1. Hong Kong teenagers arrested for explosives
HONG KONG — Three Hong Kong teenagers have been arrested for possession of explosives, and tests were being made to determine if the material was the same type used in the deadly 2005 London subway bombings, police said Sunday.
The arrests came after one of the youths set off a homemade bomb and almost had his hand blown off Saturday.

3. North Korea plans to launch rocket in defiance
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea's plans to launch a rocket as early as this week in defiance of warnings threatens to undo years of fitful negotiations toward dismantling the regime's nuclear program.
The U.S., South Korea and Japan have told the North that any rocket launch — whether it's a satellite or a long-range missile — would violate a 2006 U.N. Security Council Resolution and could draw sanctions.
North Korea said sanctions would violate the spirit of disarmament agreements, and said it would treat the pacts as null and void if punished for exercising its sovereign right to send a satellite into space.
NATIONAL 4. Coyotes have adapted to urban areas in Colorado
DENVER —Thanks to suburban sprawl and a growth in numbers of both people and animals, a rash of coyote encounters has alarmed residents.
After generations of urban living, some coyotes navigate subdivisions as easily as the cactus and scrub oak of the high desert where their ancestors roamed.
Wildlife officials are working to educate the public: Coyotes have always been here, they've adapted to urban landscapes and they prefer to avoid humans.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Alaska's Mount Redokub continued to erupt Saturday, sending plumes of ash tens of thousands of feet into the air that rained down on at least one Alaska town

Also, for the first time, the volcano spewed a thin layer of ash on Anchorage — enough to force the shutdown of the state's largest airport.
6. Fargo residents pray together about Red River
FARGO, N.D. — Fargo residents came together at churches Sunday and prayed they would be spared the Red River's wrath as water burst a levee and swamped a school, providing a powerful omen for the type of disaster that could strike at any time.
Church services that are a staple of life on Sunday mornings in Fargo took on greater significance as people gathered after a week of sandbaggaging, worrying and helping neighbors and prayed that their levees would keep holding the water back. The mayor opened his morning briefing with a blessing.

CRIME
CRIME Man accused of drive-by was on probation before
The 22-year-old Overland Park man accused of a drive-by shooting outside the Hawk Thursday morning was on probation in Johnson County at the time of his arrest.
Joseph A. Muhammad was convicted of two counts of aggravated assault in July, Johnson County court records show.
Muhammad made his first appearance in the Douglas County court Friday afternoon on three charges of aggravated battery for the shooting, which injured Matt Lett, Salina senior, Alex Thies, Shawnee sophomore, and Justin Lucas, 21, of Chicago.
During the hearing, Douglas County prosecutors said Muhammad posed a danger to the public and was a flight risk. The judge set Muhammad's bail at $250,000 and appointed a public defender to represent him. As of 10 p.m. Sunday, he remained in custody in the Douglas County Jail.
Muhammad's next court appearance will be 2 p.m. Wednesday.
