THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — A Dutch drug addiction and mental health institute warned users on Friday about potentially lethal ecstasy pills shaped to look like the head of U.S. President Donald Trump.
The respected Trimbos Institute said that several of the pills have been handed in recently at a network of centers that test drugs for users before they take them.
"Absolutely do not use these pills," the institute warned.
It released a photo of the pills that have a depiction of Trump's head on one side and on the other side "NL" and "Trump" stamped into the surface either side of a vertical line. One of the pills has a green face and another is yellow.
The institute warned in a " Red Alert " published on its website and social media that they contain a high concentration of a chemical called PMMA, or para-methoxymethamfetamine, that is similar to MDMA, the active ingredient in ecstasy pills.

A court in the Netherlands has sentenced a Dutch-Rwandan man to life for his involvement in the 1994 genocide in Rwanda.
The 66-year-old, named only as Eugene N, was accused, among other things, of throwing a hand grenade into a crowd of Tutsis who were seeking shelter in a stadium. He was convicted of war crimes and the crime of genocide, having acted with "genocidal intent", the judge said.
Rwanda had sought his extradition in 2014 but the authorities in the Netherlands then launched their own investigation into N, who had become a Dutch citizen.
In 100 days in April 1994, an estimated 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and politically moderate Hutus people were killed by Hutu extremists.
The court in The Hague heard N held an authoritative position in the community at the time of the massacre, overseeing around 1,000 people in Mbazi in southern Rwanda.

Tommy Fury has faced criticism after questioning Kim Kardashian's reported reliance on a large childcare team before acknowledging that he and Molly-Mae Hague also receive help raising their children.
The boxer discussed Kardashian's household with his father, John Fury, on the BBC video podcast What the Fury?!. Their conversation began with a media claim that Kardashian has "10 nannies and mannies" helping care for the four children she shares with Kanye West.
John argued that people who cannot look after their children themselves should not have them, while Tommy questioned parents who leave their children with childcare staff throughout the day.
Tommy then acknowledged that he and Hague have help with their three-year-old daughter Bambi and infant son Midas.
During the BBC discussion, Tommy read out a claim stating that Kardashian had "10 nannies and mannies raising Kim Kardashian's kids." "If you can't look after these kids yourself, don't have them," John responded.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — The United States, the United Kingdom and a dozen other Western and Asian countries reasserted on Sunday that China's expansive claims in the South China Sea are illegal based on a 2016 arbitration ruling.
A joint statement issued by the 14 nations said they rejected "destabilizing" actions in the disputed waters that threaten regional stability. The 27-nation European Union released a separate statement, reaffirming the ruling as a "landmark decision in the peaceful settlement of disputes."
The statements commemorated a July 12, 2016, arbitration ruling by a tribunal established in The Hague under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, saying the landmark decision is "is final and legally binding."
China reiterated Sunday that the ruling was "null and void and has no binding force" and Beijing "neither accepts nor recognizes it."
China refused to join the arbitration initiated by the Philippines in 2013 after a tense standoff in the contested waters a year earlier that ended with Beijing effectively seizing a disputed shoal.

What we don't know about the hantavirus outbreak as the cruise ship nears Spanish territory

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Countries around the world are preparing to deal with the 140 passengers and crew members on board a hantavirus-stricken cruise ship headed for the Canary Islands.
The vessel is expected to reach the Spanish island of Tenerife, off the coast of West Africa, early Sunday morning.
At least three passengers have died, and several other people have been infected.
Hantavirus is usually spread by the inhalation of contaminated rodent droppings. Symptoms usually show between one and eight weeks after exposure. The World Health Organization says the risk to the wider public from the outbreak is low, but the Andes virus implicated in the cruise ship outbreak may be able to spread between people in rare cases.
Authorities and the cruise operator have been providing updates, but some key information is still lacking.
