The Air France plane that disappeared yesterday morning has been found, and sadly, no survivors with it. The Brazilian military located Fight AF447 as it crashed into the Atlantic.

The pressure is on the U.S. over Cuba being allowed back into the Organization of American States, an invitation that Cuba said it won't accept.

Al-Zawahari mouths off again on the eve of Obama traveling to the Middle East.

And the latest depressing reason with why Gitmo needs to be closed (you probably won't see this all over the air tomorrow):

A Yemeni detainee at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp has died in an "apparent suicide," US military officials say.

Guards found 31-year-old Muhammad Ahmad Abdallah Saleh unresponsive and not breathing in his cell Monday night, the military said

The Yemeni prisoner, known as al-Hanashi, had been held without charge at the camp since February 2002.

Saleh had travelled Afghanistan in 2001 and joined the Taliban, according to declassified US military documents.

But he later said he was to forced to fight by the group and denied any link to al-Qaeda, the documents say.
