Turkey Retaliates for Syrian Mortar Strike; Explosion Hits Square in Aleppo, Syria; Burglar Steals Last Photo of Aurora Victim; 84-Year-Old Rescued from Sinking Car
BLITZER: A new book reveals if U.S. Navy SEALs had captured Osama Bin Laden, President Obama would have put him on trial in a civilian court rather than in front of a military tribunal. "Vanity Fair's" excerpts from the new book entitled "The Finish" he says the president told him and I'm quoting now "My belief was if we captured him I would be in a pretty strong position politically here to argue that due process and rule of law would be our best weapon of al Qaeda in preventing him from appearing as a martyr." That's a direct quote from the president in this new book. Lisa Sylvester's monitoring some of the top stories in THE SITUATION ROOM right now. What else is going on, Lisa?</s>LISA SYLVESTER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hi, there, Wolf. Well, Turkey has struck back at Syria after a cross-border mortar strike. The office of the Turkish prime minister says, quote, "Points in Syria have been hit by artillery fire." A mortar strike from Syria killed five people in a Turkish town near the border. A NATO meeting to discuss the clash is underway now and it comes on the same day that three car bombs hit a popular square in Aleppo, Syria's biggest city. At least 40 people were killed in that strike. That city has become the epicentre of the battle between rebels and the forces of President Bashar Al-Assad. And a home burglary has left a Denver man without the last photographs taken of his 6-year-old granddaughter, a victim of the Aurora theatre shootings. This is one picture of Veronica Mozar Sullivan, the youngest of the 12 people killed at the movie theatre in July. The "Denver Post" reports that Robert Sullivan lost four cameras in the burglary and one of those cameras contained a memory card with the last photos ever taken of Veronica. Her mother was wounded in the shooting and is still recovering. And an 84-year-old woman is alive today because of the heroism of the bystanders in Portland, Maine. Ursula Nixon broke her leg after she crashed her car into the harbor. Several people you see in the pictures there they jumped into the water as the car slowly sank below the surface. Nixon's family says she faces weeks of recovery, but she's grateful to her rescuers. Looked like about five people or so there, Wolf, jumped in that water. I'm sure that water wasn't very warm either talking Portland, Maine.</s>BLITZER: They saved her. Good for them and good for her. Thank you. Gloria Borger also sat down with Ann Romney. Her national exclusive interview that's coming up, but first, our unsolicited advice panel is standing by. They're going to preview some key questions you're going to want to listen for in tonight's debate.
