Italy Rocked By 6.6 Magnitude Earthquakes: The Strongest In Almost 40 Years
A powerful earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.6 on Sunday
rocked the same area of central and southern Italy hit by quake in
August and a pair of aftershocks last week, sending already
quake-damaged buildings crumbling after a week of temblors that have
left thousands homeless.
The earthquake was believed to be the strongest to strike the country since 1980. A 6.9-magnitude quake in southern Campania that year killed some 3,000 people and caused extensive damage.
Some 20 people suffered injuries, most of them minor, investigators said. However, numerous buildings that had resisted the previous quakes collapsed. Crews were responding with helicopters as rockslides blocked many roads, the head of Italy's civil protection agency, Fabrizio Curcio, told reporters.

Hillary Clinton ramps up her war with FBI director James Comey as she hits out at his 'strange, unprecedented and deeply troubling' decision to reopen email probe
Hillary Clinton took her war against FBI Director James Comey right to
her own supporters Saturday, bringing up the freighted issue of her
email scandal and the FBI's investigation at a rally in Daytona Beach.
She took on Comey head-on a day after he released a letter announcing
that the bureau was examining new emails connected to its investigation
into the former secretary of state.
The Democratic candidate was in Florida notably without her longtime aide Huma Abedi, who remained home in New York, after the online sexting habits of her husband, Anthony Weiner, upended her longtime boss's presidential campaign. 'If you're like me, you probably have a few questions about it,' Clinton told a crowd of about 800 at a community center. 'It is pretty strange. It's pretty strange to put something like that out with such little information, right before an election,'
Clinton said. The crowd booed at the first mention of the FBI issue. 'In fact, it's not just strange it's unprecedented and it's deeply troubling,' Clinton said. Clinton had first gone after Comey Friday in a surprise press conference just hours after the news broke, just days before the November 8 election.

You can’t really stop anybody from doing whatever they want to do or what if the person is under the influence and they do it and regret it the next minute, it’s all up to them but there are consequences for everything we do. You know it’s a big stage, a big platform and everyone is watching, people like to get noticed but you better be careful what you do because it’s not just about getting noticed it’s about how people see you afterwards.”

ISIS rounded up and killed 284 men and boys as Iraqi-led coalition
forces closed in on Mosul, the terror group's last major stronghold in
Iraq, an Iraqi intelligence source told CNN.
Those killed Thursday and Friday were used as human shields against attacks forcing ISIS out of southern parts of Mosul.
ISIS dumped the corpses in a mass grave at the defunct College of Agriculture in northern Mosul, the intelligence source said.
