1. SYRIA AIRSTRIKES
Terror targets: President Barack Obama says the United States is taking the fight to the terrorists in attacking ISIS in Syria. The U.S. also targeted other terrorist organization, including the Khorasan Group. Obama described its members as “seasoned al Qaeda operatives in Syria.” U.S. officials said the group was plotting attacks against the United States and other Western targets. Also in the crosshairs was the al Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front. The group said an airstrike killed its leader. In the aftermath, U.S. law enforcement agencies are on heightened alert for lone-wolf terror attacks.
2. EBOLA
This should get your attention: The CDC says the number of Ebola cases in Liberia and Sierra Leone could rise to between 550,000 and 1.4 million by January. A new forecasting tool developed by the CDC gives such a wide range because experts suspect the current count is highly under-reported. The official death toll from Ebola in West Africa has climbed to more than 2,800 in six months, with 5,800 cases confirmed as of Monday, the World Health Organization said.
