WORLD IN BRIEF
toll — 57 dead and 119 wounded — under-
scored the struggles the government faces
to rein in militant assaults even in large and
well-protected urban centers.
The explosion shook the city around 10
a.m., shattering windows miles from the site of
the attack, leaving the pavement covered with
bodies and blood stains and destroying nearby
vehicles.
The bomber targeted civilians who were
registering for national identification cards,
Kabul police said. The Islamic State group
claimed responsibility for the attack in a state-
ment carried by its Aamaq news agency, say-
ing it had targeted Shiite “apostates.”
Afghan security forces have struggled
to prevent a recent surge in attacks both by
the local Islamic State affiliate as well as the
more firmly established Taliban. The attacks
increased after the United States and NATO
concluded their combat mission in Afghani-
stan at the end of 2014.

Waffle House murder
suspect remains on the
run, may be armed
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Authorities search-
ing for a man accused of killing four people at
a Waffle House fanned out through Nashville
neighborhoods and locked all but students and
staff out of schools as they mobilized in force to
find a man last seen walking away from the car-
nage, barefoot and shirtless.
Late this morning, The Tennessean reported
multiple gunshots being fired in a wooded
area several miles from there, near the Bur-
nette Chapel Church of Christ, which police are
using as a staging area for the manhunt. It was
unclear whether these shots were connected to
the search for 29-year-old Travis Reinking.
Burnette Chapel was itself the scene of an
unrelated mass shooting during a Sunday morn-
ing worship service last September in which
one person was killed and six others wounded.
Both the church and the Waffle House are in the
Antioch area of southeastern Nashville.
More than 80 Nashville police officers con-
tinued the search, joined by agents with the FBI,
the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives and troopers with the Tennessee
Highway Patrol.
Reinking was wearing only a green jacket
when he opened fire with an AR-15 in the Waf-
fle House parking lot and then stormed the
restaurant shortly after 3 a.m. Sunday, police
say. Four people were killed and four others
were injured before a quick-thinking customer
wrestled the assault weapon away, preventing
more bloodshed.
Last July, Reinking was arrested by the U.S.
Secret Service after he crossed into a restricted
area near the White House and refused to leave,
saying he wanted to meet President Donald
Trump. He was not armed at the time, but at the
FBI’s request, state police in Illinois revoked his
state firearms card and seized four guns from
him, authorities said.
The AR-15 used in the shootings was among
the firearms seized. Deputies returned the guns
to Reinking’s father on the promise that he
would keep the weapons secure and out of his
son’s possession. Reinking’s father “has now
acknowledged giving them back” to his son,
Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron said.
Pompeo facing rare
opposition from Senate
panel for secretary of state
WASHINGTON — President Donald
Trump’s nominee for secretary of state, Mike
Pompeo, is facing serious opposition before the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee, which
may not have enough votes to recommend him
for confirmation because all Democrats, and at
least one Republican, have said they will oppose
him.
The full Senate is still expected to consider
Pompeo’s nomination later this week. But the
rare rebuke expected from the panel today, even
after Pompeo’s recent visit with North Korean
leader Kim Jong Un, would be the first time in
years that a nominee for the high-level Cabinet
position did not receive a favorable committee
vote.
Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., the chairman
of the committee, blamed partisan politics for
opposition to Pompeo, now the CIA director,
saying Pompeo is just as qualified as past secre-
taries of state nominees Hillary Clinton or John
Kerry, both of whom received overwhelming
support.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Huck-
abee Sanders called on Democrats to sup-
port Pompeo today, saying on Fox News:
“at some point Democrats have to decide
whether they love this country, more than they

James Shaw Jr. shows his hand, which was injured when he disarmed a shooter
inside a Waffle House on Sunday.
‘It was life or death,’ says man
who snatched gunman’s AR-15
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The man who snatched an AR-15 rifle from a gunman at a busy
Tennessee restaurant says his was a “selfish” act of self-preservation and he doesn’t consider
himself a hero. Never mind that he is being credited with saving several other lives.
“When I grabbed the barrel of the weapon it was hot, but I didn’t care. It was life or death,”
said James Shaw Jr., a 29-year-old Nashville resident who found himself wrestling with the
suspect after four people had already been fatally shot at a Waffle House bustling with patrons
early Sunday in Nashville.
Shaw joined law enforcement officials and Nashville’s mayor at a news conference Sun-
day, some 12 hours after the shooting, his right hand bandaged. Waffle House CEO Walter
Ehmer, who was also on hand, thanked Shaw for his bravery.
“You don’t get to meet too many heroes in life,” Ehmer said before addressing Shaw, who
dabbed at tears in his eyes. “We are forever in your debt.”
Shaw said that after going to a nightclub he had decided to stop with a friend early Sun-
day at a Waffle House. The first one he visited was too crowded with overnight patrons, so he
ended up going to another in Nashville.
hate this president.”
Pompeo’s confirmation before the full Sen-
ate now hangs in balance, with the votes of just
a handful of senators determining whether he
becomes the nation’s top diplomat after Trump
fired Rex Tillerson last month.
Key Democrats, including some who had
voted for Pompeo as CIA director last year, are
peeling away, and Republican Sen. Rand Paul
of Kentucky remains opposed, despite personal
overtures from the president.
South Korea halts
propaganda broadcasts
before summit with North Afghan attacks kill 57
in bombing, then 14
SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea
halted anti-North Korea propaganda broad- police and soldiers
casts across their tense border today as offi-
cials from the two Koreas met again to work
out details of their leaders’ upcoming talks,
expected to focus on the North’s nuclear
program.
Seoul had been blasting propaganda mes-
sages and K-pop songs from border loud-
speakers since the North’s fourth nuclear test
in early 2016. The North quickly matched the
South’s action with its own border broadcasts
and launches of balloons carrying anti-South
Korea leaflets across the border.
South Korea turned off its broadcasts to
ease military tensions and establish an environ-
ment for peaceful talks, Seoul’s Defense Min-
istry said in a statement. It said Seoul hopes the
decision will lead to both sides stopping slan-
der and propaganda activities.
Yonhap news agency, citing an unidentified
government source, said that North Korea was
believed to have turned off many of its propa-

KABUL, Afghanistan — Taliban attacks
in western Afghanistan killed 14 soldiers and
policemen today as Kabul residents prepared
to bury their loved ones slain in a horrific
bombing by the Islamic State group that tar-
geted a voter registration center the day before,
killing 57.
Prayer services were held for the Kabul
victims as families of those killed in Sunday’s
bombing carried the bodies of their kin and
dug the graves at a cemetery in the hills above
the Afghan capital.
The first of today’s near-simultaneous
attacks in western Badghis province hit army
units in the district of Ab Kamari, killing nine
soldiers. Moments later, another large group of
insurgents struck police in Qadis district, kill-
ing five policemen.
The attacks came on the heels of Sunday’s
suicide blast in Kabul. The staggering casualty
LONDON — For Kate, the wait is over.
The Duchess of Cambridge gave birth today
to a healthy baby boy — a third child for Kate
and Prince William and fifth in line to the Brit-
ish throne.
The couple’s Kensington Palace office
announced news of the birth around lunchtime,
about five hours after the 36-year-old duchess
and her husband traveled by car from their
Kensington Palace home to the private Lindo
Wing of St. Mary’s Hospital in central London.
The palace said the baby prince weighed in
at eight pounds, seven ounces. Prince William
was in attendance, and the palace said mother
and child were both doing well.
Mixing tradition and modernity, the news
was announced by the palace on Twitter and
also proclaimed in the forecourt of Bucking-
ham Palace through a framed notice perched
on a golden easel. The baby is a younger
brother to 4-year-old Prince George and Prin-
cess Charlotte, who turns 3 next week. Both
were born at the same hospital, as were Wil-
liam and his younger brother, Prince Harry.
The infant’s name, which has been sub-
ject to a flurry of bets, hasn’t been announced.
Arthur and James are among bookmakers’
favorites for the new prince, whose full title
will be His Royal Highness, Prince (Name) of
Cambridge.
Monday is St. George’s Day, England’s
national day, but the baby is unlikely to be
given the name since his older brother already
has it.
Report: Autopsies show
nothing suspicious in
Avicii’s death
STOCKHOLM — Sweden’s public broad-
caster says police in Oman have conducted
two autopsies on the body of Grammy-nomi-
nated electronic dance DJ Avicii, who died Fri-
day at age 28.
Public broadcaster SVT, citing information
from an anonymous police official in Oman,
reported Sunday that the autopsies revealed
nothing suspicious and foul play has been
ruled out in the performer’s death.
The broadcaster says the body has been
cleared to be taken back to Avicii’s native Swe-
den, where he was born as Tim Bergling. Fans
in Stockholm observed a minute of silence in
his honor on Saturday.
Swedish tabloid Expressen says Avicii
stayed at the Muscat Hills Resort while vaca-
tioning in Oman. Expressen says he spent time
with friends, went kitesurfing and enjoyed the
country so much that he was planning to stay a
few extra days.

The move comes amid a recent thaw in ani-
mosities, with North Korean leader Kim Jong
Un trying to reach out to Seoul and Washing-
ton after conducting his country’s sixth and
most powerful nuclear test and three long-
range missile test launches last year.
Kim and South Korean President Moon
Jae-in are to meet at the Korean border vil-
lage of Panmunjom on Friday in the countries’
third-ever summit talks. Kim is to hold sepa-
rate talks with U.S. President Donald Trump
in May or early June in what would be the first
North Korea-U.S. summit.
