Authorities in Iraq say an American freelance journalist was kidnapped in Baghdad on Tuesday.

Shelley Kittleson is based in Rome but traveled to Iraq frequently to report for outlets including El Monitor, the BBC, and Politico.

Security video of the kidnapping shows Kittleson standing on a sidewalk when a car approaches and she's forced to get in before the vehicle speeds away.

Officials told The New York Times an Iran-backed Iraqi militia took responsibility for the kidnapping.

The Times reported that on Wednesday, the group offered to negotiate a return in exchange for releasing some of its members held by the Iraqi government.

One suspect has been arrested and the car used in the abduction was recovered.

The Times notes that this militia has been playing a role in the war with Iran.

It was reportedly responsible for several attacks on U.S.

targets in the region.

While some normalcy has returned to air travel as TSA agents receive back pay, some airports are now warning travelers not to arrive too early.

Before, massive airport lines meant travelers were arriving as early as four hours before takeoff.

Officials now say those early birds are clogging lines, causing other travelers to arrive at their gates late and worsening the situation overall.

At Ohio's John Glenn Airport in Columbus, passengers are being encouraged to arrive no more than 90 minutes before their flight.

That comes in stark contrast to other places like New York's LaGuardia, which had two-hour wait times earlier this week.

Airlines say the best way to know when you should arrive is to check TSA wait times online before leaving home.

The partial shutdown is still going on, even though TSA agents have returned for now.

But there may also be some movement on a deal soon,

Republican leadership in the House and Senate came to an agreement on a plan to end the DHS shutdown on Wednesday, one that would essentially kick the question of ICE funding down the road for another day.

And human beings are headed back to the moon.

That's the moment Artemis II, carrying four NASA astronauts, lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
