Hard Numbers: Sikhs killed in Kabul, EU's scant medical resources, and Khashoggi's killers

20: Turkish prosecutors have charged 20 Saudi officials with the 2018 murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi, killed in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul. Turkey will proceed with a trial in absentia for the suspects after Riyadh rejected Ankara's calls to have those involved extradited to Turkey to face trial.


10%: The stockpile of medical equipment and resources available throughout the European Union will only serve about 10 percent of demand as the coronavirus continues to sweep the 27-nation bloc. A leaked EU memo warned that a lack of ventilators and personal protective equipment could impede Europe's ability to curb the virus' spread.

66: Amid coronavirus fears, 66 percent of American adults say they're less likely to travel outside of the country for the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, the travel industry fears that it could take months for business to bounce back even after the virus curve flattens.

25: Militants associated with the Islamic State stormed a Sikh temple Wednesday in Kabul, Afghanistan's capital, killing 25 people. Ongoing violence by Islamist groups in Afghanistan serves to scuttle a fresh peace deal with the US, as well as undermine Afghanistan's ability to manage a surge of coronavirus infections.
