KAMPALA, Uganda — South Sudan's leaders have amassed wealth abroad amid a conflict in which tens of thousands have been killed, a U.S.-based watchdog group said Monday, charging that the civil war is being fueled by competition among rivals over national resources such as oil.

South Sudan President Salva Kiir, former deputy Riek Machar and those close to both men have looted the country in accumulating wealth that includes mansions, luxury cars and stakes in a number of businesses abroad, according to the report by The Sentry.

The report says it has obtained documentation of officials' properties abroad.“The key catalyst of South Sudan's civil war has been competition for the grand prize — control over state assets and the country's abundant natural resources — between rival kleptocratic networks led by President Kiir and (former) Vice President Machar,” the report says.

“The leaders of South Sudan's warring parties manipulate and exploit ethnic divisions in order to drum up support for a conflict that serves the interests only of the top leaders of these two kleptocratic networks.”

The report by The Sentry, which was co-founded by actor George Clooney, says that in 2015 it began “to follow the money that has been and continues to be amassed” by networks loyal to either Kiir or Machar.

The report says the country's leaders, including some military generals, have much of their wealth in the form of high-end properties in neighboring countries such as Uganda and Kenya.

Documents show that several children of the president, including his 12-year-old son, held stakes in a number of business ventures, the new report says.

Ind. fertility doctor is accused

of impregnating eight patients

INDIANAPOLIS — A retired Indianapolis fertility doctor used his own sperm at least 50 times instead of donated sperm that his patients were expecting, impregnating at least eight women decades ago, court documents say.

Dr. Donald Cline pleaded not guilty Monday to two felony obstruction of justice charges for misleading authorities who were investigating complaints from two of the now-adult children.

The accusations were first reported by WXIN-TV in May.

The 77-year-old told six adults who believed they were his children that he had donated his own sperm about 50 times starting in the 1970s, a probable cause affidavit said. He had told his patients they were receiving sperm from medical or dental residents or medical students and that no single donor's sperm was used more than three times.

Lawmaker issues subpoena to FBI for Clinton probe records

WASHINGTON — A senior House Republican on Monday escalated the GOP's battle with the FBI over its decision not to recommend criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email system as secretary of state, serving a top FBI official with a subpoena for the investigation's full case file.

The move was carried out during a congressional hearing by Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Chaffetz and other Republicans on the panel said the FBI has withheld summaries of witness interviews and unnecessarily blacked out info from documents provided last month.

Chaffetz issued the subpoena to Jason Herring, the FBI's acting assistant director for congressional affairs.

Forces under Libyan general seize 3rd oil facility from militia

BENGHAZI, Libya — Libyan forces loyal to a powerful general say they have seized a third oil terminal from a rival militia in the east.

Military forces led by Gen. Khalifa Hifter said late Sunday that they had seized the Zueitina terminal from a militia known as the Petroleum Facilities Guards, hours after capturing the nearby terminals of Ras Lanuf and al-Sidra.

Hifter's army units urged the state-run oil corporation, which is based in Tripoli, to resume oil exports.

Hifter enjoys the support of the internationally recognized parliament, which meets in the east.

The parliament has refused to approve the formation of a U.N.-backed government in Tripoli, in the west, in part because of differences over Hifter's future role in Libya.

Trial of SS medic who served at Auschwitz begins

BERLIN — The oft-delayed trial of a former SS medic who served at the Auschwitz death camp opened Monday in Germany.

The trial of Hubert Zafke, 95, scheduled to start in February at the Neubrandenburg state court in northeastern Germany, had been postponed three times after the presiding judge determined Zafke wasn't well enough to participate, based on a doctor's assessment.

But a higher court overturned that ruling, saying that the trial could go ahead if the sessions were limited.

Zafke was pushed into court in a wheelchair and said only “yes” that he had understood as the charges against him were read.

Zafke is charged with 3,681 counts of accessory to murder for allegedly helping the Auschwitz death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland function.

Brazil ratifies Paris pact on reduction of CO2 emissions

RIO DE JANEIRO — The Brazilian government on Monday ratified its participation in the Paris Agreement on climate change, a significant step by Latin America's largest emitter of greenhouse gases that could spur other countries to move forward.

With a landmass a little bit larger than the continental United States, Brazil emits about 2.5 percent of the world's carbon dioxide and other polluting gases, according to United Nations data.

President Michel Temer said Brazil's ratification would be presented formally to the U.N. later this month.

The Paris Agreement will enter into force once 55 countries representing at least 55 percent of global emissions have formally joined it. Climate experts say that could happen later this year. Countries set their own targets for reducing emissions.

Flooding: North Korea is mobilizing to deal with a disastrous flood that killed more than 130 people, destroyed tens of thousands of homes and crippled infrastructure in its northern-most province.
