German authorities have arrested two Iraqi nationals suspected of terrorism, after they were found to have fought with the Islamic State in Iraq a decade ago.

They were accused of being members of a terrorist organization abroad, but there is no evidence they were involved in planned attacks in Germany.
RWE, a German energy giant, has abandoned its offshore wind power projects in the US due to regulatory hurdles and has decided to reinvest the $1.22 billion settlement in US natural gas projects.

The drone was equipped with a federal prosecutor's explosives and a detonator, and there were indications of a mid-air collision between a plane and possibly another drone.
