This is AP News Minute.

The Pentagon confirms that U.S. Central Command's Twitter and Youtube sites were hacked¹ Monday. The hackers² claiming to be working on behalf of Islamic State militants³. American and coalition⁴ fighters have been targeting the group with airstrikes in Iraq and Syria.

France police say as many as 6 members of a terrorist cell involved in the Paris attacks may still be at large. The suspects include a man who was seen driving a car, registered to the widow of one of the slain⁵ gunmen. This comes as the country orders 10,000 troops into the streets to protect sensitive sites.

Haitians gathered Monday to mark the 5th anniversary of the devastating⁶ January 2010 earthquake. The government said more than 300,000 people were killed, but the exact toll⁷ is unknown because there was no systematic⁸ effort to count bodies amid the chaos⁹ and destruction.

And U.S. and foreign car makers¹⁰ debuted¹¹ new offering during the Detroit auto¹² show. Fords stunned¹³ the crowd with its new GT high performance super car while Porsche unveiled a pair of offerings, new 911-Targa 4 GTs and Cayenne Turbos.
