The attacker was identified as Thomas Jacob

The Transportation Department will immediately tighten up the requirements for non-citizens to get commercial drivers licenses after three fatal crashes this year in Florida, Texas and Alabama that officials say were caused by immigrant truck drivers who never should have received licenses. The nationwide audit of these licenses began after a fatal U-turn crash in Florida that killed two people caused by a truck driver who officials said was in the country illegally. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said also threatened to revoke $160 million in federal funding for California because inve

Trump said those who want peace should unite behind a message that Hamas should release its hostages now. Canada, Australia and the UK recently granted Palestine statehood. Trump meanwhile criticized European countries for continuing to buy oil and gas from Russia and said he would not move to impose new sanctions on Moscow until European countries stop their purchases from Russia. He also said that the

At least 24 people were killed in an explosion at a terrorist compound in the Tirah Valley of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Monday, according to reports.

A local police official said at least 14 militants and about 10 civilians, including women and children, were killed in the blast.
