NEW YORK (AP) — Officials say a runway at LaGuardia Airport had just been plowed before a Delta Airlines jet skidded and crashed through a chain-link fence, its nose coming to rest on a berm at the edge of Flushing Bay.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Authorities in South Korea say the man who's in custody in today's knife attack on the U.S. ambassador has a long history of anti-U.S. protests.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A new Food and Drug Administration study shows little evidence of antibiotic contamination in milk after surveying almost 2,000 dairy farms. The agency in 2012 took samples of raw milk on the farms and tested them for 31 drugs, almost all of them antibiotics. Results released by the agency today show that less than 1 percent of the total samples contained evidence of illegal drug residue. Antibiotics and other drugs can end up in milk when they are used on dairy cows to keep them healthy.
