U.S. aid worker remembered as 'free spirit' with empathy for others
By
David Schwartz PRESCOTT, Ariz. (Reuters) - Kayla Mueller, the young
U.S. aid worker who died while a captive of militants of the Islamic
State group in Syria, was remembered by family and friends in her
hometown on Tuesday as a "free spirit" driven by her enormous empathy
for human suffering. The White House said Mueller's family received a
message from her captors containing information that was authenticated
by U.S. intelligence analysts who verified her death. President Barack
Obama also publicly acknowledged in an interview with the news website
Buzzfeed that Mueller was among the hostages whom U.S. commandos were
sent to rescue but failed to find in an operation he ordered last year.
Outside the county courthouse in her hometown of Prescott, Arizona, two
of Mueller's maternal aunts joined one of her childhood friends and a
local pastor to deliver a tearful tribute to the Northern Arizona
University grad.Read More ...
NYC cop said to be indicted for stairwell shooting of unarmed man
By
Jonathan Allen NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York City rookie police
officer was indicted by a grand jury on Tuesday for the fatal shooting
of an unarmed man while patrolling the darkened stairwell of a housing
project last November, local media reported. Peter Liang, the officer,
was patrolling with his partner in the Brooklyn housing project around
11:15 p.m. on Nov. 20 when his gun discharged a single bullet, killing
Akai Gurley, 28, who was in the stairwell a flight below with his
girlfriend. A spokeswoman for Kenneth Thompson, the Brooklyn district
attorney who oversaw the grand jury's secret consideration of Liang's
case, declined to comment. Mayor Bill de Blasio, who has angered many
members of his police force by expressing support for some of those
protests, released a statement reacting to the reports that the grand
jury had voted.Read More ...
Jon Stewart leaving Comedy Central's 'The Daily Show'
By Eric Kelsey and Piya Sinha-Roy LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comedian Jon Stewart, famed for his biting television satire of politicians and the media, will leave his job as host of Comedy Central's parody newscast "The Daily Show" later this year, he told his studio audience at the end of Tuesday night's episode. "It's been the honor of my professional life, and I thank you for watching it, for hate-watching it, whatever reason you are tuning in for." The announcement came after Comedy Central's other big name, former "Daily Show" contributor Stephen Colbert, ended his tenure as star of companion show "The Colbert Report" and left the network in December to succeed the retiring David Letterman as host of the "Late Show" on CBS. The New York-based "The Daily Show," which airs weeknights at 11 p.m. on the Viacom Inc-owned Comedy Central, is expected to continue, the network said, but a replacement for Stewart has yet to be named.
