1. Irish Army dissidents threaten to kill politician
DUBLIN — Irish Republican Army dissidents threatened Sunday to kill top Sinn Fein politician Martin McGuinness and resume attacks in England as part of their efforts to wreck the IRA cease-fire and Northern Ireland power-sharing.
An Easter statement from the outlawed Real IRA distributed to Irish media branded McGuinness a traitor because he holds the top Irish Catholic post in Northern Ireland's power-sharing government with British Protestants.
The statement warned McGuinness — a former IRA commander — that "no traitor will escape justice regardless of time, rank or past actions. The republican movement has a long memory."

Canberra, Australia's capital, has a problem — too many kangaroos.
Canberra's latest man vs.-roo horror story concerns a confused beast, standing about 5 feet 9 inches on its powerful hind legs, which last month bounded through a closed bedroom window onto a bed where a couple huddled with their 9-year-old daughter, then hopped into their 10-year-old son's bedroom.
COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — Sri Lanka's president ordered a two-day suspension of offensives against Tamil Tiger rebels to get tens of thousands of trapped civilians to leave the war zone, his office said Sunday.
President Mahinda Rajapaksa directed the armed forces to restrict operations to a defensive nature and renewed his call "acknowledge its military defeat and surrender," a statement said.

4. Marshal faces charges for leaking secrets to mob
CHICAGO — Once known as a tireless bloodhound who tracked down fugitive gang leaders, deputy U.S. marshal John T. Ambrose now faces trial himself on charges alleging he betrayed his oath and leaked secrets to the mob.
Ambrose, 50, is due to go on trial Monday for allegedly telling organized crime figures seven years ago that a so-called made member of the Chicago mob had switched sides and was providing detailed information to federal prosecutors. Ambrose denies he ever broke the law in handling secret information.
5. Sunday school teacher allegedly kills 8-year-old
TRACY, Calif. — Relatives of a Sunday school teacher arrested in the killing of an 8-year-old girl found stuffed into a suitcase said Sunday they are baffled by the accusations against the woman they knew as a loving parent.
Melissa Huckaby is the mother of the slain girl's best friend. The motive in the killing had not been determined.
Huckaby, 28, was on suicide watch at the San Joaquin County Jail, where she remained in custody Sunday without bail on suspicion of kidnapping and killing Sandra Cantu.
Huckaby taught Sunday school at her grandfather's church.
6. Co-pilot's wrong move may have caused crash
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — A copilot may have accidentally activated the autopilot on a medical plane shortly before it crashed and killed both pilots and a fourmember organ transplant team.
Capt. Steve Jones, head of operations at Western Michigan University's College of Aviation, told the Free Press that the two motion buttons are next to each other on the center console and that many aircraft makers have redesigned consoles to avoid such confusion.
