How a small-time drug bust ignited a feud between police and a Catholic hospital
The standoff started with a drug stakeout. Last August, police in Lorain, Ohio, arrested a man they suspected of hiding a baggie of drugs in his butt. He denied it, but police were certain, so they took him to a local hospital for a body cavity search.
The case then swerved into unusual territory: The man would not agree to the procedure, so the police got a judge to order it. The doctors refused, saying it was dangerous and unethical — and later added that it violated the hospital’s Catholic principles.
American Airlines flight diverted to Rome due to bomb threat
An American Airlines flight traveling from New York to New Delhi was diverted to Rome Sunday due to a bomb threat, according to a source familiar with the situation.
In a statement, American Airlines said Flight AA292 was traveling from John F. Kennedy International Airport to Indira Gandhi International Airport before it diverted to Leonardo da Vinci Rome Fiumicino Airport “due to a possible security issue," adding later that it "was determined to be non-credible." Per Indira Gandhi International Airport's protocol, an inspection was required before the plane landed there.
