 South Africa World Cup squad delayed after visa issues, set to depart Monday ahead of opening match in Mexico City  South Africa’s World Cup squad has delayed its departure after visa issues disrupted travel plans, with the team now set to leave Monday following last-minute efforts to resolve the problem. The national soccer body confirmed the change after the squad was originally scheduled to depart Sunday but was unable to do so because some players and support staff had not yet secured U.S. visas.

 Teen arrested after three horses injured in alleged knife attack at Las Vegas barrel racing event

 A teenage girl was arrested after three horses competing in a barrel racing event in Las Vegas were found with knife injuries, according to authorities.

Police were called around 2 a.m. Friday to a barn where horses participating in the National Barn Horse Association’s Las Vegas Super Show were being housed. Responding officers determined that three horses had sustained injuries believed to have been caused by a sharp object and that the wounds appeared to be intentionally inflicted.

The department’s Animal Cruelty Section took over the investigation, and detectives later identified a teenage girl as a suspect. Authorities said she had access to the barn and is believed to have used a knife to injure the animals.

The organization behind the event described the incident as the mistreatment of “a limited number of equine athletes by an event competitor.”

Officials said the horses’ injuries were not life-threatening, but they are unlikely to be able to compete.

Investigators located the teen at a nearby hotel and took her into custody without incident. She was booked into juvenile detention.

She faces multiple charges, including 12 counts related to willful or malicious injury to a horse and three counts of felony property destruction involving damages exceeding $5,000.

The investigation is ongoing.
