Little boy in Aleppo a vivid reminder of war's horror.

His name is Omran Daqneesh. The image of him, bloodied and covered with dust, sitting silently in an ambulance awaiting help, is another stark reminder of the toll of the war in Syria.

He is young -- one witness puts him at five years old, as old as the Syrian war itself. But his chubby arms and legs and the way he clings to the man who pulled him from the rubble of his bombed-out home suggest he is younger, maybe still a toddler.

The report that four American Olympic swimmers were robbed at gunpoint while partying one night in Rio de Janeiro was a lie to cover up an act of vandalism of a gas station that resulted in the athletes being properly detained by security guards, Brazilian police said Thursday.

"The surveillance tapes show that there was no violence against the athletes at the gas station," said Civil Police chief Fernando Veloso at a press conference on the investigation. "Their claim that they are a victim of an assault or robbery or any kind of violence is not true."

He added the the athletes -- Ryan Lochte, James Feigen, Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz -- should "provide apologies to the city of Rio."

While all of the athletes may have played a role in the vandalism, the principal troublemaker was 32-year-old Lochte, winner of six Olympic gold medals, who got into an angry, drunken confrontation with security guards," Veloso said.

Lochte, who has returned to the United States, gave interviews in which he claimed his group was confronted by robbers in police uniforms, one of whom he said put a gun to his head; he has continued to stand by his story of a robbery through statements given by his attorney.
