1. Gaza's poverty triples to one in five residents
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The number of Gazans living in "abject" poverty has tripled this year to 300,000, or one in five residents, the Gaza head of the U.N. agency helping Palestinian refugees said Thursday.
Gaza's economy has foundered under an Israeli-Egyptian border blockade imposed after the Islamic militant group Hamas seized control of the territory.
The blockade's toll on Gaza residents was compounded by Israel's winter offensive in the strip that aimed to stop Palestinian rocket fire at southern Israel. Thousands of homes, government buildings and businesses were destroyed during the Israeli campaign.
2. Iran to open nuclear site to IAEA inspectors
GENEVA — The International Atomic Energy Agency says its director will visit Iran to discuss
issues related to the country's nuclear program.
An IAEA statement says Moahamed ElBaradei was "invited to Tehran by Iranian authorities. He will travel soon to discuss a number of matters."
ElBaradei recently said Tehran was "on the wrong side of the law" regarding a second enrichment site near Qom. He said Iran should have revealed its plans as soon as the decision was made to build the plant.
EU envoy Javier Solana said Iran agreed Thursday to open the site to IAEA inspectors.
VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI will visit Cyprus next year, the Vatican said Thursday.
3. Pope may meet head of Russian church in Cyprus:
Cyprus has been mentioned as a possible venue for a long-sought meeting between Benedict and the Russian Orthodox patriarch.
The Cypriot government said Thursday the pope would visit in June.
NATIONAL 4. Bone fragments in case most likely not human
NATIONAL
HAYWARD, Calif. — Northern California investigators probing two old kidnapping cases say bone fragments collected on Phillip Garrido's property show they are likely not human.
Hayward police searched the Garrido property last month for any links to the kidnapping of Michaela Garecht in 1988. Dublin authorities also combed for evidence as part of their probe into the 1989 disappearance of Ilene Misheloff.
Garrido has been charged for allegedly kidnapping Jaycee Dugard in 1991 and holding her captive in his Antioch backyard for 18 years. He and his wife, Nancy, have pleaded not guilty.
DALLAS — A topless club owner in Texas says Newt Gingrich's conservative group gave her a business award — and then rescinded it.
5. Topless club accidentally awarded by Gingrich group
Club owner Dawn Rizos says
she was set to receive an "Entrepreneur of the Year" award for her business acumen from American Solutions for Winning the Future, which the former U.S. House speaker chairs.
But the owner of The Lodge, a popular Dallas gentleman's club, says the group later rescinded the award and the accompanying private Oct. 7 dinner with Gingrich in Washington.
Apparently the Gingrich group confused Rizos' business with one by the same name in Virginia.
6. School bus driver arrested for driving drunk
OJAL, Calif. — A California school bus driver who has was taking 31 students to school has been arrested for allegedly driving drunk.
Kim Fullenwider of Ojai (ohHAI) was arrested Wednesday morning after she made a legal U-turn in front of a pickup. The truck could not stop in time and plowed into the bus, which had 31 students aboard.
