Flights going in and coming out of Milan's Linate airport were suspended for three hours Sunday so staff and volunteers could catch hares and rabbits, which have proliferated to such a degree that they've caused problems with takeoffs, landings and radar systems. According to AP, Nicoletta Angioni, spokeswoman for SEA, the company that operates Milan's airports, said, "There are always hares at the airport. The problem is that lately there were too many, and they cause problems with the radar and sensors that monitor the airport. "

A 40-year-old armless and one legged man, who led authorities on a high speed vehicle chase, has been arrested by police. It was not the first time Michael Francis Wiley eluded police on Tuesday as he was also held for a similar crime in 1998 when he led police on a 120 mph chase. According to AP reports, the recent incident took place on Tuesday when Wiley sped off in a Ford Explorer when police approached him at a convenience store. The officers later decided to call off the chase after eight minutes because they did not want to put others in danger.
