A picture released Friday, Dec. 12, 2013, by the Italian Police, showing Patrizia Messina Denaro. Police have arrested the sister of Italy's No. 1 Cosa Nostra fugitive in pre-dawn sweep in western Sicily that investigators say brought them closer than ever in their quest to capture the powerful Mafia boss. Matteo Messina Denaro has eluded capture since 1993. On Friday, police arrested his sister, Patrizia Messina Denaro, at home in Castelvetrano, a town in the heart of the crime clan's stronghold. They also arrested a nephew and a cousin of his and 27 others, including businessmen allegedly in cahoots with him. After the capture of other Mafia long-time fugitives in the last two decades, Messino Denaro is the top Cosa Nostra figure still at large. In Palermo, Carabinieri commander Mario Parente told reporters: "We have never come as close to Matteo Messina Denaro as today." (AP Photo/Italian Police)

Ap Online Top International Short HeadlinesMissing American in Iran was on unapproved missionThis undated handout photo provided by the family of Robert Levinson, shows retired-FBI agent Robert Levinson in a photo the family received in April 2011. In March 2007, Levinson flew to Kish Island, an Iranian resort. Days later after a meeting with an admitted killer, he vanished. For years the U.S. has publicly described him as a private citizen who was traveling on private business. However, an Associated Press investigation reveals that Levinson was working for the CIA. In a breach of the most basic CIA rules, a team of analysts with no authority to run spy operations, paid Levinson to gather information. But even after the White House, FBI and State Department officials learned of Levinson's CIA ties, the official story remained unchanged. There has been no hint of Levinson's whereabouts since his family received this photo in 2011 and even Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says he has no information about Levinson's whereabouts.
