World: The Islamic militant behind the bloody attack on an Algerian natural gas plant in 2013 has been killed in a American air strike, according to Libyan officials. Mokhtar Belmokhtar and other fighters were reported killed, but American authorities are less certain. They say they still need DNA evidence of Belmokhtar’s death. The Chadian army claimed to have killed him two years ago.

Back in 2013 in the Algerian desert, Belmokhtar, known as “the one-eyed,” organized the attack in which 800 people were taken hostage and 38 killed.

Jailbreak: The local prosecutor in the case of two men who escaped from a high security prison in upstate New York said the cons had access to power tools left in the prison by contractors doing work.

Richard Matt and David Sweat are believed to have worked between midnight and 5 am for several days. Hundreds of police officers are still searching around Dannemora, NY near the Canadian border.

Hard Rock: The Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl broke his leg falling into the crowd at a stadium in Goteborg, Sweden. Lying on his back in the pit he announced into a microphone, “”I think I really broke my leg.” He promised to finish the show, and did. Grohl was carted off to the hospital and returned on a stretcher with his ankle bandaged. He finished the band’s performance sitting in a chair. That makes it a rocking chair, doesn’t it?
