INTERNATIONAL 1. Rebel leaders found guilty of war crimes
FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — On Wednesday, an international court modeled after the Nuremberg tribunal charged three top Sierra Leone rebel leaders with crimes against humanity — the closest thing to justice in this West African nation of amputees, orphans and widows.
Revolutionary United Front leader Issa Sesay and one of his battlefield commanders Morris Kalon were found guilty on 16 of 18 counts, including mutilation, terrorism, rape, forced marriage, sexual slavery and the enlistment of child soldiers. Another commander, Augustine Gbao, was found guilty on 14 of the 18 counts.
All three had pleaded not guilty and shook their heads as the verdict was read.

HAARLEMMEIRLIE, Netherlands
A Turkish airline jetliner plum
meted out of the mist and plowed into a muddy field Wednesday near Amsterdam's main airport, but nearly everyone on board — 125 people — survived. The nine dead included two pilots.
The Boeing 737-800 was en route from Istanbul to Amsterdam carrying 134 people when it suddenly lost speed and fell out of the sky about two miles short of the runway at Schiphol Airport, investigators said.
BUSHEHR, Iran — Iranian and Russian engineers carried out a test run of Iran's first nuclear power plant Wednesday, a major step toward starting up a facility that the U.S. once hoped to prevent because of fears over Tehran's nuclear ambitions.
Washington worried Iran would turn spent fuel from the plant's reactor into plutonium, which could then be used to build a nuclear warhead, and U.S. officials pressured Moscow for years to stop helping Iran build the electricity-generating facility.
3.Iran does test run of first nuclear power plant
TULSA, Okla. — Seventeen private water wells have tested positive for E. coli bacteria near a north eastern Oklahoma town where an E. coli outbreak last summer killed one man and sickened hundreds, state officials said Wednesday.

LAS VEGAS — Authorities cordoned off a business area, evacuated a neighborhood and closed a freeway interchange for several hours Wednesday after a truck tipped over and spilled about 5,000 pounds of a hazardous fertilizer in a busy intersection.
The Department of Environmental Quality said additional testing was needed to determine whether the bacteria in the wells was the rare E. coli O111 strain involved in the August outbreak.
5. Hazardous fertilizer spills onto LA freewav
The spill occurred shortly before 6 a.m. and was cleaned up about three hours later. The area was declared safe for residents and
business owners to return, city spokeswoman Heather Curry said.
6. Four members of suicide group charged in Ga.
ATLANTA — Georgia authorities have charged four members of an alleged assisted suicide ring with helping a 58-year-old man there end his life. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said Claire Behr, 76, and Thomas E. Goodwin, 63, were arrested Wednesday at a home in Dawson County in the northern part of the state.
GBI spokesman John Bankhead also said Dr. Lawrence D. Egbert, 81, of Baltimore was arrested. Nicholas Alec Sheridan, also of Baltimore, has been charged but is not in custody.
Bankhead said the four were members of the Final Exit Network. They were charged with assisted suicide, tampering with evidence and a violation of Georgia's anti-racketeering act. Authorities in at least eight other states are executing search warrants related to the investigation.

DONATION Sen. Dole gives $150K to KU Med and hospital
The gift will benefit spinal research at the newly founded Spine Center in Kansas City, Kan.
Former Sen. Bob Dole donated $150,000 to the University of Kansas Medical Center and the University of Kansas Hospital last week.
Dennis McCulloch, director of public and government relations at KU Hospital, said the money would be spent between the hospital and the medical center.
"It brings more patients to the hospital," McCullock said. "The gift helps the University with new research that will benefit those patients."
Michael Marshall, Sen. Dole's press secretary, said the gift held special significance with Sen. Dole.
"In World War II, Senator Dole suffered a spinal cord injury and realizes how important the research at the Spine Center will be for many people," Marshall said.
"I hope my contribution advanced knowledge and innovation in this area and helps others recognize their work, which could affect litterally millions of patients who suffer from back problems, spinal injuries and illnesses," Sen. Dole said in a press release last week.
Sen. Dole has made several other gifts to the Med Center in the past through KU Endowment.
The student suffered head injuries, which Warren said were not thought to be life-threatening.
Kevin Hardy
The student, whose name has not yet been released, was crossing the street near the intersection of University and Crestline streets when he was struck, said residents of nearby Meadowbrook Apartments.
The driver of the car has been identified as 18-year-old Washburn University freshman Kendra Butler.
