WASHINGTON (AP) — Iowa's snow-covered fields and friendly villages were fraught with danger for pollsters, who had a tough time pinning down the state's fickle electorate.
Most poll-takers took it on the chin when Donald Trump's lead in pre-election polls ended with a Ted Cruz victory at Monday's caucuses. Marco Rubio's strong third-place showing among Republicans seemed to sneak up on pollsters, too.
MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — An explosion and fire blew a gaping hole in a commercial airliner, forcing it to make an emergency landing in Mogadishu late Tuesday, officials and witnesses said. At least two passengers were injured, but it appeared that most of the people aboard escaped unscathed.
The pilot said he thought it was a bomb. An aviation expert who looked at photographs of the hole in the fuselage said the damage was consistent with an explosive device.
