Israel’s attack on Qatar risks unwinding the decades-old foundation of US power in the energy-rich Gulf: its role as a reliable security guarantor. As wars raged in poorer neighbouring countries like Lebanon, Syria and Iraq, rich Gulf states could focus on building glitzy skyscrapers and hosting sporting events thanks to a constellation of US military bases and a steady stream of business deals greasing the wheels of diplomacy. The Gulf had to occasionally deal with missile and drone strikes in the region from rebels in Yemen, but the US would never lean on subterfuge to aid attacks, especially from another…

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Flowers and memorial messages were tied to the gate of Kiesel Park in Auburn, Alabama, to remember retired professor veterinary professor Julie Gard Schnuelle, who was attacked and killed there over the weekend. The murder of the retired professor at a city park has rattled the college town of 83,757 people.
