A former US astronaut accused of trying to kidnap a love rival has appeared in court as she awaits trial. Lisa Nowak, age 44, has been charged with attempted kidnapping, assault and burglary.

She has since been sacked by NASA.

Nigeria Works To Free Girl

A little three year old British girl was kidnapped in Nigeria by gunmen in the oil rich Niger Delta area. Authorities have stepped up efforts to free her. She was grabbed from a car on her way to school in Port Harcourt. Her mother says the kidnappers have threatened to kill the little girl unless her husband takes the little girl's place. He wanted to go down for his little girl but the police told him not to. I sure hope they get her back soon and unharmed.
