Iranian state television says female ninjas suing over alleged defamation
From Press TV:
A group of female Iranian martial artists have taken legal action against Britain’s Reuters news agency for branding them assassins, Press TV reports.
Last month, Reuters showed a number of Iranian girls training martial arts in a city near Tehran, claiming Iran was training more than 3,000 female ninjas to kill any possible foreign invaders. The distorted Reuters report was picked up by other British media outlets.
“At this point, there is not much they can do to undo the damage… That is why we are taking legal action… We want the whole world to know that Reuters has lied about us,” the Iranian ninja added.

Medical marijuana delivery man attacked by ninjas
From the Associated Press:
West Covina police say two people in ninja costumes robbed a medical marijuana delivery man but it’s not clear how much money or marijuana was taken.
Police Lt. Alan Henley told the San Gabriel Valley Tribune the victim had just made a delivery to a patient on South Sunset Avenue and was headed to his car when the pair confronted him and chased him with batons.
The lieutenant says he knows of no other ninja-style thefts recently.
