Pope Francis met with Meriam Ibrahim, from Sudan, Thursday after her surprise release from her home country and a flight to Rome with her husband and two children. Ms. Ibrahim, whose estranged father was Muslim but whose mother was an Orthodox Christian from Ethiopia, was sentenced to death over charges of apostasy and was being held in U.S. Embassy in Khartoum, Sudan, until she was unexpectedly allowed to leave the country by Sudanese officials.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Media are complicit in Hamas’ tactics

Thank you for Scott Pinsker's excellent column, "Corpse PR: The Hamas handbook" (Web, July 28). Mr. Pinsker's charge that the media have blood on their hands because it encourages Hamas' violence is absolutely right. Published July 29, 2014

A third was indicted on an attempted murder charge, accused of striking his wife in the head with a light fixture. (AP Photo/Molly Riley, File)
