WASHINGTON (AP) — The investigation began years ago after two drug dealers got into a car accident in a small Tennessee town. What followed was a series of secret wiretaps, a shootout with police and the discovery of drugs hidden in a tractor trailer that would eventually lead federal investigators back to cartel leaders in Mexico. The investigation culminated with Justice Department indictments unsealed Thursday against three leaders and two high-ranking enforcers of the United Cartels, a leading rival of Jalisco New Generation Cartel. The U.S. government is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to…
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Attorneys for the gunman who killed 10 Black people at a Buffalo supermarket say the federal charges against him should be dropped because there weren’t enough Black people and other minority groups on the grand jury that indicted him.A judge is scheduled to hear arguments Thursday on Payton Gendron’s claim that the selection process for the grand jury was flawed. Gendron, who is white, could face the death penalty if convicted in the 2022 mass shooting at a Tops supermarket, which he targeted because of its location in a primarily Black neighborhood. Those killed ranged in…
KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — The dead body of 2 1/2-year-old Ro’a Mashi lay on the table in Gaza’s Nasser Hospital, her arms and rib cage skeletal, her eyes sunken in her skull. Doctors say she had no preexisting conditions and wasted away over months as her family struggled to find food and treatment.Her family showed The Associated Press a photo of Ro’a’s body at the hospital, and it was confirmed by the doctor who received her remains. Several days after she died, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday told local media, “There is no hunger. There was…
Even the most basic history of US global interventionism – always aimed at preserving its own economic hegemony – undermines the notion that Washington could suddenly become a force for good in the world, regardless of who is in power. From the firebombing of Tokyo to the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki; from the destruction of Dresden to the napalming of Southeast Asia; from the dismantling of the Iraqi state through “shock and awe” to myriad other coups, assaults and wars, the US has used all manner of weaponry and methods to achieve its goals. But while political analysts and…

A sudden panic has gripped supporters of Israel across the world. Western neo-colonial regimes, including the white settler-colonies of Australia, Canada and New Zealand, are most anxious about the fate of the last European settler-colony in Asia. Even pro-Israel British and American Jewish organisations have joined the new chorus of the anxious. While fully defending Israel’s ongoing crimes before and since 7 October 2023, its western supporters have suddenly developed moral compunctions about the more recent phase of the genocide, where the continued outright bombing and incineration of Gaza in a holocaust is now compounded by the deliberate mass starvation…
On his expectations for the season…The reason why that is so difficult [to retain the title] lies mainly in the fact that there’s so many competitors that can also win the league over here. To win it once is already very special, let alone if you can win it twice in three, four or five years, or as we did, twice in five years and [Manchester] City did even better than us in the last few years. So that’s unbelievable if you’re able to do this in this league. And probably this year is going to be harder than every…
When Burnley completed a deal for Quilindschy Hartman, it was deemed a bit of a coup. A year ago, the now-23-year-old was at the top of his game. The left-back played a major role in winning the Eredivisie with Feyenoord at the age of just 21 and was closing in on a spot in the Netherlands’ Euro 2024 squad. But that wasn’t the only big change in the works last summer. Hartman was in talks to sign for Chelsea, with Arsenal also interested. Then disaster struck.A serious knee injury in March 2024 ended not only his Euro hopes but his…
