The remaining asylum1 seekers on board the Oceanic Viking are preparing to disembark. The Australian customs ship will leave Indonesian waters later today if the 56 Sri Lankans still on board honor a commitment to come ashore2 in Indonesia. Australian and UN officials have already started interviewing the 22 asylum seekers who left the boat last Friday. They've agreed to a deal which means those with refugee status and family connections in Australia could be resettled within a month.

Independent Senator Nick Xenophon has accused the Church of Scientology of being a criminal organization. He told the Senate last night he's received letters from former followers3 alleging4 criminal activity.

"Scientology is not a religious organization, it's a criminal organization  hides behind its so-called religious beliefs." Senator Xenophon says there should be a parliamentary inquiry5 into the organization and a review of its tax-exempt status. The Church of Scientology says the comments are an abuse of parliamentary privilege.

And Wall Street ended its session fairly flat after the 2nd biggest discount retailer6 in the U.S. Target offered a cautious outlook for the Christmas season. The Dow added 30 points, the S&P 500 just one and NASDAQ just up four points.

That's the latest ABC News.
