    The U.S. is deploying 80 troops to Chad to aid in the search for nearly 300 Nigerian girls kidnapped by Boko Haram last month.

  • Thirty one people were killed in a terrorist attack in Urumqi, China, that involved multiple explosives and two SUVs being driven into crowds.
  • Two Georgia Democrats have joined in the calls for the resignation of Veterans' Affairs (VA) Secretary Eric Shinseki. A whistleblowing VA police officer in Miami, meanwhile, says the veterans hospital there is plagued by theft, abuse, and drug dealing.
  • House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi selected Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) to serve as the top Democrat on the select committee on Benghazi and made four other appointments.
  • Activists and McDonald's workers went to the company's corporate headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois, to protest for higher wages; 138 of them were arrested on charges of trespassing.
  • A new poll found 47 percent of unemployed respondents saying they've "completely given up on looking for a job."
  • Caltech announced that last year one of its telescopes observed a star going supernova.
