The remains of a body have been found on the rear tyres of a plane that flew from Beirut to the Saudi capital of Riyadh, Lebanon's state news agency said yesterday.
The National News Agency report said the jet from the Nasair company landed in Riyadh just after midnight with 130 people on board.
The remains were discovered shortly afterwards during main-tenance work on the plane.
The report said yesterday investigations were underway and a number of passengers reported seeing a man with a backpack running towards the plane before it took off.
Cockpit window alert
US airlines will have to inspect the cockpit window heaters on 1,212 Boeing airliners and possibly replace them under a safety order the Federal Aviation Administration will issue this week.
The window heaters have been linked to dozens of incidents involving in-flight fires, smoke, open streams of electricity known as electrical arcing, and shattered windscreens in Boeing planes. In many cases, pilots have made emergency landings.
The source of the problem was identified in 2004 as a simple loose screw that chafes power wires where they connect to heating wires in the windows.
Hillary Clinton conducts wedding
Former US president Bill Clinton will preside at the wedding of New York congressman Anthony Weiner to a long-time aide of his wife, secretary of state Hillary Clinton.
Mr Weiner, 45, and his 34-year-old fiancée Huma Abedin are to be married at the Oheka Castle in Huntington on Long Island.
While the rules in Huntington do not explicitly grant authority to a former president to perform a wedding, Mr Clinton's spokesman Matt McKenna confirmed he would conduct the ceremony and had authorisation to do so.
Dog taped to fridge
A Colorado woman convicted of taping her boyfriend's dog to a fridge in a jealous fit was sentenced to 30 days in jail and three years' probation.
Abby Toll, 21, was sentenced after she was convicted of felony animal cruelty in April. She could have faced up to 18 months in prison. Prosecutors say Toll used hair ties and packing tape to bind the snout and legs of her boyfriend's two-year-old Shiba Inu named Rex, then taped the dog upside-down to the fridge.
Two bodies recovered from Delaware River
Two bodies have been recovered from the Delaware River in Philadelphia after a barge crashed into a stricken tourist duck boat.
Two Hungarian tourists were declared missing and one of the bodies was identified as 16-year-old Dora Schwendtner. Her body was spotted by a fishing boat crew about two miles downriver from the site of last Wednesday's collision. The second body, believed to be that of Szabolcs Prem, 20, was retrieved later.
Betancourt asks for £4.5m in damages
Former hostage Ingrid Betancourt has asked Colombia's government to pay her £4.5 million for damages she suffered during six years in rebel captivity.
Ms Betancourt, 48, was kidnapped in February 2002 by left-wing guerrillas while campaigning for president in Colombia's south, a long-time rebel stronghold. She was among 15 captives - including three Americans - rescued in 2008 by Colombia's military in an elaborate ruse after months of preparation.
The Franco-Colombian, who now divides her time between New York and Paris, is seeking the payment for herself and her two children, mother and sister.
Woman burned in grate blast horror
Flames from an underground explosion shot up through a metal pavement grate, burning a woman who was standing there.
Pittsburgh police sergeant William Gorman said witnesses had said the woman "just burst into flames".
Duquesne Light officials said a cable failure last night, local time, caused the explosion, which also shook nearby buildings. The woman was transported to a hospital with first and second-degree burns on her face, arms and legs.
Authorities closed Boulevard of the Allies for more than an hour while they tried to pin down the cause of the blast. The street has since reopened.
Five injured in Pamplona bull-running weekend
Five revellers were injured but there were no gorings at a danger-filled and crowded weekend running of the bulls at Spain's San Fermin festival yesterday.
Red Cross spokesman Jose Aldaba said several people were treated by mobile units along the 850-metre course from a holding pen on the edge of town to Pamplona's central bull ring.
Morning dew on the cobblestone surface of the course and large crowds, many of whom had partied all night, had increased the likelihood of runners slipping or tripping up as the bulls raced down narrow passageways.
The particularly long-horned, all-black bulls yesterday were from the Dolores Aguirre breeding ranch and included Burgalito, a 1,300-pound muscular specimen.
