Man Kills, Eats Man's Brain and Heart

Baltimore, Maryland -- A21-year-old college student allegedly told detectives that he hadn't just killed the man who'd lived with his family for months, but had eaten his heart and portions of his brain.

The victim's severed head and hands were found in the men's Harford County home; more remains were left in a trash container outside a church.

Authorities outlined the macabre circumstances Thursday in charges against Alexander Kinyua, an electrical engineering major at Morgan State University and member of his school's ROTC program, of first-degree murder in the death of 37-year-old Kujoe Bonsafo Agyei-Kodie, a Ghanaian national and a former master's degree student.

Iran Threatens to Target US Bases if Attacked

Iran has warned the United States not to resort to military action against it, saying US bases in the region were vulnerable to the Islamic Republic's missiles, state media reported on Saturday.

The comments by a senior Iranian military commander were an apparent response to US officials who have said Washington was ready to use military force to stop what it suspects is Iran's goal to develop a nuclear weapons capability.

"The politicians and the military men of the United States are well aware of the fact that all of their bases (in the region) are within the range of Iran's missiles and in any case ... are highly vulnerable," Press TV reported Brigadier-General Yahya Rahim Safavi as saying.

Risk of Euro Breakup Growing

A top Italian banker said on Friday that the European single currency was "on the edge of the abyss", and indicated that national regulators were helping to cripple interbank lending across the euro zone by urging banks to lend domestically.

"The Greeks will decide on their own whether to stay in the euro or leave it, but if they leave and we haven't decided what to do to keep the others in, everything will fall apart," Alessandro Profumo, chairman of Italy's third-largest lender Banca Monte, told an economic conference in Trento, Italy.

"We are on the edge of the abyss ... The risk that (the single currency) may fall apart rises every day."

Greece is holding a new election in mid-June that could determine whether or not it remains in the Euro zone.

Syria is on the Brink of a Vicious Civil War

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Friday of an "extremely dangerous" situation in Syria and emerging signs of a civil war but rejected a military intervention as he met with European leaders.

Amid mounting pressure for Moscow to drop its resistance to tougher UN action on Syria, Putin met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and had arrived in Paris for talks with newly elected French President Francois Hollande.

"Today we are seeing emerging elements of civil war," Putin said after arriving in Berlin from Belarus. "It is extremely dangerous."

Defense of Marriage Act Declared Unconstitutional

A federal appeals court has struck down the Defense of Marriage Act – Congress's key legislation to block gay marriage – as unconstitutional in a ruling that will propel the issue to the supreme court.

The Boston-based first district appeals court upheld a lower court decision that gay marriage is a matter for individual states to decide and that the federal government does not have the authority to deny recognition of same-sex unions.

It is the highest court to date to strike down the 1996 act, known as DOMA, which denies gay married couples federal benefits and protections given to heterosexuals such as health coverage, social security payments and medical leave.
