  • Autopsy results reportedly indicate Trayvon Martin suffered injuries to knuckles

    Autopsy results reportedly indicate that 17-year-old Trayvon Martin had injuries to his knuckles when he died, which could support George Zimmerman's claim that the unarmed teenager assaulted him before he was fatally shot. WFTV.com reports that a medical examiner found two injuries on Martin's body: the fatal gunshot wound to the chest and broken skin on his knuckles. The autopsy results surface as court records indicate that Zimmerman had a pair of black eyes, a fractured nose and two cuts to the back of his head after the fatal shooting on Feb. 26. A message left with Zimmerman's attorney,…

    The head of Rio de Janeiro's regional engineering agency says the Olympic city has at least 100 abandoned buildings that run the risk of collapse. Agostinho Guerreiro is president of Rio state's Crea engineering agency. He says the at-risk buildings are mostly concentrated in older districts, such as the city's colonial downtown. Others dot residential neighborhoods, mostly in the poorer northern district. Guerreiro's comments Wednesday came a day after part of a historic two-story building collapsed in downtown Rio. No one was injured in the incident, but 17 people died in the January…

  • FBI Director Mueller: Preliminary investigation of JPMorgan under way

    16 May 2012 | 2:08 pm
    FBI Director Robert Mueller said Wednesday the bureau has launched a preliminary investigation of JPMorgan Chase & Co. following a $2 billion trading loss at the bank. Mueller's comment at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing was the first on-the-record confirmation of the probe. On Tuesday, a law enforcement official said that the FBI's New York office is heading an inquiry into the JPMorgan loss. "All I can say is we've opened up a preliminary investigation," Mueller told the Senate panel. Mueller said that opening a preliminary investigation "depends on a number of factors," which he…

  • Crews working to prevent Arizona blaze from crossing fire line near mountain town

    16 May 2012 | 2:05 pm
    Officials working to keep a wildfire near a historic Arizona mining town from spreading are telling any residents still in their homes to leave now. High winds are pushing the blaze away from the mountain town of Crown King, a community of mostly summer homes about 85 miles north of Phoenix. But fire incident spokeswoman Michelle Fidler said winds could shift and push the fire back into the community where it started. "Our official word is it's time to go," she said Wednesday. Road access also is a concern. Fewer than 10 residents remain in their homes, Yavapai County sheriff's spokesman…

  • Homebuilding, factory output gains show economy may be strengthening after early spring slump

    16 May 2012 | 1:59 pm
    Maybe the U.S. economy's strength this winter wasn't just weather-related after all. Home construction is near a three-year high. And factory output has risen in three of the year's first four months. The data released Wednesday suggest growth in the April-June quarter is off to a good start, helped by falling gas prices and solid hiring gains. Fears of a spring slump are easing. "It's all very encouraging," said Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics. "Things look good at the moment." Builders broke ground in April at a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 717,000 homes, the…

  • San Diego jury convicts 2 of murders linked to Mexican drug gang; victims dissolved in acid

    16 May 2012 | 1:53 pm
    A jury convicted two men Wednesday on first-degree murder charges in the deaths of two men whose bodies were dissolved in acid for a Mexican drug gang. Defendants Jose Olivera Beritan and David Valencia could face maximum terms of life in prison without parole when they are sentenced. Authorities say the June 2007 killings marked an unusually gruesome display of drug violence crossing the border from Mexico to the United States. The strangled corpses were placed in 55-gallon barrels of acid heated by propane on a ranch in San Diego County. More than two years after the killings, a witness led…

  • Colombian bomb investigators seek young man who fled

    16 May 2012 | 2:13 pm
    Colombian investigators are seeking a man between 17 and 20 years old they suspect is the bomber who killed two bodyguards of a conservative former interior minister and injured 39 people in a busy commercial district of Bogota. A police report seen by The Associated Press says the man was bleeding from an arm when a taxi driver picked him up in the area of Tuesday's blast. It says the man told the cabbie, "Get me out of here" but the driver did not want blood in his taxi and insisted he get out. The government has not ascribed blame for the bombing although there is speculation Colombia's…

  • Powerful Amazon tributary Rio Negro hits record high after weeks of rains

    16 May 2012 | 2:09 pm
    A mighty tributary of the Amazon River has hit a record high level after weeks of heavy rains. Brazil's geographical service says on its website that the Rio Negro crested at 97.70 feet (29.78 meters) Wednesday in the jungle city of Manaus. That's just above the previous record set in 2009, when the river hit 97.67 feet (29.77 meters). Records have been kept on the level of the powerful river since 1902. The river's waters are flooding the center of the city of 1.6 million people. Manaus is located in Amazonas state, where 83 percent of the counties are in a state of emergency because of…

  • Syrian leader says terrorists are behind unrest

    16 May 2012 | 2:09 pm
    In his first interview since December, Syrian President Bashar Assad insisted Tuesday his regime is fighting back against foreign mercenaries who want to overthrow him, not innocent Syrians aspiring for democracy in a yearlong uprising. The interview with Russian TV showed Assad is still standing his ground, despite widespread international condemnation over his deadly crackdown on dissent. "There are foreign mercenaries, some of them still alive," Assad said in an interview broadcast Wednesday on Russian state news channel Rossiya-24. "They are being detained and we are preparing to show…

  • Greek court official appointed head of interim govt until next national vote, expected June 17

    16 May 2012 | 1:56 pm
    A senior judge was sworn in Wednesday to head Greece's caretaker government for a month as the debt-crippled country lurches through a political crisis that threatens its membership in the 17-nation eurozone. The political uncertainty is worrying Greece's international creditors as well as Greeks themselves, who have withdrawn hundreds of millions of euros from banks since the May 6 election. Council of State head Panagiotis Pikrammenos, 67, was appointed earlier Wednesday to head a government that will lack the mandate to make any binding commitments until a new election, which is expected…
