Ahmed Abu Khattala is suspected of being a "key leader" of the deadly 2012 Benghazi attack and is on his way to face trial in the U.S.

Hospital workers say the death toll likely will rise.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A bill that would have made California the first state in the nation to require warning labels on sodas and other sugary drinks was effectively killed today. The measure failed on a 7-8 legislative committee vote. It needed 10 votes to pass.

TORONTO (AP) — Canada's government has approved a controversial pipeline proposal that would bring oil to the Pacific Coast for shipment to Asia. It's a major step in the country's efforts to diversify its oil exports if it can overcome fierce opposition from environmental and aboriginal groups.

NEW YORK (AP) — Don't stick this on an envelope by mistake. A 1-cent postage stamp from a 19th century British colony in South America has become the world's most valuable stamp — again. Sotheby's says the 1856 British Guiana One-Cent Magenta sold at auction in New York for $9.5 million. It's the fourth time it has broken the auction record for a single stamp in its long history.
