VIENNA (AP) — U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is welcoming implementation of the nuclear deal between Iran and six major powers as "a significant milestone."

WASHINGTON (AP) — A man who was allegedly attempting to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State group and a man accused of helping him are in federal custody.

HONOLULU (AP) — There's still no sign of the 12 U.S. Marines who were aboard two Marine Crops helicopters that crashed during nighttime training Thursday off the coast of Hawaii's Oahu Island. Teams are expanding their search to include Oahu's western coast in addition to the north shore. Officials say high surf is dispersing the debris and complicating the search and rescue effort.
