WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration says it's "deeply disturbed" about reports of an airstrike on a funeral hall in Yemen. A U.N. official said earlier Saturday that a Saudi-led coalition airstrike struck the funeral hall at a time when it was packed with thousands of mourners in Yemen's capital. This official said more than 500 others were injured in one of the deadliest single attacks of the country's civil war.
WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) — Hurricane Matthew is still wreaking havoc on much of the East Coast and flooding inland areas. It has dumped more than a foot of rain on North Carolina in a deluge that flooded homes and businesses as far as 100 miles inland. What will go down as one of the most potent hurricanes on record was blamed for at least 10 deaths in the U.S. and hundreds more in Haiti. As Matthew made its slow exit off the East Coast, dozens of people — including a woman and her small child — had to be rescued from their cars as life-threatening flash floods surprised many in North Carolina.
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli police and emergency services says a Palestinian motorist launched a shooting spree near the Israeli police headquarters in Jerusalem Sunday, wounding eight people, two of them seriously, before being shot dead. Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said the attacker sped toward a busy stop of the city's light rail and opened fire, seriously wounding a woman waiting there. He then continued driving and shot another woman who was seated in her car before speeding off toward an Arab neighborhood in east Jerusalem. Samri said police officers on motorcycles chased the assailant, who eventually stepped out of his vehicle and opened fire at them. A police officer was critically wounded in the shootout.
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — An effective way to get humanitarian relief to civilians in the besieged Syrian city of Aleppo appears to be out of reach for now. Rival resolutions backed by the West and Russia have been defeated in the U.N. Security Council. One resolution from France demanded an immediate halt to the bombing campaign by Russia and Syria. The Russian resolution called for a separation of moderate and extremist forces in Syria.
