A Scottish newspaper on Sunday published previously undisclosed files on the 1988 Pan Am bombing that killed hundreds over Lockerbie, arguing it is in the public interest to ignore data protection laws that have kept the documents from the public.

The Sunday Herald newspaper posted an 800-page report by the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission to its website.

When Phong Yang, a Hmong refugee from Laos, landed in California's Central Valley — via stops in Thailand and France — he was 14 years old.

Military investigators suspect that the U.S. soldier charged with premeditated murder over the killings of 17 Afghan civilians committed the shootings in two separate operations, The New York Times reported Sunday.

Citing an unnamed U.S. official, the newspaper said the investigators believed that the soldier, Staff Sergeant Robert Bales, left his base and carried out the first set of killings, returned to the combat outpost and then, sometime later that evening, went out and attacked a second village.

A NASA spacecraft in orbit around the moon has sent back five dozen new images of the lunar surface including a view of the far side with Earth in the distance.

Don't thank scientists for it. Fourth-graders from an elementary school in Montana directed the spacecraft to snap pictures as part of a project headed by Sally Ride, the first American woman in space.

North Korea may have the bomb, but it hasn't perfected ways to put one onto a missile that could strike faraway enemies like the United States.

This is why Pyongyang's announcement that it will launch a satellite on a long-range rocket next month is drawing so much attention: Washington says North Korea uses these launches as cover for testing missile systems for nuclear weapons that could target Alaska and beyond.
