India-Pakistan tensions flare after tourist massacre
NEW DELHI/ISLAMABAD — Relations between India and Pakistan are cratering following a deadly militant attack in Indian-administered Kashmir that has sparked tit-for-tat reprisals and raised fears of another military escalation between the nuclear-armed rivals.India and Pakistan both control parts of Kashmir but claim it in full, and have fought three wars over the mountainous territory.

Mass food poisonings cast shadow over Indonesia's free school meals
JAKARTA — Indonesia is on an ambitious mission to offer free meals to 80 million school children — but that hasn't exactly gone according to plan.Nearly 80 students across two high schools in Cianjur, south of the capital Jakarta, fell ill after eating the meals this week. Most of those who ended up in hospital have since been discharged.This is the latest in a series of food poisonings that have been linked to the program, a signature policy of President Prabowo Subianto.Authorities investigating the case say the suspected cause is negligent food preparation. Samples from the vomit of students have been sent for lab testing, and police say they have questioned people handling the food, from cooks to packers to delivery workers.A 16-year-old student told local media that the...
