It's one of the top stories at CNN, ABC News, CBS News, and the BBC. At 3:00, it was in the news headlines on NPR.
But, I suspect that the fact that no Americans seem to be involved keeps it from being the top story here. (It is the top story at the BBC's website).

I posted a CNN article. And it wasn't breaking news. I haven't had a chance to go to BBC, but I'm not surprised it's breaking news over there.

I'm not sure what you mean by "breaking news," since I don't see that catagory at CNN.com. It's the fourth story, and the first from outside the US, under "Latest Stories."

Check the red-bolded text at the top of the page. I think the current breaking news is about the Dow average breaking at a record high.

I wonder if we'e looking at different versions of CNN.com. What I'm looking at doesn't have any red-bolded text at the top of the page. The Dow story is the first one under "Latest News," followed by Foley, Bush on Dems and Congress, and then the Turkish highjacking story.

Not on what I'm looking at. No bold, red-text, breaking news at all. Weird.
