Warsaw — A LOT Polish Airlines Boeing 767 flying from New York with 227 people on board makes an emergency landing at Warsaw's airport on Tuesday after having problems lowering its landing gear. The plane had dropped fuel and circled above Warsaw for some time, and a landing strip was especially prepared at the airport in case of a crash landing. No one was injured during the emergency landing, according to an airline spokesman.

Tripoli — Libyan women pose for a picture amid the rubble of the destroyed Beit al-Samed, or Resisting House, as dubbed by slain Libyan strongman Moammar Kadafi, who placed an iconic statue of a golden-colored fist grabbing a U.S. fighter jet at the site in his Bab al-Aziziya compound after it was bombed by the U.S. in 1986. Kadafi used the house as a museum and oratory stage. National Transitional Council fighters overran the compound in August and pulled down the structure completely in October.
