Ship loaded with gas ablaze off the coast of Yemen, vessel abandoned as 1 mariner missing A Cameroonian-flagged ship caught fire Saturday in the Gulf of Aden off Yemen after possibly being struck by a projectile, officials said, with at least one mariner missing and another still likely aboard the burning tanker after the rest of the crew abandoned the vessel. U.K. and European Union officials offered differing opinions about what sparked the blaze on the Falcon, with the British suggesting a projectile hit it, while the EU said that it appeared to be "an accident." They warned ships in the area that the vessel could explode, because it was "fully loaded" with liquefied petroleum gas.

U.S. debt tops $38 trillion for the first time, worsened by government shutdown The U.S. gross national debt has surpassed $38 trillion for the first time, U.S. Treasury Department data shows. The country's mounting debt comes as the government remains closed, disrupting the economy as hundreds of thousands of federal workers go unpaid. Government shutdowns can boost the national debt because they delay economic activity and postpone fiscal decisions, while pausing federal programs and starting them up again can also increase costs. The Office of Management and Budget estimated that a 2013 U.S. government shutdown cost $2 billion in lost worker productivity.

FBI to help track down Barrio 18 gang leaders who escaped prison, Guatemala says Guatemala's government announced Tuesday that the United States would send an FBI team to help capture gang leaders whose jailbreak has triggered a security crisis in the Central American country. Local authorities last month announced that 20 members of the Barrio 18 gang had broken out of the Fraijanes II prison near Guatemala City, but did not specify when the escape happened. Only four of the fugitives have been recaptured so far. Guatemala has now followed Washington's lead by classifying Barrio 18, an El Salvador-based gang with a reputation for violence and extortion, as a "terrorist" organization. In September, the U.S. government blacklisted Barrio 18 as part of...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Kazakhstan will join Abraham Accords with Israel in symbolic move to boost Trump initiative Kazakhstan is set to join the Abraham Accords between Israel and Muslim majority countries, in a symbolic move aimed at boosting an initiative that was a hallmark of President Trump's first term. The action, announced Thursday, is largely symbolic as Kazakhstan has had diplomatic relations with Israel since 1992 and is much farther geographically from Israel than the other Abraham Accord nations — Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan and the United Arab Emirates. Those four countries agreed to normalize relations with Israel as a result of joining the accords, something Kazakhstan did shortly after gaining independence following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
