Nigeria’s president
concedes, congratulates
Buhari on victory
ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Amid
anger over an Islamic insurgency
that has claimed thousands of lives,
Nigerians threw out the incumbent and
elected a 72-year-old former military
dictator Tuesday in a historic transfer
of power following the nation’s most
hotly contested election ever.
President Goodluck Jonathan
conceded defeat to former Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari, paving the way
for an unprecedented peaceful transfer
of power in Africa’s most populous
nation.
“Nobody’s ambition is worth the
blood of any Nigerian,” Jonathan
said in a statement in which he
congratulated his successor on his
victory. “I promised the country free
and fair elections. I have kept my
word.”
,WZLOOEHWKH¿UVWWLPHLQ1LJHULD¶V
history that an opposition party has
democratically taken control of the
country from the ruling party —
considered a sign of the West African
nation’s maturing young democracy.
Jonathan’s party has governed since
decades of military dictatorship ended
in 1999.
Celebrations erupted throughout
Buhari’s strongholds in northern
Nigeria and around his campaign
headquarters in Abuja. Cars honked
and people waved brooms in the air
— a symbol of Buhari’s campaign
promise to sweep out Nigeria’s
endemic corruption.
Iran nuclear talks push
past deadline
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP)
— With stubborn disputes unresolved,
nuclear talks between Iran and six
world powers went past a self-
imposed deadline and into overtime as
negotiators renewed efforts to hammer
out the outline of an agreement.
Enough progress had been
made to warrant the extension past
midnight Tuesday, State Department
spokeswoman Marie Harf said,
although there still were “several
GLI¿FXOWLVVXHV´WREULGJH
Secretary of State John Kerry,
who had planned to leave the talks
Tuesday, was remaining. And an
Iranian negotiator said his team could
stay “as long as necessary” to clear the
remaining hurdles.
The decision came after six days of
marathon efforts to reach a preliminary
understanding by midnight Tuesday,
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana
Gov. Mike Pence asked lawmakers
7XHVGD\WRVHQGKLPDFODUL¿FDWLRQ
of the state’s new religious-
freedom law later this week, while
Arkansas legislators passed a similar
measure, despite criticism that it is
a thinly disguised attempt to permit
discrimination against gays.
The Arkansas proposal now goes to
Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who
has said he will sign it.
Pence defended the Indiana law as
a vehicle to protect religious liberty
but said he has been meeting with
lawmakers “around the clock” to
address concerns that it would allow
businesses to deny services to gay
customers.
The governor said he does not
believe “for a minute” that lawmakers
intended “to create a license to
discriminate.”
“It certainly wasn’t my intent,” said
Pence, who signed the law last week.
Foreign adoptions by
Americans reach lowest
mark since 1982
NEW YORK (AP) — The number
of foreign children adopted by U.S.
parents dropped by 9 percent last
year to the lowest level since 1982,
according to new State Department
¿JXUHV
The department’s report for the
¿VFDO\HDUVKRZVDGRSWLRQV
from abroad, down from 7,094 in 2013
and about 74 percent below the high of
22,884 in 2004. The number has fallen
every year since then — a trend that
has dismayed many adoption advocates
in the U.S.
Trish Maskew, chief of the State
Department’s Adoption Division, said
LWZDVGLI¿FXOWWRSUHGLFWZKHQWKH
number of foreign adoptions might
start to rise again.
As usual, China accounted for the
most children adopted in the U.S., but
its total of 2,040 was far below the
peak of 7,903 in 2005.

Police shooting inquest not coming soon
PASCO (AP) — It could
be summer before a coroner’s
inquest is held in the February
police shooting death of an un-
armed Mexican migrant, a prose-
cutor in eastern Washington said.
In addition, Franklin Coun-
ty Prosecutor Shawn Sant once
again defended himself to a
Hispanic group amid calls that
he step aside and allow a special
prosecutor to take over the case.
Sant told the Washington
State Commission on Hispanic
Affairs on Friday and Conse-
jo Latino on March 12 that he
is treating the fatal shooting of
Antonio Zambrano-Montes by
WKUHH 3DVFR SROLFH RI¿FHUV WKH
same as every other homicide
investigation.
“While I provide legal ad-
vice as needed throughout the
investigation, I do not interview
witnesses, collect or test any ev-
idence as this is the job of law
enforcement,” Sant said in let-
ters to chairmen of both groups
that were acquired by The Asso-
ciated Press.
He said it could take months
EHIRUHKLVRI¿FHEHJLQVFRQVLG-
ering possible charges against
WKH WKUHH RI¿FHUV ZKR ¿UHG
bullets at Zambrano-Montes
in a busy intersection. He was
KLWDWOHDVW¿YHWLPHV=DPEUD-
no-Montes was throwing rocks
DWRI¿FHUVDQGDFWLQJHUUDWLFDOO\
authorities said. His death was
captured on a widely circulat-
ed video and sparked weeks of
protests.
Sant is awaiting reports from
the Special Investigative Unit
assigned to the case because it
LQYROYHV RI¿FHUV KH VDLG LQ DQ
email Tuesday.
³,WZLOOWDNHDWOHDVWGD\V
after receipt of all reports to pre-
pare for the coroner’s inquest,”
he said. “After the inquest we
will review whether any charges
are appropriate. We may have
reports in two or three weeks,
but no guarantee. We are also
awaiting reports on the second
and third autopsies.”
Tight schedules involving
other inquests are also a factor,
he said.
“Realistically with the
schedule of other homicide cas-
es set to go May 27 and June 24,
the inquest will likely be in July
or August time frame,” he said.
While Sant waits, the two
groups asked Gov. Jay Inslee
to force the attorney general to
appoint a special prosecutor.
Inslee said last week the coun-
ty prosecutor has a legal duty to
handle criminal offenses in the
jurisdiction and he sees no rea-
son to take Sant off the case.
