| Knocking down Detroit to revive it comes at a price | |  By Dave McKinney DETROIT (Reuters) - Nowhere in America bulldozes derelict homes with Detroit's ferocity, as the city that has become a byword for U.S. urban decay seeks to engineer a recovery by tearing itself down. The number of fires - often caused by arson attacks on abandoned homes - dropped in October from a year ago, and deeply depressed property values have ticked higher in areas close to demolitions. Duggan, whose program has razed more than 7,000 homes in two years, denies any wrongdoing.

| U.S. soldier Bergdahl may face life sentence in court-martial over desertion | |  By Jon Herskovitz AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl, who walked away from his post in Afghanistan and became a Taliban prisoner for five years, will face court-martial with a potential life sentence, the Army said on Monday. In ordering the court martial on Monday, Army General Robert Abrams did not follow the recommendation of a preliminary hearing which, according to Bergdahl's lawyer, called for Bergdahl to face a proceeding that could impose a potential maximum penalty of a year in confinement. Bergdahl's lawyer, Eugene Fidell, said the defence team "had hoped the case would not go in this direction." He also urged Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who has called Bergdahl a "dirty, rotten traitor," to "cease his prejudicial months-long campaign of defamation against our client." In a later interview on Monday, Fidell also criticized members of Congress for publicly saying they were closely monitoring the outcome of the case.

| Thai activists urge release of man detained over Facebook post | | | By Aukkarapon Niyomyat and Amy Sawitta Lefevre BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai activists demanded on Monday the release of a man arrested for sharing an infographic on Facebook detailing alleged graft in an army-built park, saying plainclothes security officers had taken him by force. Since taking power in a military coup in May 2014, Thailand's ruling junta has issued directives that have largely stifled dissent, including barring political discussions and debate. "Thailand's junta has reached a new level of ruthlessness by snatching an activist from his hospital bed, putting him in military detention, and depriving him of needed medical treatment," Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch, said in a statement. |

| California shooter messaged Facebook friends about support for jihad - LA Times | |  (Reuters) - One of the shooters in the San Bernardino massacre, Tashfeen Malik, sent at least two private messages on Facebook to a small group of Pakistani friends in 2012 and 2014, pledging her support for Islamic jihad and saying she hoped to join the fight one day, the Los Angeles Times reported on Monday. The messages were posted before Malik, 29, entered the United States on a K-1 fiancée visa in July 2014, the Times said, citing two top federal law enforcement officials. Malik's messages were recovered by FBI agents investigating whether she and her husband, Syed Rizwan Farook, had been in direct contact with foreign militant organizations and were directed to carry out the Dec. 2 attack in which 14 people were killed, the Times reported.
