13 bodies recovered from U.S. helicopter crash site

http://www.cbc.ca/story/world/national/2005/06/30/newtaliban050630.html

Seventeen U.S. personnel were believed to be on the aircraft when it went down Tuesday while on a mission against al-Qaeda fighters in a mountainous region near Asadabad, in Kunar province.

Another seven troops are unaccounted for, some of them soldiers who were already on the ground when the Chinook helicopter crashed.

But the military is still hopeful that some of those who are missing are still alive. However, it's possible they could have been captured.

11 missing. Protect them, Lord

Security Scare Evacuates Akron-Canton Airport
http://www.airportbusiness.com/article/article.jsp?id=2559&siteSection=4

A computer keyboard and watch in a piece of luggage left unattended Wednesday afternoon at a security checkpoint at Akron-Canton Airport forced an hourlong evacuation of the terminal. (snip)

The owner of the luggage was never found. (snip)

It was the second incident involving a suspicious package in two days at a Northeast Ohio airport.

A man was stopped Tuesday afternoon at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport after security found suspicious material inside his luggage.

That package turned out to be a battery connected to a clock.
