NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Heated exchanges between Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz dominated much of tonight's Republican presidential debate in South Carolina. Trump said the Texas senator has a "big question mark" hanging over his candidacy given his birth in Canada to an American mother. Trump also said Cruz's comment that he has "New York values" was an insult to the volunteers who responded to 9/11.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A tightening race is apparently increasing the friction between the campaigns for Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. The Sanders campaign has released an ad suggesting Clinton wouldn't be tough enough on Wall Street. Team Clinton is calling that an attack ad and a violation of Sanders' pledge to only make nice.
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Authorities in Indonesia say a group of terrorists used hand grenades, homemade bombs and firearms to carry out an attack in downtown Jakarta. But of the seven people killed, five of them were the attackers themselves. Indonesia is the world's largest-Muslim majority country. Backers of the extremist group Islamic State have claimed responsibility.
MIAMI (AP) — Defense Secretary Ash Carter says it appears a navigational error caused Navy boats to stray into Iranian waters in the Persian Gulf where they were detained Tuesday night by Iran. He told Univision that the sailors were not on a covert mission and were simply making their way from Kuwait to Bahrain, both on the western coast of the Gulf. Defense officials say it remains unclear if the crew made a mistake or if the navigational equipment was to blame for the incident.
MUNFORD, Tenn. (AP) — Still no word on who holds the three winning tickets from last night's Powerball drawing -- but a spokesman for the California lottery says it makes sense to wait before coming forward. He says a windfall like this is the start of a "new journey" -- and that the winners should line up lawyers, accountants and financial planners first. A California 7-Eleven sold one of the three winners in the $1.6 billion drawing. The other two were sold in Florida and Tennessee.
