The U.S. government has condemned the terrorist attack on a concert hall near Moscow in the strongest possible terms. Friday's attack was a "heinous crime," U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Saturday.

The concerns are the latest wrinkle in the White House push to get aid to the enclave’s hungry population via a floating dock. U.S. military officials have told NBC News that the first time they heard that...
