Islamic center fire...Leslie Nielsen dead...WikiLeaks disclosure assailed





CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — The FBI is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of whoever set a fire at the Oregon mosque where a man accused of plotting a terrorist attack worshipped. Authorities don't know who started the blaze at the Salman Al-Farisi Islamic Center in Corvallis. But they say they believe it may have been targeted because of its connection to the Somali-born man.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The actor who played a bumbling doctor in the "Airplane" movie has died. Leslie Nielsen was 84. The Canadian-born actor had an illustrious career after moving to Hollywood in the mid-1950s. His agent says Nielsen died Sunday at a hospital near his Fort Lauderdale, Fla., home of complications from pneumonia.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says WikiLeaks' decision to release classified U.S. diplomatic cables endangers U.S. diplomats, intelligence agents and democratic activists seeking U.S. help. The website has defied U.S. demands that it not publish the documents. The White House says the initial and often candid reports are "often incomplete" and don't always shape final policy decisions.

NEW YORK (AP) — Retailers are hoping the strong numbers they're seeing this weekend hold up for the entire holiday shopping season. More shoppers crowded stores and malls than last year on Black Friday and have maintained steady traffic the rest of the weekend.

MORENCI, Mich. (AP) — Three boys have gone missing in Michigan on the same day their father tried to hang himself. Police say the youngsters are feared to be in "extreme danger," and they say the father has not been ruled out as a suspect in their disappearance. Authorities say the father, John Skelton, was hospitalized in Ohio for "mental health issues" after he attempted suicide on Friday.
