2 planes violate Obama no-fly zone

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Authorities say two planes were chased by military fighter jets from Colorado Springs and briefly detained because they violated a no-fly zone while President Barack Obama was in Nevada campaigning for Sen. Harry Reid.

Secret Service Special Agent Max Milien told the Colorado Springs Gazette that the pilots of the two single-engine Cessnas were interviewed and that no further investigation was warranted. The pilots crossed the no-fly zone Friday morning.

Two F-16 fighter jets from the North American Aerospace Defense Command were dispatched to catch the planes. One of the Cessnas was escorted to the North Las Vegas Airport and the other was taken to Mesquite, Nev.

It was unclear where the Cessnas were headed.

2 live 1950s bombs found in L.A. home

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Los Angeles Police bomb squad has removed two live Korean War-era military bombs from a house in the Glassell Park neighborhood.

Sgt. Wayne Guillary says a man cleaning the garage of his parents' home found the ordnance late Saturday morning. The bomb squad responded and determined the devices, which dated back to the 1950s, were live.

They were safely removed by late afternoon and taken to another location to be detonated. They had apparently been stored at the house for some time.

Surrounding streets were briefly closed to traffic and dozens of people within a 300 yard radius were evacuated.

2 tourists who died in river memorialized

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Friends silently and solemnly dropped white roses into the Delaware River on Saturday in memory of the two Hungarian students who died when the amphibious tourist boat they were riding was struck by a barge and sank.

City officials, religious leaders and Hungarian diplomats joined the group of grieving Hungarian exchange students at a memorial service dedicated to 20-year-old Szabolcs Prem and 16-year-old Dora Schwendtner, who drowned after the duck boat capsized Wednesday.

"The loss of a young life, of two young lives, is almost impossible to understand and almost impossible to accept," said Bela Szombati, the Hungarian ambassador to the United States. "We stand with you, we stand with the children, the young people."

At the end of the ceremony, wreaths and flowers were dropped into the river and a pair of doves were released.
