India intensifies crackdown in disputed Kashmir after New Delhi bombing

NEW DELHI (AP) — Hours after police in Indian-controlled Kashmir released shopkeeper Bilal Ahmed Wani but kept his son in custody in this month's deadly New Delhi blast investigation, Wani set himself on fire, members of his family said.

The 55-year-old dry fruit seller was treated at three hospitals but died a day later. His relatives, who spoke on condition of anonymity as they feared reprisals from authorities for talking to media, said stress and humiliation over the detentions drove him to self-immolation.

Oregon's impressive victory over Southern California in one of last week's few games between ranked teams accounted for the biggest change, moving the Ducks ahead of Mississippi, which didn't play.

The other meaningful shift was Miami's move to No. 12, in a switch with Utah after the Utes gave up 472 yards rushing in a tight win over Kansas State. Read More
