US declares three IS leaders in Afghanistan 'global terrorists'

The US does not want Afghanistan to become a platform for international terrorism again.

The action - which follows a series of major attacks by the Islamic State group - makes it illegal to have any business transactions with the men, who include the group's leader, Sultan Azam. Also, Nasa launches a mission to nudge an asteroid off course, and Magdalena Andersson has become Sweden's first female prime minister.
