KHARKIV, Ukraine (AP) — Two more military aircraft carrying remains of victims from the Malaysian plane disaster have arrived in the Netherlands, while Australian and Dutch diplomats joined to promote a plan for a U.N. team to secure the crash site. It's controlled by pro-Russian rebels. Human remains continue to be found a full week after the plane went down.

ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) — An Air Algerie jetliner carrying 116 people has vanished in a rainstorm over northern Mali. French officials say it has probably crashed, which would make it the third major international aviation disaster in a week. French fighter jets, U.N. peacekeepers and others are hunting for signs of wreckage. Scattered separatist violence in the remote region may hamper the search and any eventual investigation into what happened. Nearly half of the passengers were French.
FLORENCE, Ariz. (AP) — A transcript of an Arizona emergency court hearing reveals that state officials assured a judge that Joseph Rudolph Wood was comatose and not feeling pain at any point during his nearly two-hour execution yesterday. The hearing included a defense lawyer and an attorney for the state. They discussed Wood's brain activity and heart rate, questioned if he was feeling any pain and talked about whether it would have done any good to stop the execution while it was so far along.
