People Will Die, Reiterates Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump (left) reiterated that lives will be lost amid the unfolding war with Iran in a new cover story "Trump's War", which was published on March 05 for Time. 

Asked by correspondent Eric Cortellessa whether Americans should worry about being attacked on US soil, he acknowledged the possibility, saying, "I guess"! 

And he added: "Like I said, some people will die". When you go to war, some people will die". 

His level-setting about possible American casualties comes days after six US service members were killed in a retaliatory drone strike abroad following the joint US-Israel attack on Iran. 

And the Time cover story was released four days after three people, including the gunman, were killed and another 14 were injured in a mass shooting in Texas, USA, that is being investigated by the FBI as a potential act of terrorism. 

The 53-year-old gunman, later identified as Ndiaga Diagne (right), opened fire at Buford’s bar, near the intersection of West Sixth Street and Rio Grande Street in Austin just before 02:00 AM local time on March 01. 

According to reports from CNN, Associated Press and CBS News, he was wearing a sweatshirt that said "Property of Allah" over a shirt that had the Iranian flag on it. 

“Obviously, it’s still way too early in the process to determine an exact motivation, but there were indicators on the subject and then his vehicle that indicate a potential nexus to terrorism”, FBI San Antonio Acting Special Agent in Charge Alex Doran told the press in the aftermath.

Malaysia's women's doubles pair Pearly Tan-Thinaah Muralitharan had ambition to break their quarter-final jinx at the historic All England. 

Standing in their way were world No. 21 Febriana Dwipuji Kusuma-Meilysa Trias Puspitasari, who, on Thursday, had upset Japan's sixth seeds Rin Iwanaga-Kie Nakanishi 21-11, 18-21, 21-17.

And yesterday, the world No. 2 beat the Indonesians in straight sets 21-9, 21-18 to become the first Malaysian pair to reach the semi-finals of badminton's oldest tournament since 2007. 

Pearly-Thinaah will now aim to go one better when they face South Korea's Baek Ha Na-Lee So Hee today.
