Adele has given birth to her first child, a son,
with boyfriend Simon Konecki. “We are all over
the moon,” a family source told People. While
many fans offered their congratulations over
Twitter, Joan Rivers took the occasion to make a
fat joke about the British singer. “Congratulations
to Adele on the birth of her 68 pound 8 ounces
bouncing baby boy,” she tweeted.
TALIBAN COMMANDER
CAPTURED
A joint Afghan-NATO operation has led
to the capture of a key Taliban
commander in northern Afghanistan,
Mullah Abdul Rahman. “He encouraged
insurgents to plant roadside bombs and
stage high-profile attacks on Afghan
officials,” Kunduz province police
spokesman Sayed Sarwar Husseini told
Reuters. Police also described Rahman
as a “shadow governor” in Kunduz
province, where insurgent violence
has escalated in recent years.
