THIS WEEKEND By ANNE BARNARD and ERIC SCHMITT BAGHDAD — A Syrian insur- gent group at the heart of the Pentagon’s effort to fight the Is- lamic State came under intense attack on Friday from a different hard-line Islamist faction, a seri- ous blow to the Obama adminis- tration’s plans to create a reliable military force inside Syria. The American-led coalition re- sponded with airstrikes to help the American-aligned unit, known as Division 30, in fighting off the assault, according to an American military spokesman and combatants on both sides. The strikes were the first known use of coalition air power in di- rect battlefield support of fighters in Syria who were trained by the Pentagon. The attack on Friday was mounted by the Nusra Front, which is affiliated with Al Qaeda. It came a day after the Nusra Front captured two leaders and at least six fighters of Division 30, which supplied the first trainees to graduate from the Pentagon’s anti-Islamic State training pro- gram. In Washington, several current and former senior administration officials acknowledged that the attack and the abductions by the Nusra Front took American offi- cials by surprise and amounted to a significant intelligence fail- ure. While American military train- ers had gone to great lengths to protect the initial group of train- ees from attacks by Islamic State or Syrian Army forces, they did not anticipate an assault from the Nusra Front. In fact, officials said on Friday, they expected the Nusra Front to welcome Division 30 as an ally in its fight against the Islamic State. “This wasn’t supposed to hap- pen like this,” said one former senior American official, who was working closely on Syria is- sues until recently, and who spoke on the condition of ano- nymity to discuss confidential in- telligence assessments. The Nusra Front said in a statement on Friday that its aim was to eliminate Division 30 be- fore it could gain a deeper foot- hold in Syria. The Nusra Front did much the same last year when it smashed the main groups that had been trained and equipped in a different American effort, one run covertly by the C.I.A. A spokesman for the American military, Col. Patrick S. Ryder, wrote in an email statement that “we are confident that this attack will not deter Syrians from join- ing the program to fight for Syr- ia,” and added that the program “is making progress.” Division 30’s leaders expected to play a role in an ambitious new RIVAL INSURGENTS SURPRISE SYRIANS SUPPORTED BY U.S. AIRSTRIKES CALLED IN Intelligence Faulted in Blow for Unit Backed by Pentagon Continued on Page A3 ABED OMAR QUSINI/REUTERS The body of Ali Dawabsheh, 18 months, with mourners on Friday.

Firebomb Kills Palestinian Toddler in West Bank By CLAIRE CAIN MILLER Young men today have aspira- tions of being hands-on fathers as well as breadwinners — support- ive husbands who also change di- apers. But as they enter that more responsibility-filled stage of life, something changes: Their roles often become much more traditional. Millennial men — ages 18 to early 30s — have significantly more egalitarian attitudes about family, career and gender roles inside marriage than generations before them, according to a new wave of research from social sci- entists. Yet they struggle to achieve their goals once they start families. Some researchers think that’s because workplace policies have not caught up to changing expectations at home. “The majority of young men and women say they would ideal- ly like to equally share earning and caregiving with their spouse,” said Sarah Thébaud, a sociologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara. “But it’s pretty clear that we don’t have the kinds of policies and Millennial Men Aren’t the Dads Of Their Hopes Continued on Page A3 By ALEXANDER BURNS Under a dark photograph showing hypodermic needles and drug paraphernalia, the newspa- per advertisement warned in dire terms that violent criminals were coming to town. “Are these the new neighbors we want?” the paid message asked. “The St. Regis Mohawk Indian record of criminal activity is well docu- mented.” The ad, part of an advocacy campaign meant to stop a casino from being built in New York’s Catskill region, drew an indig- nant response from the tribe, which called it a naked appeal to racism. The incendiary ads, which ran in upstate newspapers in February 2000, were the work of the New York Institute for Law and Society, an opaque interest group that described itself as op- posed to casino gambling. It was only later that the man who bankrolled the ads identified himself: Donald J. Trump. Long before Mr. Trump an- nounced his bid for the Repub- lican presidential nomination, roiling the 2016 election with his pugnacious style and speeches in which he has branded many un- documented immigrants as rap- ists and murderers, he had proved himself in New York as an expert political provocateur with an instinct for racially charged rhetoric. To communities that have clashed with Mr. Trump in the past, his current strategy is en- tirely familiar.

He was 104. His family confirmed his death, of respiratory failure. Dr. Jones, who remained productive into his centenarian years, publishing his final book last fall, died at Senta- ra Heart Hospital, on the same medical grounds as the hospital in which the historic birth had oc- curred.

Working together at the Eastern Virginia Medical School in Nor- folk, they accomplished the feat when Judith Carr gave birth to Elizabeth Carr, America’s first “test-tube baby,” by cesarean section at 7:46 a.m. on Dec. 28, 1981, at what is now Sentara Nor- folk General Hospital. The birth came two days be- fore Dr. Jones’s 71st birthday and three years after Dr. Robert G.

In a rare gesture of bipartisan- ship, Mr. Bush even planned to warmly quote President Obama, usually the object of his derision. Then Hillary Rodham Clinton stomped all over those plans.

Mrs. Clinton, a Democratic candidate for president, latched onto Mr. Bush’s campaign slogan and the name of his “super PAC” —Right to Rise, his shorthand for a conservative agenda of self- reliance and hope — and turned it into a verbal spear. “People can’t rise if they can’t afford health care,” Mrs. Clinton said to applause from conven- tiongoers, a dig at Mr. Bush’s op- position to the Affordable Care Act. “They can’t rise if the mini- mum wage is too low to live on,” she said, a jab at his opposition to raising the federal minimum wage. “They can’t rise if their gover- nor makes it harder for them to get a college education,” she said, a critique of Mr. Bush’s decision as governor to eliminate affirma- tive action in college admissions.

The goal was “increased vis- ibility,” university officials say, and the roughly 10,000 students who live in apartments and row- houses off campus noticed a dif- ference. Campus officers walked them home late at night or gave them rides. “I feel like crime has gotten pushed out,” said one sen- ior, Jen Steiner, 21. But the fatal shooting of an un- armed black motorist, Samuel DuBose, by a white campus po- lice officer who now faces murder charges, is forcing officials to re- consider a policy in which the Cincinnati Police Department empowered a less racially di- verse — and, critics say, inade- quately trained — force to patrol an area far more complex than its campus home base. The Hamilton County prosecu- tor has called for the campus force to be disbanded; the uni- versity has suspended neighbor- hood patrols and is initiating a “top to bottom” review. Mayor John Cranley said he was con- cerned about the racial makeup and training of the campus force, and in an interview Friday, Chief Jeffrey Blackwell of the Cincin- nati police called for the agree- ment, signed by one of his prede- cessors, to be scrapped. “If we’re going to have one, it needs to be written in such a manner that is very restrictive in what it allows U.C. police to do in- side the confines of a large city,” Chief Blackwell said, adding, “I don’t believe their officers have the skill set to police Cincinnati with the same philosophy of fair- ness and cultural competency that my officers display.” Cincinnati has learned tough lessons since 2001, when it erupt- ed into riots over of the use of deadly force by the police against blacks. The next year, the city en- tered into a federal consent de- cree that, many here say, spawned a new era in policing, in- cluding improvements in training and a shift to less aggressive tac- tics that leaders call “problem solving.” But the decree, known as the “collaborative agreement,” Policing Plan In Cincinnati Goes Astray Call for Campus Force to Be Disbanded Continued on Page A13
