Trump Rules Out Withdrawing from Afghanistan
President warns Pakistan over 'safe havens' for extremists
President Donald Trump has said a hasty US withdrawal from Afghanistan would leave a vacuum for terrorists to fill. He said his original instinct was to pull US forces out, but he now wanted to avoid the mistakes made in Iraq. He also warned Pakistan that the US would no longer tolerate the country offering "safe havens" to extremists.
Spanish police have shot dead the main suspect in last Thursday's Barcelona attack, Younes Abouyaaqoub. Police believe he was the driver of a van which careered down the Las Ramblas avenue, killing 13 and injuring more than 100 others.
