More violence in Iraq. Iraq's Interior Ministry1 says at least 27 people were killed in a series of bombings today near Shiite mosques2 in Baghdad. The attacks occurred after Friday prayers concluded and appeared to target worshippers as they left the mosques. Police believed the attacks were coordinated3.
The military scrambled4 fighter jets when a plane, a civilian5 plane, veered6 way off its flight plan last night. NORAD says it's sent two F16s to tail the single engine plane when it flew past its destination. That plane crashed 300 miles away near Henderson, West Virginia, killing7 the pilot. Fighter pilots say they never had any luck contacting the single engine plane pilot, affiliate8 WSAZ reports that pilot had apparently9 passed out.
President Obama was, um , bartender in chief at the White House yesterday. He hosted Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates and the police officer who arrested Gates in his own home for some beer outside the Oval Office. There you see him. The president said he wanted the meeting to defuse the racial issues brought up by the arrest. There were no apologies made, but Cambridge police Sergeant10 James Crowley says they need to move forward.
"Professor Gates and I bring different perspectives to these issues and have agreed that both perspectives should be addressed in an effort to provide a constructive11 outcome to the events of the past month. "
