The attack came a day after at least 10 people were killed in two separate roadside bombings and reflected a growing intensity of militant assaults after the Tal- iban warned of a renewed offen- sive this year. “Over the last five or six weeks there have been various proven attacks mainly at night by the Taliban on that base, but I think it is fair to say this is the largest we have seen thus far,” British spokesman Col.

By Michael Phillips [email protected] Kansan staff writer
Crystal Kemp will be feeling the pressure at the Women’s Fi- nal Four in Boston this week- end. The former forward won’t be playing, but rather working out alongside 40 other players at the WNBA pre-draft camp. The camp is an opportunity for scouts to take a look at Kemp before this year’s WNBA draft. Kemp and the other prospects will work out for the scouts on Monday. Tuesday night is the women’s national champion- ship game, and Wednesday will be the WNBA draft, with all events held in Boston. Because the WNBA season begins in May, players who are drafted don’t have an offseason; they just jump right in with their new teams. There are 14 teams in the WNBA, and three rounds in the draft, meaning a total of 42 play- ers will be selected. The closest WNBA team to Kansas is the Minnesota Lynx.
