GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba -- In the few weeks since Rear Adm. David B. Woods took charge here, he has looked in on the men accused of killing two of his Naval Academy classmates, walked the camps where President Barack Obama's closure order has faded in the sun and presided over a somber ceremony marking the 10th anniversary of America's 21st-century Day of Infamy.

DETROIT — An Ohio woman who is half-Jewish and half-Arab says that she and two Indian Americans were detained Sunday by armed officers on an airplane at Detroit Metro Airport and then jailed and strip-searched — an incident that civil rights leaders say was one of many cases of law enforcement targeting minorities on the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

OGDEN -- All Utahns go through intense security at the airport because of the terrorist attacks 10 years ago Sunday, but how many know:

Why one museum's volunteers had to have background checks before they could show visitors the displays?

Why there are so many Saudi students in Utah and so few Iranians?

Why the books you check out at the library could still get you in trouble?

BALTIMORE -- A federal judge in Baltimore ordered that a 21-year-old Woodlawn, Md., man be held until his trial in connection with a foiled jihadist plot to kill American soldiers using a car bomb. During a hearing Monday, new details about the allegations against Antonio Martinez were revealed, as well as his likely defense -- that he was entrapped.

Martinez, who also went by the name Muhammad Hussain, was arrested last week as part of an FBI sting operation, after attempting to detonate a phony car bomb -- supplied by undercover agents -- at a military recruiting center in Catonsville, Md.

UN agency pushes new rules on air cargo security

NEW YORK -- The U.N. agency that oversees aviation is pushing new guidelines for cargo security to counter al-Qaida's new mail-bomb strategy, but is stopping short of calling for 100 percent screening of packages, as pilots and some U.S. lawmakers have urged.

The proposed changes by the International Civil Aviation Organization concentrate on "supply-chain security," or checking outbound shipments before they even reach the airport. A draft of new guidelines will go out to all 190 member countries in the next few weeks, the agency says.

Governments are increasingly worried about cargo security as the holiday season swells the number of packages moving around the world.

In October, militants based in Yemen tried to blow up cargo jets with 38 bombs hidden in printer cartridges. The bombs were stopped only because of a tip from Saudi intelligence officials, Transportation Security Administration chief John Pistole told Congress.
