ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A civilian interrogator who worked 20 years ago at the infamous Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq denied abusing detainees Thursday, and told jurors he was actually promoted for doing a good job. Steven Stefanowicz, who worked for military contractor CACI when he was assigned to Abu Ghraib in 2003 and 2004, has long been a key figure in the abuse scandal that emerged when photos became public showing U.S. soldiers smiling as detainees were forced into shocking poses of physical an
The Arizona Cardinals' rebuilding project is about to hit one of its most important moments. Second-year general manager Monti Ossenfort has been building toward this draft since he was hired in January 2023, and the Cardinals currently have 11 picks, including six selections in the top 90. The Cardinals finished with a 4-13 record last season, but were much more competitive after quarterback Kyler Murray returned from a torn ACL that sidelined him for roughly 11 months.

The most recent time the Los Angeles Rams made a first-round pick in the NFL draft, Sean McVay was Washington's offensive coordinator and Puka Nacua was a high school freshman. General manager Les Snead's team was nothing special at that time following 12 consecutive non-winning seasons, and the Rams decided they needed to make a big splash in Hollywood by trading up for Jared Goff.

Days after taking the stage as headliner at Coachella on Friday evening, the singer-songwriter took to Instagram to thank her team for their support and reveal that she recently recovered from laryngitis.

The San Francisco 49ers will no longer be spectators on the opening night of the NFL draft. After sitting out round one the past two years thanks to a pricey decision to trade up for quarterback Trey Lance in 2021, the 49ers will be in position to fill a hole on the roster on day one of the draft this year. San Francisco holds the 31st overall selection in the draft, as well as nine additional picks the final two days, making the opening night far more entertaining for the Niners than the past two years.

Chinese government-linked hackers have burrowed into U.S. critical infrastructure and are waiting "for just the right moment to deal a devastating blow," FBI Director Christopher Wray said on Thursday. An ongoing Chinese hacking campaign known as Volt Typhoon has successfully gained access to numerous American companies in telecommunications, energy, water and other critical sectors, with 23 pipeline operators targeted, Wray said in a speech at Vanderbilt University. China is developing the "ability to physically wreak havoc on our critical infrastructure at a time of its choosing," Wray said at the 2024 Vanderbilt Summit on Modern Conflict and Emerging Threats.
The Canadian dollar steadied against its U.S. counterpart on Thursday, with the currency unable to sustain earlier gains as recent moves in yield spreads counted against it. "It's going to have a tough pathway to appreciate meaningfully given the really wide (interest rate) spread between the U.S. and Canada," said Amo Sahota, director at Klarity FX in San Francisco. The gap between Canada's 2-year yield and the U.S. equivalent has widened to 75 basis points in favor of the U.S. note from 45 basis points at the start of the month as investors bet that the Bank of Canada would begin cutting interest rates ahead of the Federal Reserve.
TORONTO — Canada's main stock index gained just over 50 points on Thursday, helped by strength in utilities and base metals, while U.S. markets were mixed.

In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 22.
