NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
MEXICO CITY
Mexico's military says soldiers freed 61 men being held captive and forced to work for a drug gang in a violent northern border city.
The army says the men were found guarded by three kidnappers in a safe house in Piedras Negras on Saturday. Soldiers made the discovery during a security sweep in the area that also turned up an abandoned truck filled with 6 tons of marijuana.
A statement released Sunday said one of the captive men is from Honduras, while the others are from various parts of Mexico.
Piedras Negras sits across the border from Eagle Pass, Texas, in the Mexican state of Coahuula, which has been the scene of ongoing battles between drug gangs. Last week the army arrested a major figure from the Zetas drug cartel there.
TUNIS, TUNISIA
More than 2,000 Tunisians have marched in favor of a secular state that allows press freedom and other rights. The demonstration is a response to protests and violence by Islamist extremists.
Tensions are high ahead of an Oct. 23 vote to elect an assembly charged with writing a new constitution.
The vote follows the uprising that ousted Tunisia's autocratic leader in January and sparked the Arab Spring.
Under a tight police escort, artists and intellectuals and others gathered Sunday in Tunis and chanted against violence extremism and state repression.
VATICAN CITY
New, ultraconservative groups of Muslims known as Salafists have attacked movie theaters and TV stations in recent days for showing material they say denigrates Islam.
Pope Benedict XVI began using a wheeled platform Sunday to navigate the long aisle of St. Peter's Basilica, adopting the device employed by his ailing predecessor to reduce fatigue.
As the platform, pushed forward by aides, glided up the marble floor toward the main airtar, Benedict gripped his pastoral staff with one hand and the device's support bar with the other.
The 84-year-old pontiff occasionally took his hand off the bar to wave to thousands of faithful flanking his route in the basilica, where he celebrated a Mass dedicated to encouraging missionary zeal.
But Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi insisted the platform wasn't being used for any "medical reason."
JERUSALEM
This week's planned Mideast prisoner swap is unleashing deep anguish in Israel and widespread elation in the Palestinian territories, laying bare the chasm of perspective dividing the two sides.
In Israel, the public is agast at having to release convicted perpetrators of suicide bombings, shootings and grisly kidnappings...
The Palestinians, with equal vehemence, see the returnees as heroes who fought an occupier at a time of violence and argue moral equivalence between their actions and those of Israel's army.
These diverging narratives have been reflected in reactions to the deal, in which Israel will free some 1,027 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for Sgt. Gilad Schalit, captured by Gaza militants in a cross-border raid in June 2006.

Muslim Student Association raises awareness for Islam
raises awareness for Islam Islam Awareness Week started Wednesday, Oct. 12, and the Muslim Student Association of KU has provided students and staff information about the religion every day this week and will continue to have events throughout the month.
"Essentially, our goal on campus is to increase awareness about Muslims and Islam," said Tasheem Daud, president of the Muslim Student Association, "and also to try and represent the religion in a way that kind of counters some of the stereotypes and misconceptions that are commonly displayed in the media and other places."
Anyone wanting to learn more about the religion can come to an open event on Fridays at 1:30 p.m.
"We're kind of tailoring that talk to our non-Muslim audience who we've invited to the mosque to sit and listen, observe the services, see how we pray, ask questions if they have any and find some answers; maybe mingle and socialize with some of the other Muslims or non-Muslims that will be here," Daud said.
The final events of Islam Awareness Week will happen today and tomorrow. Today the association will host a "Health and Islam" workshop, and tomorrow a panel of converts will share their journeys with a Q&A period afterward.
For more information and a list of upcoming events, go to the Student Involvement and Leadership Center website.

National Guard helps out with searching for missing baby
About 25 members of the guard's 1139th Military Police Company based in nearby Harrisonville, FBI agents and officers from several police and sheriff's departments from nearby communities in Missouri and Kansas split up into several groups and scoured a large wooded area west of the family's home.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Military police from the Missouri National Guard joined the search Sunday for a Kansas City baby, crawling through a wooded area to make sure no evidence was overlooked in the search for the girl reported missing from her home nearly two weeks ago.
The baby, Lisa Irwin, was 10 months old when her parents reported her missing Oct. 4. Her parents, Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin, said she disappeared from her crib sometime overnight. Previous searches have included the family's neighborhood, nearby wooded areas, a landfill and abandoned homes. Police have said that so far there are no suspects or major leads.
Nearly 100 people were involved in the search Sunday, said Bridget Patton, a spokeswoman for the FBI, which has been assisting the Kansas City Police Department.
"We put a call out and got a huge response." Patton said.
Gov. Jay Nixon ordered the guard to help in the search for one day. Guard spokeswoman Rachel Knight said it was unclear if the guard be involved after Sunday.
Knight said the guard members and the other law enforcement groups were going over a large wooded area that had been searched before to make sure nothing was missed. Several guard members dressed in camouflage could be seen heading off to a wooded section in mid-afternoon.
Knight said they would be scouring the area with additional manpower and fresh eyes.
