AP Twitter Account Hacked Causing Wall Street Scare

On Tuesday, The Associated Press' Twitter account was hacked.

The hackers only made one tweet, before Twitter suspended the account.

However, that one tweet made headlines as it stated that President Obama had been injured in explosions at the White House.

Every other news source around the world rushed to check the information, and within moments it had been confirmed to be false.

Wall Street had one of the most blatant displays of the effect that the news had.

The Dow Jones dropped about one hundred and fifty points within moments of the false tweet.

Within minutes of the news being proven false, it had reclaimed those points.

41 Killed in Fighting Between Militants and Iraqi Soldiers

Three soldiers and twenty-five militants died in clashes there.

More militants responded by attacking out posts in Riyadh and Rashad.

Another thirteen militants were killed in the fighting there.

The militants are linked with Al Qaeda, but not directly part of the terrorist organization.

French Embassy in Libya Bombed

A car bomb targeted the French embassy in Tripoli, Libya, on Tuesday.

Two guards were injured in the blast, which did some damage the building.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, but it is believed to be the work of Islamist militants angry over France's involvement in Mali.

The French entered Mali, in January, to stop Al Qaeda from taking over the country.

France helped Libyans over throw Muammar Qaddafi, by launching air strikes against Qaddafi's troops.
