Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:06:28 GMT

LONDON (AP) — An independent inquiry opened Monday to examine claims that British special forces murdered dozens of Afghan men during counterinsurgency operations in Afghanistan a decade ago, as well as allegations that authorities subsequently covered up the alleged illegal activity or failed to investigate it properly.The inquiry, which opened at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, focuses on alleged unlawful killings that took place during night raids carried out by Britain’s elite military units in the war-torn nation between 2010 and 2013.

Book Review: Isa Arsén delivers an unconventional love story in debut novel ‘Shoot the Moon’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:06:28 GMT

If you’re going to write a novel, why not do as the title of Isa Arsén’s debut suggests? “Shoot the Moon” refers to the actual act of getting astronauts to the lunar surface, but this work of fiction also attempts to shoot the moon like a fearless player in a Hearts card game — thematically, there’s bisexuality, loss, Daddy issues, and a unique wormhole that allows for some very specific time travel.The bulk of the novel takes place in the late 1960s, as NASA is indeed trying to beat the Soviets to the moon. Annie Fisk is the lead character, a recent physics graduate whose father played a role developing the atomic bomb before dying young. By page five Annie is in love with an Apollo 11 astronaut named Norm she meets at a NASA Christmas party. And by page seven we’ve gone backwards 18 years and 8-year-old Annie is meeting a like-aged stranger named Diana in the back garden of her childhood home in New Mexico.The plot only gets trippier from there. In 1968, Annie really does discover...

AUSTIN (KXAN) – The war between Israel and Hamas has impacted the Israeli community in Central Texas. Rabbi Daniel Septimus, chief executive officer of Shalom Austin, spoke to KXAN about the feelings he and his congregation have right now. "It's just unprecedented what we're seeing happening in Israel. And this is taking place on the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, which was also a surprise attack, except this attack in particular was done in ways that really affected the civilians and towns throughout the southern part of Israel," Septimus said. "So, that part is even more challenging and more tragic than what was taking place before where there were attacks on soldiers, and less on civilians. This was a premeditated attack on innocent civilians." "Right now peace should always be on our minds," he added. "We should always be thinking about it, but peace is far away. Right now, we have to find a partner who's willing to make peace, and we do not have a partner currently on ...
