Hawthi protesters bring a fellow protester, who was injured in clashes with Yemeni police, to a hospital, in Sanaa, Yemen, Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2014. Yemeni police opened fire on Shiite Hawthi protesters marching toward the prime minister's office in the capital, Sanaa, killing several people and wounding many, officials said. The Hawthi protest threatens to further destabilize volatile Yemen, the Arab world's most impoverished country where authorities continue to battle militants led by the country's al-Qaida branch, considered by the U.S. to be the world's most dangerous offshoot of the terror group.

A Pro-Russian rebel stands next to pieces of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 plane near village of Rozsypne, eastern Ukraine, Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2014. The Dutch team investigating the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Eastern Ukraine says the crash was likely caused by the plane being hit by multiple "high-energy objects from outside the aircraft." The preliminary report published Tuesday by the Dutch Safety Board stopped short of saying the Boeing 777 was shot down by a surface-to-air missile, but its findings appear to point to that conclusion.
