Updated at 9:47 a.m. EasternKABUL Afghan officials told CBS News on Wednesday that at least 10 people, possibly including women and children, and with Pakistani nationals among them, were killed in an overnight NATO air strike in northeast Afghanistan s Kunar Province.Local governor Sayed Fazelullah Wahidi said four insurgents and 10 civilians were killed in the attack near the Pakistani border, including four women and five children.

U.S. officials have concluded that gunfire from Israeli positions likely killed Al-Jazeera journalist Shi adidas yeezy reen Abu Akleh but that there was no reason to believe her shooting was intentional, the State Department said Monday.The finding, in a statement from State Department spokesman Ned Price, came after what the U.S. said were inconclusive tests under U.S. oversight of the bullet recovered from Abu Akleh s body. It said independent, third-party examiners had conducted an extremely detailed forensic analysis. Ballistic experts determined the bullet was badly damaged, which prevented a clear conclusion as to who fired the shot, Price said in the statement.Abu Akleh, a veteran Palestinian-American correspondent who was well known throughout the Arab world, was shot and killedwhile covering an Israeli military raid on May 11 in the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. Palestinian eyewitnesses, including her crew, say Israeli troops killed her and that there were no milit asics sneaker ants in the immediate vicinity. Shireen Abu Akleh nike dunk Al Jazeera via AP Israel says she was killed during a complex battle with Palestinian militants and that only a forensic analysis of the bullet would confirm whether it was fired by an Israeli soldier or a Palestinian militant.

NE yeezy W YORK -- The American StudiesAssociation on Monday endorsed aboycott of Israeli universities, the largest group of U.S. scholars to do so.About one-third of the group s morethan 3,800 members voted, approving the boycott by 66 percent.

Of the $1.3 billion in foreign military financing that the U.S. gives each year, around half has already been handed over.
