Boston bomber emotional as aunt breaks down on stand
Boston
bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev showed emotion in court for the first time on
Monday, wiping his eyes as a distraught aunt was removed from the
courtroom, too overcome to testify. A jury is mulling whether Tsarnaev
-- found guilty last month of all counts related to the April 15, 2013
attack on the Boston Marathon that killed three people and wounded 264
more -- should be sentenced to death or life in prison without parole.
Last week, his defense team began presenting evidence in a bid to save
his life, and had arranged for his aunt, 64-year-old Patimat
Suleimanova, to come from Russia to testify.Read More ...

Baltimore police say man's gun discharged during arrest, no injuries
Baltimore
police denied a media report on Monday they had shot a black man while
trying to take him into custody, saying the man's firearm went off
accidentally while officers were arresting him and that no one was
injured. The incident, which followed weeks of protests over the death
last month of a 25-year-old black man in police custody, drew a crowd of
about 100 protesters to a corner that was the site of a riot a week
ago. A senior Baltimore police officer on the scene told reporters that
the man had been put into an ambulance as a precautionary measure.
"Nowhere on his body does he have a gunshot wound." Fox News, which had
reported that the man had been shot while he was fleeing authorities,
apologized for what it said was an inaccurate report.Read More ...
NYPD officer shot in head dies, commissioner cites historic anti-police sentiment
By
Ellen Wulfhorst and Sebastien Malo NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York City
plainclothes police officer who was shot in the head died on Monday,
the fifth officer gunned down in as many months amid anti-law
enforcement sentiment not seen since the turbulent 1960s, Police
Commissioner Bill Bratton said. Officer Brian Moore, 25, was in an
unmarked car pursuing Demetrius Blackwell, who was wanted on a weapons
charge, when he was shot during the weekend in a residential
neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens, police said. The
shooting in New York comes amid months of mounting tensions after a
series of unarmed black men died at the hands of police officers, the
most recent in Baltimore where six officers were charged on Friday in
the death of Freddie Gray. Moore is the first New York City officer
killed in the line of duty since two uniformed officers were ambushed
last December.Read More ...
Boston bomber's brother voiced a 'rage of hatred,' court hears
By
Scott Malone BOSTON (Reuters) - Convicted Boston Marathon bomber
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's brother frightened at least one relative during a
visit to Russia in 2012 when he espoused radical Islamist beliefs, a
family member said on Monday. Several of Tsarnaev's relatives appeared
in federal court in Boston to testify at the second phase of his trial,
where a jury will determine whether Tsarnaev is sentenced to death for
killing three people and wounding 264 in the April 15, 2013, bombing
attack on Boston's best-attended sporting event. Defense attorneys have
been trying to paint the 21-year-old bomber as a secondary player in an
attack conceived and led by his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev,
who died after a gunfight with police four days after the bombing. Naida
Suleimanova, a cousin of the brothers, said she was scared when she
learned Tamerlan had adopted extremist views.Read More ...

FBI probed Texas gunman 'over jihadist sympathies'
One
of the men shot dead by police when he and an accomplice attempted to
storm an event hosted by an anti-Muslim group in Texas was investigated
by the FBI over alleged plans to wage holy war, court documents show.
Investigators were delving into the backgrounds of the two suspected
Islamist gunmen -- they were roommates, The Los Angeles Times reported
-- who opened fire with assault rifles outside Sunday's controversial
exhibit of cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed. A quick-acting Texas
policeman shot the two suspects before they were able to enter the
venue in Garland, a suburb of Dallas. There was no confirmed claim of
responsibility for the failed attack, but several US media identified
the shooters as 31-year-old Elton Simpson and 34-year-old Nadir Soofi.Read More ...
