US tourists helped thwart theft of Magna Carta from English cathedral
Mark Royden, 47, is accused of starting a fire within the cathedral to cause a distraction and attempting to steal the Magna Carta. After causing dysfunction within the building, Royden, a Canterbury resident, is accused of running to smash the document's protective case with a hammer.
Rob Welling, a lawyer prosecuting Royden, told a Salisbury court that American tourists notified others of the attempted theft. "He's trying to steal the Magna Carta, stop him!" he said they cried. Royden struggled with several individuals before attempting to flee the cathedral. He was caught by a few stonemasons working outside.
Royden told them, "Your security's sh-t."

US embassy attack: Rockets strike embassy compound in Baghdad
Three rockets struck the US Embassy compound in Baghdad on Sunday, leaving one person injured, a US official told CNN initial reports indicate.
The official said the injury was minor and the individual had since returned to duty.
A State Department spokesperson said Sunday evening that they "are aware of reports of rockets landing in the International Zone," but did not address the US embassy itself. The State Department did not respond to a query as to whether any embassy employees were injured.
"We call on the Government of Iraq to fulfill its obligations to protect our diplomatic facilities," the spokesperson said.

Patricia Frazier carries the flag of Benin, the modern nation once ruled by the king of Dahomey, who sold 110 captives to the captain of the Clotilda—the last known ship to bring enslaved Africans to American shores. “If they find that ship, I think it will make people more aware of our history,” says Frazier before the vessel was found. “Sometimes you need something tangible to spur those memories.”
