| Insight: Islamic State learns lessons from U.S. raid - jihadist sources |

The sources said a spy must have infiltrated the movement and passed on vital information that helped the U.S. commandos zero in on the home of their victim early Saturday when most of the guards had left to join a battle elsewhere. The Islamic State was also considering tightening its recruitment procedures to try to root out moles and was considering forming a specialist unit to counter such attacks in future.

 The Justice Department said Attorney General Loretta Lynch would announce resolutions for other banks in connection with exchange rate manipulation at a press conference in Washington on Wednesday at 10 a.m. EDT (1400 GMT). UBS's payment is part of what is expected to be a combined multi billion-dollar settlement by five of the world's biggest banks with U.S. and British authorities over alleged manipulation of the $5 trillion-a-day forex market. UBS has not been charged because it was the first bank to report the misconduct to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).
