McClelland killing echoes Byrd case in East Texas
Prosecutors say the death of Brandon McClelland near Paris contrasts with the James Byrd dragging scandal. Two white men face murder charges after McClelland was run over and dragged up to 70 feet. Autopsy pending, investigators seek marks of tying. Community activists question motive and race dynamics in the 26,000 person town.

Ultra-Orthodox Shas may block Livni coalition in Israel
The ultra-Orthodox Shas Party refuses to join Tzipi Livni's new coalition over funding for the poor and Jerusalem policy. With 12 seats, Shas could clinch a Livni majority or push her to seek early elections, possibly freezing peace talks with the Palestinians and Syria. Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud leads polls to win.
