- The Sri Lankan army is close to defeating an ethnic rebel army after years of fighting.
- Israel announces it will defend military officers if they are accused of war crimes during this incursion.
- The Academy Award nominees were announced, and for the second time in the history of the Oscars an actor was nominated posthumously.
- Americans' love of this food item makes the latest salmonella outbreak rather tricky to trace.
