WHITFIELD: Hi, welcome back and updates to breaking news. At least six people are dead and dozens injured after a major 7.3 earthquake struck close to the Iraq/Iran border. The epicenter was near the city of Halabja, Iraq. The quake was felt across much of that country and several other countries, as well. The Iraqi government is advising people to stay away from buildings. We will bring you updates as soon as we get them. All right, today, a joint U.S./Africa command and Niger military investigation team travelled to the village of Tongo Tongo, Niger in order to gain a clearer understanding of the ambush which led to the death of four U.S. soldiers on October 4th. They are looking at the attack site and surrounding area. Meantime, U.S. officials are investigating local eyewitness reports that one of the U.S. soldiers killed, Sergeant La David Johnson was found with his hands tied, that's according to a defense official though the U.S. military is not confirming those accounts. La David Johnson's body was found nearly a mile away from the scene of the ambush. The Jerry Sandusky sex scandal isn't over at Penn State and the price the school is paying out in settlement has now topped $100 million. The university is now disclosing it recently paid another $16 million to people with abuse claims against the former assistant football coach. It's not clear how many people share this latest settlement but Penn previously settled with 33 others who claimed Sandusky molested them as children. Still ahead, President Trump has said multiple times who he thinks should be under investigation. It's a subject of this week's "State Of The Cartoonion," next.
