A robot submarine will locate the ends of the cables on the sea bed and bring them to the surface to be re-connected. They were cut somewhere between Sicily and Tunisia, probably by an anchor. Egypt says it has been able to restore most of its communications by re-routing services, but other parts of the Middle East remain badly affected.

(AP) -- The case of the missing anchor has been solved. A decorative anchor was reported stolen Monday from where it sat in front of the Naval Reserve Center in La Crosse. The report raised eyebrows because police described the anchor as 6 feet long and weighing 2,000 pounds, and said there were no witnesses to the theft even though the center faces a well-traveled street. It turns out the anchor wasn't stolen, U.S. Navy Cmdr. Kurt Hedberg said Tuesday. The Navy reclaimed it last year when it ceded the building and land to the city of...

The coalition of mayors and business and community leaders is seeking an injunction to block work on the fence. They also want a federal judge to rescind all the agreements with landowners and to order Chertoff to start...

A special tribute to Rather's career is expected to appear on tonight's "CBS Evening News."
