JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel says it's tightening security in major cities and in the West Bank following two deadly Palestinian attacks. Police say yesterday, a Palestinian from the West Bank stabbed to death a 20-year-old Israeli soldier at a crowded train station in Tel Aviv. And another Palestinian stabbed three people at a bus stop next to a West Bank Settlement, killing an Israeli woman and wounding two others.
BEIJING (AP) — A senior Iranian negotiator says, "we are not in a position to say that we have made progress" in nuclear talks with the West. Two days of tough talks in Oman between Secretary of State John Kerry, European Union policy adviser Catherine Ashton and Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif have failed to make major headway toward a final deal to limit Tehran's nuclear program. U.S. State Department officials describe the meetings as "tough, direct and serious," but they hold out hope that a deal can be secured before talks expire Nov. 24.
WASHINGTON (AP) — An Army trauma expert whose research played a role in how battlefield treatment decisions are made has quietly been forced to resign after admitting she did not earn the doctoral degree she had been claiming or even the master's degree on her resume. Emails obtained by The Associated Press show that managers at the Army Institute of Surgical Research in San Antonio initially rebuffed the whistleblower who tried to tell them about the degree fraud. Amy N. Apodaca ultimately quit in January after her bosses confronted her.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Negotiations are expected to continue today between West Coast dock workers and their employers on a contract that expired in July. A shortage of truck beds to carry containers from dockside yards has caused serious congestion for months at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Longshoremen have continued working, but shipping lines and port terminal operators say that over the past week, dockworkers have slowed down — just as the last shipments of holiday goods arrive.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police in Philadelphia say a man likely will face charges of reckless endangerment and illegal dumping after driving his estranged wife's Corvette into a river. Police say the man went to his wife's northeast Philadelphia home and took her 1990 red Corvette, and just after 4 p.m. Monday, police got a report of a car in the river. Marine units were sent down to make sure no one was inside and the car later was raised from 30 feet of water. Police say the couple is going through a divorce.
