| Four passengers sue Amtrak over deadly Philadelphia derailment | |  Four passengers on the Amtrak commuter train that derailed in Philadelphia last week filed a federal lawsuit on Monday against the U.S. rail service, as operations resumed on the heavily travelled Northeast Corridor. The lawsuit, filed in Philadelphia, cited "serious and disabling" injuries from the May 12 derailment that killed eight people and injured more than 200 others. A Federal Bureau of Investigation examination of a circular pattern of damage to the windshield of the derailed Amtrak train found no evidence it was caused by a firearm, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said on Monday. Train engineer Brian Bostian, 32, who suffered a concussion, told investigators he has no memory of what occurred after the train pulled out of the North Philadelphia station, just before the crash.

| Macedonia's embattled leader rallies supporters in show of force | |  By Kole Casule SKOPJE (Reuters) - Macedonia's embattled prime minister rallied tens of thousands of supporters on Monday in a show of force a day after opponents held their own mass protest to demand his resignation over damaging wire-tap revelations. The crowd in central Skopje appeared comparable in size to Sunday's opposition rally calling for Nikola Gruevski to quit over a flood of disclosures that the West says have cast serious doubt on the state of democracy in the former Yugoslav republic. The crisis rocking Gruevski's nine-year conservative rule is the worst since Western diplomacy dragged Macedonia from the brink of all-out civil war during an ethnic Albanian insurgency in 2001, promising it a path to European Union and NATO membership. A dispute with neighbouring Greece over Macedonia's name has halted its Western integration, and in that time critics say Gruevski has tilted to the right, stoking nationalism and monopolising power in coalition with a party of ethnic Albanian former guerrillas.
