1. Bishop expelled from Argentina after scuffle
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — A British bishop whose denial of the Holocaust embroiled the pope in controversy was expelled from Argentina Tuesday after scuffling with a reporter at the airport.
A local television station showed Richard Williamson raising his fist and shoving a reporter into a pole as he hurried to catch a flight for London.
Argentina's government on Thursday ordered the traditionalist Catholic bishop to leave the country or face expulsion for failing to declare a job change as required by immigration law. The order also cited his denial of the Holocaust.
2. African immigrants drown off Yemen coast
A smuggling boat was carrying
GENEVA — Six African migrants drowned and 11 more are presumed dead after smugglers in the Gulf of Aden forced their passengers overboard in deep water off Yemen, the U.N. refugee agency reported Tuesday.
40 Somalis and 12 Ethiopians when it approached Yemen's coast on Friday, said Ron Redmond, spokesman for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. But smugglers noticed Yemeni police onshore and panicked, forcing the passengers overboard in deep water, he said.
Redmond said 35 passengers were able to make it safely to shore, while authorities have recovered six bodies.
3. Blast kills one, injures 24 others in Cairo bazaar
CAIRO — The French teenagers had finished a day touring Cairo's 650-year-old Khan el-Khaliil bazaar, gathering in its main square to board a bus back to their hotel. Then the blast went off.
The explosion killed a 17-year old girl with the group and wounded 24 other people, most of them fellow students. According to the government account released Monday, a bomb had been planted underneath a stone bench on which the girl was sitting.
The Sunday night blast was the first attack in three years targeting foreigners in Egypt.
NATIONAL 4. Company accused of not sterilizing syringes
RALEIGH, N.C. — A North Carolina company is accused of bypassing sterilization tests for medical syringes in a cost-cutting move prosecutors say sickened hundreds of patients and led to five deaths.
U. S. Attorney George Holding said Tuesday that federal authorities have launched an international search for the executive charged with rushing shipments of bacteria contaminated syringes from an AM2PAT Inc. plant. Two former plant workers who provided prosecutors details about the plant's operations have pleaded guilty for their roles in shipping tainted syringes.
The syringes contained Heparin, a blood thinner, and saline, and were recalled in December 2007 after an outbreak of illnesses. Health inspectors identified bacterial infections in Colorado, Texas, Illinois and Florida.

the case of Mayor Frank Melton, accused of leading a sledgehammer attack on a duplex he suspected was a crack house.
Jurors told U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III they were hopelessly deadlocked after five days of deliberations.
They arrived at the same conclusion last Thursday, but Jordan told them to keep trying.
"The mayor has lived to fight another day," Melton attorney John Reeves told reporters.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Jurors ordered the German-based pharmaceutical company Sandoz Inc. on Tuesday to pay Alabama $78.4 million for causing the state Medicaid program to pay too much for prescription drugs from 1991 to 2005.
The jury ordered Sandoz, a subsidiary of Novartis AG, to pay $28.4 million to compensate that Medicaid program for its losses and another $50 million in punitive damages. Jurors took about four hours over two days to return a verdict.

AWARDS KU journalism students win two more Hearst awards
— Alicia Banister
"It was a lot of work tracking the players down," Dodd said. "It's cool that a judge somewhere out there saw that and liked it."
The Hearst Journalism Awards Program announced top prizes for two Kansas journalism students on Monday, the fifth and sixth University Daily Kansan staff members to win awards from the national program this year.
Rustin Dodd, Overland Park senior, won first place in sportswitting for "For the love of the game," his April 28, 2008, article about former Kansas basketball players and their efforts to continue their professional basketball careers outside the NBA.
Mark Dent, Overland Park
Ted Frederickson, professor of journalism, said Dodd's and Dent's articles were outstanding because they covered issues
senior, won fifth place in sports writing for his Jan. 23, 2008, article "Athletes with children." It focused on the challenges faced by athletes who double as parents and the regulations that prevent them from receiving certain financial assistance
rather than events.
"This was a championship year for both KU basketball and the Kansan sportswriters who covered KU sports," Frederickson said. "And Rustin and Mark were two of our best sportswriters."
The School of Journalism is in first place in the intercollegiate competition for outstanding college journalism this year, said Yasi Haerizadeh, program assistant with the Hearst awards.
