Montana allows assisted death by own action ruling
Montana Supreme Court rules that nothing in state law blocks patient driven physician assisted suicide, paving the way for doctors to prescribe lifesaving drugs to mentally competent terminally ill patients. The decision stops short of declaring a constitutional right but upholds policy support for the practice. In a separate report, investigators probe 400 to 500 animal remains found at a Philadelphia home linked to possible religious ritual.

Death by own action bomber invited on CIA outpost
The bomber who killed seven CIA staff at a southeastern Afghanistan outpost had been invited onto the base and not searched. A former official said the bomber was being courted as an informant and entered the camp with a CIA debriefer present. The attack killed the post chief and wounded six others, marking the agency's deadliest strike since 2001 beyond the embassy bombing era.
