Dorm evacuated at Arkansas State after bomb threat

A dormitory has been evacuated at Arkansas State University because of a bomb threat.

University spokeswoman Gina Bowman says someone made a bomb threat Tuesday afternoon targeting the University Hall dorm.

Bowman says authorities are still searching the dorm and students hadn't been allowed to return as of Tuesday evening. It wasn't immediately clear how many students were evacuated, but the school website says the dorm accommodates 300 female students.

The university says officers made an arrest, but details haven't been released.

More countries push to block YouTube over anti-Islam video

This post has been updated. See the note below for details.
As protests over an online video mocking the Islamic prophet continue to simmer in Pakistan, Indonesia and elsewhere, more countries are trying to keep it from being seen around the world.

Google has already stopped the film trailer from being viewed on YouTube in Egypt and Libya “given the very difficult situation” and has restricted it in Indonesia and India over concerns that it violates local laws.

Malaysian news media reported that the video was also inaccessible there late Monday after  government officials lodged similar complaints with the company about the amateurish video.


However, the company has turned down requests to pull down the video entirely so as to stop it from being viewed anywhere, saying it was “clearly within our guidelines” and widely available online.

That has failed to appease some of those disgusted by the “Innocence of Muslims” trailer, even in countries where the video has been blocked. In Egypt, attorney Mohamed Hamed Salem filed a lawsuit aimed at completely blocking the website, the Al Ahram state newspaper reported Tuesday.

"Not only has YouTube insisted on showing the original movie, but now there are at least 50 different videos showing various clips of the film," Salem told Al Ahram. "We need to block YouTube in Egypt because this would be a robust response, and we need a robust response so that what happened is not repeated again."

Judge: Police to enforce Ariz. immigration law

(AP) PHOENIX -- A judge in Arizona ruled Tuesday that police can immediately start enforcing the most contentious section of the state's immigration law, marking the first time officers can carry out the so-called "show me your papers" provision.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton is the latest milestone in a two-year legal battle over the requirement. It culminated in a U.S. Supreme Court decision in June that upheld the provision on the grounds that it doesn't conflict with federal law.

Opponents responded to the Supreme Court decision by asking Bolton to block the requirement on different grounds, arguing that it would lead to systematic racial profiling and unreasonably long detentions of Latinos if it's enforced. She said early this month she wouldn't block it, and gave the go-ahead Tuesday for the law to take effect.
