GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- In a tragic case of mistaken identity, the family of an Indiana college student believed to have survived a multiple-fatality crash in late April said yesterday that their daughter was dead, while the parents of a student thought to have died in that collision learned their daughter was alive in a Michigan hospital. The sad and extraordinary story came to light on a Web log set up by the family of Laura VanRyn, a 22-year-old student from Caledonia, Mich. Her relatives had kept a five-week vigil at the Grand Rapids hospital bed of the young woman they thought was their daughter.

SEATTLE - An Oregon lawyer arrested in the train bombings in Madrid, Spain, was cleared of wrongdoing yesterday after the FBI determined it had misidentified a fingerprint on a bag of detonators. A federal judge threw out the case against Brandon Mayfield, a Muslim convert, who was arrested May 6 and held for two weeks as a material witness in the bombings that killed 197 people and injured 2,000. He was the first American linked to the attack. Spanish authorities identified the print as belonging to an Algerian last week.

The class action suit, filed in Seattle by the American Civil Liberties Union, seeks to force the federal Transportation Security Administration to develop an effective grievance system for people mistakenly singled out in anti-terrorism screenings.
