Israeli-Palestinian violence escalates around Al Aqsa Mosque

In the West Bank clashes, three more Palestinians and two Israeli soldiers were killed, raising four days of deadly riots tied to Netanyahu's touristic tunnel decision and stalled peace talks with Yasser Arafat.

Polly Klaas killer sentenced to death in California
Richard Allen Davis was condemned to death on California’s death row for abducting and killing Polly Klaas in 1993. The verdict sparked outrage from Polly’s family, with her father Marc Klaas attacking Davis as he was led from the courtroom. The case ended after a nationwide search and the discovery of Polly's body in December. Davis denied a sexual act, claiming Polly's remark about her father influenced him, a claim prosecutors rejected as unsubstantiated.
