FILE - This September 2016 file photo provided by Union County Prosecutor's Office shows Ahmad Khan Rahami, who is in custody as a suspect in the weekend bombings in New York and New Jersey. The man accused in the Manhattan bombing was flagged for an interview with customs officials after returning from an overseas trip, was accused two years ago of stabbing his brother and had once been angrily described as a terrorist by his own father. But none of that was enough to keep Ahmad Khan Rahami for long on the FBI’s radar _ and it’s not at all clear it should have been. A look at the challenges involved in counterterrorism investigations. (Union County Prosecutor's Office via AP, File)

FILE - The sun sets as women visit a Yazidi shrine overlooking at Kankhe Camp for the internally displaced in Dahuk, northern Iraq, in this Wednesday, May 18, 2016 file photo. Lawyers in Europe investigating the Islamic State’s elaborate operation to kidnap thousands of women as sex slaves say they have enough evidence to try IS leaders with crimes against humanity, but two years after the IS onslaught against the Yazidi people, the Obama administration has made little effort to pursue prosecution. Current and former U.S. State Department officials say that a push for a legal finding of genocide in late 2014 was quashed by the Defense Department. (AP Photo/Maya Alleruzzo, File)

FILE – In this May 27, 2014 file photo, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, left, walks to shake hand with his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif before the start of their meeting in New Delhi, India. Even with his own officials saying the Sept. 18, 2016 attack on an Indian military base was launched by Pakistan-based militants, Modi is relying on diplomacy more than saber-rattling. In large part, this is because Modi and Indian forces already must defuse the massive and relentless anti-India protests that have swept its portion of Kashmir, triggered by the killing of a young rebel leader in July. In a speech at the U.N. General Assembly on Sept. 21, Sharif strongly criticized India's suppression of protests in Kashmir, calling for an independent inquiry into killings there and a U.N. fact-finding mission to investigate what he called India's "brutalities."
