[Q]: Washington (CNN) How rich are Paul Manafort and Rick Gates, and where did they travel? That question lingered over the pair's court hearing on Monday after both faced the first indictments from Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Because both men appeared to be globe-trotting multi-millionaires and faced charges for serious crimes related to their work abroad, the government said they should be held under house arrest. A judge agreed Monday. A new court filing Tuesday showed exactly what Manafort and Gates told banks and investigators about their net worths and travel histories over the past few years.Manafort traveled to Mexico, China and Ecuador with a phone and email account registered under a fake name this yearHe has three US passports with different numbersManafort and Rick Gates were frequent travelers to Cyprus

[Q]: (CNN) After a year of mechanical breakdowns plaguing its $360 million littoral combat ships, the US Navy has announced a major overhaul of the program that will include designating the first four of the ships as testing vessels and limiting their overseas deployments to emergencies. The Navy's announcement came less than two weeks after it revealed breakdowns in two of the ships, the USS Freedom (LCS 1) and USS Coronado (LCS 4). Those followed mechanical failures in the USS Fort Worth (LCS 3) and USS Milwaukee (LCS 5), all since December. The new deployment plan for the LCS fleet isn't a response to the breakdown issues, Navy spokesman Lt. Kara Yingling told CNN.The ships have suffered four breakdowns in the past yearFirst four LCS will be turned into testing vesselsNavy expected to have 28 LCS in fleet by 2023

[Q]: (CNN) On February 9, National Intelligence Director James Clapper testified that 6,900 Westerners have traveled to Iraq and Syria to fight for foreign terrorist organizations -- an increase since the last time the United States released an official foreign fighter count. Though the number sounds alarming, it reveals less than it may seem. The official foreign fighter count cited by Clapper can only get larger and so risks stoking public fear unnecessarily. The total number of foreign fighters who have ever gone to Syria doesn't matter nearly as much as stemming the flow and reducing the current number of fighters. Recent advances and policies may have begun doing just that.Using "foreign fighter" number totals out of context can be misleading, says David StermanMedia outlets continue to use such numbers to stoke fears about ISIS and other terrorist organizations, Sterman saysSterman: The reality is much more nuanced, and in fact the West appears to be making big gains against ISIS 
 Questions:Whatever the cumulative number, the monthly rate of fighters flowing into Syria may soon drop below the death rate, which means _ and organizations like it would suffer a decline in manpower available to staff their quasistate, wage war in Syria and Iraq and conduct terrorist operations abroad. (A) CNN (B) National Intelligence (C) James Clapper (D) Westerners (E) Iraq (F) Syria (G) United States (H) Clapper (I) David Sterman (J) Media (K) ISIS (L) Sterman (M) West
