Another earthquake in Van, Turkey. This was a smaller 4.9.
A Bangladeshi man in Oman died of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF). Apparently some animals in Oman carry the animal version. A Pakistani man died of similar symptoms several weeks ago. It is thought they both contracted CCHF from handling contaminated meat. It's not common, but it does happen. In 1995-1996 there were 4 cases.
A small passenger ship sank off the coast of Iran today. Rescue efforts are underway.
The Egyptian election is over. The Freedom and Justice Party (Muslim Brotherhood) won the most seats. Their speaker will be Saad al-Katatni.
