CBS News Intelligence offic af1 ials are interrogating a suspected al Qaeda leader Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai -- known by his alias, Abu Anas al-Libi. After 15 years on the run, the suspect in the bombings of two American embassies in Africa was captured by American special forces. The operation was one of two raids carried out over the weekend, in Libya and Somalia.Kerry: Capture of terror suspect al-Libi in Libya legalLibya af1 militants vow revenge after al-Libi captureThe capture is a big deal , according to CBS News senior correspondent John Miller, a former FBI assistant director, because of the intelligence he may have about the current inner workings of al Qaeda, as well as what he represents to the U.S. in their search for terror suspects. Miller said, He may have very good intelligence about what is going on inside al Qaeda s command in control now. He also may have intelligence that relates to what s going on in al Qaeda s affiliates in Libya. Why is that so important If you look at the Islamist militant group Ansar al-Sharia in Bengha adidas samba schuhe zi -- or groups like that that are extensions of al Qaeda, they re the people behind the Benghazi consulate attack that killed the U.S. ambassador, so that s a potential place to mine. Miller added, But the important part is -- push the intelligence aside.

BAY CITY, Mich. -- Bay City officials planned to continue their adidas yeezy search Monday for the source of a water main break that s been draining 10 million gallons of water a day and air force 1 has prompted water-use restrictions for the city of 35,000 and the surrounding county.Bob Dion, the city s water distribution supervisor, said Sunday night that crews were unable to find the source and would regroup Monday, The Bay City Times reported. It s frustrating, Dion said. Trust me, it s frustrating. The city has declared a water-use emergency affecting most of Bay County, urging residents and businesses to avoid all unnecessary water use. It said Sunday that it shouldn t run out of water, however, if people are conservative about water use. So if residents really conserve water for only basic needs, we can get through this, said Bay City Manager Rick Finn.

Public works Director Dave Harran has said the city s water reserves could be empty Monday unless the location of the leak is found and crews can halt it.On Sunday, the city said it was taking in water from the Saginaw Bay at a greater rate than the leak was discharging water.The search for the break has been extensive. Firefighters from neighboring townships drove Bay County roads in the hopes of finding flowing water. A state police helicopter surveyed farm fields and farmers were asked to check their fields for any unusual water. Crews also have been insp Gwnp Knife-wielding men attack train station in China
Investigators of the U.N. oil-for-food program stanley becher said Tuesday they are urgently reviewing new information that suggests U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan may have known more than he revealed about a contract that was awarded to the company that employed his son.The December 1998 memo from Michael Wilson, then a vice president of Cotecna Inspections S.A., mentions brief discussions with Annan and his entourage at a summit in Paris in 1998 about Cotecna s bid for a $10 million-a-year contract under oil-for-food.If accurate, the memo could contradict a major finding of the Independent Inquiry Committee mdash; that there wasn t enough evidence to show that Annan knew about efforts by Cotecna, which employed his son, Kojo, to win the contract.

WASHINGTON -- U.S.-backed Iraqi forces are close to tearing the city of Mosul out of ISIS stranglehold. Once they do, the sprawling city will join dozens of other towns and villages that need to be rebuilt virtually from the ground up. A vast swath of northern Iraq adidas originals ultraboost is reeling from violence and destruction that has forced almost 900,000 people to flee their home mizuno de s in the last year alone.Efforts to bring those Iraqis back home are robust -- and unique; the United Nations has more than 800 stabilization efforts underway across the country -- work the U.N. has done in many countries following many conflicts. But this time, the work is aimed at building confidence in local governance as much as it is at rebuilding Iraq s shattered infrastructure.U.N. equipment and supplies are not stamped with the instantly-recognizable blue globe insignia, and local Iraqi contractors are carrying out the work in the name of the Iraqi government, rather than foreign contractors. The U.N. s new strategy is designed to minimize the promotion of its own work, and to instead quietly facilitate a for the country, by the country reconstruction. The Iraqis coming home don t necessarily know that it is the U.N. that is helping them.

North Korea announced Thursday that it is preparing to restart the facility that produced its atomic bomb, indicating that it plans to pull out of an international deal to end its nuclear program.The North told the International Atomic Energy Agency that it was stopping the process of disabling its main nuclear site and completely barring international inspectors from the Yongbyon facility, the agency said.

SEOUL, South Korea - Troops from the rival Koreas exchanged gunfire Sunday along their heavily fortified border in the second such shooting in less than 10 days, South Korean officials said. There were no reports of injuries or property damage, but the 10 minutes of shooting highlighted rising tensions between the divided countries.The Koreas first exchange of gunfire came after North Korea opened fire at balloons carrying anti-Pyongyang leaflets that were floating across the border from the South. Sunday s shootout began after North Korea sent soldiers close to yeezy the border line. The move was an attempt by the North to increase worries in the South about what might happen if leafleting continues, analysts say.South Korean activist groups, mostly made up of North Korean defectors, have been staunch in their vows to continue sending the leaflets, which Pyongyang considers propaganda warfare; one group says it will float about 50,000 on Saturday. North Korea has warned it will take unspecified stronger measures if leafleting continues.Generals from the sides met at a border village last week in their first military talks in more than three years to discuss how to ease the recent spike in tensions, but the meeting ended air force one with no agreement and no prospects to meet again.On Sunday, South Korean soldiers broadcast warnings and fired warning shots at abo nike dunk high ut 10 North Korean soldiers who were approaching the military demarcation line inside the 2.5-mile-wideDemilitarized Zone that bisect Gzkg IAEA Head To Probe Iran s Nukes Claims
