(AP) KABUL, Afghanistan – A bomb in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday killed six NATO service members, on a day where a total of 29 people died from roadside bombs and insurgent attacks. NATO said the blast was caused by an improvised explosive device but provided no further details about the attack and did not identify the dead service members. The statement said NATO’s policy is to allow “national authorities” to give details about the soldiers. A surge in Afghan and coalition forces during the past two years routed Taliban fighters from many of their strongholds in the south, but the insurgents have stepped up their attacks this summer to take back key areas. The service members’ deaths were the latest on Sunday caused by bombs planted by insurgents along roadsides, paths or mountain tracks.

Turkish and Syrian vessels were searching for the plane — which the media identified as an F-4 — and its two pilots, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan told a nationally televised news conference. CBS News correspondent David Martin confirmed that the jet was shot down by Syrian air defenses while on a routine training flight. He added that the Turks say it came down 8 miles off the Syrian coast, which is way too close for a routine training flight, so that suggests it strayed off course. There was a potential flash point in the tensions between Turkey and Syria Friday when Syria’s air defenses shot down a Turkish F-4 jet fighter. The Turkish jet was conducting a routine training flight over the eastern Mediterranean and apparently strayed too close to the Syrian coast. Neither side has yet accused the other of being at...

(CBS/AP) CAIRO – The head of Egypt’s election commission says official results from the disputed presidential runoff vote will be released Sunday. Farouk Sultan, the head of the Supreme Presidential Election Commission, confirmed the timing on Saturday. Results of runoff vote between the Muslim Brotherhood’s candidate Mohammed Morsi and a Mubarak-era politician Ahmed Shafiq were postponed last week as both campaigns claimed victory. On Saturday Egyptian demonstrators continued their sit-in into a fifth successive day in protest against the disbanding of the Islamist-dominated parliament last week. They are calling for military leaders to rescind a constitutional declaration granting the generals sweeping powers and stripping the next president of much of his authority. More in After the Arab Spring There is widespread fear of renewed violence if the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohammed Morsi is not declared the winner. At stake is whether or not Egypt will emerge from the instability of the 16-month transition that followed Hosni Mubarak’s 2011 overthrow, or whether the power struggles will continue or even escalate to a more dangerous level.
