The machine-printed banners were purportedly signed by a faction of the Sinaloa cartel led by the sons of jailed Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. MEXICO CITY and LONDON -- Roadside banners prohibiting the production and sale of fentanyl have appeared in Mexico's northern state of Sinaloa, where the eponymous drug cartel is based.

Palestinians in Gaza spent the night in pitch darkness, surrounded by the ruins of pulverized neighborhoods JERUSALEM -- Palestinians in Gaza lined up outside bakeries on Thursday after spending the night in pitch darkness surrounded by the ruins of pulverized neighborhoods, as Israel launched new air strike s and said it was preparing for a possible ground invasion.

An Iranian teenage girl injured weeks ago in a mysterious incident on Tehran’s Metro while not wearing a headscarf has died DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — An Iranian teenage girl injured weeks ago in a mysterious incident on Tehran's Metro while not wearing a headscarf has died, state media reported Saturday.

Iran’s state -run IRNA news agency reported Geravand's death, without noting the wider unrest surrounding the headscarf law. What happened in the few seconds after Armita Geravand entered th...

Palestinian historians talk with ABC News about their culture and the long struggle for equality amid the Israel-Gaza conflict. The Palestinian people make up one of the largest refugee groups in the world, often forced off their land or pushed to flee amid ongoing co NFL ict in the region, according to the United Nations. They are state less, their identity not defined by specific borders, but rather tied together by a collective longing for a place to call home.
