      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.

      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Guard panel in May revealed the ship's captain intended to avoid the brewing storm when he departed, but may have had outdated weather data.

      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.

      The first familyโ€™s summer vacation at Marthaโ€™s Vineyard

      President Barack Obamaโ€™s seventh and final summer vacation at Marthaโ€™s Vineyard has begun with hopes of getting in some relaxing time with the first family before the busy fall leading up to Novemberโ€™s presidential election. Obama will fill the next two weeks with leisurely rounds of golf, beach outings, bike rides and hikes with his wife and daughters, and dinner with Mrs. Obama and their friends at some of the islandโ€™s top restaurants. Congress is also on an extended summer break from Washington, something the White House has chided it for as the nation deals with the Zika virus making its way to Florida.

      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.

      Caleb Thomas Schwab died on Sunday at the Schlitterbahn waterpark on the Verrรผckt water slide, which sends riders plunging down 17 stories at up to 50 miles an hour (80 kph). Police and fire officials rushed to the scene after a report of an emergency and found the boy "dead from a fatal neck injury at the end of the ride, in the pool," the statement said. 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.

      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.

      Russia-Turkey feud: from jet downing to making up

      Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Tuesday hold their first meeting since the two leaders began healing a bitter feud over Ankara's downing of a Russian warplane. NATO-member Turkey insists the Russian plane -- part of Moscow's bombing campaign to back up Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad -- was one of two jets that had strayed into Turkish airspace for some 17 seconds despite repeated warnings. Moscow is adamant that its aircraft did not cross the Syrian border and a furious Putin labels the incident a "stab in the back" by "the accomplices of terrorists".
