"FAIRPLAY, Colo. -- It wasn't unusual for Claiborne Courtright and William Duffy to take off in one of their small planes and spend hours meandering across Colorado, stopping whenever they felt like it to take in the scenery, have a cup of coffee or talk to locals.
"They were just having fun, just out for an afternoon stroll," Courtright's wife, Anne, said. "They may be gone for quite a while, but they usually wouldn't go real far."
But last Thursday, the pair of elderly friends from Pueblo failed to return from one such spontaneous trip along the Continental Divide in Courtright's 1954 red-and-tan Piper Tri-Pacer."

"Until last week, a part of western North Carolina was literally a hidden minefield," U.S. Attorney David Nahmias told reporters."

"Brazzaville - Concerned about growing tension in the tinderbox eastern forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo, central African defence ministers set up a new military command for the region and called for respect for national frontiers on Saturday.
The move followed suspected incursions by Rwandan troops into the eastern Congo in search of the Hutu rebel fighters that have been accused of staging incursions into Rwanda.
An official said this week that the UN mission in the DRC was certain that there had been incursions, but was unable to confirm these had been by Rwandan soldiers."
