(AP) TERRADES, Spain – As a wildfire closed in on them, five members of a vacationing French family abandoned their car and stumbled through thick smoke down a steep hillside in a desperate bid to reach the waters of the Mediterranean. Instead of a beach, they found themselves at the edge of a cliff with no choice but to jump or try to climb down. Two plummeted to their deaths. The deaths of the father and daughter off the 65-foot high cliff were among the most tragic tales from Spain as it battles blazes during one of its driest summers in decades. The fire involved was likely sparked by someone throwing a lit cigarette out of a car along a small road inundated by vehicles heading to France, police said. The deaths occurred Sunday night in Portbou, a Spanish town just three miles from the French border. Because wildfires elsewhere had forced the closure of the main highway linking Spain to France, traffic was diverted to the smaller road via Portbou. The tossed cigarette apparently started a fire on the pavement which quickly spread to woods along the road before the cars could escape and officials could shut the thoroughfare, Deputy Mayor Elisabet Cortaba said Monday. Around 150 people were soon running from their vehicles and down into the rocky terrain toward the beach. The deadly northern regional wind...

(AP) SOFIA, Bulgaria – A sophisticated group of conspirators were involved in the suicide bombing that killed five Israelis and a Bulgarian, and they spent at least a month in Bulgaria before the attack, the country’s prime minister said Tuesday. Boiko Borisov’s comments confirmed suspicions that the suicide attacker who targeted a bus filled with Israeli vacationers did not act alone. However, the prime minister did not give many details — including how many people were believed to have been involved in the Wednesday attack. He also declined to back up Israel’s claims that Iran and militant group Hezbollah played roles Israeli PM: “Unquestionable” that Iran is behind Bulgaria attackFunerals for Israelis killed in Bulgaria bombingBulgarian bus bomber dressed to blend in Those involved used “leased vehicles, they moved in different cities so as not to be seen together, and no two of them can be seen in one place on any security camera,” Borisov said alongside visiting White House counterterrorism chief John Brennan. He described the people behind the blast “exceptionally skilled” and said they operated under “strict conspiracy rules.” The prime minister also said DNA samples from the suicide bomber have been shared with all partner security services, but no match has been found in their databases. “There was absolutely no chance of preventing such act of violence,” Borisov insisted. “We could have only detected it by...

Updated 10:42 p.m. ET (CBS/AP) BAGHDAD – Rebels attacked Syrian forces Thursday along the nation’s porous border with Iraq, killing at least 21 soldiers and seizing control of all four major border posts, a senior Iraqi army official said. Additionally, rebels took control of two major crossings on the border with Turkey, Reuters reports. Syrian rebel spokesmen said they seized control of the customs and immigration buildings on the Syrian side of the northern Turkish frontier gate of Bab al-Hawa, as well as the Jarablus crossing. Near the Iraq border, the assaults against Syria’s government unfolded throughout the day, putting the Iraqi army on high alert to prevent any violence from spilling across the border. Iraq’s Deputy Interior Minister Adnan al-Assadi told Agence France Presse Iraqi border guards had witnessed the Free Syrian Army take control of a border outpost, detain a Syrian army lieutenant colonel, and then cut off his arms and legs. “Then they executed 22 Syrian soldiers in front of the eyes of Iraqi soldiers,” Assadi said. The situation has put the government of Iraq on high alert. “We have security concerns because the border crossing now is out of the Syria government’s control, and nobody can anticipate what will happen,” said Iraqi Army Brig. General Qassim al-Dulaimi. Al-Duliami said about a half-dozen rebels stormed the Syrian border crossing near the Iraqi town of Qaim on...
