SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — The U.S. on Monday imposed sanctions on four ranking Bosnian Serb officials for undermining a 1995 peace agreement that ended a war that left more than 100,000 dead and millions homeless.The four officials sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury include Zeljka Cvijanovic, a Serb member of the tripartite collective Bosnian presidency, as well as the prime minister of the Serb entity in Bosnia, Radovan Viskovic.The four are alleged to have taken part in drafting a law that U.S. and other international officials say undermines the unity of Bosnia by ignoring the decisions of the country’s constitutional court.The Bosnian Serb parliament has passed the law to not recognize or implement any decisions by Bosnia’s multi-ethnic Constitutional Court. “This action threatens the stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the hard-won peace underpinned by the Dayton Peace Agreement,” said Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terror...‘Ferocious storm’: Part of GW Parkway could be closed for days, thousands in DC region still without power

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Wild signed goalie Filip Gustavsson to a three-year, $11.25 million contract on Monday, avoiding salary arbitration after his strong first season with the club.The Wild have little room left on their salary cap after accounting for Gustavsson’s $3.75 million annual average value.The 25-year-old made 37 starts last season, going 22-9-7 with three shutouts, a 2.10 goals-against average and a .931 save percentage. He had a shutout streak of 177 minutes, 13 seconds across four games from Feb. 28 to March 12, the third-longest in franchise history.Gustavsson, who is from Sweden, was acquired a year ago in a trade with Ottawa for goalie Cam Talbot. He was 2-3 in five starts in the playoffs, including a 51-save performance in a double overtime win over Dallas in Game 1 of the first-round series.___AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/NHL and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsSourceStuart Broad enjoys fitting end to career by leading England to series-tying win in final Ashes test

A heart-wrenching incident turned into a case of second chances outside a pet rescue’s doorstep in Fort Lauderdale when an anonymous person left a box containing four newborn puppies. The rescue staff made the shocking discovery on July 4. Inside the box were four tiny, defenseless puppies, left to fend for themselves. “A gentleman came up from behind me and handed me a container and when I looked down, there were four newborn puppies in the container,” said Kara Starzyk with Abandoned Pet Rescue. “He was walking away before I could even ask him any questions.”Ring surveillance video showed a black sedan parked near the pet rescue. A man is seen getting out of the vehicle with the box of puppies and trying to lure the mother out. The puppies’ mother, bearing the scars of a crude incision on her stomach, is suspected to have been exploited for breeding and then subjected to a C-section to deliver the puppies, only to be abandoned afterward.“T...Latest news
