WASHINGTON – Estados Unidos se está preparando para anunciar un acuerdo con México para contrarrestar el fentanilo que cruza la frontera sur, con México tomando medidas enérgicas contra los laboratorios y el contrabando, mientras que Estados Unidos hace más para detener el flujo de armas estadounidenses hacia México, dijeron a NBC dos fuentes familiarizadas con la estrategia.El ejército y la policía mexicanos, con la ayuda de las fuerzas del orden de EEUU, se centrarán en rastrear las materias primas para el fentanilo que se envía a México, encontrar y cerrar los laboratorios que fabrican el letal opioide sintético y perseguir a los actores clave en el comercio ilícito de fentanilo, según las fuentes.A cambio, el gobierno de Biden acordó controlar y rastrear más estrictamente el cruce de armas de fuego desde los EEUU hacia México.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Prosecutors said Monday that they will pursue the death penalty if a Tennessee man is convicted of first-degree murder in a daylong shooting rampage in Memphis that left three people dead and three others wounded.

Lamar Jackson says he has requested trade from Ravens

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 19:32:54 GMT

Lamar Jackson said Monday he has requested a trade from the Baltimore Ravens, saying the team “has not been interested in meeting my value.”In a series of tweets, the star quarterback said he requested a trade as of March 2. On March 7, the Ravens put the nonexclusive franchise tag on Jackson and said they were still hopeful they could reach a long-term deal with him.“As of March 2nd I requested a trade from the Ravens organization for which the Ravens has not been interested in meeting my value,” Jackson said on Twitter. “Any and everyone that’s has met me or been around me know I love the game of football and my dream is to help a team win the super bowl.”Jackson may not need a trade to join a new team. The nonexclusive franchise tag allows him to negotiate with other clubs. However, it also gives Baltimore a chance to match any agreement he makes. The decision to make the trade request public may be an attempt to deter the Ravens from matching another team’s offer — o...

KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — At least 17 people were killed by rebels in eastern Congo, local authorities said on Monday.The people were abducted while driving on a road and then killed by the CODECO militia group in Djugu territory in Ituri province over the weekend, Col. Ruphin Mapela Mviniama told The Associated Press by phone.“They attacked three vehicles and took them to Petshi, their stronghold, in the Walendu Djatsi district. The chief of the (the district) confirmed that they executed 17 people, including the drivers of the three vehicles,” he said.Since the area is controlled by rebel militias it’s hard to investigate what happened, said Mviniama.

At least 32 civilians were killed by CODECO last month, say local officials. In December, the United Nations said the insurgent group was ex...
