New police shooting
St. Louis County Police say an officer shot and critically wounded a suspect near Ferguson, Missouri, the St. Louis suburb already tense over a fatal police shooting that sparked two days of violent protests. The most recent shooting happened early this morning when, police say, officers responded to a report of shots fired, allegedly by four men armed with shotguns and wearing ski masks.
On Tuesday, the Ferguson police chief refused to name the officer who shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown, saying that naming him would make him a target. The parents of the teen have been calling for justice for their son.
What is ISIS' end game?
Counter-terrorism experts say that while they have an understanding of ISIS' command and control structure, the group's ultimate end game remains unclear. Does it want to be a regional power or does it seek a capability to attack the West? CBS senior national security analyst Juan Zarate says we know quite a bit about the miliktants and, at one time, the ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was even in U.S. custody.
Iraqi Christians looking for safe haven
Even as it seemed embattled Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki might step down to clear the way for a new government to take shape in Baghdad, the U.S. sent 130 new military advisers to help the divided nation deal with a humanitarian crisis and combat ISIS, CBS News' Holly Williams reports. Iraqi Christians are being forced to flee. The Christians have been living in the area for at least 1,500 years, and they pray in Aramaic, the language spoken by Christ. The new advisers will help assess how to help Christians and other religious minorities caught in the fighting.
