| Colorado shooting: Three killed at Walmart in Thornton as customers flee in panic Posted: 01 Nov 2017 10:53 PM PDT  Two men and a woman were killed in a shooting inside a suburban Denver Walmart on Wednesday night that forced customers to either hide or flee. Thornton police reported "multiple parties down" and advised people to stay away from the area as dozens of police cruisers and emergency vehicles raced to the scene. The men died at the Colorado store, and the woman died at a hospital. Police spokesman Victor Avila said a man nonchalantly entered the store and fired a handgun into a group of people before fleeing in a car. No one has been arrested. "This is a very heinous act," Avila said. "We don't know exactly what the motive of the person was, but it was certainly a terrible act." The spokesman said there is currently no indication that the shooting was an act of terror. Denver Walmart shooting map Reports of shots fired came shortly before 6:30 p.m. local time, a police spokesman told local 9NEWS in Denver. An hour after the incident, the situation, the nature of the incident or status of the threat remained unclear, he said.

Meanwhile, Brandon Bonney said he received a call from his brother, who was inside the store. "Bro, I'm inside Walmart, and there's a shooting here," Bonney said his brother told him. Bonney told his brother to silence his phone, stay calm and "just get somewhere and hide," The Post reported. Investigators have not released any details about the circumstances of the shooting or the condition of the injured woman. "Like six pops, everyone got down, everyone started screaming."

| The Best Food Processors, According To Amazon Reviewers Posted: 01 Nov 2017 02:36 PM PDT  Food processors are often viewed as the underrated step-child of the blender, but they are so much more than a pint-sized smoothie maker. Blenders are better for puréeing liquids and frozen foods like soups, frozen berries and ice. Food processors, on the other hand, make quick work out of chopping rough foods like nuts and spices, and are better when dealing with smaller quantities of food like garlic and herbs for sauces, dressings, dips, and homemade flours.

| Teva shares topple on profit warning, uncertain future Posted: 02 Nov 2017 10:57 AM PDT  By Steven Scheer and Ari Rabinovitch JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Teva Pharmaceutical Industries , the world's biggest generic medicine maker, came under investor and market pressure on Thursday after saying it would miss 2017 profit forecasts. Shares in the Israeli-based company dropped by as much as 20 percent after it issued the profit warning, which it said was due to falling prices of generics in the U.S. market and weakening sales of its multiple sclerosis drug Copaxone, which fell 7 percent in the third quarter in the United States. Investors are pushing Teva, which is battling narrowing profit margins, a nearly $35 billion debt burden that could lead to a credit rating downgrade, for clarity on its future.

| Trove of Bin Laden documents reveal Iran's secret dealings with al-Qaeda Posted: 01 Nov 2017 01:35 PM PDT  A newly released trove of documents recovered from Osama bin Laden's Pakistan compound have revealed "secret dealings" between Iran and al-Qaeda. Nearly half a million files found on the computer seized in the May 2, 2011, US raid on the al-Qaeda founder's hideout in Abbottabad were released by the CIA on Wednesday. A never-before-seen 19-page document purportedly written by a senior member of al-Qaeda details an arrangement between Iran and members of the group to strike American interests in "Saudi Arabia and the Gulf." In exchange, Shia Iran offered Sunni militants "money, arms" and "training in Hizbollah camps in Lebanon." Iranian intelligence facilitated the travel of some operatives with visas, while sheltering others. The author of the file, described as "well-connected," explains that al-Qaeda's forces violated the terms of the agreement of the deal, however, resulting in several men being detained. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, along with with members of the national security team, receive an update on the mission against Osama bin Laden in the Situation Room of the White House Credit: AP Iranian connections to Hizballah and Palestinian militant groups, such as Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, are well-documented, but its ties to al-Qaeda have until now mostly been shrouded in secrecy. The timing of the release comes as US President Donald Trump is trying to decertify a bilateral deal agreed with Iran to end its nuclear proliferation programme, which was negotiated by his predecessor Barack Obama and one which he has described as the "worst deal ever made". Mr Trump has been keen to portray Tehran as America's greatest threat and will no doubt seize upon the documents as proof of the Islamic republic's support for terrorism in the region. Speaking at a national security seminar organised by the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies in Washington DC last month about the release of the documents, Mike Pompeo, CIA director, said al-Qaeda and Iran have always built "secret and open" ties. Central Intelligence Agency Director Mike Pompeo arrives for a closed briefing before the House Intelligence Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., U.S. Credit: Reuters Mr Pompeo attributed the relationship between the two parties to the fact that they view the West as a common enemy, referring to an "ideological consensus" of their cooperation against the West. He added that the two sides did not fight against each other because they considered the West a greater threat to them. Mr Pompeo stressed that CIA is still watching these relations, especially with the complexity of the situation in Syria, noting that US intelligence is tracking the terrorist organisations' loss of territories in Syria and Iraq. His comments have raised alarm bells among critics of Mr Trump's new strategy to counter Iranian influence, wary that hawks like Mr Pompeo may be making a case for war. The documents also contained a log of bin Laden's video collection, which included pornographic material, several Hollywood movies and three documentaries about himself. Two newly-released videos also show scenes from the wedding of bin Laden's son Hamza, the first picture of the heir apparent as an adult. First video of Osama bin Laden's son Hamza as an adult 00:57 The images are not current, but they are much more recent than the photo al-Qaeda is willing to distribute. According to Thomas Joscelyn and Bill Roggio, scholars from the foundation who were allowed to study the trove before it was made public, it provides new insights. "The Abbottabad repository confirms that bin Laden was anything but retired when US forces knocked down his door. He was not a mere figurehead," they write in the Long War Journal. "During the final months of his life, Osama bin Laden was communicating with subordinates around the globe. Recovered memos discuss the various committees and lieutenants who helped bin Laden manage his sprawling empire of terror." With 470,000 files released in one trance, it will likely take weeks for journalists, academics, and other researchers to shift through the documents in the trove and contextualise their significance.
