WASHINGTON (AP) — The Marine Corps says a corporal who was declared a deserter 10 years ago after allegedly faking his own kidnapping in Iraq has turned himself in to U.S. authorities. Wassef Ali Hassoun is being moved today to Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, where the Marines will determine whether to court-martial him. In 2004 Hassoun was about to face the military equivalent of a grand jury hearing when he disappeared again during a Christmas visit to Utah to see relatives.

RENO, Nev. (AP) — A creepy, cannibalistic bug that infested much of Nevada nine years ago may be making another drought-related assault on the state.

The insects are named after Utah's Mormon settlers whose crops were devastated by the bugs in 1848.
