ST. LOUIS (AP) — Missouri's status as one of the most active death penalty states is about to change for one simple reason: The state is running out of inmates to execute.

Missouri isn't alone. Across the nation, the number of people awaiting the ultimate punishment has declined sharply over the past three decades. There are several reasons. Prosecutors are hesitant to take on the expense of a capital case. The Supreme Court has banned execution of those who were minors at the time of the crime, and the mentally disabled.

An explosive-laden car rammed into a Pakistani military convoy on Saturday in a town near the Afghan border, killing at least 13 soldiers, sources said. Four Pakistani intelligence officials and a senior local administrator told Reuters that the convoy was attacked in Mir Ali area of North Waziristan district. Around 10 other soldiers were wounded, some critically, and they were being airlifted to a military hospital, the sources said. "It was huge, a big bang," said the local administrator, adding that residents of the town could see a large amount of smoke billowing from the scene from a great distance. One resident said that the explosion rattled the windowpanes of nearby houses, and caused some roofs to collapse. No one has so far claimed responsibility.
