Two men have been charged in Boston federal court in connection with a fatal drone strike in Jordan that killed three U.S. service members and injured dozens earlier this year. Abedini was further charged with providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization — the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The men allegedly conspired to evade U.S. sanctions and supply the Iranian government with a type of drone navigation technology used in the Jan. 28 drone attack at the Tower 22 base in Jordan, a U.S. military outpost, prosecutors said. The drone, launched by IRGC-backed militants, made impact near a shelter where some troops were sleeping and killed three U.S. service members. The two men allegedly conspired to procure goods and technology from Sadeghi’s place of work and exported them and supplied them to Iran to Abedini’s Iranian company SDRA.

"I loved that sport, but I never loved it more than academics," Huang told the Post-Intelligencer. He "worked the graveyard shift at a Portland Denny's and hung out at Paddle Palace," The Oregonian reported in 2008. Bochenski was taken with Huang's table tennis skills, calling the then-teenager "perhaps the most promising junior ever to play table tennis in the Northwest" in a letter that Sports Illustrated published in January 1978. Huang has occasionally spoken about the lessons he learned while attempting to become a table tennis champion. "Unfortunately, resilience matters in success," Huang told students at Stanford University in March.

If you're eager to save more for retirement, it's not too early to boost 401(k) plan contributions for 2025, financial experts say. For 2025, you can defer up to $23,500 into 401(k) plans, up from $23,000 in 2024. For workers age 50 and older, the 401(k) catch-up contribution remains at $7,500 for 2025. But there's a "super funding" opportunity for 401(k) catch-up contributions for a subset of savers, according to Tommy Lucas, a certified financial planner and enrolled agent at Moisand Fitzgerald Tamayo in Orlando, Florida. However, boosting contributions later could still be beneficial for savers in this age range, experts say.

CNN —A women-only art installation accused of being “discriminatory” by a disgruntled man who was denied entry is reopening Thursday having successfully fought for its legal right to exist. The Ladies Lounge, at the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) in Tasmania, Australia, was created five years ago by artist Kirsha Kaechele, the wife of the museum’s founder and owner David Walsh. The installation, complete with lavish decor and a butler serving champagne, carried on uninterrupted until Jason Lau visited Mona last year. When Lau was denied access to the Ladies Lounge on the basis of his male identity, he sued MONA for discrimination. In September the supreme court quashed the tribunal’s ruling, and MONA this week announced that the Ladies Lounge will reopen for a lap of honor from Thursday until mid-January, 2025.

CNN —Google’s newest artificial intelligence tool, “Whisk,” lets people upload photos to get back a combined, AI-generated image – even without users inputting any text to explain what they want. Google’s Whisk is an image-to-image generator, building upon the popular concept of text-to-image generators. Users can add in text if they want to direct certain details, but it is not required to create an image. Google’s Whisk is built upon the generative AI developed by DeepMind, the AI lab that Google acquired in 2014. For example, the generated image might have a different height, hairstyle or skin tone as the prompt images, Google said in a blog post.

AP —A San Francisco jury on Tuesday found a tech consultant guilty of second-degree murder in the stabbing death of Cash App founder Bob Lee. Momeni, who studies martial arts, claimed self-defense and said he didn’t realize he had fatally wounded Lee or that Lee was even hurt. Momeni was charged with murder in the first degree, but jurors could have found him guilty of murder in the second degree or manslaughter. A conviction of murder in the second degree carries a sentence of 16 years to life in this case. Lee had created mobile payment service Cash App and was the chief product officer of the cryptocurrency MobileCoin when he died.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark Reuters —Denmark released anti-whaling activist Paul Watson from detention on Tuesday and said it had rejected a Japanese request to extradite him over criminal charges dating back more than a decade. US-Canadian Watson, 74, founder of the Sea Shepherd conservationist group and the Captain Paul Watson Foundation, was released in Greenland’s capital Nuuk, police in the autonomous Danish territory said. Watson was apprehended when his ship docked in Greenland in July. “I’m certainly relieved, especially since it allows me to get home to my children before Christmas,” Paul Watson told Reuters after his release on Tuesday. Lamya Essemlali, the head of Sea Shepherd France, who has visited Watson in detention in Greenland, said the news had taken her by surprise.

Vladimir Putin has been quiet about Syria since the end of Bashir Assad's rule. During an annual televised meeting between President Vladimir Putin and Russia's top military officials on Monday, Putin was keen to keep the focus firmly on incremental successes in Ukraine. AdvertisementBut he was conspicuously silent about recent events in Syria — where longtime Kremlin ally Bashar Assad was deposed by rebels earlier this month. AdvertisementYet, with Russia's military stretched by its costly war in Ukraine, Putin appeared unwilling or unable to divert forces to save Assad. The collapse of Assad's government could have wider implications for Russia's global military footprint, which might help explain Putin's silence on the matter.

The planned investment will come from Son’s SoftBank Group, which, despite its name, is not a bank — more of a sprawling global tech investing company. Before Trump began his first term, the Japanese conglomerate committed to a $50 billion investment with grand promises of creating 50,000 new jobs. Included in that investment: a satellite startup called OneWeb, which at the time was seen as a competitor to Elon Musk’s Starlink. Bottom line: Son’s investment strategy may not always be on point, but Monday’s announcement was not a typical investment. Son is just the latest in a parade of billionaires who’ve been vying for Trump’s attention and affection.
