Cops and security forces swarmed a suburb of Paris after a 20-year veteran elementary school teacher said he was stabbed in the neck by someone who yelled out support for the Islamic State terrorist group.  Shortly after that, officials determined the man was lying and there was no attacker.  The teacher is in hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, and authorities are trying to get him to give up how he was really injured.  France remains on high alert following the terror attacks in Paris on 13 November that left 130 people dead.

Israel's defense minister is ordering the military to halt any activities with a veterans group that's been critical of Israeli policy towards the Palestinians.  Breaking the Silence was formed by former sodliers in 2004, and has collected testimony from more than 1,000 vets documenting improper or illegal behavior against Palestinians.  DM Moshe Yaalon says Breaking the Silence "is part of the attempts to delegitimize us".  Breaking the Silence spokesman Avihai Stollar says Yaalon's comments obscure "the daily moral price of a prolonged military occupation".

Voting on a new constitution in the Central African Republican is being extended for another day because violence has prevented many from casting ballots.  Voters are defying clashes that killed five people.  The country is bitterly divided after predominatly Muslim Seleka rebels took power in 2013, and were eventually beaten back by the Christian majority and anti-Balaka counter insurgent groups.

The company contracted to provide power generators for next year's Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil has pulled out, casting shadows on who would supply the energy for the world's largest sporting event.  Aggreko has been involved in nine Olympics and six World Cups, and its absence adds to troubles including:  worsening budget restrictions; construction delays; incredible pollution in the bay where the sailing events are to take place; and fears of crime and police violence spilling over from the favelas. 

In completely stupid America, three football fans traveled 150 kilometers to see their beloved Denver Broncos play the Chargers at San Diego's Quallcom stadium, only to be temporarily barred from entering because they were Sikhs wearing Turbans - and the idiot security guard mistook them for Muslims.  Once they were allowed inside, the harassment continued - they were told that if they ever came back, they couldn't wear the Turbans (which were coordinated in the Broncos' team colors).  Of course, barring Muslims from entering would be every bit as bad.  But it's the latest in a long line of cases in which American Sikhs are subjected to harassment and violence because of stupidity.
