Centrifuges at Iran's Natanz site likely destroyed, nuclear watchdog says
VIENNA — Centrifuges at Iran's underground uranium enrichment plant at Natanz were likely to have been "severely damaged if not destroyed altogether" following Israeli strikes on Friday, the head of the global nuclear watchdog has told the BBC.Rafael Grossi of the International Atomic Energy Agency said this was a result of power cuts caused by the attack, in which an above-ground plant was "completely destroyed".The damage was likely caused despite the underground hall housing the centrifuges — machines that enrich uranium — not being directly hit, he added.He said four buildings were also damaged at the Isfahan nuclear site but no damage was visible at the underground Fordo enrichment plant.Israel said it attacked the sites and killed nine Iranian nuclear...

Gunmen storm Mexican village hall and shoot mayor
MEXICO CITY — Gunmen have killed the mayor of the Mexican municipality of San Mateo Piñas in the latest deadly attack on local officials.Witnesses said four armed men arrived on motorcycles, stormed the village hall and opened fire on the mayor, Lilia Gema García Soto, and a local official who was in a meeting with her, Eli García Ramírez.Two municipal police officers were also injured in the attack.While officials are still investigating the possible motive for the killing, local officials are often targeted by criminal gangs for failing to do their bidding.García Soto is the second mayor to be killed in Oaxaca state this year.

Era of nuclear disarmament coming to an end, SIPRI warns
STOCKHOLM — The era of nuclear disarmament is coming to an end while new technologies push the risk of nuclear conflict higher, SIPRI warned on Monday.The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) stressed in its annual assessment of the state of armaments, disarmament and international security, that although the number of nuclear warheads in the world continued to decline last year due to the US and Russia dismantling retired warheads, the pace of such dismantlements is slowing down.The rate at which new warheads enter global stockpiles could therefore soon outpace dismantlements, SIPRI said, as nuclear states pursue modernisation programmes."The era of reductions in the number of nuclear weapons in the world, which had lasted since the end of the Cold War, is...

Uganda leader signs new law allowing military trials for civilians
KAMPALA — Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni has signed into law an amendment that will allow, once again, civilians to be tried in a military court under certain circumstances.A previous law permitting such trials was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in January.Before that ruling, civilians could be taken to a military tribunal if they had been found with military equipment like guns or army uniforms. Activists had complained that the law was used to persecute government critics.Parliamentarians passed the amendment last month amid a heavy police presence and a boycott by opposition lawmakers, who argued that it violated the ruling by the country's highest court.In January, the judges said that the military courts were neither impartial nor competent to exercise...
