A Mongolian neo-Nazi group has rebranded itself as an environmentalist organization fighting pollution by foreign-owned mines, seeking legitimacy as it sends Swastika-wearing members to check mining permits.
Tsagaan Khass, or White Swastika, has only 100-plus members but it is one of several groups expanding a wave of resource nationalism as foreign firms seek to exploit the mineral wealth of the vast country, landlocked between Russia and China.
From an office behind a lingerie store in the Mongolian capital, the shaven-headed, jackbooted Tsagaan Khass storm-troopers launch bizarre raids on mining projects, demanding paperwork or soil samples to be studied for contaminants.

Dog owners who are tired of playing fetch with their pet pooches can now sit back and relax - as the latest doggie gadget can do it for you. The contraption dubbed the iFetch will launch tennis balls for dogs to catch and bring back without any human interaction. The device works by using a special shoot that will throw a ball between 10ft and 30ft in the air from a hole at the front of the machine. Once canines have grabbed it they simply need to bring it back and place it in a compartment at the back for the iFetch to launch once again. The gadget was invented by Denny Hamill and his grandson Grant, 19, who were becoming tired of chucking balls every few minutes for their poodle Prancer.

Dead fish fill Mexico reservoir
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2013/07/320.jpg
Tens of thousands of dead fish have washed up on the banks of a Mexican reservoir, amid allegations that a local firm contaminated the water.
Local Mayor Emeterio Corona said the firm had dumped hundreds of litres of molasses into a canal that flows into the reservoir in Jalisco state.
The fish had been starved of oxygen and died from asphyxiation, he said.
Local fishermen warned that their livelihoods had been put at risk by the disaster.
Some 180 families were reported to live off fishing on the reservoir. Images from the scene showed piles of carp and sea bream being gathered by local fishermen.
Mr Corona, mayor of Acatlan de Juarez, did not name the firm involved but said they had acted illegally.
"The environment and the sustenance of everybody [in the community] was damaged," he said.
"What will they live off? I'm outraged. This is a tragedy."
