Spanish Interior Minister Jorge Fernandez Diaz told reporters Thursday that there was a "clear indication" that those detained could have been planning an attack in Spain or Europe.

LONDON — South Africa is the lone African gold winner so far at this year's Olympics, with three medals, but that is not too surprising. More than half of sub-Saharan African countries have never won gold, and many have never won a single Olympic medal.

U.S. officials say the Obama administration is giving $12 million in new humanitarian aid for beleaguered Syrian civilians as a civil war rages between rebels and the Assad regime in Aleppo and elsewhere.

AL-MARJ, Lebanon (Reuters) - Messages broadcast from mosque loudspeakers warned residents of Damascus neighborhoods to leave their homes and helicopter gunships spitting bullets made sure they heeded the call. Now home for 18 families from the Syrian capital is a school building in Lebanon's Bekaa Vally. But they claim they have been left to their fate by Lebanese authorities and international aid agencies. And when school restarts after the summer vacation, they have no idea where they will go. ...

The struggle in parts of Aleppo held by insurgents is likely to be more protracted than last month's battles in the capital, inflicting further bloodshed and damage on Syria's largest city and driving more of the population out, analysts say. ...
