National - Delaware State teen charged for attempted murder says he is sorry. Loyer D. Brown was escorted to court Monday and when confronted by a reporter, he simply said,"I'm sorry." When the reporter asked what he was sorry for, Brown said," She is in the hospital." Brown was charged and arrested for attempted murder, reckless endangerment, and assault. There were three victims total. One victim, 17-year-old Shalita Middleton, is being treated for abdominal wounds at Christiana Hospital in Newark, Delaware. The other two victims, Nathaniel Pugh III and James Richmond, are also hospitalized for non-life threatening injuries. Braden's bail is set at $75,000.
Opinion - Colleges these days are not as safe as they used to be. Ever since the 32 deaths at Virginia Tech, college students are more aware of the people they are around and what they are doing. It is a shame that such a small confrontation can stem into gunshots being fired. I pray for the safe recovery of the three victims and that justice will be swift and unrelenting.
International - 2 Italian soldiers were freed from captors in Afghanistan. Two Italians, an Afghani translator, and their driver were all kidnapped over the weekend. Italian and British forces carried a military operation to save the abducted. The military operation was a success in that no allied casualties were taken, the kidnapped were freed and all the captors, nine in all, were killed. The translator and the driver conditions however, are not known. The Italians were considered to be missing after they did not cross the next military checkpoint at a certain time. rescuers worked quickly to find the group in fear of the captors giving them to a different bunch of people to be hidden away. It is not known whether or not the abductors were Taliban extremists or common criminals.
Opinion - This story goes to show that no one from any country are safe from Taliban and Al Qaeda extremists. their goal is to kill us all and they will not stop their attacks for no one. If you think about it, these people are the perfect soldiers in that they are ready and willing to die for their cause in a heartbeat. It's frightening.

Radicals know no boundries when it comes to taking hostages or killing soldiers.
