ISLAMABAD – The United States wants access to Osama bin Laden’s three widows and any intelligence material its commandos left behind at the al Qaeda leader’s compound, a top American official said in comments that could add a fresh sticking point in already frayed ties with Pakistan. Information from the women, who remained in the house after the commandos killed bin Laden, might answer questions about whether Pakistan harbored the al Qaeda chief as many American officials are speculating. It could also reveal details about the day-to-day life of bin Laden, his actions since the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and the inner workings of al Qaeda. CBS News homeland security correspondent Bob Orr reports that, for the moment at least, for some unknown reason, 부천출장만남 Pakistan is denying the U.S. access to the three women. “60 Minutes”: Obama on the bin Laden missionVideo: The full “60 Minutes” interviewComplete coverage: The Killing of Osama bin Laden The women, along with several children also picked up from the house, are believed to be in Pakistani army custody.

(AP) HARARE, Zimbabwe – Bulawayo city officials Monday urged all residents to join the “big flush” to help Zimbabwe’s second city clear toilet waste that accumulated in sewers during days of water outages. Bulawayo city spokesperson Nesisa Mpofu asked all residents to flush their toilets simultaneously at 7:30 p.m. twice a week, 속초출장안마 on Mondays and Thursdays. She said a new timetable was issued Monday. She said residents can also flush at other times. Many residents had mistakenly thought they could only flush on Monday and Thursday evenings. Mpofu said synchronized flushing will help move waste in the “old and overburdened” sanitation system, worsened by a growing urban population, water shortages and a troubled economy. Civic activist groups on Monday however criticized the proposed solution by city authorities as “ridiculous.” Magondonga Mahlangu, a leader of WOZA, an activist organization that champions women’s issues and protests against the nation’s poor service, told The Associated Press that the council’s proposed “big flush” is an insult to people’s dignity. Mahlangu said city authorities needed to look at fixing the aging water and sewer pipes which have not been replaced in years. Zimbabwe had world record inflation before the formation in 2009 of a coalition government between longtime President Robert Mugabe and the former opposition leader Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai. “It just goes to show that someone in the council has lost touch...

Hurricane Florence, which had strengthened into the first major hurricane of the 2018 Atlantic hurricane season, weakened to a Category 1 storm Thursday as it moved on a path toward Bermuda. As of 5 p.m. ET Thursday, 놀이터 토토 the storm had maximum sustained winds of 80 mph but was expected to reintensify Friday, the National Hurricane Center said.  Large swells from Florence are expected to hit Bermuda starting Friday, and portions of the U.S. East Coast over the weekend.

The eye of the hurricane was located 1,050 miles east-southeast of Bermuda as of 5 p.m. ET Thursday and the storm is moving northwest at 10 mph.  Sustained winds have decreased from 130 mph Wednesday when Florence was classified as a Category 4 hurricane.  If Florence continues its current track across the Atlantic, it is likely to hit Bermuda. It should also miss Puerto Rico – located nearly 1,600 miles southwest – which started the 2018 Atlantic hurricane season with its electrical grid and other infrastructure still under repairs from Hurricane Maria last year. The situation was recently criticized in a federal report.  The National Hurricane Center has not yet issued any coastal watches or warnings as of their 5 p.m. ET advisory. But Florence is expected to generate potentially dangerous surf swells...
