| Washington – Seven new charges have been filed against Floyd Lee Corkins II, the Virginia man accused of shooting a security guard at the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., in August, including one count of committing an act of terrorism while armed. A federal grand jury Wednesday returned a superseding indictment that lists the six new charges, including attempted murder while armed, aggravated assault while armed, second-degree burglary while armed, and three counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. The decision marks the first time that a defendant has been charged with committing

But shooting up an Army Post isn't an act of terrorism?

# 1 ...silly person.
No Muslims were involved in the Family Research Council shooting... so... according to our government it is OK to charge the shooter with acts of terrorism.

Question? If a deranged, white, non-Muslim doesn't murder 13 people at work is it still workplace violence?

I'm sure the WH and the AG had nothing to do with this because it could never be terrorism to attack any place that is against abortion like thre FRC is. Next will be the Presidential pardon.

We're operating on the quota system these days, so with the glut of muslim killings lately, we'll be calling shop lifted candy bars, 'acts of terrorism' until the stats get evened out.

FTA" "...charged with committing an act of terrorism under the District of Columbia’s Anti-Terrorism Act of 2002."
It appears the charges were based on a D.C. law, not a Federal statute.

The suspect in the west-central Illinois shooting Wednesday that left six dead, including the suspect, was the nephew of the town’s mayor, MyFoxChicago.com reports. "Really shocked," Ronald Drake, the mayor of Manchester, said. "The sheriff´s department contacted me at 6:30 this morning and said they were looking for him and not to tell anybody...to keep my mouth shut until everything was completed." (Snip) Jill Osbourne says she knew the gunman. She says Smith had a 4-year-old daughter with a woman who is related to all the murder victims. She says Smith had recently accused them of hurting his daughter.

President Barack Obama has talked tough in trying to dissuade Syrian President Bashar Assad from using chemical weapons against the rebels in Syria’s civil war, warning it would be a “red line” and a “game changer.” Now, Assad has called his bluff, and Obama wants time and space to decide what comes next. The White House said in a letter to Congress on Thursday that U.S. intelligence officials believe “with varying degrees of confidence” that Assad has used the nerve agent sarin, based on the results of “physiological samples.” But the administration did not place the U.S. on the brink

Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, who now lives in Dagestan, Russia, said in an emotional telephone interview that she believes her sons, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, have been framed for the bombings. The suspects´ father, Anzor Tsarnaev, has already been interviewed by Russian and American authorities there - and will also travel to the U.S. to be interviewed by investigators.

U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice on Tuesday demanded the United Nations fire a human rights advocate who blamed the American “global domination project” for the Boston Marathon bombings. “Outraged by Richard Falk’s highly offensive Boston comments,” Rice wrote on Twitter late Tuesday. “Someone who spews such vitriol has no place at the UN. Past time for him to go.” Falk, an emeritus professor at Princeton, works for the U.N. Human Rights Council, monitoring the occupied Palestinian territories. In an essay for Foreign Policy Journal, Falk suggests attacks like the Boston bombings, which killed three and wounded more than 200,

Washington - An FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force in Boston was alerted when one of the men who later allegedly carried out the Boston Marathon bombings traveled to Russia, U.S. officials said on Wednesday in one of several disclosures that cast new light on the government´s handling of the case. The officials also said Russia, which had tipped off the FBI about its concerns over one of the men, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, in early 2011, made a second, identical request to the CIA in late September 2011. As a result, a U.S. intelligence official said, the CIA "nominated" Tsarnaev´s

The CIA asked the main U.S. counterterrorism agency to add the name of one of the suspected Boston Marathon bombers to a watch list more than a year before the attack, according to U.S. officials. The agency took the step after Russian authorities contacted officials there in the fall of 2011 and raised concerns that Tamerlan Tsarnaev — who was killed last week in a confrontation with police — was seen as an increasingly radical Islamist and could be planning to travel overseas. The CIA requested that his name be put on a database maintained by the National Counterterrorism Center.

President Obama has canceled plans to deliver a keynote address at Planned Parenthood’s annual fundraising dinner Thursday night after critics decried his high-profile role at the abortion rights group amid new concerns about the brutality of illegal forms of abortion. White House spokesman Jay Carney announced the decision to cancel the keynote speech at the gala during his daily press briefing with reporters Wednesday. He attributed the schedule change to Mr. Obama’s desire to spend more time at a memorial service in Waco, Texas, for family members of the victims of the fertilizer plant explosion.

Washington—Russian authorities contacted the US government with concerns about Tamerlan Tsarnaev not once but “multiple’’ times, including an alert it sent after he was first investigated by FBI agents in Boston, raising new questions about whether the FBI should have paid more attention to the suspected Boston Marathon bomber, US senators briefed on the inves-tigation said Tuesday. The FBI has previously said it interviewed Tsarnaev in early 2011 after it was initially contacted by the -Russians. In their review, completed in summer 2011, the bureau found no -evidence that Tsarnaev was a threat. “The FBI requested but did not

The clerk of the Natick District Court confirmed to ABC News that Zubeidat Tsarnaev, failed to appear at a court hearing on October 25, 2012 to resolve charges that she stole $1,600 worth of garments from a nearby Lord & Taylor department store.

In a journal entry in the Foreign Policy Journal entitled "A Commentary on the Marathon Murders," Falk, a self-proclaimed advocate for 9/11 conspiracy theories, asks when America will awaken from its "geopolitical fantasy," referring to the aftermath of the attack as a "darkly glamorized" scene, which he implied was largely due to Obama´s recent trip to Israel.

The Patrick administration clamped down the lid yesterday on Herald requests for details of Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s government benefits, citing the dead terror mastermind’s right to privacy. Across the board, state agencies flatly refused to provide information about the taxpayer-funded lifestyle for the 26-year-old man and his brother and accused accomplice Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19. On EBT card status or spending, state welfare spokesman Alec Loftus would only say Tamerlan Tsarnaev, his wife and 3-year-old daughter received benefits that ended in 2012. He declined further comment.

Marathon bombings mastermind Tamerlan Tsarnaev was living on taxpayer-funded state welfare benefits even as he was delving deep into the world of radical anti-American Islamism, the Herald has learned. State officials confirmed last night that Tsarnaev, slain in a raging gun battle with police last Friday, was receiving benefits along with his wife, Katherine Russell Tsarnaev, and their 3-year-old daughter. The state’s Executive Office of Health and Human Services said those benefits ended in 2012 when the couple stopped meeting income eligibility limits.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev is telling no tales. The older of the two brothers who committed the Boston Marathon bombings was likely the one who planned the attack, but when he died in a shootout with police just days after the blasts, his thoughts and motivations vanished with him. But the brain that was home to his angry mind remains, and in this case that may mean something. Tsarnaev was an amateur boxer who won the New England Golden Gloves competition as recently as 2009 and 2010. That speaks to a young man with a healthy sense

President Obama and the First Lady have come up with a crafty strategy to prevent their daughters from getting tattoos — and it banks on the girls thinking their parents are deeply uncool. “What we’ve said to the girls is, ‘If you guys ever decide you´re going to get a tattoo, then mommy and me will get the exact same tattoo. In the same place,’” Obama said with a smile. “And we´ll go on YouTube and show it off as a family tattoo.” “And our thinking is that might dissuade them from thinking that that somehow that´s

Since the Boston bombing suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was captured, there’s been quite a debate over his Miranda rights and how to treat him — given that he’s a United States citizen. An Associated Press report out this morning is sure to add fuel to the fire. As soon as he was read his Miranda rights, it says, Tsarnaev stopped talking. The report notes that Tsarnaev was read his rights 16 hours after his interrogation had began. Then, he fell silent: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev immediately stopped talking after a magistrate judge and a representative from the U.S. Attorney’s office entered his

Two unnamed U.S. officials have told the Associated Press that the surviving suspect in the Boston bombings was unarmed when police captured him hiding inside a boat in a neighborhood back yard. The report contradicts the Boston police department´s own account of Dzhokar Tsarnaev´s capture on Friday - after commissioner Ed Davies described a firefight between him and officers before the terror suspect was captured. The New York Times also said an M4 rifle had been found on the boat - another claim contradicted by the latest revelations. Officers had originally said they had exchanged gunfire

Think of it as a horizontal townhouse. Most developers hype the sky-high verticals of their new glitzy buildings, but a new condominium called The Whitman — soon to be home to former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton - has a completely different selling point: It features the longest apartments in the city. The four-unit building stretches an entire block between E. 26th and E. 27th Sts. It takes almost 30 second to walk the approximate 250-foot central corridor.
