the outgoing commander of the u.s. led war against isis says the enemy is retreating on all fronts in syria and in iraq. lieutenant general sean mcf mcfarland said numbers have been reduced to 15,000 but he did warn that isis will remain capable of committing terrorist attacks around the world despite its losses on those the night for possible victims of an explosion and fire at an apartment fire in silver spring, maryland, outside of washington d.c. part of that building collapsed. 30 people were injured. several others reported missing. the fire started just before midnight. it was fed by a natural gas line. and we have seen it time and time again. probably not a good idea to try to catch a foul ball with food in your hands. here's our latest example.
