FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

David Kelly (14 May 1944 – 17 July 2003) was a Welsh authority on biological
warfare. Appointed to the United Nations Special Commission in 1991 as a chief
weapons inspector in Iraq, he led ten of the organisation's missions. After the
publication of a dossier in 2002, which stated that Iraq could deploy chemical
and biological weapons within 45 minutes, Kelly had an off-the-record interview
with Andrew Gilligan of the BBC about the claim. Gilligan's reporting stated
that Alastair Campbell, the Downing Street director of communications, insisted
on the 45-minute claim, something which Kelly denied saying. Kelly appeared
before a parliamentary committee on 15 July 2003, and before another the next
day; he was found dead near his home the day after. Tony Blair, the prime
minister, set up an inquiry under Lord Hutton that concluded that Kelly had
killed himself. A review led by Dominic Grieve between 2010 and 2011 backed the
finding. Kelly's death has been the subject of documentaries and been
fictionalised in media works. (Full article...)

FROM TODAY'S FEATURED LIST

Stadio Olimpico, Rome, during the 2012 Coppa Italia final

There have been 75 finals in the Coppa Italia since its establishment in 1922.
The Coppa Italia is an annual football cup competition in Italy, open to all
Serie A and Serie B clubs, as well as four teams from Serie C. There have been
41 single-match finals, one of which was replayed after the initial game ended
in a goalless draw. On 30 occasions, the final two teams played two matches on a
home-and-away basis. On four occasions, a final group of four teams played a
double round-robin tournament to determine the winner. As of 2023, 16 teams have
won the competition at least once. On 11 occasions, the winning team also won
Serie A in the same season, thus making a domestic double. Inter Milan are the
only team to win Serie A, the Coppa Italia and the UEFA Champions League in the
same year, which occurred in 2010. Juventus hold the record for the most wins
(14) and most appearances in the final (21). (Full list...)

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE

The Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit is an American heavy strategic bomber featuring
low-observable stealth technology designed to penetrate dense anti-aircraft
defenses. A subsonic flying wing with a crew of two, the plane was designed by
Northrop, later Northrop Grumman, and produced from 1987 to 2000. With the
ability to drop both conventional and thermonuclear weapons, there are twenty
B-2 Spirits in service with the United States Air Force, one having been
destroyed in a 2008 crash at Andersen Air Force Base. This B-2 Spirit was
photographed in flight at an air show at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, in 2018.
