RECIFE, Brazil – Search ships methodically worked through a "sea of debris" from a doomed Air France jet Sunday, recovering four more bodies near the spot where the Airbus A330 is believed to have gone down a week ago.

Six bodies have been retrieved since Saturday and ships were headed to pick up more Sunday afternoon after pilots participating in a grid search reported additional sightings. The bodies have been found in an area about 45 miles (70 kilometers) from where the jet sent out messages signaling electrical failures and loss of cabin pressure.

"We're navigating through a sea of debris," Brazilian Navy Capt. Giucemar Tabosa Cardoso said.

BAGHDAD – Iraqi forces detained five US security contractors in connection with the killing of a fellow American contractor last month in Baghdad's Green Zone, an Iraqi government spokesman said.

Major General Abdul-Karim Khalaf, the Interior Ministry spokesman, said the five men were being held at an Iraqi police station while a joint Iraqi-US committee investigated.

The detainees could become the first Americans to face local justice since a bilateral security pact came into force at the start of this year making US contractors subject to Iraqi law.

WASHINGTON The United States is looking into putting North Korea back on a list of state sponsors of terrorism in response to its nuclear test last month, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in an interview on Sunday.

WICHITA, KAN. – Scott Roeder, the man charged with killing abortion provider Dr. George Tiller, claimed Sunday that more violence is possible while the medical procedure is allowed to continue, giving his warning in calls also used to complain about his treatment in jail.

Tiller, whose Wichita clinic was among only a few in the US performing third-trimester abortions, was shot while serving as an usher at the Lutheran church he attended.
