      โ€˜Doubtsโ€™ about Clinton sealed GOP national security letter against Trump

      The blistering, blockbuster letter signed by 50 Republican national security officials condemning Donald Trump as unfit to be president came together last week, with the only significant edit being the addition of language acknowledging widespread โ€œdoubtsโ€ that Hillary Clinton can do the job, several signers told Yahoo News. โ€œPeople on the letter are in different places on Hillary Clinton,โ€ said John Bellinger III, who served as legal adviser on the National Security Council and at the State Department under Condoleezza Rice and who drafted the letter.

      Man killed by deputy in Compton not involved with carjacker

      The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department acknowledged Tuesday that a deputy shot and killed a black man who was mistakenly identified as a suspect in a carjacking, again bringing into question the appropriateness of a police agency's use of deadly force. Donnell Thompson, 27, was shot at close range by a deputy riding in the turret of an armored vehicle, one of two dispatched as officers searched for suspects in Compton after a car chase and shootout. Police said the shooting occurred after Thompson ignored their commands and charged at them.

      U.S. recovers data recorder from sunken cargo ship El Faro

      The data recorder from the cargo ship El Faro, which sank near the Bahamas during a Caribbean hurricane last October, has been recovered, offering possible answers about why the vessel went down, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said on Tuesday. A U.S. Coast Guard panel in May revealed the ship's captain intended to avoid the brewing storm when he departed, but may have had outdated weather data.

      American, Australian kidnapped at gunpoint in Kabul

      Gunmen wearing police uniforms kidnapped an American and an Australian in the heart of Kabul, officials said Monday, the latest in a series of abductions of foreigners in the conflict-torn country. The two professors at the American University of Afghanistan were seized from their vehicle on Sunday evening, as the kidnappers smashed the passenger window and hauled them away at gunpoint. No group has so far claimed responsibility for the abductions, which come three days after a group of foreign tourists were ambushed by the Taliban in western Herat province, underscoring the growing insecurity in Afghanistan.

      The Latest: Police: Boy died of neck injury on water slide

      Kansas City, Kansas, police say a 10-year-old boy who was killed while riding the world's tallest water slide died of a neck injury. Police say Caleb Schwab was one of three passengers riding in a boat Sunday on the Verruckt water slide at Schlitterbahn Waterpark. The Kansas park where a state lawmaker's 10-year-old son died on what's billed as the world's largest waterslide says the park is tentatively planning to reopen on Wednesday.

Park officials said in a statement that Schlitterbahn Kansas City would remain closed at least until Wednesday, while the slide would be shut down during the course of the investigation.

      Girl, 11, Dies From Brain-Eating Amoeba She Contracted While Swimming in River

      A South Carolina girl has died after contracting a brain-eating amoeba while swimming in a river. Hannah Collins, 11, was pronounced dead Friday, just three days after health authorities said aย Naegleria fowleriย infection โ€” the second in the Carolinasย this year โ€” had been confirmed. Officials didn't identify Hannah, but said they believed the patient had been exposed to the single-celled organismย while swimming in the Edisto River in Charleston County on July 24.

      Why did Iran execute nuclear scientist Shahram Amiri?

      An Iranian nuclear scientist who disappeared on pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia in 2009, mysteriously surfacing in the United States to demand his repatriation a year later, was executed in Tehran last week, Iranian officials said on Sunday. Shahram Amiri had been convicted of spying for the United States and was executed after the Iranian Supreme Court upheld the death sentence, Iranian chief prosecutor Gholam Hossein Mohseni-Ejei told state media.

      It's Shooting-Star Time! How to Watch the Perseid Meteor Shower

      It's almost time for one of the best nighttime celestial shows of the year โ€” the Perseid meteor shower, a spectacular array of shooting stars that is expected to peak late Thursday night and early Friday morning (Aug. 11 and 12). Even better, skywatchers don't need any special equipment to watch the Perseids, said Bill Cooke, head of NASA's Meteoroid Environments Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama. "All you've got to do is go outside, find a nice dark spot, lie flat on your back and look up," Cooke told Live Science.
