1. Four arrested near U.S. Embassy in Yemen
SANA, Yemen — Four Yemenis carrying explosives and guns were arrested near the U.S. embassy in San'a, the Interior Ministry said Tuesday.
The Ministry's statement didn't say when they were arrested. But senior security officials told The Associated Press last week they were on the look out for possible attacks against foreign interests in San'a.
The ministry said the four, aged between 20 and 33, had grenades, automatic weapons and ammunition in two separate vehicles. The men were residents of the northern town of Damag, home to one of the country's largest radical Sunni Islam teaching institutions, frequented by Yemeni, Arab and foreign clerics.
2. Doctors want ban on alcohol advertisements
LONDON — British doctors called for a ban on alcohol advertisements Tuesday, saying the
move was necessary to challenge Britain's dangerous drinking culture.
The British Medical Association argued in a report that a rapid increase in alcohol consumption among young Britons in recent years was being underpinned by "clever alcohol advertising" and that a prohibition on alcohol-related publicity was needed to help turn the situation around.
3. Tornado, mudslides kill 16 in South America
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — A violent storm that spawned a tornado and mudslides killed at least 16 people across northern Argentina and southern Brazil, authorities said Tuesday. Dozens were injured in the winds and hail as their homes were destroyed.
At least 10 died in Argentina, said Ricardo Veselka, civil defense director for the town of San Pedro, where the twister hit.
Four people were killed in the Brazilian city of Guaraciaba, and two people died in Sao Paulo.

4. New justice Sotomayor takes Supreme Court seat
NATIONAL
WASHINGTON — Justice Sonia Sotomayor has taken her seat at the Supreme Court in front of a packed courtroom that included President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.
Sotomayor, 55, last month became the first Hispanic and third woman to be a justice. She took the oath again Tuesday in a ceremony by which the court formally welcomes its newest member.
HARTFORD, Conn. — The mayor of Hartford, Conn., and three others charged in a corruption investigation last week have appeared before a state judge.
Mayor Eddie Perez, former state Rep. Abraham Giles, Hartford City Councilwoman Veronica Airey-Wilson and Farmington businessman Carlos Lopez did not speak during their arraignments Tuesday.
5. Mayor arraigned for corruption charges again
Perez and Giles are charged with attempted extortion and conspiracy for allegedly trying to extort $250,000 from a real estate developer. They deny the charges.
Airey-Wilson is charged with tampering with evidence, and Lopez is charged with fraudulent voting.
Perez's corruption arrest was his second this year. He was charged in January with taking a bribe from a city contractor.
6. Man charged in violent deaths of eight relatives
BRUNSWICK, Ga. — A 22-year-old man bludgeoned his father and seven others to death inside a coastal Georgia mobile home, police said Tuesday.
Arrest warrants showed each had been beaten with a blunt object.
Guy Heinze Jr., who cried "my whole family's dead" when he reported the slayings in a frantic 911 call Aug. 29, was charged Friday with eight counts of murder.
