Mother of Boston Marathon bomb suspects found deeper spirituality
In this image taken from a video, an undated family photo provided by Patimat Suleimanova, the aunt of USA Boston bomb suspects, shows Anzor Tsarnaev left, Zubeidat Tsarnaev holding Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Anzor's brother Mukhammad Tsarnaev.

In a first, black voter turnout rate passes whites
In this photo taken April 23, 2013, Lauren Howie, 27, poses outside the School of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. America's blacks voted at a higher rate than other minority groups in 2012 and by most measures surpassed the white turnout for the first time.

She felt he didn't deliver on promises to help students reduce college debt, promote women's rights and address climate change, she said. But she became determined to support Obama as she compared him with Romney.

FILE - In this Tuesday March 19, 2013 file photo released by the Syrian official news agency SANA, a Syrian victim who suffered an alleged chemical attack at Khan al-Assal village according to SANA, receives treatment by doctors, at a hospital in Aleppo, Syria.
