 Indonesian forces recover body of American pilot killed in separatist attack in Papua region Indonesian security forces have recovered the body of an American pilot killed after armed separatists attacked and set fire to a small aircraft in Indonesia’s remote Papua Highlands region, military officials said.

 Norwegian Court Acquits Nigerian Midfielder Daniel Daga of Sexual Assault Charges Former Flying Eagles midfielder Daniel Daga has been cleared of sexual assault charges by Norway’s Frostating Court of Appeal, paving the way for his return to first-team action with Molde FK. The club announced the unanimous acquittal on Thursday, noting that while the judgment is not yet legally binding, Daga is now available for selection.
