Hello, I'm Melissa Long here at the cnn Center in Atlanta on this Tuesday, December 11. Here's a look at some of the stories happening Now In The News.
We begin with the worst terror attack on the Algerian capital since the country's devastating civil war in the 1990s. Terrorists hit two upscale districts of Algiers, apparently, targeting government and UN buildings. At least 45 people were killed in the bombings including UN staff members. Medics, however, put the death toll higher around 62. The bomb placed some people trapped beneath crumpled buildings, making an exact toll difficult.
The gunman who killed 4 people at a churc missionary training center in Colorado had apparently posted an online warning message just 90 minutes before the second shooting. Sources also say Matthew Murray spent several months at the missionary training center where the first shooting happened, but was kicked out of the group.
CIA Chief Michael Hagen is testifying on Capitol Hill today. Lawmakers say they want some answers about the destruction of videotape interrogations of two terror suspects. The Democratic-controlled Senate and House Intelligence Committees will question him for two days. The tapes were destroyed in 2005, and General Hagen was not head of the CIA at the time, but insists Congress knew about the agency's intent to destroy them.
In a news conference earlier, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that he is still open to a debate with the US counterpart. Ahmadinejad says such discussion would be useful for solving some of the world's problems. Iranian president also says the recent US intelligence report concluding Tehran shut its nuclear weapons program four years ago is a step forward. President Bush says the world still want an explanation for Iran's nuclear activities.
And it was billed as a"one night only" affair, Led Zeppelin's first concert in nearly three decades. The original rockers, singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bass player John Paul Jones gave concert-goers a rousing rendition of some of their greatest hits. Their millions of fans are now calling for a world tour. The group has been non-committal. But I'm sure millions of you will still hope.
Those are the headlines for you at this hour. You are up-to-date. Do stay with cnn for more on these stories or other news of the day.
