A man stabbed and wounded three people in what authorities described as an “act of terror” at the train station in the Swiss city of Winterthur on Thursday before being arrested.

In recent days, he was taken to a psychiatric facility after calling the police emergency...

Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo on Thursday denied the existence of an agreement with the United States to conduct anti-drug trafficking operations on Guatemalan soil. The comments come after The New York Times reported that the Central American nation agreed to carry out joint strikes. The case is the latest in ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and Latin American governments that seek to strike a balance between bilateral cooperation to fight drug trafficking and maintaining sovereignty. “There is no agreement.

On Thursday, the lower house of parliament voted to wipe it from French law. The National Assembly voted 254-0 — a rare show of unanimity — to adopt a bill repealing Code Noir, or Black Code, the 1685 decree King Louis XIV signed to govern slaves across France’s colonies. The law turned human beings into chattel, allowing them to be worked, beaten, sold, raped and murdered. And the realization that France never formally did away with it left...

A Chinese political dissident is in South Korean custody after making a perilous escape from his country in a small rubber boat, officials and his friend said.

The coast guard sought a warrant to formally arrest him, but a local court...
