U.S. probing Islamic State claims it was behind Texas cartoon attack
By
Mark Hosenball and Ian Simpson WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S.
investigators were looking into claims by the Islamic State that it was
behind a failed attack on a Texas exhibit of cartoons of the Prophet
Mohammad in which two gunmen were killed, but officials said on Tuesday
they doubted the militant group's direct involvement. The Syria- and
Iraq-based Islamic State (IS) said on its official online radio station
that "two soldiers of the caliphate" carried out the attack on Sunday in
Garland, a suburb of Dallas.Read More ...
Elder Boston bomber was cruel, dominating, witnesses testify
By
Elizabeth Barber BOSTON (Reuters) - The older of the two brothers in
the Boston Marathon bombing was a controlling boyfriend who terrified
his future wife's friends but held great influence in his family,
witnesses testified as lawyers fought to save the younger brother's
life. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died four days after the April 15, 2013
attack that killed three people and injured 264. His younger brother,
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, last month was convicted of carrying out the attack
and could be sentenced to death. The lawyers, who at the trial's opening
in March conceded that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had committed all the crimes
of which he was accused, contend that Tamerlan was the driving force
behind the bombing, with his younger brother going along out of a sense
of sibling loyalty.Read More ...
In Baltimore, U.S. attorney general pledges to help police reform
New
U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Tuesday met with Baltimore
officials and the family of a 25-year-old black man who died of injuries
sustained in police custody last month and vowed to help the city
pursue police reform. Lynch visited Baltimore days after the city's
chief prosecutor brought criminal charges, including one murder charge,
against six officers involved in the April 12 arrest of Freddie Gray.
Gray's death was the latest in a series of unarmed black men involving
police officers across the United States and provoked weeks of largely
peaceful protests punctuated by a day of arson and looting in Baltimore
on April 27. "We lost a young man's life and it begins to represent so
many things." Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby said last Friday that
there had been no legal basis for Gray's arrest.Read More ...

Eyeing the White House again, Huckabee can’t escape lifelong anxieties about money
Eyeing
the White House again, Huckabee can’t escape lifelong anxieties about
money Mike Huckabee could add a populist edge to the Republican field.
Huckabee and a close friend from Arkansas, David Haak, who owns the
house next door, spent months combing the Gulf Coast from Texas to
Florida for the “sweet spot” where they could build homes they would
eventually retire in. Owning a house next to the ocean, he said, “was
something I had never even imagined.” His beachfront enclave, valued at
just under $3 million, is a long way from his hometown of Hope, Ark.,
where Huckabee grew up in a tiny rental house next to the railroad
tracks on the poor side of town — not far from where Hope’s other famous
son, President Bill Clinton, once lived.Read More ...
