U.S. Closes Drone Base in Ethiopia
----------------------------------

In Israel, authorities have filed murder charges against two Israeli
citizens over an arson attack that killed a Palestinian toddler and his
parents in the occupied West Bank in July. The suspects are 21-year-old
Amiram Ben-Uliel, who was raised in an Israeli settlement in the West
Bank, and a minor who was not publicly named. Israeli authorities have
been criticized for taking months to charge anyone for the attacks.
Meanwhile, Israel has launched a security crackdown in Arab areas after
an Israeli Arab allegedly opened fire outside a bar in Tel Aviv Friday,
killing two people.
