BRUSSELS (AP) — A Belgian prosecutor says a Brussels apartment they searched in December likely served as a bomb factory for the Paris attacks that killed 130 the month before. The prosecutor says in the apartment they found three suspected suicide belts, bomb-making equipment, explosive residue and a fingerprint from terror suspect and fugitive Salah Abdeslam (AHB'-dehs-lahm).
PARIS (AP) —Paris prosecutors say investigators are unsure of the true identity of the man who tried to attack a Paris police station with a butcher knife and a fake explosives vest on Thursday, the anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo attacks. They say the man carried a paper marked with the Muslim declaration of faith, an emblem of the Islamic State group, as well as his name, and gave his nationality as Tunisian. He was shot and killed by police.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — This dime is not just a dime a dozen. An 1894-S dime struck at the San Francisco Mint sold last night in Tampa, Florida, for just under $2 million. Only 24 such dimes were made, and only nine are likely to still exist. David Hall, co-founder of Professional Coin Grading Service of Santa Ana, California, says so few of the dimes were made at the San Francisco Mint because the country was in a recession in 1894 and more dimes weren't needed.
