WITH a machete at his throat and a gun at his head, Mike Farmer noticed the kid holding the firearm was shaking – they were scared, and that made the situation even more dangerous.

It was 2011 in Kenya and he'd been beaten, abducted and driven into the jungle by thieves who knew he had cash – lots of it. That's because Mike, 48, is a meteorite hunter from Tucson, Arizona. He sells his extraterrestrial minerals to amateur astronomers and billionaire businessmen alike, all of whom want to get their hands on a tangible emissary from outer space. A fireball over the skies of Britain last Sunday alone could have scattered thousands of rocks in the fields below.

TEN of Britain’s most dangerous convicted terrorists are hoping to be free after lockdown. The fanatics are bidding for early release on parole. They include Parviz Khan, 50, from Birmingham, jailed for life in 2008 for plotting to kidnap a Muslim British soldier and behead him. Jawad Akbar, 37, from Crawley, West Sussex, has had his case referred to the Parole Board. He was jailed for life in 2007 for his part in a plot to bomb shopping centres, clubs and the gas network.
