Swiss police seized reams of a digital data from FIFA’s world headquarter in Zurich, apparently linked to the investigation into the world cup bids for 2018 and 2022 – which went to Russia and Qatar respectively.  Some of the data was reportedly taken directly from the office of embattled, outgoing FIFA president Sepp Blatter.  The world football governing body says it is cooperating fully with authorities.  US prosecutors have indicted 14 current and past FIFA officials in a massive bribery and money laundering investigation.

US President Barack Obama is sending another 450 military advisers to Iraq to help that country’s often-pathetic military take on the threat posed by Islamic State.  The troops will be deployed to the Taqaddum military base in Anbar province, where the Baghdad government is trying to mount a counter offensive to IS momentum.  Last month, the extremists seized Ramadi, the capital of Anbar.

An American citizen was killed while fighting alongside Kurdish YPG forces in northern Syria outside Kobani, the US State Department confirms.  The Kurds have been in a long, hard fight against Islamic State in the area, keeping the extremists from taking back territory liberated earlier despite getting practically no help from outside.  But Islamic State uploaded a passport picture of 36-year old Keith Thomas Broomfield of Massachusetts, suggesting that it took the document from Broomfield’s body. 

Militants with explosives attacked on of Egypt’s biggest tourists attractions, the ancient Karnak Temple in Luxor.  Four Egyptians were injured – of the three attackers, one was injured, security forces shot another, and the third exploded a suicide device.  Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi ordered increased security at key sites across the country, especially antiquities.

Rescuers in Peru managed to retrieve an Estonian climber who had fallen into a deep crevasse on Tocllaraju Mountain in the high Andes.  Gynecologist Annemai Martson was taken to hospital with two fractured ribs and symptoms of dehydration.  But the other three people in her climbing party are still missing – including Tarmo Riga, described by Estonia’s national broadcaster as the country’s best mountain climber.  All four members of the group were experienced mountaineers.

From Cape Town to Cairo, 26 African Nations signed a deal to create the continent’s largest free trade zone.  The agreement takes three existing trade blocs – the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the East African Community (EAC), and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) – and unites them into a single zone.  Member nations will now have to work on improving the state of the roads, rails, and air transport to make the idea pay off.
