US brings back El Salvador deportee to face charges
WASHINGTON — Kilmar Ábrego García, a 29-year-old from El Salvador mistakenly deported in March, has been returned to the US to face prosecution on two federal criminal charges.He has been accused of participating in a trafficking conspiracy over several years to move undocumented migrants from Texas to other parts of the country.El Salvador agreed to release Ábrego García after the US presented it with an arrest warrant, Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Friday.

World’s highest railway bridge opens in conflict-hit Kashmir
SRINAGAR — The world’s highest railway bridge, an ambitious piece of engineering across a mountain valley in Kashmir, was opened Friday by Indian Prime Minister Narenda Modi, just weeks after a deadly tourist massacre in the Himalayan region sparked a brief conflict with neighboring Pakistan.Modi’s visit to India-administered Kashmir was his first since a brief but deadly conflict between India and Pakistan in April.
