The U.S. Justice Department is investigating explosive new allegations that a Central Intelligence Agency operative and Drug Enforcement Administration official played a role in the 1985 abduction, torture and murder of DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, a report claims. The renewed focus into the grisly killing of Camarena – who is featured in the Netflix series “Narcos: Mexico” – is based on recent statements witnesses provided to U.S. agents and prosecutors, according to USA Today. The Justice Department reportedly started re-examining the case in 2019, two years after a federal court tossed convictions against two suspects, Fox News reported. The DEA and Camarena had been utilizing a series of wiretaps to make sizeable drug busts inside Mexico. One of them cost Mexican drug lord Rafael Caro-Quintero $2.5 billion.

The United States and the Taliban have signed a peace agreement aimed at ending the 18-year war in Afghanistan, America's longest. The signing could help President Donald Trump fulfill a key campaign promise to extract America from its 'endless wars.' The deal was signed on Saturday in the Qatari capital Doha by U.S. special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad and Taliban political chief Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was on hand to witness the ceremony. Under the agreement, the U.S. will begin withdrawing thousands of troops in exchange for Taliban commitments to prevent Afghanistan from being a launchpad for terrorist attacks. If the Taliban meet their commitments, all U.S. troops would leave in 14 months.
A strip of heavy snow spanning around 150 miles in length and at most 15 miles wide in some areas was seen laid across central Kansas the National Weather Service reports. The rare weather phenomenon took shape in the early hours of Tuesday morning and bridged from northern Kansas to as far south as El Dorado in the state's southern region. Weather officials said that parts of the snowband got up to 13 inches in places like Sylvan Grove, and around nine inches about 50 miles outside of Wichita. What makes the snowband so peculiar was that outside of its path, some surrounding areas received little to no snowfall whatsoever. However, other cities like Dodge City and Great Bend received winter snow fall. As a result of the 'extremely narrow stripe,' traffic accidents and highway closures were experienced on Interstate 70 and I-135.
The German teenage national who's been dubbed the anti-Greta Thunberg defended her support of a white nationalist and took aim at 'climate alarmists' in her first appearance at the biggest annual meeting of grassroots conservatives in Maryland. Naomi Seibt, 19, when asked if she was still a fan of white nationalist Stefan Molyneux, a Canadian vlogger she called an 'inspiration,' in a YouTube video, answered she still was. 'I am still a fan absolutely'. Seibt was asked about comments Molyneux made in 2018, in which he praises white nationalism and claims Poland was 'peaceful, free, easy, civilized and safe' because it is 'essentially an all-white country.' Seibt defended the comments in response to the reporter's question, saying they only sound racist when 'taken out of context.' She also spoke to about 100 conference attendees during a panel sponsored by the Heartland Institute, an Illinois-based think tank that advocates free markets and questions climate science.
