    Although there are a slew of stories coming your way soon in just a few hours on this morning’s edition of “Happening Now,” we’re going to be covering one feature that’s particularly heartbreaking.  William "Bill" Burtner survived two tours of combat in Vietnam and yet, as the target of a bank robbery and attack just a few days ago, died of hypertensive cardiovascular disease and fractured ribs from the assault.

    FILE - This July 2009 photo downloaded from the Arabic language web site www.muslm.net shows a man identified by the site as Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the accused mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, in detention at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The picture was allegedly taken by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and released only to the detainee's family. An Obama administration official said Friday Nov. 13, 2009 that accused Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other Guantanamo Bay detainees will be sent to New York to face trial in a civilian federal court.
