Pakistan strikes back after the terrorist siege at its busiest airport – Boko Haram kidnaps more women – The World Cup subway strike is on hold – Ergogan’s pettiness is on full display – And a lot more in your CareerSpot World News Briefs:

Boko Haram militants have abducted another 20 women at gunpoint from a village close to the Chibok school, where the Islamists kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls in April.  The military has not commented yet.  But Nigeria’s military and government are under intense criticism for failing to stop the Islamist insurgency in the north – and giving the impression that they’re not even trying to stop it.

Pakistan's military says airstrikes have killed 15 suspected militants in a lawless region near the Afghanistan border.  It comes a day after a terrorist assault at Pakistan's largest airport in Karachi killed at least 30 people, including 10 attackers.  Jinnah International Airport has reopened.  The Taliban took credit for the siege, calling it revenge for the killing of their commander last year, and promised more attacks. 

A worker building a monorail in Brazil’s biggest city died after a section of the project collapsed.  Authorities in Sao Paulo say at least two others had been injured.  The 17.7-kilometer monorail connecting the city’s main airport to the city’s transportation lines was supposed to be completed for the start of the 2014 FIFA World Cup on Thursday – but that’s not going to happen because it’s way behind schedule.

The Union representing Sao Paulo subway workers suspended their strike for two days.  But they’ll take another vote on Wednesday about continuing the strike.  That’s the day before the World Cup kickoff game is supposed to take place at Sao Paulo’s Corinthians Stadium, and the main mode of transportation to there is the subway.  The Union wants a pay hike of 12.2 percent, the government won’t offer anything above 8.7 percent.  Earlier in the day, cops and strikers clashed at a central subway station.

In West Africa, Sierra Leone says twelve people have died from the Ebola virus.  That doubles the death toll from last week.  It’s far lower than the more than 200 people killed by Ebola in neighboring Guinea, where the virus is believed to have first infected people in this outbreak.  The spread in Sierra Leone is discouraging for health workers trying to get this thing quarantined quickly.

Libya’s disputed prime minister is stepping aside.  Last week, the Supreme Court ruled that Ahmed Maiteg’s election was unconstitutional, and he says he will respect that decision.  Abdullah al-Thani was the man Maiteg was to replace, but al-Thani has not ceded power and reportedly was in discussions with a renegade general fighting the Islamists who backed Maiteg.

Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is vowing to make a Kurdish teenage protester who took down the national flag “pay the price”.  Photographs taken on Sunday showed the masked youth scaling a flagpole inside a Turkish military base in the majority-Kurdish north and pulling down the red banner.  It’s unclear that the government has any idea who this kid was, because (once again) he was wearing a mask.  Erdogan ranted that the protester’s age will not stop his revenge.

The world’s oldest man died over the weekend.  111-year old New Yorker Dr. Alexander Imich was born in 1903, fled his native Poland when the nazis took over, survived a Soviet work camp, and eventually made it to America.  The world’s oldest man is now Sakari Momoi of Saitama, Japan just outside Tokyo.  He’s also 111.  The world’s woman is way older than that – Misao Okawa of Osaka is 116 years old.
