Three Western intelligence officials from different countries have told The Associated Press that a campaign of targeted killings they blame on Russia has ramped up since Moscow’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. While Russian officials have long been accused of silencing the country’s enemies abroad, the officials say this campaign is different. The officials say Russia’s security services are now being more brazen in their choice of targets, going after Russian activists and foreign supporters of Ukraine.

Lawyers for the Southern Poverty Law Center are set to appear in federal court in Alabama. It is the first hearing since the civil rights group was accused of defrauding donors by failing to disclose that money would be paid to informants inside extremist groups. The SPLC has a long history of working to combat discrimination and racism, primarily in the Deep South. It denies wrongdoing. The group says payments to informants helped it monitor threats of violence from extremist groups and saved lives. An arraignment on charges of money laundering conspiracy, wire fraud and false statements to a bank was set for Thursday in Montgomery.
