NEWS AROUND THE WORLD
BUENOS AIRES
Argentina's security ministry has an explosives team probing a mysterious blast that killed a woman and injured at least six other people in the outskirts of Buenos Aires.
The explosion occurred shortly after 2 a.m. Monday, destroying two houses, a business and several cars.
Several neighbors reported seeing a ball of fire fall from the skv right before the explosion.
DUBLIN
Provincial justice and security minister Ricardo Casal says experts "are evaluating all the theories, from an explosion to something strange that came from the sky."
Federal and provincial experts aren't ruling anything out, but NASA has said that a satellite that fell to Earth sometime Saturday landed well clear of South America.
Northern Ireland police say they have arrested three suspected Irish Republican Army dissidents over a suspected car bomb in Londonderry.
British Army engineers are examining Monday's potential bomb at a road junction on the city's outskirts. The alert has caused traffic jams along Northern Ireland's border with the Irish Republic.
The three men aged 46, 49 and 56 are being questioned at the main police interrogation center near Belfast.
Police reported a second suspected bomb in the border town of Newry. It was found on a road running underneath the main Belfast-Dublin highway and near the town's train station.
Several IRA splinter groups seek to force Northern Ireland from the United Kingdom. They reject the IRA's 2005 decisions to disarm and renounce violence.
BAGHDAD
Baghdad gunmen assassinated a senior finance ministry official and wounded a senior judge, while a roadside bomb in northern Iraq killed three people Monday, officials said.
Senior Finance Ministry official Mohammed Ali al-Safi died Monday evening, hours after assailants opened fire on his car in western Baghdad, police and hospital officials said.
Additionally, officials said gunmen shot judge Munir Hadad in his hand during a drive-by shooting on a highway in central Baghdad in a failed assassination attempt. Hadad served as the spokesman for the Iraqi High Tribunal formed to prosecute former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and his aides.
Separately, Brig. Gen. Sarhat Qadir said a detonated bomb hit a car carrying four people near the city of Kirkuk, some 180 miles north of Baghdad.
It is packing maximum winds of 87 mph and with the immense 400-mile cloud band threatens to foul weather across the entire main Luzon Island as it moves toward the South China Sea.
Heavy downpours and wind prompted the closure of schools and universities in the capital Manila while domestic flights are canceled and inter-island ferries grounded, stranding thousands.
MANILA. PHILIPPINES
The government weather bureau says Typhoon Nesat made landfall before dawn Tuesday over eastern mountainous Isabela and Aurora provinces facing the Pacific Ocean.
A powerful typhoon has slammed ashore in the eastern Philippines where authorities ordered more than 100,000 people to seek shelter from heavy rains and gusts of up to 106 miles per hour.

Animal cruelty in the 'Little Apple'
MANHATTAN, Kan. — A 45-year-old Manhattan man is facing several charges after an incident involving a boa constrictor and a large sword.
WIBW reports Riley County police officers were called to a home Friday afternoon where friends of the man said he was acting weird and throwing a boa constrictor down on the ground repeatedly.
Police say officers were attempting to arrest the man for animal cruelty when he started swinging a large sword around and threatening them.
The man was subdued and charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, obstructing the legal process, disorderly conduct and animal cruelty. He also was charged with criminal damage because police say he damaged a window in the patrol car with his handcuffs on the way to jail.
Associated Press

Website speeds up visa process
The 'Study in the States' website went live two weeks ago and is designed to streamline the visa process for foreign students and faculty. In a conference call on Sept. 16, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton announced it as part of a government-wide initiative to encourage "the best and brightest foreign students" to study and conduct research in the United States.
A new federal website for international students does not yet provide much that is new, according to Joe Potts, director of international student and scholar services at the University. He does, however, approve of the idea behind it.
Potts said he was encouraged by the announcement of the website launch and hoped it will be followed by genuine policy improvements.
He said those students represent a critical intellectual resource and that overcomplicated regulatory issues make employment after graduation difficult for both the students and companies that might hire them.
Sara Sneath
"From what I've been able to see on the website, there is no new content yet and no new tools or programs." Potts wrote in an email. "But it does reflect a new awareness by the federal government of the importance of international students."
Morton said one goal of the website was to help foreign students remain in compliance with visa laws and improve the integrity of immigration law enforcement. He said it was part of a greater effort to move the visa regulation process entirely online, replacing the current system, which uses both paper and electronic documents.
