At least 23 Iraqi troops and pro-government fighters have been killed in clashes with militants in the western province of Anbar, officials say.

A suicide bombing at a mosque in al-Jubba killed 10 anti-jihadist fighters. Militants then attacked police and army positions, killing 13, officials said.

A further 28 Iraqi troops were wounded, while militant casualties are unknown.

The incidents took place near the Ain al-Asad airbase, where US forces are currently training Iraq’s military.

The attacks were carried out on Tuesday near the town of al-Baghdadi, which is 110 miles (180 km) north-west of Baghdad.

An Israeli military court has sentenced a Palestinian man to three life terms for the abduction and murder of three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank.

Hussam Qawasmeh, a member of Hamas, must also pay $63,000 (£41,000) in compensation to the victims’ families.

Two other suspects were shot dead by Israeli forces in Hebron in September.

The teenagers’ murders in June set off an escalating cycle of violence and led to a 50-day conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza.

The leader of Hamas, the Islamist group dominant in Gaza, said in an interview in August that a Hamas cell had killed the teenagers but had not acted on instructions from above.

At least 37 people have been killed and 66 others injured by a bomb blast outside a police academy in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, police say.

Two men were seen getting out of a minibus and walking away shortly before it exploded beside dozens of people queuing to enrol at the academy.

Afterwards, body parts and debris from the bus were strewn across the street.

There has so far been no claim of responsibility, but an offshoot of al-Qaeda has carried out similar attacks.

Yemen has experienced a wave of violence in recent months, with militants from al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) battling Shia Houthi rebels who have taken control of the capital.

A teenage Honduran Aids activist who was abducted in the city of San Pedro Sula on Tuesday has been released.

Keren Dunaway Gonzalez, 18, was abandoned in a car eight hours after being seized, officials said.

Police said her captors had asked for ransom but had released her after her mother assured them the family had no money.

She came to prominence after giving an impassioned speech at the age of 12 at an international Aids conference.

Plea For Release

Ms Dunaway and her mother were abducted by three gunmen while in a parked car outside the offices of the non-governmental organisation they both run.

The NGO, called Llaves, fights for the rights of people with HIV/Aids.

Minutes later, the men released Ms Dunaway’s mother, Rosa Gonzalez, just a few blocks away, but took the young activist with them.

In a televised interview, Ms Gonzalez made an impassioned plea for the release of her daughter.

The wife of the former mayor of the Mexican city where 43 students went missing has been charged with organised crime and money laundering.

Prosecutors say Maria de los Angeles Pineda’s brothers were in a drug gang that operated in Iguala, Guerrero.

Maria Pineda and her husband Jose Luis Abarca were arrested in November.

He has been charged with organised crime, kidnapping and murder.

The students’ disappearance sparked nationwide protests and has rocked the government of President Enrique Pena Nieto.
