An Arizona man having a morning coffee was fatally attacked on Friday by a male black bear that caught him unaware and dragged him down an embankment before a neighbor shot and killed it, officials said.A preliminary investigation by the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office determined that Steven Jackson, 66, of Tucson, had been sitting at a table on his property in the Groom Creek area south of Prescott where he was building a home, the office said in a statement.

The scissors are six inches long, with blue plastic handles, just like a pair Target might sell for $9.99.They can easily go unnoticed by passengers.But for the driver who keeps them tucked in her car door, they also have an ominous use."They're sturdy," she said."Like they wouldn't bend if I poked somebody hard with them."

This morning, Washingtonians were riveted by a black bear wandering around Brookland.It crossed streets, loped over lawns, climbed a tree, ate leaves, scratched its little butt on a branch, licked its lips, and stared-with what may have been bewilderment-at the crowd gathering below.Eventually, after MPD officers shot it with a tranquilizing dart, the bear clambered down from the tree and briefly disappeared into the neighborhood before the authorities apprehended it, reportedly slumbering in a nearby backyard.

A 28-year-old female German student and three accomplices have been found guilty of carrying out a string of attacks on members of Germany's neo-Nazi scene, in one of the most high-profile trials of a group of militant leftists since the days of the Baader-Meinhof group.The woman, who in keeping with Germany's strict privacy laws was referred to only as Lina E, was sentenced on Wednesday to five years and three months in prison amid chaotic scenes at a court in Dresden, eastern Germany.
