BRUSSELS (AP) — Belgium's prime minister refused to accept the resignations of his justice and interior ministers Thursday despite increasing evidence of intelligence and law enforcement failures to prevent this week's attacks by Islamic militants.
"We don't have to be proud about what happened," Justice Minister Koen Geens said of the government's failures to halt the attacks and failing to follow through on warnings from Turkey about one of the suspects. "We perhaps did things we should not have done, at the same time."
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Republican Gov. Mike Pence signed a bill into law Thursday making Indiana the second state to ban abortions because of fetal genetic abnormalities such as Down syndrome.
Pence signed the measure just hours ahead of his deadline to take action on the proposal approved by the Republican-dominated Legislature two weeks ago, the governor's office said. It takes effect in July.
