 Ann-Margret, 84, reveals ongoing pain of losing husband of 50 years: 'I miss the laughter' Ann-Margret, now 84, has spoken lovingly about her late husband Roger Smith, nearly nine years after his passing.  Despite her six-decade career in Hollywood with iconic roles in Bye Bye Birdie, Viva Las Vegas, and Carnal Knowledge, she considers her greatest achievement to be her 50-year marriage.  As she approaches her 85th birthday, she says Smith “meant everything” to her, describing their time together as joyful and full of laughter. She admits that what she misses most is his humor and the way he cared for her. The couple’s romance began years after first meeting in 1961, when Smith invited Ann-Margret to one of his performances.  Their relationship quickly deepened, and she said she knew by their third date that she would marry him.

 Al Qaeda-linked group killed at least 12 truck drivers in Mali, HRW says


Islamist militants from an al Qaeda-linked group killed 10 long-haul truck drivers and two ​teenage apprentices who were travelling through Mali's western ‌Kayes region in late January, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on Tuesday, Reuters reported.


Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) attacked a military-escorted fuel convoy ​of at least 40 trucks, the HRW ​report said.


JNIM, which mainly operates in Mali ⁠and Burkina Faso, has emerged as the region's ​strongest militant group. It aims to impose Islamic rule ​across the Sahel and extend its influence to coastal West Africa.


Malian military authorities have turned to armed escorts to ease ​a fuel supply blockade on the landlocked country imposed ​by the insurgents.


Witnesses told HRW the convoy, which was supposed ‌to ⁠supply fuel to the Kayes region, had left Senegal's capital Dakar on January 27 and crossed Mali's border the next day.


JNIM fighters captured several drivers ​who abandoned their ​trucks when ⁠the attackers opened fire, later executing 12 while releasing others, the HRW said.


Six ​drivers have been missing since the ​attack, ⁠the report said.


Mali's truck drivers union told Reuters last month that 15 drivers were captured and executed on ⁠the ​spot during the attack.
