Play/Pause VideoBerlusconi bloodied but unbowed in Milan
The Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is recovering from a broken nose and smashed teeth after an attack at a political rally in Milan. Television footage caught the moment he was hit in the face with an object by someone in the crowd.
The premier was bundled into a car by aides and rushed away minutes after addressing thousands of supporters. The 73-year-old was obviously shocked and was kept in hospital overnight.
He’s said to have been hit by a small model of Milan cathedral, thrown at close range. A 42-year-old man has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault. Massimo Tartaglia is reported to have been receiving treatment for mental problems at a clinic for several years.

Statement from Tom Brokaw on fatal accident
NBC News
updated 4:27 p.m. CT, Fri., Dec . 4, 2009
Former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw issued the following statement Friday after his car collided with a sport utility vehicle in New York. The driver of the second vehicle was killed:
Tom and Meredith Brokaw, at around 1 p.m. today, were in a three vehicle accident on the Bruckner Expressway. The Brokaws were in the far left lane when they noticed a spool of cable bouncing along the far right lane. Just then, a green SUV in the right lane came up fast and tried to avoid the cable. The driver lost control of her vehicle and slid into the middle lane, forcing a mail truck into the Brokaw lane of traffic.
As the mail truck careened into the Brokaw lane, Tom hit the brakes hard and skidded along the median. When the mail truck catapulted the median the Brokaw vehicle slid into it. Neither Tom nor Meredith were injured but tragically the driver of the SUV was thrown from her vehicle and killed. Tom and Meredith are greatly saddened by this loss of life. [...]

Feds drop case against blackwater guard
US to drop shooting case against Blackwater guard
By MATT APUZZO – 1 day ago
WASHINGTON — Prosecutors say they'll drop manslaughter charges against one of the Blackwater Worldwide contractors charged in a deadly 2007 Baghdad shooting.
In court documents Friday, prosecutors said they have asked that the case against Nicholas Slatten of Sparta, Tenn., be dropped.
The request itself was sealed, so it's unclear why the case was being dropped. But it could be a bad sign for the government. After the shooting, some guards spoke to investigators under the promise of immunity. Prosecutors have been arguing behind closed doors that the immunity deal did not taint the case.
Five guards, all military veterans, face charges in the shooting that left 17 Iraqis dead. Prosecutors say the shooting was unprovoked, but Blackwater says its convoy was ambushed.
