Gunman charged in deadly Israeli Embassy shooting of two staffers could face death penalty

A maniac accused of gunning down two Israeli Embassy workers may face the death penalty, according to newly-unsealed court documents. Elias Rodriguez, 31, was charged with nine counts, including two hate crimes resulting in death charges and two of assault, in the killings of Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, 26, outside Washington DC's Capital Jewish Museum in May. Elias Rodriguez couuld face the death penalty for the deadly May shooting. Katie Kalisher via Storyful The indictment also includes notice of special findings that would allow the Justice Department to potentially pursue the death penalty, according to documents filed Wednesday in federal court in Washington. Rodriguez, who was heard shouting, 'Free Palestine,' after the shootings, was previously charged with murder of foreign officials and other crimes. The new hate crime charges — added after the case was brought before a grand jury — means prosecutors must prove Rodriguez was motivated by antisemitism when he gunned down the soon-to-be-engaged couple. Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim were killed in the shooting. Embassy of Israel Usa/UPI/Shutterstock Rodriguez flew to DC from Chicago with a handgun in his checked luggage ahead of the May 21 killings, and purchased a ticket for the event three hours before it started, authorities said in court papers.

Nearly a dozen rescued after boat starts to sink in Brooklyn

Nearly a dozen people had to be rescued when a boat started to sink Wednesday night in Brooklyn. It happened at around 9:30 p.m. at a dock near Emmons Avenue and East 26th Street in Sheepshead Bay. Police said 11 passengers were rescued from the boat after it started taking on water. The NYPD Harbor Unit and the FDNY both responded to assist. One minor injury was reported. Chopper 2 flew over the boat early Thursday morning, and it appeared to be tied up but mostly submerged in the water. It also looked like there may be a sheen of leaked oil or fuel surrounding it. At this point, it's unclear what caused the boat to sink or what the next steps will be.

A roadside bomb targeting police vehicle in northwest Pakistan kills 2 officers and wounds 14

PESHAWAR, Pakistan -- A powerful roadside bomb struck a police vehicle in a former stronghold of the Pakistani Taliban in the restive northwest of Pakistan bordering Afghanistan on Wednesday, killing at least two officers and wounding 14 others, mostly passersby, officials said. The attack took place in the city of Wana in South Waziristan, a district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, according to local police chief Adam Khan. Militant violence has surged in recent weeks, claiming the lives of dozens of security personnel. Pakistan is also preparing for a military operation in Bajur, another northwestern district, where elders are in talks with the government and insurgents to avoid violence. Previous such operations years ago displaced thousands of residents. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack on police, but suspicion is likely to fall on the Pakistani Taliban, or Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, known as TTP. The group frequently targets security forces and civilians across the region. TTP is a close ally of the Afghan Taliban, who returned to power in neighboring Afghanistan in August 2021 following the withdrawal of U.S. and NATO forces after two decades of war. Since then, many TTP fighters and leaders have found refuge in Afghanistan, with some living openly under Taliban rule — a development that has emboldened the group in Pakistan.
