|

A US man has been killed by a shark as he swam in the Pacific Ocean off Solana Beach, 14 miles north of San Diego.
The 66-year-old man, who has yet to be identified, was swimming some 150 yards (137m) offshore when he was attacked.
He was carried ashore and taken to the Fletcher Cove Park lifeguard station, but was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officials cleared all beaches within a 17-mile radius of the attack. The shark is still in the area and beaches will be closed for 72 hours.
The shark was "probably" a Great White Shark, officials said.
Shark attacks are extremely rare: since records began in the 1950s, there have been only 11 fatal shark attacks off the California coast, according to the state's Department of Fish and Game.
Worldwide, there were 71 shark attacks recorded last year, of which only one was fatal.
