Seven Americans Dead in Afghanistan Amid Fresh Attacks
In Kabul on Saturday seven American service members and a NATO ally were killed as Taliban forces stepped up the spring offensive. The clashes included a deadly roadside bombing in Kandahar and an insider attack in the west, with civilian and Afghan troops also losing lives. Karzai confirmed ongoing CIA funding to Kabul, while talks on a bilateral security agreement faced delays due to Afghan conditions. The batch of fatalities marks another in a string of seven-American days, underscoring the volatile security situation in Afghanistan.

Experts say feds pressure Tsarnaev widow and inner circle
Federal agents surveil Katherine Russell as she leaves her parents' home and press the inner circle around Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Authorities have arrested three college friends and seek ties to a wider terrorism network while pursuing possible accomplices domestically or abroad. Dzhokhar faces a potential death sentence for the April 15 bombing that killed three and injured over 260 as Tamerlan died in a shootout days later.
