Man Threatened Life of Dominican President, Prosecutors Say

Image
Mr. Figueroa was detained on Monday by a magistrate judge, James L. Cott. Federal authorities in New York have arrested a man who they said had posted threats on the internet to kill Luis Abinader, the president of the Dominican Republic, who arrived on Saturday for the 76th General Assembly of the United Nations. Enrique Figueroa, 47, began making the threats in August against Mr. Abinader, according to a criminal complaint made public on Monday. In one instance last month, Mr. Figueroa posted a video on Facebook invoking the assassination in July of Haiti’s president, Jovenel Moïse, saying that listeners should remember what had happened to him, the complaint said. The complaint, filed in Federal District Court in Manhattan, noted that early this month, the Dominican government provided U.S. law enforcement authorities with a screenshot of an Instagram post by Mr. Figueroa that showed a military-style assault rifle, accompanied by a caption that named Mr. Abinader and said, “W...

"Leaving Kabul was the most difficult decision of my life," he said, adding that he was sorry he "could not make it end differently". Mr. Ghani abruptly left Afghanistan as Taliban militants advanced on the capital on 15 August. He said he had not intended to abandon his people but "it was the only way". He also again denied the "baseless" allegations that he had traveled to the UAE with about $169m (£123m). In a statement shared on Twitter on Wednesday, Mr Ghani said he had no choice but to leave the country in order to avoid widespread violence. "I left at the urging of the palace security, who advised me that to stay risked setting off the same street-to-street fighting the city had suffered during the civil war of the 1990s," he wrote, adding that he did so to "save Kabul and her six million citizens". He said he had devoted 20 years to helping Afghanistan become a "democratic, prosperous and sovereign s...

An eternity later: Sponge fossils may be earliest animal on Earth | Daily Sabah

A geologist in Canada may have just discovered traces of the earliest known animal life on Earth in the northwestern region of the country, giving a glimpse of the humble dawn of life that occurred hundreds of millions of years ago, a report published Wednesday in the journal Nature said. Around a billion years ago, a region of northwest Canada now defined by steep mountains was a prehistoric marine environment where the remains of ancient sponges may be preserved in mineral sediment, the paper says. Geologist Elizabeth Turner discovered the rocks in a remote region of the Northwest Territories accessible only by helicopter, where she has been excavating since the 1980s. Thin sections of rock contain three-dimensional structures that resemble modern sponge skeletons. "I believe these are ancient sponges – only this type of organism has this type of network of organic filaments," said Joachim Reitner, a geobiologist and expert in sponges at Germany's University of G...
