Arkansas says it's bought drugs needed to resume lethal injections in the near future. Gov. Asa Hutchinson said Thursday he expects to be asked soon to schedule the state's first execution in 10 years. The Arkansas Department of Correction said it spent more than $24,000 to acquire the three drugs needed, including midazolam. That sedative was implicated in troubled executions in Arizona, Ohio and Oklahoma. An Arkansas law lets the Correction Department keep the name of the supplier secret over concerns about protests. -- SPA 21:57 LOCAL TIME 18:57 GMT تغريد
