Shuttle Launch Scrubbed

The scheduled late-morning liftoff of space shuttle Atlantis on Friday is likely to be delayed by 24 hours, NASA program manager Wayne Hale told CNN. As NASA prepared for launch, crews on the launchpad were troubleshooting a glitch in a fuel sensor for the main-engine cutoff system. A similar sensor has plagued previous missions, and a malfunctioning fuel cell held up the launch of Atlantis earlier in the week.

Just days before the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, a videotape of previously unaired footage of Osama bin Laden and two of the hijackers surfaced Thursday. The videotape, believed to have been shot in Afghanistan in the weeks before the attack, was shown on the Arab television channel Al-Jazeera.

A massive car bomb exploded today as three U.S. armored Humvees rolled down a street near the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. Two U.S. soldiers and 16 Afghans were killed. The blast spread debris and body parts across the road. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.

A miniseries about the events leading to the September 11 attacks is "terribly wrong" and ABC should correct it or not air it, former Clinton administration officials demanded in letters to the head of ABC's parent company.

Israel has lifted its air blockade of Lebanon, but the naval blockade will remain in place until troops from the United Nations peacekeeping force are in place, the Israeli Foreign Ministry said.

At least 29 people have been killed in two blasts at a Muslim graveyard in western India, police and medics say. More than 125 others were hurt in the explosions after Friday prayers in Malegaon. The hospital in the town says 20 of them are in a serious condition.

The Federal Aviation Administration in the U.S. is cracking down on air traffic controllers who nap during break time, overruling standing policy in at least one control centre. FAA workers at an Indianapolis control centre, which handles flight traffic into airports in Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and West Virginia, were notified during the weekend that the agency was ending a policy that allowed workers to doze off during down time.
