1. TERROR RAIDS

You can run but you can’t hide: In two raids nearly 3,000 miles apart, U.S. military forces went after two high-value targets over the weekend. And while officials have yet to say whether the operations were coordinated or directly related, they show Washington’s reach, capability and willingness to pursue alleged terrorists. One operation took place Saturday in the Libyan capital of Tripoli, when U.S. forces captured Abu Anas al Libi, an al Qaeda leader wanted for his role in the deadly 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa.

Al Libi’s wife watched men capture her husband and says allegations against him are false.

2. MIDEAST

More blood, some hope: It was a weekend of extremes in the Middle East. Let’s start with the bad. 51 people were killed in more violence between Muslim Brotherhood protesters and security forces in Egypt. People actually swam across the Nile River to escape arrest.

3. GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

Same ol’ same ol’:  Here’s the progress report from the weekend.  Nothing.  Nada.  Zilch.  Zero.  This is Day 7 of the partial government shutdown and it seems the focus is already shifting from paying for day-to-day operations to picking up the tab for the nation’s debt.  Congress has until October 17 to up the borrowing limit or we run out of money.  The U.S. taps out at $16.7 trillion.  House Speaker John Boehner says spending cuts and no new taxes will have to be part of any deal.  Other Republicans also want the repeal of Obamacare tied to raising the debt ceiling.  But you knew that.
