Cheat Sheet - ‘Uncatchable’ Jihadist Killed

Today: Kerry Urges Egyptian Unity , SpaceX Capsule Arrives at Space Station , Search Called Off for Sinkhole Victim
Cheat Sheet: Morning

March 03, 2013
GOT HIM

The Al Qaeda-affiliated leader of the Signed in Blood battalion behind January's Algerian hostage crisis was killed by Chadian forces in Mali on Saturday, reports The Daily Beast's Jamie Dettmer.

ROAD TO DEMOCRACY

John Kerry is certainly diving right in. On his first trip overseas in his position, the new U.S. Secretary of State urged Egyptians to come together to solve its impending economic crisis. On Sunday, Kerry will meet with Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, who lately has been met with fierce opposition after just one year in office. Kerry met with some key leaders of Morsi's opposition forces on Saturday, and he reportedly promised he would address the impending elections in a closed-door meeting with the Egyptian president. Meanwhile, former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak's retrial will begin on April 3, Egypt's appeals court said on Sunday. Mubarak has been sentenced to life imprisonment after allegedly ordering soldiers to fire on protesters.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

A privately-owned Dragon cargo ship arrived at the International Space Station on Sunday, a day late, delivering much-needed supplies to the Dragon capsule, which has struggled since its Friday launch. The unmanned Dragon is carrying more than one ton worth of supplies for the crew and the crew's experiments. After Friday's launch, things went slightly awry on the Dragon: a clogged pressure line or stuck valve caused the thrusters to shut down, and it took controllers several hours to gain control.

MYSTERY

Florida officials said on Sunday that they will abandon the search for Jeff Bush, who is believed to have died when a sinkhole opened up underneath his Tampa-area home on Thursday night. The house will be demolished, officials said. Bush, 37, was at home when the sinkhole opened up and swallowed him and much of his bedroom. Five family members inside the house—who said they heard a scream and a crash—managed to escape. The whole house could be consumed by the ever-growing sinkhole, officials said. Two neighboring homes, also at risk of being consumed by the sinkhole, will be evacuated as well.

COME ON

Why does Bob Woodward get to lie—twice!—and still be Bob Woodward? And why is it that the Republicans can be so intransigent and Barack Obama gets blamed? The Daily Beast's Michael Tomasky explains.
