Roderick Carter,Darrius Jones

67 arrests on gang- and drug-related charges in a 24-hour period starting late Friday night, police said.
The sweep followed a week of deadly violence in Boston, during which four people were shot to death, bringing the homicide total to eight this year, quadruple the number at this time last year, police said.
"The goal of the operation is to send a clear message to criminals that gun violence will not be tolerated in our community," said Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis, reading from a statement during a press conference at police headquarters yesterday. "The roundup is focused on known gang members, many of whom are active gang members."
The sweep, conducted with the State Police, FBI, and US Marshals, also netted four firearms and various illegal drugs, including marijuana, cocaine, and heroin, police said. The individuals were arrested on outstanding warrants and range in age from 17 to 54.
They were charged with a range of crimes, including smoking in public, failure to attend jury duty, armed robbery, and illegal firearm possession, police said.
The sweep was launched hours after a 23-year-old man was shot to death Friday while eating at a Jamaican restaurant on Harvard Street in Dorchester.
The spree of homicides started late Tuesday when 16-year-old Carlos Sierra of Dorchester was shot to death on Strathcona Road.
The next day, 23-year-old Darrius Jones of Dorchester, was shot and killed in a livery car in Roslindale after leaving the funeral of a recent slaying victim. Two others were wounded in that attack.
Early Thursday, Roderick Carter, 24, of Dorchester, died after being shot in the Franklin Field housing development.
On the same day, a man described as being white and in his 30s was found stabbed to death in a three-family residence on Tuttle Street in Dorchester.
The spate of violence came during a week in which Mayor Thomas M. Menino used his State of the City address to applaud police for helping curb crime. Last year, the city had a marked decline in homicides and shootings.
The sweep was expected to continue into last night, with extra police patrols targeting high-crime areas, Davis said.
He said Boston police are "laser focused" on ridding the city of firearm violence. "We will not allow these cowards to derail our mission to reduce violence," he added.
Elaine Driscoll, a police department spokeswoman, declined to say how many additional officers would be combing Boston neighborhoods.

Arrested four police officers

Federal agents arrested four police officers just south of the border with Texas on Saturday and were investigating where they got their guns, Mexican police said.
In a joint operation, federal police and soldiers arrested the officers early Saturday morning in the city of Nuevo Laredo across the border from Laredo, Texas, said a spokesman for Mexico's Public Safety Department who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on the matter.
"The army has stepped in to investigate the origin of their weapons," he said.
Mexican radio station Formato 21 said the officers had guns that weren't registered with their unit in the border state of Tamaulipas.
It wasn't immediately clear if the four officers were being investigated for corruption, which is widespread in Mexico, particularly in states like Tamaulipas plagued by organized crime.

Johan Nel

Johan Nel, 18, was escorted into the building amid heavy security, remanded in custody for a week, and then driven back to prison.
The multiple shooting happened at the Skielik shanty town, about two miles from the family's chicken farm at Tweefontein in the rural North West province.
A man reportedly entered the township with a rifle and walked among the houses, shooting as he went. Some have claimed he said "Kaffir, Kaffir, Kaffir" as he fired.
Moses Clifton, 68, lost his daughter and grandchild in the multiple killing, in which several people were also injured.
"The child and the mother ran out of the house and the boy walked down the road and shot them," he said.
"I hid behind the house with my back against the wall and I heard him reloading his gun. I stayed at the corner watching and then I saw the mother and the child dead in the road.
"I was at court this morning to see this man. My heart is breaking. My child and my grandchild died. He must hang."
Corrie Nel, mother of the accused, insisted that her son was not racist.
"If you knew him, you would know that he did not act rationally," she told the Afrikaans newspaper Beeld.
He had told her: "Mom, something snapped inside me," she added.
Five years ago, aged 14, Nel was convicted of shooting and wounding another black man, who was working as a grass-cutter. His family say he was attacked with a sickle, and had been traumatised by their experiences of crime over the years.
According to some reports his defence at the time was that he mistook the man for a baboon.

Todd Tornstrom

Todd Tornstrom, 35, was arrested Thursday night shortly after the pilot of the flight from Columbus to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., decided to turn around and land at Port Columbus International Airport.
Tornstrom and a female passenger were disruptive and appeared to have been drinking, said airport spokeswoman Angie Tabor.
When asked by a flight attendant to stow a carry-on baggage, Tornstrom claimed he was a Transportation Security Administration agent and that he had a gun, the FBI said in a statement. The pilot decided to return to Columbus after Tornstrom couldn’t produce a TSA identification badge. The plane had 134 passengers.
The FBI also said Tornstrom was overheard by a flight attendant telling passengers that he was carrying “enough bullets for everyone on the plane.”
The plane was searched and no gun was found. All passengers were re-screened by security and the flight took off again just after midnight.
Tornstrom, of Chesterland, Ohio, was charged with interference with flight crew members and attendants. He appeared in federal court Friday and was released on the condition that he not abuse alcohol and not fly on commercial planes, said Fred Alverson, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office. No plea was entered. A hearing was scheduled for Feb. 7.
If convicted, Tornstrom could face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Scott Poirier

The jury heard a taped interview in which the Lewiston man confessed to police that he fatally shot his father as he sat at the head of his dining table during his 65th birthday party.
more stories like thisOn a notepad, Poirier sketched his parents' house in Lewiston and showed how he stood by the pool on Nov. 8, 2006, and aimed his rifle through a window of French doors.
Poirier maintains that Roland Poirier molested him when he was a teenager. The defense is attempting to show that the defendant was not criminally responsible for the shooting by calling into question his state of mind when he pulled the trigger.
The trial resumes Tuesday in Androscoggin County Superior Court.

Hrant Dink

Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink to be brought to justice, a year after he was gunned down in a murder which shocked Turkey.
An ultra-nationalist gunman shot Dink outside his office in Istanbul on Jan 19, 2007. The subsequent investigation has triggered claims police failed to act on warnings his life was in danger.
Amid tight police security and mournful music, people laid red carnations at the spot in central Istanbul where he was killed. A huge photograph of Dink was hung from the office of his Armenian newspaper Agos for the commemoration ceremony.
"We are at the pavement where they tried to clean his blood with soap," Dink's wife Rakel said in an emotionally-charged speech from the office balcony. "You are here for justice today. A scream for justice rises from your silence."
Ankara has vowed to prosecute all those responsible for Dink's killing. Nineteen suspects are on trial. The next hearing is on Feb. 11.
Amnesty International urged Turkey on Friday to widen the investigation into his death and the media called for the alleged complicity of security officials to be fully probed.
"The killer state will be called to account," many in the crowd of several thousand chanted.
"For Hrant, For Justice," said black-and-white placards, in Turkish, Armenian and other languages, held aloft by the crowd as they marked a minute's silence at the moment he was shot.

Aitezaz Shah

Aitezaz Shah, was arrested from the northwestern city of Dera Ismail Khan on Friday while planning a suicide bombing over the Muslim festival of Ashura, they said on condition of anonymity.
Shah told interrogators he had been part of a back-up team of three bombers who were tasked with killing former premier Bhutto if the original December 27 attack by two men had failed, the officials added.
Interior ministry spokesman Iqbal Cheema did not confirm the arrest.
"It is not in my knowledge so far," Cheema told AFP.
Bhutto was assassinated in a gun and suicide bomb attack at an election rally in Rawalpindi. Pakistan's government and the CIA have blamed Al-Qaeda and tribal warlord Baitullah Mehsud for her killing.
Shah, originally from the southern city of Karachi, went for training last year at a camp run by one of Mehsud's commanders in the tribal border region of Waziristan, the security officials quoted him as telling investigators.
He allegedly said the attackers in the team that killed Bhutto were called Bilal and Ikramullah -- the same names mentioned in an alleged telephone conversation between Mehsud and another militant the day after Bhutto's death.
The tape was released the day after her killing by Pakistan's interior ministry.
Shah's whereabouts at the time of the attack were not immediately clear. One security official said he was in Rawalpindi, the city where Bhutto was killed, while another said he was in the tribal area of Waziristan.
"The suspect was not in Rawalpindi at the time of attack on Bhutto. The boy told interrogators that he was in South Waziristan," a top police official quoted him as telling the interrogators.
One of the officials said Shah was arrested during a security check when he arrived in Dera Ismail Khan by taxi from the North Waziristan tribal area, which borders Afghanistan.
He allegedly told officials that he came to collect a suicide jacket for an attack at the US consulate in Karachi but the programme was changed because of tight security for Ashura, which takes place on Sunday.
Instead he was ordered to launch an attack during an Ashura procession by the minority Shiite sect on Sunday, the officials said.
A spokesman for Taliban militants in Pakistan rejected the allegations, saying that the boy arrested in Dera Ismail Khan had no link with the group.
"We are not involved in the attack and this information is meant to defame us," the spokesman Mohammad Omar said in telephone calls to reporters in Peshawar.
"He is not our man and we know nothing about him" Omar said adding that its purpose was to give credence to a CIA report about involvement of Baitullah Mehsud in Bhutto's assassination.
