" library program inspired by something similar in the U.S. but quickly migrating across Chinese cities.


The clever book exchange allows participants to take a free book from the nest and replace it with one of their own. So far, Yan has created four such libraries, with two already adopted by volunteers.


He also operates his own library, which he began on Nov. 1. Every morning he travels to his bus stop and places the bird house in plain sight. In the evening, he travels back to check how many books have been exchanged.


"In the first week, all of the books remained," said Yan. "Then, some people began to take away books and others put books in."


In the past month, 18 books have been exchanged but only three of the original books are left, he said. Titles range from literature masterpieces and historical books to children's books.


"It is worthy to exchange a different book with one a person has read," said Li Meng, a woman in her 30s, who was exchanging a book on Tuesday. "The library is small, but each book has its own value."


Similar lending libraries have began emerging in other Chinese cities such as Xiamen, Nanjing and Zhenjiang.


At a residential community in Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province, a "Bird's Nest" library now has books exchanged every day. It was set up in July by Wang Jia, Communist Party chief of the community.


Instead of letting hundreds of books in the community library "lay sleeping", it is a good idea to put the books near the houses of residents, said Wang.


Five more such mini-libraries were installed in the community in September.


The first "Bird Nest" library appeared in Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province in January this year.


MADRID, April 19 (Xinhua) -- Italian champions Juventus qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League with a 0-0 draw in Barcelona's Camp Nou Stadium on Wednesday night.


Barca coach Luis Enrique had said before the game that his side would attempt to overturn the 3-0 deficit from the first leg until the very last minute of the return leg in front of their own fans and he was true to his word.


However, Juventus are experts in defending a lead in Europe and despite Barca's best efforts in an intense 90 minutes even players of the quality of Leo Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar were unable to break down Juventus' black and white wall.


The game kicked off with a great atmosphere in the Camp Nou Stadium and with Barcelona's starting 11 with Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets back in the starting 11.


As expected Barca looked to take the game to their rivals, who were happy to sit in their own half and look to hit Barca on the break.


The visitors started impressively making sure Barca were unable to settle on the ball, while the home side looked to progress down the Juventus right which was defended by former Barca right back, Dani Alves.


Messi was again the heart of the danger for Barca, shooting inches wide in the 19th minute and then seeing a shot parried by Gianluigi Buffon, before hitting the rebound into the side netting, but on the whole Barca were not playing with the clarity they needed.


There were also moments of tension after Messi fell heavily following a challenge in midfield and Neymar reacted with a challenge which earned him a booking that means he will miss Barca's next European match.


The second half kicked off with Messi firing over the bar and seeing a curling shot deflected just wide of the Juventus post, while at the other end in what was becoming an increasingly open game Juan Cuadrado saw a shot go just wide after an error from Alba and had another saved by Ter Stegen on his near post.


With half an hour remaining and his side still needing three goals to force extra time, Barca coach Luis Enrique replaced midfielder Ivan Rakitic with striker Paco Alcacer, but the fact was that most of his side's efforts continued to be from outside of the penalty area.


Barcelona kept on trying, with Messi again going close and Sergi Roberto shooting just wide as to their immense credit Barcelona kept on pushing for a miracle which looked increasingly unlikely with every passing minute.

The woman was arrested in Bondeni area， with detonators， explosive boosters， eight mobile phones and several SIM cards found in her house. The police said she may have been planning a terror attack.


The mobile phones and SIM cards have been handed to a team of Cyber Crime Unit to assist in the investigation and arrest more suspects operating the alleged terrorist network.


Officers said she was the wife of the main suspect behind the 2014 attack near Nyali Reef Beach Hotel in the county.


Police said they would find out whether the suspect intended to smuggle the explosives to Shimo la Tewa prison where her husband Nassir Ali Skanda is being held.


Skanda and his accomplice are accused of committing acts of terrorism at Nyali Reef Beach Hotel in Mombasa by detonating an improvised explosive device and causing property damages in May 2014.


The two used samples of chemicals to trigger explosives through a remote-controlled device or a mobile phone signal.


Senior ATPU officer told Xinhua in Mombasa that Skanda is an expert in assembling improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and th.
