Earthquake Kills 7 in Iran

Seven people were killed when a quake struck in Iran, on Thursday.

At least forty-five more were injured and search crews were digging through rubble for survivors and victims.

The 5.6 quake struck just north of Borazjan, about forty miles north of the Bushehr nuclear power plant.

Officials said that the plant suffered no damage, despite severe damage in the surrounding areas.

Hudak Resigns to Avoid Being Recalled in Colorado

Colorado senator Evie Hudak announced her resignation, on Wednesday.

Her decision comes less than a week before a recall petition was expected to be successful against her.

By resigning she ensures that Democrats maintain a one seat majority, in the state's senate, as a replacement will be appointed.

If she had not resigned, a special election would have taken place, and a Republican could have taken over her seat.

She was the third Colorado Democrat senator to face a recall, after their parts in voting for unpopular gun laws.
