NEW DELHI, India (CNN) -- A dilapidated building collapsed in Mumbai, India, on Wednesday, killing at least 16 people who had defied orders to vacate the structure, a police spokesman told CNN. Rescue workers clear away debris after a building collapsed Wednesday in Mumbai, India. Another 26 people were injured and hospitalized, the spokesman said. Mumbai city officials had told residents living in the old building to leave it because of structural concerns. The chief minister of Maharashtra state, Vilasrao Deshmukh, visited the building hours after the collapse to pay his respects to the victims. Last July, another building collapse in Mumbai -- formerly Bombay -- killed 26 people.

(CNN) -- An earthquake in central Oklahoma prompted a few calls to the police but no apparent damage Saturday. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake had a preliminary 4.5 magnitude to the quake and said it was centered near Jones, Oklahoma, 14 miles northeast of Oklahoma City.

(CNN)On the heels of a year that saw advances for female action heroes in comics, TV and film, Marvel Comics is ready to take it to the next level. The company announced that this summer will see a brand new comic book team of Avengers -- replacing all other teams and comprised entirely of women. It's a move reminiscent of the X-Men. Their name? The A-Force. "She-Hulk, Dazzler, Medusa, Nico Minoru and other fan favorites will take charge," series writer G. Willow Wilson said in a press release. Rival DC Comics also announced new titles Friday, which included new looks for Black Canary and Starfire. Marvel made big headlines last year when the title of Thor was transferred to a female character. Both these big announcements came along with much hoopla on ABC's "The View." "A-Force" hits stores in May.

During the Ohio State-Oregon matchup -- officially known as the College Football Playoff National Championship Presented by AT&T -- Twitter started buzzing over head referee Greg Burks, who looks suspiciously like comedy's favorite stammering phone caller, Chicago psychologist and Vermont innkeeper. The attention got back to Newhart himself, who chimed in to set the record straight -- sort of. Newhart wasn't the only lookalike at the game. Michael Strahan noticed that Oregon defensive coordinator Don Pellum looked like Coolio. Newhart and Coolio? Something like that would be, uh, paradise. Incidentally, Ohio State won, 42-20.

Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama and his family attended the Easter Sunday service at Shiloh Baptist Church, which was founded by freed slaves in 1863. The first family entered the church to a standing ovation, then joined in singing with the choir, backed by a live band that included a guitar, keyboard and drums. Rev. Wallace Charles Smith welcomed the Obamas, noting the congregants pray for them every Sunday. At collection time, Obama and his daughters gave money in envelopes provided at their seats. The first family left after two hours, as the service approached its conclusion. The president and his family have attended services occasionally since moving to the White House in January 2009. Last Easter, the Obamas worshipped at a Methodist church.

(EW.com) -- A dolphin named Winter loses its tail to a crab trap in "Dolphin Tale" -- a (sometimes sickly) sweet family film based on a true story. It's no spoiler to say that there is a happy ending, partly because this is the kind of constantly uplifting heart-warmer in which even the villains are congenial, but also because the injured animal is played by its real-life counterpart. Morgan Freeman also plays a version of himself as a kindly wise man whose expertise in prosthetics helps save Winter. While the plot occasionally feels like "Free Willy" without the drama, it's a cute story if you don't mind temporarily trading in your cynicism for a bag of popcorn. EW.com rating: B- .

(CNN) -- The Israeli military fired on militants who were trying to plant a bomb near a security fence in northern Gaza, striking three, the military said. Three Palestinian men in their 20s were killed by the Israeli fire, Palestinian medical sources said. About 100 "terror-related incidents" happened last year near the security fence in Gaza, the Israeli military said in a statement. Israel blames Hamas, which governs Gaza, the statement said. "The presence of Palestinian civilians in the area adjacent to the security fence is used by terrorist organizations as cover for their activities, including planting explosive devices, planning terrorist attacks and attempting to kidnap (Israeli) soldiers," the statement said.

(CNN) -- The Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday selected Kansas forward Andrew Wiggins with their third No. 1 overall pick in four years, hoping he can help take the team to the playoffs -- and out of the NBA draft lottery. The Cavaliers' fortunes went downhill after the departure of LeBron James to the Miami Heat in 2010. But they've had flashes of hope -- led by guard Kyrie Irving, a product of Duke University -- and luck, as evidenced by beating the odds to get the draft's top pick for the second year in a row. A native of Canada, Wiggins played one year at Kansas before opting to leave school and head to the NBA. Duke's Jabari Parker, another freshman, was selected second overall by the Milwaukee Bucks.

Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- An explosion took place on a road close to Kabul's international airport Wednesday morning, the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force said. There were no ISAF casualties. Initial information indicated that the blast may have been the work of a suicide bomber, ISAF said. The Afghan interior ministry said the blast took place on Qasabah Road, which is situated to the north of Kabul International Airport. Militants have targeted the airport previously. In June, Taliban fighters armed with guns and explosives were killed by security forces after taking over a building near the airport. The Taliban said the attack was intended to target Americans in the international airport, one part of which is used by military forces and another by civilians.

(CNN) -- Gambia has severed all economic and diplomatic relations with Iran and set a 48-hour deadline for Iranian government officials to leave the West African country, Iran's state-run Press TV reported Tuesday. Gambia gave no reason for the decision to sever ties with the Islamic Republic, according to Press TV. The news comes after the seizure of a shipment of arms from Iran in Nigeria that may be linked to Gambia. The 13 containers seized in Lagos held illegal weapons, including rockets, according to Nigeria's security service. Earlier this month, Nigerian Foreign Minister Odein Ajumogobia said the original bill of lading was destined for Nigeria, but another bill of lading destined for Gambia later surfaced. Ajumogobia has said the seizure has been reported to the United Nations Security Council.

(CNN) -- Kevin McCarthy, whose 65-year-long acting career included the horror classic "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," died Saturday. He was 96. The chiseled-jaw character actor appeared in hundreds of films and television shows, starting in 1945, according to the Internet Movie Database. McCarthy died of natural causes at Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis, Massachusetts, according to hospital spokeswoman Robin Lord. In addition to "Body Snatchers" in 1956, McCarthy was known for his role as Biff in the film adaptation of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman," released in 1951. He was nominated for a best supporting actor Oscar and won a Golden Globe for that performance. McCarthy also frequently appeared on Broadway, including his one-man show "Give 'Em Hell, Harry!" in which he played President Harry Truman.

(CNN) -- Britain's Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, have left on their honeymoon, the royal family announced Tuesday. But St. James's Palace would not say where they went. William, the second in line to the British throne, married Catherine Middleton in London April 29, in a wedding that brought much of the United Kingdom to a flag-waving, street-partying, television-watching halt. They spent the weekend after the wedding on vacation in the United Kingdom, according to the royal family. They are due to travel to Canada this summer, their first official foreign trip since getting married.

(CNN) -- Fourteen people were shot and killed at a soccer field in northern Honduras, a police spokesman said Saturday. Juan Lopez, a police spokesman in the industrial city of San Pedro Sula, said 10 people died on the scene, while four more were transported to an area medical center for treatment. They died of their wounds, he added. "We're investigating to see what sort of organization could be behind this. The most likely (scenario) is that the attack was directed at one or some of the men on the field and that the others were caught in the crossfire," Lopez said. He declined to identify the victims.

(CNN) -- Only a fraction of the oil that normally courses through the Trans Alaska pipeline was flowing early Sunday after operators discovered a leak near Prudhoe Bay, a company spokeswoman said. Crews making a routine inspection "found oil in the basement of a booster pump building" around 9 a.m. Saturday, according to Aleyeska Pipeline Service Company spokeswoman Michelle Egan, who said flow has been reduced by 95%. On a typical day, 642,261 barrels of oil would pass through the pipeline. "Crews are currently onsite to assess the situation and isolate the source of the leak," a company statement said. CNN's Tom Laabs contributed to this report.

(CNN) -- The headquarters of Mexico's state oil was evacuated Tuesday night -- but it turned out to be a false alarm, the company said. The Pemex Tower in Mexico City was cleared after an unspecified threat, Pemex said on its Twitter feed. A short time later, the company tweeted, "It was a false alarm." In February, a deadly explosion at Pemex headquarters killed at least 37 people. Officials said it was caused by a buildup of gas in the basement. Pemex is Mexico's powerful and much-criticized state oil monopoly. Thousands of people work at the company's headquarters, which includes a 54-story building. The annex where the February explosion happened is adjacent to the tower.

(CNN) -- Bolivian police have seized a massive stash of cocaine diluted inside hundreds of wine bottles, state media reported Thursday. Authorities believe the $2 million worth of diluted and solid cocaine is tied to a drug trafficking organization that made shipments to Italy, the state-run ABI news agency said. Police said they arrested a Brazilian suspect in a raid in a residential neighborhood in the city of Santa Cruz. The man tried to kill himself with a pocket knife when authorities cornered him, according to ABI. "They were diluting it and putting it in bottles that they were going to put wine labels on," Marco Centellas, head of Bolivia's special forces to combat drug trafficking, told the state news agency.

(CNN) -- Two California teens who stranded themselves atop a windy, 8,600-foot-high cliff ended up being rescued in what resembled a movie scene, according to authorities. The boys, 16 and 17, were hoisted off the cliff in the Sierra Buttes in Northern California on Saturday, according to the California Highway Patrol. The CHP sent a helicopter and a small plane to retrieve the teens, who had stranded themselves on a narrow shelf on the cliff while hiking. It took several attempts to hoist the boys as winds blew in excess of 20 mph, according to a CHP news release. Rescuers gave them instructions via loud speaker and used a camera system to zoom in to watch the teens safely harness themselves. One teen was hoisted and flown to a designated landing zone on State Highway 49 before the rescue was repeated with the other boy.

Milan, Italy (CNN) -- About 150 people were missing Wednesday after a boat capsized in the Mediterranean Sea, the Italian Coast Guard said. The boat was carrying about 200 passengers when it sank about 39 miles (62 kilometers) west off the island of Lampedusa in Maltese waters, the Coast Guard said. Maltese authorities were heading the rescue operation with the Italian Coast Guard assisting. Darkness and poor weather hampered the search when the first rescue boats arrived early Wednesday morning, officials said. Since then, rescue vessels have rescued 48 people and were looking for the rest. The passengers are believed to be of Tunisian descent.

(CNN) -- A bomb blast in the northern Nigerian city of Kano killed at least four people late Sunday, according to local police. The blast occurred at a busy intersection in a predominantly Christian area of the city and left several cars burning, Kano police spokesman Rabilu Ringim told CNN. Police cordoned off the area and were searching for suspects and any additional bombs. It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the attack, the spokesman said. Terrorism in Nigeria has been in the global spotlight recently since more than 200 school girls were kidnapped by Boko Haram. The terror group abducted an estimated 276 girls on April 14 from a boarding school in Chibok in northeastern Nigeria. Dozens escaped, but more than 200 girls are still missing.

(CNN) -- An unmanned drone crashed on a South Korean island near its disputed maritime border with the North, the country's defense ministry said Tuesday. The drone crashed on the Baekryeong Island on Monday afternoon, the ministry said -- soon after North and South Korean artillery batteries exchanged hundreds of shells across their western sea border. The South Korean military is investigating. The country's Yonhap news agency, quoting an unnamed government source, said the drone crashed near the western sea border, known as the Northern Limit Line after the artillery exchange -- raising the possibility that it was a North Korean reconnaissance plane.

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the abduction of 30 teenage boys who were seized from Pakistan's tribal region during an outing last week. The militant group said it abducted the boys to punish their tribe for forming a pro-government militia to battle the Taliban. The boys were taken Thursday from Bajaur Agency, which lies along the porous border with Afghanistan. It is one of seven districts in Pakistan's tribal region. "Everyone who supports the government against Taliban will face the same fate," the Taliban spokesman said. Islam Zeb, a senior administrator in Bajaur Agency, told CNN on Friday the boys were walking to a picnic spot along a river to mark the end of the Muslim month of Ramadan when they were taken.

The former Boston Red Sox star was arrested at a residence on one charge of touch/strike battery, the Broward County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.
