New information is coming out about the events leading up to Islamic State taking over Ramadi, Iraq, on Sunday — including that 30 car bombs were detonated in the city center, 10 of them similar to the Oklahoma City truck bomb.

The vehicles were able to get to the city center after an armored bulldozer plowed through barricades surrounding government buildings, ABC reports, and a senior State Department official said on Wednesday the blasts took out "entire city blocks." After the bombs went off, the Iraqis deployed a reinforcement column to the city center, the official said, but they came under heavy fire and had to retreat.

Although security forces left, the official said the situation is not like what happened in Mosul, where Iraqi forces abandoned their posts and equipment; the Ramadi forces have "regrouped" and "consolidated" and are planning a counter-offensive. Catherine Garcia

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders won the Wyoming caucus Saturday, The Associated Press reports, marking his eighth win over Hillary Clinton in the last nine state contests. With about 96 percent of the results reported, Sanders led Clinton with 56 percent support to 44 percent.

Wyoming is a low-stakes state with just 14 delegates, and Clinton still holds a massive lead in delegates and superdelegates overall. Julie Kliegman

When Scandal star Kerry Washington took dance lessons in the Bronx, she had a particularly good substitute teacher named "Jennifer." She told Jimmy Fallon on Friday that one day Jennifer moved to Los Angeles to be on Living Color.

Wait a second — that means Jennifer is Jennifer Lopez. You know, from the block. Watch Washington reminisce below. Julie Kliegman

Ahead of former House Speaker Dennis Hastert's sentencing on bank fraud charges later in April, prosecutors Friday filed a memo detailing for the first time the former high school wrestling coach's alleged sexual abuse of boys.

The document included the claim that Hastert positioned a chair so that he could watch boys shower. Conan O'Brien sidekick Andy Richter, who attended Yorkville High School in the '80s, backed up the claim Saturday on Twitter.

Richter also claimed he doesn't recall anyone questioning Hastert's behavior. Julie Kliegman

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry made an unannounced stop in Afghanistan on Saturday, The Washington Post reports.

Kerry arrived in Kabul after a surprise Friday stop in Baghdad. Both Iraq and Afghanistan, which the U.S. invaded after Sept. 11, are experiencing political instability.

Kerry is set to meet with Foreign Minister Salahuddin Rabbani to discuss the relationship between their nations.

"The meeting is an opportunity for U.S. and Afghan leaders to discuss areas of mutual interest and cooperation and to outline progress in the areas highlighted in our Strategic Partnership Agreement: security and defense, democracy and governance, and social and economic development," said State Department spokesman John Kirby.

The saying "sharing is caring" apparently doesn't apply to our solar system's brightest star. Ebony editor Jamilah Lemieux tweeted this unbearably cute video Friday of her daughter's anger at the sun for having set.

The most important takeaway here, obviously, is that the sun is female. Julie Kliegman

North Korea claimed to have tested a new long-range rocket engine Saturday, The Associated Press reports. Theoretically, the move means they're closer to being capable of launching nuclear strikes on the U.S. mainland.

But there's no independent confirmation of the country's claim, and experts say the development is highly unlikely. South Korean officials claim their neighbor doesn't even have a functional intercontinental ballistic missile. Julie Kliegman

The first U.S. uterus transplant was removed March 8 due to a yeast infection, The New York Times reports the Cleveland Clinic said Friday.

The complication, which extended into an artery, was potentially life-threatening for Lindsey McFarland, who started bleeding heavily two weeks after undergoing the nine-hour procedure. Doctors hope to make uterus transplants available to women that don't have them and wish to experience childbirth. Julie Kliegman
