A drone strike in Afghanistan has killed a militant commander who recently swore allegiance to Islamic State (IS), officials say. The police chief of Helmand said that former Taliban commander Mullah Abdul Rauf had died in the Nato strike.
In the regime’s view, it is the U.S.-led coalition’s only viable partner in northeast Syria. The disarray of the former Free Syrian Army means it will not revive there, and the Kurdish PYD will not extend beyond its autonomous zone in al-Hasakeh.

We have Saudi women who work for us at the GE Manufacturing Technology Center in Dammam. We have lots of talented Saudi women who work for GE not just in the Kingdom but in other countries. We are very pleased with their caliber. We also are pleased with the observations that we get from our partner TCS, which operates over a hundred facilities around the world that perform activities similar to what we are performing in Riyadh at the business process center. They report that the quality of the work at the center compare favorably with the centers that they operate around the world. So that’s an even better report card.
