Paraguay supermarket fire kills at least 318 in Asuncion
Survivors said locked doors slowed or blocked escapes during the Sunday blaze at a three story Yeua Bolanos market in Asuncion. Police investigated whether a gas canister caused the fire as owners denied door locking. Rescue efforts continued as coffins arrived and mourners gathered amid high temperatures and fear of collapse.

Protests Grow Over Skating Rink on Puritan Grave Site
Residents and church leaders in Worcester protest plans to build a skating rink on part of the historic Common where Puritan ancestors are buried. The site, part of a $5 million park overhaul begun in May, is on the National Register of Historic Places and linked to the city’s 1669 Common. The First Congregational Church seeks state Historical Commission action after headstones were uncovered, warning the project breaches a century-old pledge to maintain the land with respect and dignity.

Turkish truckers withdraw from Iraq amid hostage fears
Masked gunmen killed a blindfolded Turkish hostage in a grisly online video aimed at warning Muslim workers away from Iraq. In response, Turkish truckers halted shipments for U.S. forces to try to secure the release of two other captives, as militants push for withdrawal of foreign workers. U.S. Marines clashed with gunmen near Muqtada al-Sadr’s Najaf home, killing one woman and wounding three others as religious figures condemned the killings.
