A government official
in Damascus said two
mortars exploded near
one of Syrian President
Bashar Al-Assad’s palaces
on Tuesday, though it was
not clear whether Assad
was present at the time of
the strike. In Aleppo, a
missile attack leveled a

The Coast Guard said
on Monday the cause of
the fire that left the Carnival
cruise liner Triumph
without power for five
days was a leak in a fuel oil
return line that sprayed
onto a hot surface in the
vessel’s engine room, and
because the resultant fire
burned so hot the crew
could not immediately extinguish
the blaze. The
fire left 4,200 passengers
and crew with no electrical
power, a scarcity of
food, and few working toilets.

Police in Brussels began
a search on Tuesday for
eight men who punched a
hole in a security fence at
the city’s international airport,
drove onto the tarmac,
and armed with
weapons robbed a Swissbound

of diamonds, driving off
into the darkness in two
vehicles. The heist was estimated
at $50 million.
That meteor that
slashed across the Russian
sky on Friday was the
largest to hit the Earth in
a century, a research team
from Ural Federal University
said on Tuesday, estimating
its size as 55 feet
diameter and its weight at

global sensors said the energy
unleashed from the
rock’s disintegration was
500 kilotons, or more than
30 times the energy of the
Hiroshima atomic bomb.

an unfamiliar car on his
property on February 13.
The car evaded his approach
and his attempt to
block it, going through his
