July 29 , 2011 -- When Army Pfc . Naser Jason Abdo , accused of plotting planning a deadly bombing and shooting attack on soldiers at Fort Hood , made his first appearance in court in Waco , Texas , today , he yelled the name of accused Fort Hood shooter Major Nidal Hasan . Hasan is facing the death penalty for allegedly killing 13 people and wounding more than 30 in an assault on Fort Hood in November 2009 . Like Hasan , Abdo may have taken some of his inspiration from Anwar al - Awlaki , a radical American - born Islamic cleric who is among the leaders of the Yemen - based al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula ( AQAP ) . One senior U . S . official told ABC News that after Abdo was arrested at a Killeen , Texas hotel Wednesday , Abdo mentioned the name of al - Awlaki . Nidal Hasan had exchanged emails with Awlaki , according to U . S . authorities . Al - Awlaki is believed to have inspired several other terror plots in the U . S . as well , including the bungled Christmas Day underwear bombing of Northwest flight 253 . According to senior law enforcement officials , when police searched Abdo ' s hotel room , in addition to firearms , ammunition and bomb - making materials , they also found an article from a jihadi magazine produced by al - Awlaki ' s organization , al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula . The officials told ABC News Abdo had apparently stashed in the room an article from the first issue of al Qaeda ' s " Inspire " magazine called " How to Build a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom . " AQAP , a media - savvy affiliate of al Qaeda , has produced six issues of " Inspire " so far , each featuring praise for martyrs and instructional sections on firearms and explosives for the prospective terrorist . Abdo was charged Friday with the federal crime of possession of a non - registered firearm in addition to previous charges of possession of child pornography and going AWOL from his unit . As he was being led from the courtroom , he yelled out , " Nidal Hasan ! " , " Fort Hood ! " , and " 2009 ! " . READ : Soldier Arrested in Alleged Fort Hood Plot Abdo Went AWOL July 4 Abdo , a Muslim soldier who was in the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell more than 800 miles away in Kentucky , attempted to leave the military in 2010 after protesting the U . S . ' s involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan . In August 2010 he told ABC News he should not have to participate in what he called an " unjust war " . " Any Muslim who knows his religion or maybe takes into account what his religion says can find out very clearly why he should not participate in the U . S . military , " Abdo said then . READ : Devout Muslim Hopes to Avoid Deployment to Afghanistan The Army approved Abdo ' s request to be discharged as a conscientious objector , but just days later the discharge was put on hold and he was charged with having child pornography on his government - issued computer . Military investigators had been looking at Abdo ' s computer files after he made " radical statements , " law enforcement sources told ABC News . After he was told he would face a court martial , Abdo went AWOL from Fort Campbell on July 4 . Though vocal in his protestations against the mission in the Middle East , Abdo did not make any public threats against the military . But when he was discovered Wednesday , Abdo was apparently in the final planning stages of a deadly attack . He was caught in part because a wary local gun store owner called police after Abdo visited the store to buy ammunition and gunpowder . He was acting " suspicious , " Guns Galore owner Greg Ebert told ABC News . " There was clearly something wrong with him , " Ebert said . " We made a decision to call the police and fortunately it worked out . " After his arrest , Abdo admitted he planned to plant two bombs at a local restaurant frequented by Fort Hood soldiers and hoped to gun down any survivors of the dual blast , according to law enforcement documents obtained by ABC News .

LISTEN TO ARTICLE 5 : 16 SHARE THIS ARTICLE Share Tweet Post Email This past April , a number of Venezuelan military dissidents were holed up in neighboring Colombia plotting to overthrow the government of President Nicolas Maduro when they were approached by a group with similar plans . The second group , mostly civilians , wanted to assassinate Maduro and suggested joining forces . They showed videos of armed drones shipped from Miami and being tested on a Colombian farm . Maduro attends a ceremony prior to explosion on Aug . 4 . Photographer : Juan Barreto / AFP via Getty Images The military dissidents declined to participate . They found the civilians unprofessional and weren ’ t interested in killing Maduro . Their goal was to capture him and put him on trial . Two weeks ago , when Maduro was speaking at a military parade in Caracas , drones packed with plastic explosives detonated nearby in a failed assassination attempt . A participant in the April Bogota meeting said in an interview that he believes the people his group met with were the perpetrators . Infiltrated His group , which included members of all four armed - service branches , was later infiltrated by the Venezuelan security services . Several dozen were arrested , breaking up the most serious attempt to overthrow Maduro in his five years in office . The plan was called Operation Constitution . The man remains abroad . His theory about who was behind the drone attack is one of several clues emerging about the perpetrators of the Aug . 4 assault . The government also knows some things about the plotters . It says their financier is Osman Delgado , a Venezuelan living in Miami who is linked to a 2017 attack on a military base . Delgado couldn ’ t be reached for comment . The government has released audio recordings of what seem to be the attackers on the day of the assassination attempt . The recordings reveal a chaotic group bickering and scolding one another for failing to report in or not speaking loudly enough or announcing that the military ceremony being attacked was underway .

Photographer : Juan Barreto / AFP via Getty Images “ Say Something ! ” At one point , one of the alleged conspirators can be heard giving a series of instructions on how to operate the drone . Later , another demands the status of the rest of the group after one drone is airborne . “ Updates please . Say something ! Everything is quiet ! ” she is heard to say . The government appears to be using the plot to pursue political opponents who may have nothing to do with it , an approach it has used in the past . It has at times arrested opponents and accused them of sabotage as the economy and basic services have collapsed . In the past , the plots were mostly invented for political purposes ; now they ’ re increasingly real . In the past two weeks , the government has announced the arrests of two high - ranking national guardsmen , a congressman and almost a dozen other people , many younger than 30 . The Venezuelan Justice Organization , a human - rights watchdog , says there are currently about 150 servicemen and women behind bars . Soldiers in T - Shirts One group claiming responsibility for this month ’ s attempt is a network of online activists called Soldados de Franela , or Soldiers in T - Shirts , named after the way street protesters hide their faces . The escaped plotter , however , doesn ’ t think they are the people he met with in Bogota . What is clear is the depth of despair spreading across Venezuela as it descends into a lawless failed state where crime is rampant , those who can are leaving and hunger gnaws away at many of the nation ’ s remaining 30 million inhabitants . For at least a year , there have been multiple small - scale rebellions , largely unconnected . Officials say as many 34 people , including opposition leaders and former student protesters , conspired in the drone attack . The president was unharmed , but much of the country watched on live television as hundreds of soldiers scattered following the off - camera explosions , deeply embarrassing the government . Juan Requesens Source : AFP TV / AFP via Getty Images Among the detainees are a general and colonel of the national guard and the congressmen , Juan Requesens . He has been charged with attempted homicide and treason . The government has released a video of Requesens , 29 , that shows him apparently answering an interrogator and acknowledging participating in the plot . His party says he was coerced and drugged . Another video his supporters leaked shows him in a state of ruin , almost naked in what appears to be soiled underwear . 20 More Suspects Authorities are now seeking an additional 20 suspects , including a lawmaker in exile , who are at large across Latin America and in the U . S . The government has named as one of the leaders Julio Borges , the former head of Venezuela ’ s opposition - led congress , who fled to Colombia earlier this year . Borges has denied involvement and said the attacks were perpetrated from within the government ’ s own ranks . Soldiers in T - Shirts formed following a wave of anti - government unrest in 2014 . Its website and social - media accounts have been popular among demonstrators and resistance groups for updates on protests and news critical of the government . In 2017 , Soldiers in T - Shirts began disseminating messages and videos of Oscar Perez , an elite police officer who commandeered a helicopter and called upon Venezuelans to rise up against the government . Security forces killed him in January in an hours - long shootout that was , in part , broadcast across social media . One of the Soldiers in T - Shirts leaders , who gave his name as Gregory , confirmed Perez ’ s death the day of the raid in an interview with CNN en Espanol .

( Fred Thys / WBUR ) Tsarnaev called attention to himself during one prayer service earlier this year . It happened on Jan . 18 — the Friday prayers just before Dr . Martin Luther King Jr . Day . " The theme of the sermon was about great men like Dr . Martin Luther King , like the prophet , what drove them , their sense of mission , what we could learn from their lives and how we could be inspired by their example , and so when the person who was giving the sermon began to talk about King , [ Tsarnaev ] got up and objected and raised his voice , which is against the etiquette of the sermon , " Anwar Kazmi , a board member of the Islamic Society of Boston Trust , told reporters Monday in front of the small mosque on busy Prospect Street in Cambridge .

" And he seemed to understand and nothing happened after that , " Kazmi said . " He continued to come to the mosque even after the incident . " Kazmi said one man remembers a positive experience with Tsarnaev . The man ran out of gas , and Tsarnaev ran over to his apartment , got a gas can , filled it up , and brought it to the man .

French police are hunting a suspect believed to have deposited a paper bag containing a device that exploded on Friday , wounding 13 people on a busy pedestrian street in the city of Lyon . France ’ s counter - terrorism prosecutor , Remy Heitz , said an investigation has been opened for an “ attempted murder in relation with a terrorist undertaking ” and “ criminal terrorist association ” . He said no group had yet claimed responsibility for the explosion . Regional authorities said 13 people had suffered mostly minor injuries but 11 were still in hospital on Saturday morning . On Friday , the French president , Emmanuel Macron , called the explosion an “ attack ” . Heitz described video surveillance that showed the suspect heading toward the centre of Lyon by bike on Friday afternoon . The man was seen arriving on foot , pushing his bike along the pedestrian - only Victor Hugo street , then leaving a paper bag on a concrete block in the middle of the street near a bakery . French police issued this photo from CCTV showing a man wanted in connection with the explosion . Photograph : Police National / Handout / EPA The suspect immediately returned to his bike and left by the same path . One minute later , the explosion shattered the glass of a refrigerator in the bakery , Heitz said . Investigators at the scene have found screws , metallic balls , batteries , a triggering device that can be used remotely and plastic pieces that may come from the explosive device . Police issued an appeal for witnesses on Saturday with a photo of the suspect from video surveillance . They described the man as dangerous . The man was wearing a cap and sunglasses that partially hid his face . Local authorities said security has been enhanced in France ’ s third - largest city , including more police and military patrols . The Women ’ s Football World Cup is scheduled to start in France on 7 June . Lyon will host the semi - finals and then the 7 July final . After the explosion , the interior minister , Christophe Castaner , sent instructions for Lyon authorities to strengthen security for “ public sites and sporting , cultural and religious events ” . On Victor Hugo street , police removed the cordon around the explosion area and the atmosphere on Saturday was almost back to normal , with people doing their shopping – the only oddity being the chalk lines drawn by forensics on the ground . “ It was scary , ” said Gisele Sanchez , owner of a haberdashery close to the bakery . Large wood planks covered her shop window , which was damaged by the blast . Police found in her shop screws , metallic balls and batteries believed to be from the device , yet Sanchez was able to reopen on Saturday morning . France is jittery over a spate of attacks in recent years , some of them deadly , carried out by people ranging from extremist attackers to mentally unstable individuals . Five people were killed on 11 December in an attack on the Christmas market in Strasbourg , eastern France . The alleged killer , Chérif Chekatt – shot dead by police – had pledged allegiance to Islamic State .

The Tokyo District Court handed down a suspended sentence Tuesday to the man who landed a drone on the rooftop of the Prime Minister ’ s Office last April . Yasuo Yamamoto , 41 , was sentenced to two years in prison , suspended for four years . Presiding Judge Mihoko Tanabe also ordered the drone confiscated . According to the complaint , Yamamoto , a resident of Obama , Fukui Prefecture , flew the drone out of a parking lot near the Prime Minister ’ s Office in Chiyoda Ward on April 9 and intentionally landed it on the roof of the government building . The drone , equipped with flares and a container filled with radioactive soil and affixed with a radiation sticker , was discovered by officials nearly two weeks later on April 22 . Although his action did not endanger anyone , his intention to interrupt official duties at the office was clear , Tanabe said in handing down the sentence . Yamamoto had pleaded not guilty . His lawyers said he intended to challenge the Abe administration ’ s policy on nuclear energy , and that as a form of protest the move did not break any laws . Prosecutors had demanded a three - year prison term for Yamamoto as well as the confiscation of his drone . They said his actions were premeditated and clearly intended to interfere with official duties . An expressionless Yamamoto , who appeared at the court in a gray sweatshirt and sweatpants , sat with his head down as the sentence was read out . The incident ignited a heated discussion about the need for regulations for drones . In September , the government revised the Aviation Law to set the first restrictions on how to operate drones . The law , which has been in effect since December , bans drones from areas near airports and above densely populated areas , including all 23 wards in central Tokyo , unless granted government permission . Violators can face a fine of up to ¥ 500 , 000 .

Third London Attacker Named as British PM Faces Mounting Criticism LONDON — British Prime Minister Theresa May is being forced to defend her past record as the country ’ s interior minister , and the political architect of Britain ’ s counter - terror system , as more details emerge of the three attackers and what security agencies knew about them before their van - and - knife rampage Saturday in the heart of London . Ahead of Thursday ' s vote in a snap post - Brexit parliamentary election , which May called with the expectation of securing a landslide victory , the terror attack is undermining the air of dogged competence May carefully crafted as the country ' s home secretary , a post she held for six years and relinquished on becoming prime minister last year . Britain ' s Prime Minister Theresa May speaks outside 10 Downing Street after an attack on London Bridge and Borough Market left 7 people dead and dozens injured in London , June 4 , 2017 . Foreign Minister Boris Johnson conceded Tuesday that there were questions to answer about how the three militants slipped through the intelligence net . He was speaking as police named the third attacker as 22 - year - old Italian - Moroccan Youssef Zaghba , who was on an Italian watchlist and suspected of being a foreign fighter . Born in Fez , Morocco , in 1995 to an Italian mother and a Moroccan father , Zaghba was stopped by Italian police at the Bologna airport on March 15 of last year after arousing suspicions he was going to join the Islamic State terror group to fight in Syria . Italian officials say he had a one - way ticket to Istanbul and was carrying just a small backpack . His cell phone , which was seized , contained jihadist content , including pictures and videos , and he was placed on a watchlist as a suspected foreign fighter . Italian officials say they shared intelligence on him with both the British and Moroccan security agencies . Lived in Britain The last few years Zaghba lived in Britain , where he worked on and off at a restaurant and a hotel near Regents Park , traveling back and forth to visit his mother , who lives in Bologna . The naming of the third Islamic militant came after it emerged earlier Tuesday that the ringleader of Saturday ’ s attack , 27 - year - old British - Pakistani Khuram Shazad Butt worked for a man accused of helping to train the Islamic extremists responsible for the July 7 , 2005 underground train bombings in London , Britain ’ s first Islamist suicide attack . Fifty - two people were killed across Britain ’ s capital in the coordinated strike and more than 700 others were injured . This is undated three photo combo handout photo issued by the Metropolitan Police on Tuesday June 6 , 2017 of Khuram Shazad Butt , left , Rachid Redouane , centre and Youssef Zaghba who have been named as the suspects in Saturday ' s attack at London Bridge . Counterterror analysts say they are surprised that Butt remained a " low priority " for the security services despite his close connections to Sajeel Shahid , a 41 - year - old who ran an all - Muslin gym in east London and was named in a New York court case as having helped to set up weapons training in Pakistan for the July 7 suicide bombers . “ It was a blunder to have downgraded the terror threat in Britain so quickly after the Manchester bombing , ” said Olivier Guitta , managing director at GlobalStrat , a security and geopolitical risk firm . He says with election campaigning under way coinciding with Ramadan , the Muslim holy month , the chances of attacks were always high . Guitta , who has advised government in the past on counterterrorism , said , “ No one should be surprised by the terrorism wave and which is linked to a policy of laissez - faire policy toward extremists . ” The main charge leveled against May by Labour politicians and the leaders of the country ’ s smaller parties is the large cuts she introduced on funding for Britain ’ s police . Those cuts resulted in police personnel being drawn down from 2010 to 2016 by more than 20 , 000 officers . Uncertain election impact On Monday , the opposition parties received support for their criticism from an unlikely quarter . Conservative insider Steve Hilton , the policy guru of former Prime Minister David Cameron , demanded May resign over what he termed “ security failures , ” which he said led to Saturday ’ s attack and the bombing of a concert last month in Manchester . He said May should be “ resigning , not seeking re - election . ” Pollsters are wary of predicting how the terrorist attacks — three in the past 10 weeks — will impact the voting on Thursday , but Labour leaders say they have renewed hope at the very least of reducing the ruling Conservative ’ s majority as they seek to recast their campaign message in the final hours before voting as “ investment versus cuts . ” On Sunday , May promised to review Britain ' s counterterrorism strategy , holding out the prospect of enhanced powers for the security services and longer prison sentences for extremists . May said she wants to take a tougher line with internet providers and social media businesses that allow extremist material on their sites . She warned there has been “ far too much tolerance of extremism ” in Britain and promised to step up the fight against Islamist terrorism after the London Bridge attack , saying “ enough is enough . ” Video size width x height pixels Britain PM May : ' Enough is Enough ' Share this video 0 : 00 : 30 ▶ 0 : 00 : 00 / 0 : 00 : 30 ▶ ▶ Direct link 270p | 1 . 5MB 360p | 1 . 8MB 480p | 10 . 5MB British counterterror chiefs say that while Butt was investigated in 2015 , he was deemed a low risk . According to Assistant Police Commissioner Mark Rowley , he had seen “ nothing to show that a poor decision has been made ” in 2015 and that police had no evidence Butt was planning anything . Police , however , confirm they received several warnings from neighbors and associates about Butt . British police and MI5 set up in 2013 an early warning system , known as Project Danube , to help them spot when low - priority suspects might be re - engaging in violent extremism . That program appears to have failed , say critics , as it did not help them identify Khalid Masood , the militant responsible for the Westminster Bridge attack in March that killed five people . Nor did it alert them to the Manchester Arena bomber , British - Libyan Salman Abedi .

That program appears to have failed, say critics, as it did not help them identify Khalid Masood, the militant responsible for the Westminster Bridge attack in March that killed five people. Nor did it alert them to the Manchester Arena bomber, British-Libyan Salman Abedi.

Venezuela crisis : Maduro to raise fuel prices to combat smuggling Venezuela ’ s heavily subsidised domestic fuel prices should rise to international levels to avoid billions of dollars in annual losses as a result of smuggling , Nicolás Maduro has said in a televised address . " Gasoline must be sold at an international price to stop smuggling to Colombia and the Caribbean , " the president said . Like most oil - producing countries , Venezuela has for decades subsidised fuel as a benefit to consumers . But its fuel prices have remained nearly flat for years despite hyperinflation that the International Monetary Fund has projected would reach 1 million per cent this year . That means that for the price of a cup of coffee , a driver can fill the tank of a small SUV nearly 9 , 000 times . Recently , the average price of a coffee with milk was 2 . 2m bolivars , or about 50 cents , local media has reported . Smugglers do brisk business reselling fuel in neighbouring countries . Quick guide Why is Venezuela in crisis ? Show Hide Under the late Hugo Chávez , who ushered in Venezuela ’ s socialist revolution in 1999 , a new constitution and numerous elections placed nearly all government institutions under the control of the ruling Socialist party . This concentration of power was aided by a feuding opposition which carried out ineffectual campaigns and electoral boycotts . After Chávez died of cancer in 2013 , he was succeeded by Nicolás Maduro who is even less tolerant of dissent . Growing political authoritarianism has coincided with greater state dominance over the economy . But expropriations , price controls and mismanagement have led to a 40 % contraction of the economy in the past five years . Oil accounts for 96 % of Venezuela ’ s export income but many foreign companies have been driven out and production has dropped to a 30 - year low . The resulting fiscal crisis has prompted the government to print more money , which has led to hyperinflation and a collapse of the currency . It also means that the government can ’ t import enough food and medicine to meet demand . Maduro has rejected economic reforms out of loyalty to socialism and because many government officials are allegedly getting rich off the economic distortions – through exchange rate scams and by selling scarce food on the black market . Was this helpful ? Thank you for your feedback . Maduro said the government would still provide direct subsidies to citizens holding the " fatherland card " , a state - issued identification card that the government uses to provide bonuses and track use of social services . He said the subsidy was only available to those who registered their cars in a vehicle census being conducted by the state . Venezuela has dirt - cheap fuel , so why is driving nearly impossible ? Read more On Friday , the UN said that more than half a million Venezuelans had crossed into Ecuador this year as part of one of the largest mass migrations in Latin American history . About 547 , 000 citizens have entered Ecuador since January – mostly through its northern border with Colombia – to escape rampant crime and political violence , a collapsing economy and severe shortages of food and medicines . More than 1 million Venezuelans have also crossed into Colombia since the exodus began in 2015 . Others have fanned out across Latin American and Caribbean nations including Mexico , the Dominican Republic and Trindad and Tobago . Tens of thousands have hiked into Brazil down a remote Amazon road known as the Hunger Highway .

Blast also injured more than 20 people , but authorities have yet to suggest who was behind the attack At least nine people have been killed and another 24 injured in a car bombing at a Colombian police academy in Bogotá , recalling the high - profile attacks associated with the bloodiest chapters of the country ’ s guerrilla and drug conflicts . The scene outside the General Santander police academy was chaotic after the mid - morning explosion , with ambulances and helicopters rushing to the normally tightly controlled facility . Witnesses said they heard a loud explosion that destroyed windows in adjacent buildings . Pictures on social media showed a charred vehicle surrounded by debris on the academy ’ s campus . The defence ministry said at least nine people were killed and 24 injured . Among the dead were a Panamanian and an Ecuadorian national .

En breve entregaremos más información . # BogotáCondenaElTerrorismo pic . twitter . com / HBekT48yYi Rafael Trujillo said he was delivering a care package to his son Gerson , who entered the school two days ago , when he was stopped in his tracks by the blast a block away from the school ’ s heavily fortified entrance . “ I ’ m sad and very worried because I don ’ t have any information about my son , ” said Trujillo , standing outside the facility , where police officers had set up a taped perimeter . “ This reminds me of some very sad days in the past . ” President Iván Duque , who was visiting a western state , was rushing back to the capital to oversee the police investigation into what he called a “ miserable ” attack . “ All of us Colombians reject terrorism and are united in confronting it , ” Duque said in a tweet . “ We won ’ t bend in the face of violence . ” For decades , residents of Bogotá lived in fear of being caught in a bombing by leftist rebels or Pablo Escobar ’ s Medellín drug cartel . But as Colombia ’ s conflict has wound down , and the nation ’ s largest rebel group disarmed under a 2016 peace deal , security has improved and attacks have become less frequent . Facebook Twitter Pinterest Smouldering remains of car bomb are seen in this screengrab outside Bogotá police academy . Authorities have yet to suggest who was behind the attack , but attention has focused on leftist rebels from the National Liberation Army , ELN , which has been stepping up attacks on police targets in Colombia amid a standoff with the conservative Duque over how to restart stalled peace talks . Colombian rebels blamed for killing spree 400 miles inside Venezuela Read more The group known was long considered a lesser military threat than the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia ( Farc ) , whose 7 , 000 guerrilla fighters disarmed as part of a 2016 peace accord . But in the wake of the peace deal , the Cuban - inspired insurgency has been gaining strength , especially along the eastern border with Venezuela , where it has carried out a number of kidnappings and bombings of oil pipelines . That has hardened Duque ’ s resolve in refusing to resume peace talks that have been stalled since he took office last August . Thursday ’ s bombing was the deadliest in the capital since an explosion at the upmarket Andino shopping mall in June 2017 killed three people , including a French woman , and injured another 11 . Police later arrested several suspected members of a far - left urban guerrilla group called the People Revolutionary ’ s Movement for the bombing . But it has been more than a decade since a police or military installation in the capital has suffered a major bombing . A blast at military university in 2006 left almost two dozen people injured . Ariel Ávila , an analyst who tracks violence , said that in the last four years , there have been 28 attacks in the capital with explosives . While the majority has been carried out with low - grade homemade materials and grenades that have damaged property but left no casualties , he said police intelligence and checkpoints surrounding the city need to be reinforced to prevent more attacks .
