The city sued the news organization Friday, asking a judge to intervene.

Victoria’s Secret marketing is about to look quite different. The embattled lingerie brand announced a new marketing direction on Wednesday featuring a group of faces intended to move it beyond its famous “Angel” models. One of those faces: USWNT star Megan Rapinoe.

Three teams of Delta Force operators peered through their scopes from concealed locations at Baghdad International Airport last January, waiting for their target: Qassem Soleimani, Iran’s most powerful military commander. Disguised as maintenance workers, the operators had secreted into position in old buildings or vehicles on the side of the road.
