MEXICO CITY (AP) — A widespread manhunt has failed to turn up any trace of drug trafficker Joaquin Guzman, who escaped from a Mexican prison Saturday night. Guzman slipped down a shaft from his prison cell's shower and disappeared into a sophisticated mile-long tunnel with ventilation, lighting and a motorcycle apparently used to move dirt. The escape route apparently was built over the last year right under authorities' noses into a supposedly escape-proof lockup. Before his escape, Guzman had been captured just last year.

Tunisia is trying to defuse criticism from Britain and others that it hasn't done enough to protect tourists. Islamic extremists killed 60 people in attacks on a beach resort and major museum in recent months. The interior minister says the al-Qaida-linked terror group was plotting attacks in Tunisia and sending Tunisians to fight abroad.
