Newsfeed BRUSSELS Hopesfora deal on Greece's bailout rose on Tuesday after the prime minister said he expected an agree- ment could be reached within two weeks and the European Union re- ported a pick-up in the negotiations. Greek stocks rose and its sovereign borrow- ing rates dropped, a sign that international in- vestors are less worried about the country de- faulting on its debts in coming weeks. The European Union said Tuesday that Greece's talks with its creditors were "be- ing made more produc- tive and efficient" as the country faces a growing cash crunch. EU Commission spokeswoman Annika Breidthardt said the pace of talks has "inten- sified" since a weekend meeting of eurozone fi- nance ministers, where Greek minister Yanis Va- roufakis came under in- tense pressure from his colleagues. BAILOUT HopesforGreekdeal rise as premier, EU see progress MOSCOW Russia's space agency postponed the docking of a cargo ship with the International Space Station on Tues- day because of problems with the unmanned spacecraft. The Progress M-27M was launched Tuesday from the Baikonur Cos- modrome in Kazakh- stan and was scheduled to dock six hours later. But Roscosmos said Rus- sia's Mission Control was having trouble getting data from the spacecraft and decided to postpone the docking at least until Thursday. NASA's Mission Control later reported that a video camera on the Progress showed it to be spinning at a "rather significant rate," and the Americans informed their Russian counterparts that due to these problems Thursday would be too soon to at- tempt to dock for safety reasons. SPACE Problems delay docking of cargo ship at space station KIEV, UKRAINE Fire en- gulfed a large sector of woods in the exclu- sion zone around the de- stroyed Chernobyl nu- clear power plant Tues- day. The fire was the worst in the area for more than two decades, Ukraine's prime minis- ter said. Arseniy Yatsenyuk said the blaze was under control and had been contained to an area 20 kilometers from the plant. UKRAINE Forest fire blazes in Chernobyl off-limits zone By Michelle Faul and Haruna Umar The Associated Press MAIDUGURI,NIGERIA Nige- rian troops rescued nearly 300 girls and women dur- ing an offensive Tuesday against Boko Haram mil- itants in the northeastern Sambisa Forest, the mili- tary said, but they did not include any of the school- girls kidnapped from Chibok a year ago. The army announced the rescue on Twitter and said it was screening and inter- viewing the abducted girls and women. Troops destroyed and cleared four militant camps and rescued 200 abducted girls and 93 women "but they are not the Chibok girls," army spokesman Col. Sani Usman told The Asso- ciated Press. Nearly 300 schoolgirls were kidnapped from the northeastern town of Chibok by the Islamic ex- tremist group Boko Ha- ram in April 2014. The mil- itants took the schoolgirls in trucks into the Sambisa Forest. Dozens escaped, but 219 remain missing. The plight of the school- girls, who have become known as "the Chibok girls," aroused interna- tional outrage and a cam- paign for their release un- der the hashtag #Bring- BackOurGirls. T heir k id napping brought Boko Haram to the attention of the world, with even U.S. first lady Mi- chelle Obama becoming in- volved as she tweeted a pho- tograph of herself holding the campaign sign. Boko Haram has kid- napped an unknown num- ber of girls, women and young men to be used as sex slaves and fighters. Many have escaped or been re- leased as Boko Haram has fled a multinational offen- sive that began at the end of January. A military source who was in Sambisa told The As- sociated Press that some of the women rescued Tuesday fought back, and that Boko Haram was using armed women as human shields, putting them as their first line of defense. The Nigerian troops managed to subdue them and rounded them all up, and some said they were forced to fight for Boko Ha- ram, said the source, who spoke on condition of ano- nymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Boko Haram also has used girls and women as suicide bombers, sending them into crowded market places and elsewhere. A month ago the Nige- rian military began pound- ing the Sambisa Forest in air raids, an assault they said earlier they had been avoiding for fear of kill- ing the Chibok schoolgirls, or inciting their captors to kill them. Two weeks ago, counter- insurgency spokesman Mike Omeri said a multinational offensive that began at the end of January had driven Boko Haram from all ma- jor towns in the northeast and that Nigerian forces were concentrating on the Islamic militant strong- hold in the Sambisa Forest. Omeri said the military be- lieved that the Chibok girls might be held there. In Chibok, community leader Pogu Bitrus said townspeople were desper- ately trying to verify the identity of the freed girls and women. He said the town had learned of the rescue through social me- dia, not from the military. "We are trying to ver- ify if there are Chibok girls among them. We are work- ing hard to verify. ... All we know is this number have been rescued," he said. His comments reflected a dis- trust of the military, which has published many mis- statements about the girls and once even claimed to have rescued some, though that proved to be untrue. Unconfirmed reports over the past year had in- dicated the girls were bro- ken up into smaller groups and had been forced to con- vert to Islam and that some were "married" off to their captors. Some witnesses said they saw the girls be- ing ferried by canoe across Lake Chad and into neigh- boring Cameroon. NIGERIA Armyrescues300,nonefromChibok WALLYSANTANA—THEASSOCIATEDPRESS Rescue teams search for bodies in the collapsed Sitapyla church in Kathmandu, Nepal. By Katy Daigle The Associated Press GORKHA, NEPAL Heli- copters crisscrossed the mountains above a remote district Tuesday near the epicenter of the weekend earthquake in Nepal that killed more than 4,600 peo- ple, ferrying the injured and delivering emergency supplies. Officials said 250 villagers were feared miss- ing in a new mudslide. Two helicopters brought in eight women from Rana- chour village, two of them clutching babies and a third heavily pregnant. "There are many more injured people in my vil- lage," said Sangita Shres- tha, who was pregnant and visibly downcast as she got off the helicopter. She was quickly surrounded by Nepalese soldiers and po- licemen and ushered into a waiting van to be taken to a hospital. The little town of Gorkha, the district's ad- ministrative and trading center, is being used as a staging post to get rescu- ers and supplies to those remote communities after Saturday's magnitude-7.8 earthquake. Not far from the quake's epicenter, 250 people were feared missing after a mud- slide and avalanche on Tues- day, district official Gautam Rimal said. Heavy snow had been falling near the village, Gho- databela, and the ground may have been loosened by the quake. Rimal said offi- cials received initial reports of the disaster by phone but then lost contact. The village, about a 12- hour walk from the near- est town, is along a pop- ular trekking route, but it was not clear if the missing included trekkers. Across central Nepal, in- cluding the capital of Kath- mandu, hundreds of thou- sands of people were still living in the open without clean water or sanitation more than three days after the quake. It rained heavily in the city Tuesday, forcing people to find shelter wher- ever they could. On Tuesday night, French rescuers freed a man from the ruins of a three-story Kathmandu hotel, one of a cluster near the main bus station. The man, identified as Rishi Khanal, was con- scious and taken to a hos- pital, but no other infor- mation about him was re- leased. In Gorkha, some women who came off the helicop- ters on Tuesday were gri- macing and crying in pain and unable to walk or speak, in agony three days after being injured in the quake.

Choppers ferry injured; 250 missing a er slide NEPAL The Associated Press RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA Saudi Arabia on Tuesday announced the arrest of 93 suspects with ties to the Islamic State group who it says were planning multi-pronged attacks on the U.S. Embassy, secu- rity forces and residential compounds where foreign- ers live. The list of targets re- calls a wave of attacks launched by al-Qaida in- side the kingdom from 2004 to 2007, which killed dozens of people, includ- ing foreigners, and threat- ened the stability of one of the world's most impor- tant oil-producing nations. Saudi Arabia is also home to Islam's holiest sites, in Mecca and Medina. Interior Ministr y spokesman Maj. Gen. Man- sour al-Turki told The As- sociated Press that Saudi Arabia's security forces are better prepared than ever to fight back against the Islamic State group. The kingdom is part of a U.S.- led coalition bombing the group in Iraq and Syria. He said there have been five IS-related attacks across the kingdom in re- cent months that have killed 15 civilians and se- curity personnel. But he said Saudis have largely ig- nored the IS group's calls to take up arms against their government and at- tack the Shiite minority, security forces and for- eigners living in the king- dom. "We do have a number of people who do respond to such calls and do try to carry out such terrorist organizations' orders, but these people do not rep- resent the Saudi popula- tion, do not represent the 20 million Saudis," he said in remarks to the AP a day before the announcement of the arrests, which took place over several months. Al-Turki said the secu- rity raids included a cell of 65 people arrested in March who were involved in a plan to target residen- tial compounds and pris- ons. They also allegedly planned to carry out at- tacks aimed at creating sectarian strife. All but two in the cell were Saudi citizens. Authorities also dis- rupted a plot for a suicide car bomber to attack the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh after receiving informa- tion about the plan in mid- March, he said. Two Syr- ians and a Saudi citizen were arrested in relation to the plot. The timing of the al- leged attack coincides with a U.S. decision to halt all consular services for a week starting March 15 at the embassy and diplo- matic missions in Jiddah and Dhahran over secu- rity fears. The U.S. Embassy in Ri- yadh is located in a large and heavily guarded com- pound with other embas- sies. The embassy is sur- rounded by fortified barri- ers and guarded by police, and a U.S. Marine checks visitor passes inside. Last week, Saudi Ara- bia increased security around shopping centers and oil installations for a few days, also in response to security threats. Al-Turki said another group of nine Saudis, in- cluding one woman, were arrested on suspicion they tried to use social media to lure a military officer into a trap and assassi- nate him.
