Israeli officials believe it is only a matter of time before Syrian rebels top- ple the longtime leader. The conflict has already spilled over into several of Syria's other neighbors — whether in direct violence or in the flood of refugees fleeing the bloodshed. More than 36,000 Syrians have been killed in the fighting, according to estimates by anti-Assad activists. Syria's conflict Syria's neighbors are increasingly being drawn into the country's civil war in a variety of ways, whether militarily or due to an exodus of Syrians fleeing the fighting at home.

Spokesman Raphael Martinez says John McAfee was the neighbor of 52-year-old Gregory Viant Faull. Faull was found with a gunshot wound to his head inside his home north of San Pedro, a town on the island of Ambergris Caye. Martinez says other neighbors have been questioned, but McAfee has not been home. McAffee could not be reached for comment by The Associated Press. Martinez said Monday that Faull's computer and phone were missing, but there were no signs of forced entry. The house- keeper discovered the body Sunday and called police. busy agenda WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress returns Tues- day to a crowded agenda of unfinished business overshadowed by the urgent need for President Barack Obama and law- makers to avert the eco- nomic double hit of tax increases and automatic spending cuts. Congress returns to hours of Dec. 31. But even before serious bud- get negotiations can begin, lawmakers will tackle leftover legislation on trade with Russia, mil- itary budgets and aiding farmers still reeling from the summer's drought. The first days back will be a mix of old and new — choosing down-ballot leaders in the Senate while the 12 new mem- bers, three Republicans, eight Democrats and one independent, are intro- duced to their colleagues. The House will welcome some 70 new members who will get a crash course on how Congress operates with a class on ethics Wednesday. While the nation's vot- ers endorsed the status quo of divided govern- ment — a Democratic president and Senate, a Republican House — Obama cruised to re-elec- tion and his emboldened party gained seats in both the House and Senate. In the new political order, Democrats will hold a 55- 45 edge in the Senate if independent Angus King of Maine caucuses with them as expected. Repub- licans' advantage in the House narrows and likely will stand at 233-201. Democrats were lead- ing in the six undecided House races in Arizona, California, Florida, North Carolina and Utah.
