Gunfire echoed across the capital Tuesday as Malian government troops battled each other, killing at least 12 people as one side tried to oust soldiers who seized power in a coup over a month ago. Mali's coup leaders, who ostensibly handed over power to an interim civilian government on April 12 but who still wield power, said they control the state broadcaster, the airport and a military base, fending off attacks by opposing forces. Sanogo told a private radio station Monday night that the countercoup had failed and that his soldiers have captured foreign fighters.

Iran has stepped up its military and financial aid to the Syrian government, departing US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has warned. Mrs Clinton, who steps down on Thursday, said there were also signs that Russia continues to supply Syria with money and "equipment". A spilling-over of the conflict into neighbouring countries was "within the realm of the possible now", she said. Her comments came amid contradictory claims of an Israeli strike in Syria. The Syrian army said Israeli war planes had bombed a military research centre north-west of Damascus, but the US and others said lorries carrying weapons bound for Lebanon were hit. Israel has maintained silence about the incident, but Syria has made a formal complaint to UN, saying it reserves the right to defend itself. Meanwhile, Russia and Iran have strongly denounced the attack. 'Lethal civil war' In her final press interview as US Secretary of State, Mrs Clinton said one of Iran's "highest priorities" was keeping Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in power". "We believe they have acted on that by sending in more personnel, not only to help Assad, but to support and advise military security forces," she told reporters. Mrs Clinton added that Iran had increased the quality of its arms sent to Syria because "Assad is using up his weaponry". She expressed similar concerns with regards to Russia's involvement in the conflict. "We have reason to believe that the Russians continue to supply financial and military assistance ...

Five defendants are facing trial over the 9/11 attacks, in a war crimes tribunal at Guantanamo Bay. The pre-trial hearings, which kicked off on Monday, are intended to resolve dozens of legal issues. Among those on trial is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the attacks that killed nearly three thousand people. Four others are accused of training and aiding the hijackers. The defendants have been in US custody for a decade now. In 2006 president George W. Bush announced they were among captives sent to Guantanamo from secret overseas prisons. Defence lawyers have asked the judge to order the US government to release documents regarding the CIA's alleged role in moving suspects across international borders. Anti-war activist Sara Flounders says CIA is using secret prisons outside the country to escape human rights laws.

Caleb Moore - professional snowmobiler has died from injuries he sustained during a horrific crash during the Aspen X Games last week. Caleb Moore passed away this morning in Colorado, a family spokesperson said. Moore's family declined to release further details about the death, but stated on Sunday that he had suffered a "brain complication" stemming from the accident ... on top of a severe concussion and bleeding of the heart. Moore was competing at the snowmobile freestyle final last Thursday when his 450-pound snowmobile flipped over and landed on top of him. ESPN released a statement Tuesday, saying, "We've worked closely on safety issues with athletes, course designers and other experts for each of the 18 years of X Games. Still, when the world's best compete at the highest level in any sport, risks remain." Caleb -- once an avid all-terrain vehicle rider -- was a 4-time X Games medalist who first began competing in 2010, after just one month of practicing on snowmobiles.
