DANNEMORA, N.Y. (AP) — A tailoring shop instructor charged with helping two convicted killers escape from a maximum security prison in New York, near the Canadian border, is due back in court today. It's also day 10 of the search for the escapees. Prosecutors say Joyce Mitchell had agreed to be the getaway driver but backed out. District Attorney Andrew Wylie says there's no evidence the men had a "Plan B," so they still might be nearby.
BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) — There's disagreement over just exactly who was killed in a U.S airstrike in eastern Libya. The U.S. says it killed an al-Qaida-linked leader charged in an attack on a gas plant in Algeria in 2013 that killed at least 35 hostages, including three Americans. But an Islamist with ties to the Libyan militants says the dead are four suspects in the 2012 Benghazi attack.
WASHINGTON (AP) — New research suggests return trips to the emergency room for the same ailment aren't that uncommon. One surprise is that people often wind up in a different ER. The new research looking at six states suggests patients should be pushy about follow-up care. Study co-author Dr. R. Adams Dudley of the University of California, San Francisco says the health system can't be counted on to "connect the dots." The research is in Annals of Internal Medicine.
TBILISI, Georgia (AP) — Rescue workers in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, say the search continues today for people and dangerous zoo animals missing after severe flooding. The zoo's director says none of the 12 dead were killed by escaped animals, including lions, tigers, bears, wolves and a hippopotamus. Some, including the hippo, have been caught, others were shot by police and a few are still missing.
BHAKTAPUR, Nepal (AP) — Nepal says it's open for tourist business again following earthquakes in April and May.
