 Al Qaeda-linked insurgents establish check points around capital, call on Malians to rise up Al Qaeda-linked insurgents have called on Malians to ‌rise up against the military-led government and transition to Sharia law, as multiple security sources said the group had set up checkpoints around the capital and seized a northern town.

 Alabama student James Gracey, 20, found dead two days after vanishing in Barcelona


James “Jimmy” Gracey, a 20-year-old University of Alabama student, was found dead in Barcelona after disappearing during a spring break trip. 


Catalan police confirmed that divers recovered his body near Port Olympic on Thursday evening, and his family has been notified. 


Authorities believe he drowned, though an autopsy will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death. Gracey was last seen leaving the beachfront nightclub Shôko around 3 a.m. Tuesday with an unidentified person.


Investigators pieced together his final movements using witness accounts and security footage. A passerby reported seeing him head toward a rocky breakwater near the beach, where police suspect he may have fallen into the water. 


Search teams deployed boats, divers, drones, and helicopters, eventually locating his wallet floating offshore before discovering his body in shallow waters. 


While Gracey had been seen speaking with an American woman inside the club, police have not identified the person he left with, and they do not believe foul play was involved.


Gracey, originally from Elmhurst, Illinois, was a member of the Theta Chi fraternity at Alabama. His friends said they lost track of him in the crowded nightclub, and police have interviewed those he was staying with at an Airbnb. 


His family, choosing to focus on grieving together, expressed gratitude for the support they’ve received during this tragedy. 


For now, investigators continue to review footage and witness statements to clarify what happened after Gracey became separated from his group.
