Every day the fatigue and the battle," Bindi, 27, said. "I went for 10 years undiagnosed because doctors really didn't know enough, they diagnosed me with a million other things, like IBS, or hormones or, 'It's just part of being a woman.' The symptoms continued to snowball, and it took me such a long time to find help and it's a story that so many women and girls know all too well," she added.

Iraq starts excavation of large mass grave left by Islamic State

Iraq starts excavation of large mass grave left by Islamic State

IRBIL, Iraq (AP) — Iraqi officials have begun the excavation of what is believed to be a mass grave left behind by theIslamic State extremist groupduring its rampage across the country a decade ago. Local authorities are working with the judiciary, forensic investigations, Iraq's Martyrs' Foundation, and the directorate ofmass graves to carry out the excavationof the site of a sink hole in al-Khafsa, south of the northern city of Mosul, the state-run Iraqi News Agency reported Sunday. Ahmad Qusay al-Asady, head of the Martyrs Foundation's mass graves excavation department, told The Associated Press that his team began work at Khasfa on Aug. 9 at the request of Nineveh province's Gov. Abdulqadir al-Dakhil. The operation is initially limited to gathering visible human remains and surface evidence while preparing for a full exhumation that officials say will require international support. After an initial 15 days of work, the foundation's Mosul teams will build a database and start collecting DNA samples from families of suspected victims. Al-Asady explained that laboratory processing and a DNA database must come first to ensure proper identification. Full exhumations can only proceed once specialized assistance is secured to navigate the site's hazards, including sulfur water and unexploded ordnance. Khasfa is "a very complicated site," he said. Based on unverified accounts from witnesses and families and other unofficial testimonies, authorities estimate that thousands of bodies could be buried there, he said. Scores of mass graves containing thousands of bodies of people believed to have been killed by the extremist group have been found in Iraq and Syria. At its peak, IS ruled an area half the size of the United Kingdom in Iraq and Syria and was notorious for its brutality. It beheaded civilians and enslaved and raped thousands of women from the Yazidi community, one of Iraq's oldest religious minorities. The group was defeated in Iraq in July 2017, when Iraqi forces captured the northern city of Mosul. Three months later, it suffered a major blow when Kurdish forces captured the Syrian northern city of Raqqa, which was the group's de-facto capital. The war against IS officially ended in March 2019, when U.S.-backed and Kurdish-led fighters of the Syrian Democratic Forces captured the eastern Syrian town of Baghouz, which was the last sliver of land the extremists controlled. Rabah Nouri Attiyah, a lawyer who has worked on more than 70 cases of missing people in Nineveh, told the AP that information he obtained from the foundation and different Iraqi courts during his investigations points to Khasfa as "the largest mass grave in modern Iraqi history." Al-Asady, however, said investigators "cannot confirm yet if it is the largest mass grave" to be found in Iraq, "but according to the size of the space, we estimate it to be one of the largest." Attiyah said roughly 70% of the human remains at Khasfa are believed to belong to Iraqi army and police personnel, with other victims including Yazidis. He said he has interviewed numerous eyewitnesses from the area who saw IS fighters bring people there by bus and kill them. "Many of them were decapitated," he said. Attiyah's own uncle and cousin were police officers killed by IS, and he is among those hoping to identify and recover the remains of loved ones. Testimonies and witness statements, as well as findings from other mass graves in Nineveh, indicate that most of the military, police and other security forces personnel killed by IS are expected to be found at Khasfa, along with Yazidis from Sinjar and Shiite victims from Tal Afar, he said.

South Carolina, Ohio sending additional National Guard troops to DC as Trump escalates federal crackdown

South Carolina, Ohio sending additional National Guard troops to DC as Trump escalates federal crackdown

South Carolina and Ohio say they will send a combined 350 National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., supplementing a surge of troops from Republican-led states who are supporting President Donald Trump's push to address allegations of rampant crime and homelessness in the capital. The troops will join hundreds of National Guard troops from West Virginia in D.C. West Virginia's Republican Governor Patrick Morrisey announced Saturday he would send as many as 400 troops on the Trump administration's request. "West Virginia is proud to stand with President Trump in his effort to restore pride and beauty to our nation's capital," Morrisey said. There are expected to be some 800 members of the Washington, D.C., National Guard deployed, which puts the combined total at more than 1,500 National Guard troops. A defense official told Scripps News Wednesday National Guard troops would continue their deployment until "mission complete" — which is a fairly amorphous objective. President Trump said he will seek cooperation from Republican lawmakers to extend the Guard's deployment as he deems necessary. Guard personnel so far have appeared protecting federal locations in D.C. and supporting law enforcement as they discharge their duties. White House officials told multiple outlets this weekend that National Guard troops on assignment "may be armed" but would not be empowered to make arrests. Protesters in D.C. have staged a march to the White House, bearing signs that pushed back against the "fascist takeover of D.C." and "military occupation." RELATED STORY |Trump places DC police under federal control, activates National Guard amid crime concerns The National Guard presence supplements a tighter federal control over local police forces. President Trump signed an executive order Mondaydeclaring a crime emergencyin order to federalize the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department. "The city government's failure to maintain public order and safety has had a dire impact on the Federal Government's ability to operate efficiently to address the Nation's broader interests without fear of our workers being subjected to rampant violence," the order read. A White House official said Sunday the escalated anti-crime response has so far led to 308 arrests. But city officials have pushed back against President Trump's policies, calling them "unsettling." "My message to residents is this," Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser said. "We know that access to our democracy is tenuous. That is why you have heard me and many Washingtonians before me advocate for full statehood." Public data on crime rates also contradicts the president's narrative. Justice Department statistics show violent crime in the city is actually at a 30-year low. Data from the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C. shows violent crime is down about 26% so far this year when compared to the same time last year.

U.S. tourist attacked by a shark while spearfishing in the Bahamas

A 63-year-old American tourist was severely injured after he was attacked by a shark while spearfishing in theBahamason Sunday, local authorities said. The Royal Bahamas Police Force said in a statement shared onFacebookthat the attack happened shortly after 1 p.m. near Big Grand Cay on the island of Abaco. Officials said the man sustained severe injuries and was taken to a local clinic for medical assistance. He was then airlifted to the U.S. for additional treatment. Additional information was not immediately available. The Bahamas has one of the world's highest rates of shark attacks, although data shows they are still extremely rare. There have been just 34 confirmed attacks in the Bahamas over the last 400 years,accordingto the International Shark Attack File, a database that tracks shark encounters with humans worldwide. That tally is the ninth highest of all countries tracked. Two American tourists were injured after anapparent shark attackwhile swimming in the popular Bahamian resort area Bimini Bay in February. Bimini Bay is part of the westernmost island in the Bahamas, some 50 miles from Miami. In December 2023,a woman from Boston diedin a shark attack while paddleboarding with a family member, police said at the time. Shortly after, in January 2024,a 10-year-old boyfrom Maryland sustained a bite while participating in a shark tank expedition at another Bahamian resort. He was hospitalized for a bite on the leg, according to police.
