US military orders new interviews on the deadly 2021 Afghan airport attack as criticism persists

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 21:02:57 GMT

By LOLITA C. BALDOR (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon’s Central Command has ordered interviews of roughly two dozen more service members who were at the Kabul airport when suicide bombers attacked during U.S. forces’ chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal, as criticism persists that the deadly assault could have been stopped.The interviews, ordered by Gen. Erik Kurilla, head of U.S. Central Command, were triggered in part by assertions by at least one service member injured in the blast who said he was never interviewed about it and that he might have been able to stop the attackers.The interviews are meant to see if service members who were not included in the original investigation, have new or different information.The decision, according to officials, does not reopen the administration’s investigation into the deadly bombing and the withdrawal two years ago. But the additional interviews will likely be seized on by congressional critics, mostly Rep...

A disbarred Denver attorney accused of defrauding an investor of $125,000 is set to plead guilty in Denver District Court on Monday — six months after a judge rejected the first plea agreement reached in the case on the grounds it was too lenient.Steve Bachar, 57, on Wednesday asked to plead guilty to a single count of felony theft in a deal with prosecutors in which the two other felony counts against him — securities fraud and a more serious theft charge — would be dismissed, according to a series of court filings.Bachar could be sentenced to as much as six years in prison under the terms of the new agreement — a change from the last plea deal, which Denver District Court Judge Eric Johnson rejected because it would have allowed Bachar to avoid prison time and have the felony wiped from his record if he’d met certain conditions.Bachar pleaded guilty under the first plea agreement in November, but then withdrew his plea when Johnson threw out the agree...

EU lets Ukrainian grain ban expire even as countries threaten to pass their own

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 21:02:57 GMT

LONDON (AP) — The European Union on Friday decided not to renew a ban on Ukrainian food heading to nearby countries that have complained that an influx of agricultural products from the war-torn nation has hurt their farmers.The move sets up a clash with Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania, which have said that food coming from Ukraine has become stuck within their borders, creating a glut that has driven down prices for local farmers and hurt their livelihoods. The issue threatens European unity on supporting Ukraine against Russia’s invasion.Poland’s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki reacted by saying that his government will extend its own the ban on Ukrainian grain, regardless of any lack of consent from the European Commission, the EU’s executive arm. Officials said the measure would be published Friday.“We will do that because it is in the interest of Polish farmers,” Morawiecki said during a campaign rally ahead of Oct. 15 parliamentary e...
