Man Dies at Milan Airport After Being Sucked Into Jet Engine, Official Says
The man was neither a passenger nor an airport employee, according to an official for Sacbo, the company that manages Milan Bergamo Airport. The official requested anonymity because he was not authorized to be quoted.
Flight operations at the airport were suspended at 10:20 a.m. local time because of 'a problem' on the taxiway, Sacbo said in a statement, and resumed at noon.
The authorities were investigating the incident, the official said. He did not respond to questions about the airline the plane belonged to or how the man had accessed the runway.
Nineteen flights at the airport were canceled and several were delayed, according to FlightAware, a company that tracks flight information.

FBI releases new images of Iran intel officers allegedly involved in Robert Levinson abduction
Federal authorities on Tuesday released new images of three Iranian intelligence officers allegedly involved in the abduction of retired FBI special agent Robert Levinson. Each attached to a seeking information poster, the images of Reza Amiri Moghadam, Taghi Daneshvar and Gholamhossein Mohammadnia are part of an extensive investigation into Levinson's disappearance in 2007, the FBI's Washington field office said. Moghadam is the current Iranian ambassador to Pakistan and previously led the operations unit of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security in Tehran, an agency whose members the FBI has accused of helping orchestrate Levinson's abduction. Daneshvar is described by the FBI as a high-ranking officer in the Iranian intelligence ministry involved in counterespionage activities. Around the time Levinson disappeared, he allegedly oversaw the work of Mohammad Baseri, another Iranian intelligence officer whom the United States government has accused in the abduction. Mohammadnia is a senior deputy in the intelligence ministry who served as the Iranian ambassador to Albania in 2016, before being expelled from Albania two years later for "damaging its national security," according to the FBI. The U.S. agency said Mohammadnia led an initiative to blame Levinson's disappearance "on a terrorist group in Pakistan's Baluchistan region to shift blame away from the Iranian government." "These three intelligence officers were among those who allegedly facilitated Bob's 2007 abduction and the subsequent cover-up by the Iranian government. Bob likely later perished in captivity far away from his family, friends, and colleagues," said Steven Jenson, the assistant director in charge of the FBI's Washington office, in a statement. "The FBI will continue its relentless pursuit to hold anyone involved in his abduction to account for their reprehensible actions." The U.S. has maintained a view since Levinson vanished that the retired agent was kidnapped during an unauthorized CIA mission in Iran, and subsequently detained wrongfully by the Iranian government. Levinson was believed to be alive for years, until U.S. officials in 2020 said intelligence indicated he may actually have been dead "for some time." Moghadam, Daneshvar and Mohammadnia were sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department in March for allegedly playing a role in Levinson's "abduction, probable death, and Iran's efforts to cover up or obfuscate their responsibility," the federal agency said in an announcement at the time. The latest seeking information posters followed two others released by the FBI in December, for Baseri and Ahmad Khazai, both Iranian senior intelligence officers thought to be responsible for Levinson's abduction, detention and probable death. Federal authorities have described the men as high-ranking officers in the Iranian intelligence ministry. Both also were sanctioned by the U.S. government.

Watch Live: Fall River, Massachusetts fire chief update on deadly assisted living fire
There's no word yet on what caused the tragic deadly fire at the Gabriel House assisted living home in Fall River, Massachusetts. Fall River Fire Chief Jeffrey Bacon will have an update at 1 p.m. Tuesday on the investigation. You can watch it live on CBS News Boston in the video above. Nine residents, all over the age of 60, were killed in the fire Sunday night. Thirty were hurt and one remained in critical condition Tuesday. Bristol County District Attorney Tom Quinn said the cause "does not appear to be suspicious at this time." The owner of Gabriel House, Dennis Etzkorn, said he's cooperating with authorities and told the Boston Globe he will "provide them with any information they may need." Investigators are looking at several possible issues that may have made fighting the fire and saving residents more difficult. Bacon said air conditioners in the windows were obstructions for firefighters during the rescues. Resident Lorraine Ferrara said when she walked into the hallway during the fire she was hit by hot water from the sprinkler system. She went back into her room and later was saved by a firefighter who broke a window and got her out onto a ladder. "She didn't hear any smoke detectors" Bill Perlo's sister has lived in Gabriel House for 17 years. She told him the sprinklers did go off during the fire, but there were no smoke detectors. She was saved from her basement room by a firefighter. "She didn't hear any smoke detectors. That's the one thing, the common thing I heard when I was talking to all the people yesterday. If that was the case, maybe someone should look into that," Perlo told reporters Tuesday. Some residents told WBZ-TV Monday they heard alarms in the hallways, but not the rooms, during the fire. The alarms were heard in the background during a news conference Monday morning, hours after the fire. However, Bacon told reporters he didn't know if they were working at the time of the fire. WBZ has reached out to Etzkorn for comment on the sprinklers, smoke detectors and staffing at the home on the night of the fire, but he has not yet responded. Fall River Fire Department staffing The firefighters' union said Monday that the Fall River Fire Department was understaffed. Edward Kelly, the general president of the International Association of Fire Fighters said there would have been eight more firefighters at the scene if they had been staffed properly. Fall River Mayor Paul Coogan said the city staffs the department to the number the fire chief requests. The National Fire Protection Association recommends four firefighters per company. The union said most Fall River companies operate with three. However, the President of the Massachusetts Fire Chiefs' Association said many departments across the state struggle to meet that ideal standard.
