  Two American soldiers and a civilian interpreter were killed in central Syria on Saturday after an alleged member of the Islamic State group opened fire on a joint US-Syrian patrol, officials said. The  U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced the deaths on X after Syria’s state media earlier reported an attack in the city of Palmyra had wounded American and Syrian troops. “An ambush by a lone ISIS gunman” resulted in the three Americans’ deaths as well as injuries to three additional troops, said CENTCOM, which oversees the U.S. military in the Middle East. “The gunman was engaged and killed,” it said.

As a part of a so-called GOAT Tour, the 38-year-old Argentina and Inter Miami superstar touched down in the eastern state of West Bengal early Saturday, greeted by a chorus of exuberant fans chanting his name. Hours later, thousands of fans wearing Messi jerseys and waving the Argentine flag packed into Salt Lake stadium in the state capital Kolkata, but heavy security around the footballer left fans struggling to catch a glimpse of him.

Many others stormed the pitch and vandalised banners and tents. “For me, to watch Messi is a pleasure, a dream. But I have missed the chance to have a...

  T he Nigerian Government has admitted that security agencies face major technical hurdles in tracking SIM cards allegedly used by kidnappers and other criminal networks, despite years of mandatory SIM registration and National Identification Number (NIN) linkage.  Nigeria’s Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, disclosed this on Friday while explaining government efforts to combat insecurity through the telecommunications sector. Speaking with the journalists, Tijani said the challenge was “far more technical” than many Nigerians realise, noting that criminal gangs have adapted to existing surveillance measures by deploying advanced communication techniques that exploit poor network coverage. The telecom sector has remained under intense scrutiny since 2020, when the Federal Government enforced compulsory NIN–SIM linkage as part of efforts to curb fraud, anonymous communication and crimes linked to unregistered phone lines. However, Tijani...
