    1. Pakistanis hunt militants after blast

    Pakistani authorities on Monday hunted members of a Taliban faction*, which once declared loyalty to Islamic State, after the group claimed responsibility for an Easter suicide bomb targeting Christians that killed at least 70 people.

    At least 29 children enjoying an Easter weekend outing were among those killed when the suicide bomber struck in a busy park in the eastern city of Lahore, the power base of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

    2. Girl rescued after escaping confinement

    Japanese police have caught a 23-year-old man wanted for allegedly abducting a teenage girl who escaped and ran for freedom a day earlier after being held captive in his apartment for nearly two years.

    Police said on Monday that the girl, now aged 15, escaped from suspect Kabu Terauchi’s apartment in downtown Tokyo on Sunday while he was out shopping and called home from a pay phone. She disappeared two years ago from her hometown in Saitama, near Tokyo.

    Saitama police said the girl, whose name is withheld because she is a minor, told investigators that she escaped when her captor* forgot to lock the door from outside when he went out on Sunday to go shopping in Akihabara, known as a district for technology and comic book geeks*.

    3. IS dealt blow with death of top aide

    Islamic State (IS) will struggle to recover from the death of a top aide, reported last week in a U.S. airstrike, whose overview of the group’s finances, politics and administration was unmatched, Iraqi and U.S. sources said on Saturday.

    Abd al-Rahman Mustafa al-Qaduli, also known as Haji Iman and Abu Alaa al-Afri, was a veteran jihadist with a bounty* of US$7 million on his head.

    That was second only to the US$10 million offered for Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and accurately reflected his importance to the group.

    4. Syria forces retake Palmyra in victory

    Syrian Government forces recaptured the famed ancient city of Palmyra on Sunday in a major symbolic victory over the Islamic State (IS) jihadist group, a military source said.

    “After heavy fighting during the night, the army is in full control of Palmyra — both the ancient site and the residential neighborhoods,” the source said.

    IS fighters pulled out, retreating to the towns of Sukhnah, Raqa and Deir Ezzor to the east. “Army sappers* are in the process of defusing* dozens of bombs and mines planted inside the ancient site,” the source added.

    5. Plane parts ‘almost certainly MH370’

    Australia said on Thursday debris recovered this month in Mozambique was highly likely to be from missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, while Malaysia called for a stepped-up search of Africa’s coast for clues to the plane’s fate.

    Official analysis found two pieces of debris were “almost certainly from MH370” Australian infrastructure and transport minister, Darren Chester, said in a statement, referring to the Boeing 777 that vanished* in March 2014 with 239 people on board.

    “That such debris has been found on the east coast of Africa is consistent* with drift modeling ... and further affirms our search efforts in the southern Indian Ocean,” Chester said.

    6. Belgium identifies airport attackers

    The two men who blew themselves up at Brussels airport on March 22 were brothers known to the police and a third attacker, who is at large*, is a known Paris attacks suspect, Belgian media said on March 23.

    The suicide bombers were named as Khalid and Brahim El Bakraoui and the third man as Najim Laachraoui.

    Laachraoui’s DNA had been found in houses used by the Paris attackers last year, prosecutors said, adding that he had traveled to Hungary in September with Paris attacks prime suspect Salah Abdeslam.(SD-Agencies)
