| At least two die in police raid on group planning new Paris attack | | Thursday, November 19, 2015 3:35 AM | |
|  By Emmanuel Jarry and Antony Paone SAINT DENIS, France (Reuters) - A suicide bomber blew herself up in a police raid on Wednesday that sources said had foiled a jihadi plan to hit Paris's business district, days after a wave of attacks killed 129 across the French capital. Police stormed an apartment in the Paris suburb of St. Denis before dawn in a hunt for Abdelhamid Abaaoud, a Belgian militant accused of masterminding the bombings and shootings, but it was unclear whether he had died in the assault. "A new team of terrorists has been neutralised," Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins told reporters on Wednesday evening, saying police fired 5,000 rounds of munitions into the apartment, which was left shredded by the raid, its windows blown out and the facade riddled with bullet impacts.

| U.N. committee rebukes Myanmar over treatment of Muslim minority | | Thursday, November 19, 2015 2:53 AM | |
|  By Louis Charbonneau UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United Nations General Assembly's human rights committee on Wednesday criticized Myanmar for its treatment of the nation's Muslim minority and urged the Southeast Asian country to change its citizenship rules to make Rohingya full citizens. Although many have lived in Myanmar for generations, the Rohingya minority in the country also known as Burma is not one of the 135 ethnic groups recognised under the country's 1982 citizenship law and are thus entitled to only limited rights. The non-binding draft resolution, co-sponsored by European nations, the United States and other Western states, was adopted by consensus during a meeting of the 193-nation assembly's Third Committee, which focuses on human rights.

Norway's Prime Minister Erna Solberg told a news conference in Oslo that the Norwegian man, named by the foreign ministry as Ole Johan Grimsgaard-Ofstad, had most likely been killed.

| For Syrian refugees in U.S., fear gives way to hope | | Thursday, November 19, 2015 2:45 AM | |
|  By Sharon Bernstein SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Reuters) - They share a small two-bedroom apartment in Sacramento with few possessions, but for Syrian refugee Mohammad Abd Rabboh, his wife and two daughters, there is finally freedom from fear. Just six weeks after arriving in the United States, the girls are in school and no longer screaming in the night. "You walk in the street and someone falls dead right in front of you." Theirs is a story that could be easily lost in the U.S. political backlash against Syrian refugees that has been stirred by reports one of the militants involved in last Friday's deadly attacks in Paris may have hidden among the migrant flow.

| WADA flexes muscles with Russian doping agency ban | | Thursday, November 19, 2015 2:39 AM | |
| | By Steve Keating COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (Reuters) - Russia's sporting reputation was in tatters and drug cheats around the world put on notice on Wednesday as an emboldened World Anti-Doping Agency vowed to step up the war on performance-enhancing drugs. WADA capped a big fortnight for their cause, and a miserable one for Russia, by suspending the country's anti-doping agency on the back of an independent commission report that uncovered evidence of state-sponsored doping and cover-ups. The suspension of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) completed a non-compliance hat-trick. |

| Islamic State makes Telegram messaging app a major marketing tool | | Thursday, November 19, 2015 12:07 AM | |
|  The mobile messaging service Telegram, created by the exiled founder of Russia's most popular social network site, has emerged as an important new promotional and recruitment platform for Islamic State. A new feature of Telegram that was introduced in September has become the preferred method for Islamic State to broadcast news and share videos of military victories or sermons, according to security researchers. The group used Telegram to claim responsibility for the Paris attacks, which left 129 people dead, and the bombing of a Russian airliner over Egypt last month, which killed 224.

| Suicide bombers in Nigerian city of Kano kill at least 14, wound over 100 | |  By Nnekule Ikemfuna KANO, Nigeria (Reuters) - Two female suicide bombers blew themselves up at a mobile phone market in the northern Nigerian city of Kano on Wednesday, killing at least 14 people and wounding more than 100 others, the country's emergency response agency said. The explosions occurred around 4 p.m. local time (1500 GMT) at the Farm Centre phone market, near the centre of Nigeria's second biggest city, and come a day after a blast in the northeastern city of Yola killed 32 people and wounded 80 others. The attacks bear the hallmarks of Boko Haram, suggesting that the militant Islamist group, which has killed thousands over the last six years in its bid to create a state adhering to strict Sharia or Islamic law in the northeast, is stepping up its operations.

| Bullets, bombs and body parts fly in violent French raid | | | By Crispian Balmer PARIS (Reuters) - French police commandos fired more than 5,000 shots into an apartment near Paris on Wednesday during a raid against a heavily armed jihadist group that lasted seven hours and turned the area into a war zone. The fighting was so intense that not only were the police unable to identify the bodies of the militants after they had finally entered the apartment, but they could not even determine whether two or three people had died during the assault. With forensic experts still scouring the building in the St. Denis suburb north of the capital, the Paris chief prosecutor and the police chief who leads the crack RAID commandos spoke of a complex operation that ran into problems from the word 'go'. |
