French police arrested a terrorism suspect near Paris who authorities say in the "advanced stages" of plotting an attack.  "The individual questioned, a French national, is suspected of high-level involvement in this plan. He was part of a terrorist network that planned to strike France," said French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve.  In Belgium, authorities rounded up six suspects, but it's not clear what their connection might be to the Brussels Bombings which killed 34 people and wounded 200 more. 

The US and Russia have agreed to aim for a draft version of a new constitution for Syria by August.  On a visit to Moscow, US Secretary of State John Kerry didn't say if he discussed the future of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad with Russian President Vladimir Putin.  The US backs calls from so-called "moderate" rebel groups that Assad must step down, while Putin considers Assad an ally and has supporting government troops in battling the rebels.

Israel arrested a soldier who was caught on video shooting a Palestinian suspect who was already wounded and lying motionless in the street.  The unidentified man was one of two Palestinians suspected in the stabbing of another Israel soldier nearby.  The Israeli military said the shooting was a "grave breach of IDF (Israel Defense Forces) values". 

US comedian Garry Shandling is dead of a reported massive heart attack at age 66.  It's a shock to the entertainment world, and several people have come forth to say they saw him out and about in Los Angeles within the past few days with no indication that anything was wrong.  He's best known for his two TV comedy programs:  "It's Garry Shandling's Show", which didn't just break the "fourth wall" so much as it lived in it; and "The Larry Sanders Show" which lampooned late night television shows.  More recently he starred as a villainous senator in "Iron Man 2" and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier".

Playboy Enterprises is reportedly considering a possible sale.  The Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times say the once gigantic adult publishing empire could go for US$500 Million, although it's not clear why the price tag would be so high.  Circulation has plummeted to 800,000 from a peak of 5.6 million in 1975.  And last year, Playboy announced it was discontinuing the famous centerfold it had published in every issue since Marilyn Monroe's famous turn in the inaugural issue in 1953.  The internet made the centerfold pretty unnecessary.  Competition from the internet is expected to cost the publishing world some $4 Billion in advertising revue in the next four years.  So, if you want to buy a fading magazine that doesn't do what made it famous in a dying industry, it'll only cost half a billion dollars.
