Graham, McCain want answers on Libya

WASHINGTON – Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham and John McCain say they want answers from the Obama administration and are willing to oppose the administration’s choice to be the new CIA director until they get them.

Graham said Sunday he and McCain “are hell-bent on making sure the American people understand this debacle called Benghazi.” The South Carolina Republican said he wants to understand what happened in September at the U.S. Consulate in Libya that left four Americans dead.

McCain said he also wants answers about policies on torture and the Arizona senator said he deserves them.

The Senate Intelligence Committee is scheduled to vote early this week on John Brennan’s nomination. Brennan is currently President Barack Obama’s counterterrorism adviser.

Graham and McCain spoke to CBS’ “Face the Nation.”


Queen hospitalized for stomach ailment

LONDON – Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II was hospitalized Sunday over an apparent stomach infection that has ailed her for days, a rare instance of ill health sidelining the long-reigning monarch. Elizabeth will have to cancel a visit to Rome and other engagements as she recovers, and outside experts said she may have to be rehydrated intravenously.

Buckingham Palace said the 86-year-old queen had experienced symptoms of gastroenteritis and was being examined at London’s King Edward VII Hospital – the first time in a decade that Elizabeth has been hospitalized.

“As a precaution, all official engagements for this week will regrettably be either postponed or cancelled,” the palace said in a statement. Elizabeth’s two-day trip to Rome had been planned to start Wednesday. A spokeswoman said the trip may be “reinstated” at a later date.


Earthquake in China destroys 700 homes

BEIJING – A moderate earthquake collapsed hundreds of homes and injured at least 30 people in southwest China.

The earthquake bureau in Yunnan province, where the quake occurred Sunday, said three of the injured people were in serious condition.

The official Xinhua News Agency said the quake caused 700 houses to collapse and damaged 2,500 others.

About 55,000 people were affected by the quake, Xinhua said, citing Yunnan’s Civil Affairs Department. Supplies were on their way to the quake-hit area, including 6,000 tents.

The magnitude-5.5 quake struck 32 miles from the city of Dali at a depth of 20 miles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
