Afghan Taliban leader in Pakistan likely killed in U.S. drone strike

Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansour, Taliban militants' new leader, is seen in this undated handout photographBy Phil Stewart and Idrees Ali WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States conducted a drone strike on Saturday against the leader of Afghan Taliban, likely killing him on the Pakistan side of the remote border region with Afghanistan in a mission authorized by U.S. President Barack Obama, officials said. The death of Mullah Akhtar Mansour, should it be confirmed, could further fracture the Taliban - an outcome that experts cautioned might make the insurgents even less likely to participate in long-stalled peace efforts. The mission, which included multiple drones, demonstrated a clear willingness by Obama to go after the Afghan Taliban leadership in Pakistan now that the insurgents control or contest more territory in Afghanistan than at any time since being ousted by a U.S.-led intervention in 2001.

Trump rallies gun owners, wins National Rifle Association endorsementLOUISVILLE, Ky. — As he seeks to unite a fractured party, Donald Trump rallied one of the Republican Party's most faithful constituencies on Friday, telling an audience of thousands of gun owners at the National Rifle Association's annual convention that he will be a faithful defender of the right to bear arms if he wins the presidency. The promise won Trump the NRA's endorsement, and the group's leaders repeatedly urged conservatives to unite behind the real estate mogul as they prepare to take on a mutual foe: likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. In what was his second appearance before the NRA membership, Trump slammed Clinton as the most "anti-gun" and "most anti-Second Amendment" candidate ever to seek the presidency.
