HAVANA. CUBA
The government said Tuesday it would appeal the decision of the Palermo civil tribunal, which held Italy's transport and defense ministries liable for having failed to guarantee the security of the flight.
An evangelical pastor and 60 worshippers holed up in a Havana church for more than three weeks under the watchful eye of police said Tuesday they are conducting a religious retreat and denied reports they are doomsday watchers or dissident agitators.
Cuba's government said that none of the evangelicals are there against their will and that police surrounded the church to prevent any incidents after family members expressed worries about loved ones on the inside, including four pregnant women and 19 minors.
A medical team entered to verify that the worshippers were in good health and warned the pregnant women a prolonged stay would be dangerous.
ROME, ITALY
BUENOS AIRES. ARGENTINA
A bus driver gambled and tried to rush across railroad tracks Tuesday despite a barrier, bells and flashing lights, setting off a chain-reaction collision with two trains that killed 11 people and injured hundreds in Argentina's capital.
The Itavia DC-9 airliner crashed June 27, 1980 en route from Bologna to Palermo near the island of Ustica. The cause remains a mystery. Among the theories are that there was a bomb on board or that the airliner might have been caught accidentally in the crossfire of a military aerial dogfight.
An Italian court has ordered the government to pay euro 100 million ($137 million) in civil damages to relatives of 81 people killed in a 1980 aircraft disaster that remains one of Italy's most enduring mysteries.
The shocking accident, captured on video, came as little surprise to many in Buenos Aires, where 440 people and 165 vehicles were hit by trains last year, causing a total of 269 deaths.
In the latest accident, the bus got halfway across the first track before an oncoming passenger train crushed it against a concrete station platform. The collision forced the train's first two cars off the rails and into another locomotive that was leaving the station in the other direction.
SANAA. YEMEN
Yemen military airstrikes on anti-government tribesmen killed seven civilians, medical officials said, as hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets across the country on Tuesday to protest the latest attempt by their president to evade pressure to step down.
The attack is the latest by Republican Guards targeting tribes that support the protests.
Tribes in Arhab have announced an alliance with the protesters and are trying to prevent forces loyal to President Ali Abdullah Saleh from controlling the area. The government claims the tribesmen are linked to al-Qaida.
Residents and medical officials say at least 60 people have been killed in Arhab, north of Sanaa, in government attacks this year.
CORRECTION
A story on page one Tuesday about the University's ranking by U.S. News and World Report incorrectly reported the University's ranking in 2008. The University was ranked No. 38 in public universities in 2008.
