MEXICO
U.S. airman killed in bar
A gang of gunmen killed an off-duty U.S. airman and five other people early Wednesday at a bar in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez, authorities said. Four other men were killed outside an elementary school in another part of town, raising to 30 the number of homicides in Ciudad Juarez in just four days. Staff Sgt. David Booher, assigned to a medical unit at Holloman Air Force outside Alamogordo, N.M., was among those killed in the bar, the U.S. Air Force said.
NICARAGUA
Tropical Storm Ida forms
Tropical Storm Ida formed in the southwestern Caribbean on Wednesday, quickly gaining muscle and prompting storm warnings for the coast of Nicaragua and two Colombian islands.
PARAGUAY
Top commanders fired
President Fernando Lugo fired his military chiefs Wednesday, a day after denying he had worries about a coup amid calls for his impeachment. In a statement given to journalists at the presidential palace, Lugo named new commanders for the army, air force and navy without explaining his reasons.
MYANMAR
Rare U.S. diplomatic visit
The highest-ranking American diplomat to visit Myanmar in 14 years offered improved relations Wednesday if its military regime moves toward democracy, putting into action the Obama administration's new policy of engagement with the isolated country. Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell spoke after talks with the ruling generals and a rare meeting with opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate who has been under house arrest for most of the last two decades.
RUSSIA
Thousands fete Unity Day
Tens of thousands of people took part in Moscow street rallies and concerts Wednesday on a new national holiday that the Kremlin tried to portray as a celebration of Russia's ethnic diversity. The Moscow rallies were peaceful, police said, but a nationalist march of a few hundred people on the outskirts of St. Petersburg turned violent when six people tried to protest. Nationalists attacked the protesters, kicking some of them as they lay on the ground. The Kremlin introduced National Unity Day in 2005 to replace the traditional Nov. 7 celebration of the 1917 Revolution that brought the Bolsheviks to power.
