<p>Israel's Defense Minister Ehud Barak said in a statement that Israel's military and the internal security agency "thwarted an attack that could have injured many.

<p>The rain fall in Beijing was the heaviest in decades, overwhelming the cities drainage systems, according to several news outlets.</p>
