Shown here are Federal Premium hollow point bullets.APRepublican Rep. Jason
Chaffetz said Thursday that the Department of Homeland Security is using
roughly 1,000 rounds of ammunition more per person than the U.S. Army,
as he and other lawmakers sharply questioned DHS officials on their "massive"
bullet buys."It is entirely ... inexplicable why the Department of Homeland
Security needs so much ammunition," Chaffetz, R-Utah, said at a hearing.The
hearing itself was unusual, as questions about the department's ammunition
purchases until recently had bubbled largely under the radar -- on blogs
and in the occasional news article. But as the Department of Homeland
Security found itself publicly defending the purchases, lawmakers gradually
showed more interest in the issue.Democratic Rep. John Tierney, D-Mass.,
at the opening of the hearing, ridiculed the concerns as "conspiracy theories"
which have "no place" in the committee room.But Republicans said the purchases
raise "serious" questions about waste and accountability.Chaffetz, who chairs
one of the House oversight subcommittees holding the hearing Thursday, revealed
that the department currently has more than 260 million rounds in stock.
He said the department bought more than 103 million rounds in 2012
and used 116 million that same year -- among roughly 70,000 agents.Comparing
that with the small-arms purchases procured by the U.S. Army, he said
the DHS is churning through between 1,300
SANTIAGO, Chile Chilean police have arrested four people accused of burning
a baby alive in a ritual.Police said Thursday that they burned the
days-old baby in a bonfire in November because the leader of the
rite believed that the end of the world was near and the
toddler was the antichrist.The mother of the baby allegedly had approved
the sacrifice.Authorities say the 12-member sect was formed in 2005 and
was led by 35-year-old Ramon Gustavo Castillo, who remains at large.Police
say Castillo was last seen traveling to Peru to buy ayahuasca, a
hallucinogenic brew plant that he used to control the members of the
rite.

while the U.S. Army goes through roughly 350 rounds per soldier.He noted
that is "roughly 1,000 rounds more per person.""Their officers use what
seems to be an exorbitant amount of ammunition," he said.Nick Nayak, chief
procurement officer for the Department of Homeland Security, did not challenge
Chaffetz's numbers.However, Nayak sought to counter what he described as
several misconceptions about the bullet buys.Despite reports that the department
was trying to buy up to 1.6 billion rounds over five years,
he said that is not true. He later clarified that the number
is closer to 750 million.He said the department, on average, buys roughly
100 million rounds per year.He also said claims that the department is
stockpiling ammo are "simply not true." Further, he countered claims that
the purchases are helping create broader ammunition shortages in the U.S.The
department has long said it needs the bullets for agents in training
and on duty, and buys in bulk to save money.While Democrats likened
concerns about the purchases to conspiracy theories, Republicans raised
concern about the sheer cost of the ammunition."This is not about conspiracy
theories, this is about good government," Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said.Rep.
Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who chairs the full Oversight and Government Reform
Committee, said he suspects rounds are being stockpiled, and then either

The U.S. and South Korea are extending for two years their current
civilian nuclear agreement and postponing a contentious decision on whether
Seoul will be allowed to reprocess spent fuel as it seeks to
expand its atomic energy industry.Wednesday's announcement is a setback
to South Korea's new leader, Park Geun-hye, who had made revision of
the 39-year-old treaty one of her top election pledges, but it alleviates
a potential disagreement between the allies when Park visits Washington
in two weeks to meet with President Obama.State Department spokesman Patrick
Ventrell said the extension will provide more time for the two governments
to complete the complex negotiations on a successor agreement that will
recommence in June."These are very technical talks, and both parties felt
that we needed more time," he told reporters.South Korea is the world's
fifth-largest nuclear energy producer and is planning to expand domestic
use of nuclear power and exports of nuclear reactors. But its radioactive
waste storage is filling up, so it wants to be able to
reprocess spent plutonium. It also wants to be able enrich uranium, a
process that uranium must undergo to become a viable nuclear fuel. Currently,
South Korea has to get countries such as the U.S. and France
to do enrichment for it.Revising the agreement is a sensitive matter as
the same technologies can also be used to develop nuclear weapons. Washington
has historically opposed allowing repr
