SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO
Police in Puerto Rico say they have seized $500,000 in cash during a routine traffic stop.
Police said they stopped an erratic driver on Wednesday who told authorities he had a bag full of money inside the car.
The authorities did not release further details and said the investigation is ongoing. No one has been arrested.
Four other similar seizures have been reported this year.
Federal agents in late July seized more than $200,000 in cash from the roof of a car bound for the Dominican Republic. In February, agents detained two men in a taxi with $580,000 in suitcases. Local police stopped a suspect in February with $670,000 stuffed inside beer boxes, a month after they seized more than $1 million in cash from another driver.
MOGADISHU. SOMALIA
A Somali pirate and a government official say that fighting broke out between a local government force and pirates holding two hostages from the U.S. and Denmark.
The self-proclaimed pirate, Bile Hussein, said Wednesday that armed men from the Himan and Heeb local administration attacked a group of pirates Tuesday as they tried to meet local elders about the hostages.
Pirates kidnapped the American and the Dane — aid workers with the de-mining unit of the Danish Refugee Council — last month.
Mohamed Aden Tiey, the top local official in the Himan and Heeb region, said one pirate was killed.
SARAJEVO,
BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA
Aden said the two are being held in a village called Degan near the pirate town of Haradhere. They were not present at the scene of the fight.
Bosnia has arrested two men suspected of helping a gunman who opened fire with an automatic weapon outside the U.S. Embassy in Sarajevo.
A statement from the state prosecutor's office Wednesday said 24-year-old Dino Pecenkovic, and Munib Ahmetpasic, 21, were arrested and should remain in custody during a one-month investigation period.
The two are accused of participating in an act of terrorism by driving gunman Mevlid Jasarevic from their northern Bosnian village of Gornja Maoca to the embassy last Friday.
Jasarevic injured a policeman before a police sniper ended his 30 minute-long shooting spree with a shot to his leg. He was detained Monday after being released from hospital.
BEIJING
China moved one step closer to setting up its own space station early Thursday, with two spacecraft docking successfully above the earth.
The state-run Xinhua News Agency said the unmanned spacecraft Shenzhou 8 docked with the 'Tiangong 1 module now in orbit as China moved ahead with its most ambitious space project to date. Shenzhou 8 launched Tuesday from a base in far western China.
China launched its own space station program after being turned away in its repeated attempts to join the 16-nation International Space Station. That was largely on objections from the United States, which is wary of the Chinese space program's military links.

Government seeks enrollment stats
ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO
Students sit in the gym at Crossville Elementary School in Crossville, Ala. Despite being in an almost all-white town, the school's enrollment is about 65 percent Hispanic.
The department sent letters Monday to 39 school superintendents seeking lists that include the race and national origin of students, as well as whether English is their primary language. Justice department attorneys also are seeking the names of students who have withdrawn from school and the dates they left.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The U.S. Justice Department is requesting that school districts in Alabama turn over enrollment information about all of their students as part of a federal lawsuit challenging the state's tough new immigration law.
The Obama administration is concerned that the law enacted by Alabama's GOP-controlled legislature this year may chill student participation. The agency wants the information to determine if further action is warranted.
Justice Department spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa said the letter went to districts with significant Hispanic populations. Alabama has 132 school districts.
State Sen. Scott Beason, a Gardendale Republican who sponsored the law, said the Justice Department's letter shows the importance of compiling information. "They are asking for the same student information we tried to get. They are proving our point," he said.
Federal courts have put on hold
The Justice Department's letter reminds school superintendents that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1982 that schools may not deny a student access based on immigration status and that the Justice Department enforces civil rights laws.
a portion of Alabama's law that requires schools to report the number, but not the names, of students whose immigration status is in question.
Beason said the Alabama law only sought statistics and did not deny enrollment to any illegal immigrant.
Michael Sibley, spokesman for the state Department of Education, said the Justice Department went directly to city and county superintendents rather than going through the department. He said he's not aware of the Justice Department ever seeking lists of students' names before in Alabama.
