NEW YORK (AP) — Police in New York City are searching for the man who fatally shot the leader of a mosque and a friend as they left afternoon prayers yesterday. Surveillance video shows they were approached from behind by a man in a dark polo shirt and shorts who shot them and then fled with the gun still in his hand. Police haven't established a motive. They say both men were wearing traditional religious attire and one was carrying about $1,000 in cash but the money was not taken.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Clear blue water is greeting synchronized swimmers and divers this morning in Rio, after officials worked through the night to replace murky green water. It took some doing, since the pool holds nearly 1 million gallons. Organizers have insisted there are no health risks posed by the discolored water, but it made it hard to see underwater — something that's especially important in synchronized swimming.
