James Christian remembers the night a few years ago when he and his wife took a Scottish travel agent camping on their land in Kenya's Laikipia Plateau. As they sat under a starry African sky, the hill opposite them suddenly erupted with gunfire and loud booms. "Red tracer fire opened up, and there were these massive explosions - all of this was opposite us enjoying our African-wilderness experience," Christian says...
...those who died in the 1988 bombing of Pan-Am Flight 103: the only person convicted in the attack, Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi, being set free and receiving a hero's welcome on the tarmac in his native Libya. Now, two months after al-Megrahi's controversial release, Scottish police are diving back into the two-decade-old investigation in hopes of identifying the former Libyan intelligence officer's suspected accomplices - and providing some peace of mind to relatives of the 270 people killed in the attack...

The couple lost their Oct. 14 appeal in a case that is far from clear-cut - representatives of Dundee City say they would never remove children "just because of a weight issue." But obesity appears to be the primary reason South Carolina mom Jerri Gray lost custody of her 14-year-old, 555-lb. son in May. She was arrested...
