NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
BOGOTA, COLOMBIA
Rescuers are searching for signs of life amid mud and rubble after a rain-fueled landslide buried homes in northwestern Colombia, killing at least 21 people.
Red Cross rescue director Cesar Uruena said between 20 and 40 people remain missing from Saturday's landslide in Manizales, 165 kilometers (102 miles) northwest of the capital, Bogota.
Uruena said that 18 bodies have been identified and three remain unidentified.
The landslide was caused by heavy rains that caused part of a mountain slope to collapse.
Rescuers are using back hoes and earthmovers to search for survivors.
MESA. ARIZONA
The architect of the groundbreaking Arizona immigration law that thrust the issue into the national political debate faces a recall election Tuesday likely to be viewed as a referendum on the state's hardline immigration policies.
The effort to oust Republican state Sen. Russell Pearce has transformed a normally quiet legislative district in a Phoenix suburb into a closely watched battleground on immigration that also features issues such as school funding cuts and state mandates on local governments.
People on both sides of the debate believe that removing Pearce would send a powerful message to the legislature.
HARARE, ZIMBABWE
The party of Zimbabwe's prime minister said 22 people were injured and property was destroyed after youths attacked hundreds of supporters gathered at a rally in a town south of the capital, Harare.
Tendai Biti, secretary-general for the Movement for Democratic Change, said the party was forced to cancel a Sunday rally after attackers stoned and beat up supporters. He said the attackers were identified as President Robert Mugabe militants, known as Chipangano in the local Shona language.
The incident came as regional mediators wound up a visit to Harare aimed at easing tensions in Zimbabwe's two-year coalition.
BEIRUT. LEBANON
Syrians in the restive region of Homs performed special prayers for a major Muslim holiday to the sound of explosions and gunfire as government troops pushed forward their assault on the area, killing at least 11 people Sunday, residents and activists said.
The violence on the first day of Eid al-Adha, or Feast of the Sacrifice, added to fears that a peace plan brokered by the Arab League last week was unraveling and prompted Qatar's prime minister to call for an emergency meeting Saturday to discuss the Syrian government's failure to abide by its commitments.

Connecticut airport unprepared for snow storm, stranded flyers
HARTFORD, Conn. — The headlines were brutal: "126 Trapped on Plane 7 Hours." "Another Fiasco at Bradley."
Passengers on at least four planes sat on the tarmac at Connecticut's Bradley Airport for seven hours or more Oct. 29 when the autumn snowstorm hit the Northeast, marking the second time in less than two years that Bradley has made news because passengers were stranded on the tarmac.
Air traffic controllers diverted 28 planes to Bradley because of the storm. Five were able to refuel and take off.
For those stuck at Bradley, what waited for them when they deplaned was worse in some ways: Stuck in an airport overnight without heat, no access to luggage carrying clean clothes and toiletries, no security.
The debacle raised anew questions about whether the smaller regional airport is adequately prepared for future storms, when more planes will surely be diverted. And the delays touched off more national debate, this time about the need for improved communication between airports and airlines; the type of conversations that determine when passengers can disembark.
"The airport was very, very cold and there didn't seem to be anyone in charge," said Elizabeth Halasz of Miami, a former flight attendant who was aboard the jetBlue flight.
It's far from the kind of publicity Connecticut officials were seeking for the state's flagship airport, located about halfway between the capital of Hartford and Springfield, Mass., as they work to overhaul operations with a new airport authority and attract more business.
can," said state Sen. Gary LeBeau, a Democrat from East Hartford who's co-chairman of the General Assembly's Commerce Committee.
"All bad publicity is not good. So does it hurt Hartford as an airport? Of course it does, because people will try to avoid it if they

"I'ts the opposite of what we want, which is good marketing."
The first problem for Bradley came in June 2010, when about 300 people aboard a diverted trans-Atlantic flight, originally from London to Newark, were marooned for four hours. Some fell ill from the heat. The delay prompted calls to add international travel to a federal rule limiting how long airlines can keep passengers on board.
Last weekend, one JetBlue flight from Florida and headed to New Jersey was stranded at Bradley for more than seven and a half hours. It seemed as if the airport lacked
enough people on the ground to get the passengers off the plane, said Elizabeth Halasz of Miami, a former flight attendant who was aboard the plane.
While the experience of being trapped aboard the plane more nearly eight hours was difficult, Halasz said the saga worsened once passengers left the plane. They had to camp out on cots inside the airport, which had no heat. Elderly passengers, she said, were freezing, and no one had access to their luggage until early the next morning to pull out extra clothing.
The only restaurants open were a McDonald's and a Dunkin' Donuts. Both, she said, only accepted credit cards because they had no cash to make change.
