Kadhimi met Wednesday with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg in Brussels, expressing frustration over the recent attacks. He urged the coalition not to use Iraq to take on neighboring Syria and Iran. The Pentagon said U.S. forces conducted airstrikes Sunday along both sides of the Iraqi-Syrian border that they said were targeted “against facilities used by Iran-backed militia groups” allegedly used to launch “unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) attacks against U.S. personnel and facilities in Iraq....

The violence against the protesters seemed an outsized response. Now there’s evidence to suggest protesters were killed by a calculated and strategic use of military-style weaponry. Stitching together a 3D digital reconstruction of protests and marches using videos captured in Tahrir Square and Jumhuriya Bridge in Baghdad, Amnesty International and SITU Research found that Iraqi security forces used military-grade tear gas grenades to deliberately maim and kill protesters. “The security forces knew how deadly these abhorrent weapons were, but continued to fire at will, leading to a string of at least two dozen gruesome fatalities,” Brian Castner, senior crisis adviser on arms and military operations at Amnesty International, said in a statement....

After a night out on the town and a friend testing positive, the group all took videos saying who they thought would test positive and why. Allegedly, the friend who tested positive didn’t know she had coronavirus when they went out. According to The Mirror, the girls are from Skerries, which is near Dublin. The seven women list varying reasons why they think different people will test positive. Some of the reasons are simply that a friend is susceptible to illnesses or has been sick....

If the Auburn Tigers shut out Alabama on Nov. 30, and you've purchased a car Lynch Toyota between November 19-29, you'll be taking that car home for free. As the ad points out, it has happened before, but with Alabama being the favorite, a shutout seems unlikely. You're probably better off taking your chances with more traditional bargain hunting.

Reality Steve revealed news of the breakup on July 2, after previously claiming Brown had ended her engagement to Wyatt when his ex-girlfriend publically claimed he’d been in a relationship with her up until the day he left to film The Bachelorette.

Heringer will open up to James on Monday night’s Bachelor episode, specifically about her hearing disability. In the deep conversation, Heringer told James she wants to be a mom, but can’t promise her children won’t be born deaf, like herself and her sister. “I’m also going to be as open with you, obviously, through this process,” Heringer told James in an exclusive clip published by Entertainment Tonight. “You want a wife and you want a family, and you know I want those things too....

It’s easy to see why agave nectar appears to be a smart alternative to table sugar, as it’s lower on the glycemic index (GI)—one indication of how a given carbohydrate is likely to affect the levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood. However, this assessment isn’t as cut-and-dried as it may seem. If you have diabetes, you’ll want to understand how agave sugar really stacks up to sugar before working it into your diet or that of someone with the disease you care for....

That day has already arrived, Vegas owner Bill Foley told Forbes in a weekend interview. Foley, whose showmanship often pulls from the locale, claimed the Knights project to rank among the NHL’s top “five, six or seven” teams in ticket sales during their inaugural 2017-18 season, ahead of storied franchises like the Bruins, Flyers and two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Penguins. “Edmonton has more revenue in their brand-new arena,” Foley said....

Purdy had the dubious distinction of being dubbed “Mr. Irrelevant” after he was the last pick of the last NFL draft, leaving him as third-choice quarterback at the 49ers. Injuries have thrust the rookie into the spotlight and on Sunday he had a debut to remember after leading the 49ers to a crushing 35-7 win over the Buccaneers. Purdy completed 14 of 18 passes for 185 yards and two touchdowns without a turnover, as he deputized for Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo, who are both out with season-ending injuries....

If all goes according to plan, Shields should continue that momentum in 2023. Shields beat Marshall via unanimous decision to win the WBO middleweight title. The Sporting News’ 2022 Women’s Boxer of the Year avenged a loss from the amateurs, the only defeat of her career. She could face Marshall in a rematch this year. Newcastle’s St James’ Park is the rumored destination. However, per Shields’ promoter, it may not happen right away....

Ronaldinho lands Barcelona role The €38 million signing from Wolfsburg has scored four times in only five appearances for Unai Emery’s side and has rapidly established himself ahead of Angel Di Maria in the Parc des Princes pecking order. Of course, the 23-year-old does not boast the same reputation as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who departed for Manchester United in the summer, but there is one aspect in which the midfielder already far exceeds the Swede: his ability to speak French....

Blue Point Brewery gave its employees the day off on Election Day in 2018 when it drafted the petition, but it wanted the effort to span the nation to increase voter turnout, which for some elections is less than 40 percent. “We the people believe that voting is the heart and soul of democracy,” Blue Point Brewery said in the petition said. In 1845, Congress determined that Election Day would fall on a Tuesday in November because in farming communities, Tuesday was the least busy day and the month made sense because the harvest was over but the winter cold had not set in yet....

The Belgian appeared to be money well spent for the Red Devils when he burst out of the blocks with 11 goals in his opening 10 games. At that stage, the 24-year-old found himself earning plenty of plaudits as he was billed as the man to help lead another trophy charge at Old Trafford. Lukaku has, however, managed just two efforts in his last 14 outings and endured a nightmare showing in the derby with Manchester City on Sunday as he made two costly errors defensively and spurned a glorious opportunity to snatch a point for Jose Mourinho’s men....
