Canada body-parts murder victim identified
OTTAWA, July 23 (UPI) -- A longstanding dispute between Canada and Denmark over a tiny arctic island deepened this week when Canada's defense minister set foot on Hans Island.
Bill Graham took the steps onto the island Wednesday in a symbolic move to help stake Canada's claim to the area when and if the dispute comes to a head, the Toronto Globe and Mail reported Saturday.
The newspaper said Canadian military personnel a week earlier had landed on the island that's only slightly larger than a football field. They planted a Canadian flag and built an Inuit stone marker.
