| Has London's Victorian serial killer Jack the Ripper finally been identified? |
|
 Jack the Ripper, a serial killer who terrorised London in the 1880s, has finally been identified from DNA evidence from the blood-soaked shawl of one of his victims, according to a new book. Author Russell Edwards identifies 23-year-old Polish immigrant and hairdresser Aaron Kosminski as the notorious killer, suspected of the gruesome murders of at least five women in 1888. In his book "Naming Jack the Ripper" which is released on Tuesday, Edwards, a businessman from North London, linked Kosminski to the crimes via DNA found on a shawl taken by a policeman from the murder scene of the Ripper's fourth victim, Catherine Eddowes. The Ripper gained infamy with a killing spree in London's East End in the late 19th century, targeting female prostitutes around the then-impoverished Whitechapel district.

The United States circulated a draft resolution late on Monday, obtained by Reuters, to the 15-member Security Council and hopes it can be unanimously adopted at a high-level meeting chaired by U.S. The draft resolution is under Chapter 7 of the U.N.
