From the CNN Center in Atlanta, I'm Nicole Lapin. Here is a look at what's happening right NOW IN THE NEWS.
The Pentagon is now charging six detainees at Guantanamo Bay with murder and war crimes in connection with the 9.11 attacks. If convicted, they could all get the death penalty, among them, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the 9.11 attacks. The list also includes Mohammed al-Qahtani, the so-called 20th hijacker 1.
Two journalists working for CBS News are currently missing in Basra. The network is now saying that efforts are underway to find them and that network also says that their families have been notified. Basra, of course, is Iraq's second largest city in southeastern Iraq.
Defense 2 Secretary Robert Gates is now endorsing 3 a proposal to pause a troop drawdown in Iraq. He made the announcement after meeting with Iraqi leaders and his top commander in Iraq, General David Petraeus.
Internet giant Yahoo! has rebuffed Microsoft's 45-billion-dollar takeover bid, saying that it substantially undervalues the company. Last month Microsoft pitched its offer at 31 dollars for every Yahoo! share. Yahoo! management has unanimously rejected the offer.
Now flags are at half-staff on Capitol Hill in honor of Congressman 4 Tom Lantos, the California Democrat 5 and also the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee died this morning at Bethesda Medical Centre. Lantos was a Holocaust 6 survivor 7 who immigrated 8 to the United States in 1947. He became the first and only Holocaust survivor to serve in Congress when he was elected to the House in 1980. The congressman was diagnosed in December with esophageal cancer. He was 80 years old.
