Local official: 10 killed in Afghanistan suicide attack


WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Another North Carolina city is cleaning up after vandals defaced the base of a Confederate soldier statue.

Multiple media organizations reported someone spray-painted unintelligible black letters on at least two sides of the downtown Winston-Salem memorial, but did not deface the soldier portrayed atop the base. The damage was mostly removed within two hours of the incident Friday night.

Police earlier issued a statement responding to queries about a downtown Ku Klux Klan rally rumored for Saturday.

Police said they had received no requests from the white supremacist organization for a rally.

The Winston-Salem Journal reports the monument was erected in 1905 by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, which still claims ownership.

It stands at a street corner before the former county courthouse, which was converted to private apartments.

Bloober Team’s Observer is here and it’s pretty darn great . Set almost exclusively in an apartment building, the game has you explore the lives of multiple residents living within Kraków slums (AKA The Stacks). These people offer diverse stories , reactions and sometimes secrets, so I thought I’d make a handy guide to each of the occupants to help you find them all and know what you’re in for. This should be obvious, but there are light spoilers here. The guide is work in progress, so if you have any special observations and additions, let me know in the comments!
