Man arrested for Dortmund bombing was looking to profit off explosion

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A 28-year-old man identified only asSergej W has been arrested for the bombing of the Borussia Dortmund team bus earlier this month, with prosecutors saying thatthe motive was profit and not radical Islam, as was first believed.

In a statement issued on Friday, prosecutors say that the man, who has both Russian and German nationality, had bought thousands of"put options" -- bets that a stock would fall -- on the club, guessing that its stock would fall precipitously after the explosion. He allegedly stood to make a large profit before his arrest.

From the BBC:
He was staying at the team's L'Arrive hotel in Dortmund on the day of the attack and had moved to a room on the top floor, overlooking the street where it took place, prosecutors say. The suspect placed the bet on 11 April using an IP address traced to the hotel, after taking out a loan for the money.
The explosion took place on April 11 and led to the delay of Dortmund's Champions League quarterfinal first leg match against Monaco. Dortmund defender Marc Bartra underwent wrist surgery following the explosion.

Police first believed the bomber had ties to radical Islam due to a note left at the scene, though the investigation cast doubt on the note's legitimacy, as police reportedly came to believe it had been planted there to try and dupe them.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

LeBron James Leads 26-Point Comeback to Give Cavaliers Game 3 Win over Pacers

The Cleveland Cavaliers overcame a 26-point deficit to beat the Indiana Pacers 119-114 Thursday night in Bankers Life Fieldhouse to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the first round of the 2017 NBA playoffs.

According to ESPN Stats and Info, Cleveland's win probability dropped to below 2 percent at halftime:

Cleveland prevailed despite Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love combining to score 26 points on 8-of-29 shooting. The Cavs turned into a one-man show in the fourth quarter, as The Athletic Cleveland's Jason Lloyd pointed out Irving and Love remained on the bench:

The Undefeated's Marc J. Spears tweeted about Cleveland's late-game offensive game plan:

Head coach Tyronn Lue's gambit paid off since taking Irving and Love out of the game left the Cavaliers with a slightly better defensive unit on the floor. And no player can single-handedly take over a game in the way LeBron James can. James finished with 41 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists.

ESPN Stats & Info noted how much of Cleveland's offense went through its best player:

The Pacers relied heavily on Paul George, who scored 36 points but struggled as he got less and less support from his teammates as the game went on. George shot 10-of-28, including 5-of-15 from three-point range.

The Pacers were coasting through the first two quarters, taking a 74-49 lead into the locker room at halftime. According to NBA on TNT, the 74 points were a franchise record for scoring in one half of a playoff game.

The NBA shared highlights from Indiana's first-half performance:

Then the Pacers offense went off the rails in the third quarter. Cleveland outscored Indiana 35-17 in the third frame to make it a seven-point game, 91-84. The Indianapolis Star's Gregg Doyel showed how much had changed for the Pacers offensively compared to the first half:

CBSSports.com's Matt Moore saw a worrying trend for Indiana:

SB Nation highlighted one concerned Pacers fan after the Cavs cut the deficit to two points:

Cleveland took a 100-98 lead with a thunderous right-handed jam by James with 6:28 remaining in the game, courtesy of the NBA:

CBS Sports showed how Monta Ellis offered little resistance to LeBron before the dunk:

The Pacers continued to stay with the Cavaliers until Channing Frye connected on a three-pointer with 54 seconds left that put Cleveland ahead 114-107.

Many questioned whether the Cavaliers' sluggish end to the regular season was a foreboding sign of their ultimate fate in the postseason or if they could flip a switch in the playoffs-not unlike they did last year.

With the series in Cleveland, the Cavs narrowly escaped with a victory in Game 1 and were outscored 33-21 in the fourth quarter of Game 2, turning what should've been an easy win into a hard-fought affair. The first half of Game 3 was a continuation of a lackluster postseason performance from the Cavaliers.

Then they put together one of their strongest collective halves of the 2016-17 season.

Thursday's comeback will be quickly forgotten should Cleveland begin suffering the same problems that plagued the team in the opening two games of the series.

Should the Cavs go on to make the NBA Finals, though, Game 3 will likely be remembered as the turning point when things began clicking for the defending champions.

The Jin Hung 9 docked at a port in Tangshan city in northern Hebei province, near Beijing, on Thursday morning.

According to a daily docking plan published on Jintang port's website, the North Korean ship was loaded with anthracite coal. The website listed a nearly six-hour unloading time for the ship.

What the Jin Hung 9 unloaded is not clear.

Speaking Friday, Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Lu Kang said the country's policy of not accepting coal imports from North Korea had not changed.

"There have been some reports that some coal ships have tied up in port. You are aware if these ships continue to remain out at sea, away from port, we need to make some humanitarian consideration for their crews," Lu said.

He added that "nothing that violates the implementation" of sanctions had occurred.

At least four other North Korean ships were listed as having docked at the port, but it is unclear what their cargo was.

China said in February it was halting all coal imports from North Korea for 2017 in accordance with a UN Security Council resolution passed last year.

"Imports of coal produced in North Korea -- including shipments already declared to the customs but yet to be released -- will be suspended for the remainder of this year," China's Ministry of Commerce said in a statement.

Coal is North Korea's main export and an important source of foreign currencies for its fragile economy. Most of North Korea's exported coal is shipped to China, its only major ally on the global stage.

The link between Beijing and Pyongyang has been frayed by North Korea's repeated missile tests, and increased pressure from Washington on China to act to prevent further nuclear tests by Pyongyang.

North Korea has conducted five nuclear tests since the early 2000s, all of which have been roundly condemned by China.

On Thursday, a day after North Korea's Vice Foreign Minister said Pyongyang would test missiles weekly and use nuclear weapons if threatened, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu said Beijing was "gravely concerned" about North Korea's recent nuclear and missile activities.

Lu also praised recent US statements about "using whatever peaceful means possible to resolve the (Korean) Peninsula nuclear issue."

Military moves

Tensions have been on a knife edge on the peninsula amid tit-for-tat saber rattling from Pyongyang and Washington and a major military parade in North Korea, during which several potential new intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) were unveiled, and a failed missile launch.

During a recent visit to Japan, US Vice President Mike Pence called North Korea the "most dangerous and urgent threat" to the region and vowed any North Korean attack on US forces or their allies would be met with "overwhelming" force.

According to US defense official, Chinese air force land-attack, cruise-missile-capable bombers were put on "high alert" earlier this week as part of what is believed to be a Chinese effort to "reduce the time to react to a North Korea contingency."

The official said the US also has seen an extraordinary number of Chinese military aircraft being brought up to full readiness through intensified maintenance.

On Friday, South Korea said it was closely watching North Korea in days ahead because it could "carry out a provocation at any time" around the April 25 anniversary of the founding of the Korean People's Army.

Trump predicts Paris attack will have 'big effect' on French election

Trump Says Paris Attack Will Have ‘Big Effect’ on French Election

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
PARIS - President Trump inserted himself into the tumult of French politics on Friday, declaring that the fatal shooting of a police officer in central Paris would have "a big effect" when voters go to the polls on Sunday to choose among 11 presidential candidates.

Mr. Trump did not mention any candidates by name. But his extraordinary statement on Twitter - "The people of France will not take much more of this. Will have a big effect on presidential election!" - came at the tail end of a fragmented and extraordinarily tight race, with at least four contenders running neck and neck.

One of them, Marine Le Pen, the far-right candidate, has issued grim warnings that a declining France is losing its identity, echoing Mr. Trump's themes during the American presidential race last year. It was not clear, however, that Mr. Trump's statement would help her among undecided voters.

In a statement on Friday, Ms. Le Pen blamed "radical Islam" - which she called "a monstrous, totalitarian ideology that has declared war on our nation, on reason, on civilization" - for the attack Thursday night.

Ms. Le Pen focused her demands on Friday on the roughly 10,000 people that law enforcement officers have flagged as possible Islamist radicals, saying those on the so-called S-files who are foreigners should be deported; those who are dual citizens should be stripped of their French nationality; and those who are French should be prosecuted.

Legal experts have noted, however, that the threshold for being designated for the S-files is very low, compared with the evidence needed to secure a criminal conviction.

The centrist independent candidate, Emmanuel Macron, urged France not to succumb to the fear that extremists seek to spread.

"They want France to be afraid; they want to disrupt the democratic process; they want the French to yield to unreasonableness and division," he said. "Our challenge is to protect the French, not to give up who we are, to stay unified and build a future."

The conservative candidate, François Fillon, the leader of the center-right Republicans, said from his campaign headquarters in Paris that France needed to gird for a long struggle.

"We are in a war that will be long," he said. "The opponent is powerful; its networks are numerous; its accomplices live among us and beside us."

Mr. Fillon said that, if elected, he would "take the diplomatic initiative" to reach consensus between Washington and Moscow on destroying the Islamic State, which he vowed to do "with an iron hand." He added that "France's Muslims overwhelmingly want to live their faith in peace," and appealed for their help in combating fundamentalism.

The gunman who killed the police officer Thursday evening on the Champs-Élysées in Paris had been detained in February for threatening the police, but he was released because there was not enough evidence to charge him, according to French news agencies and a law enforcement official.

The Islamic State terrorist group claimed responsibility within hours of the attack, which also wounded two police officers and a bystander and briefly shut down the city's most famous boulevard. The gunman was shot dead by the police as he tried to flee.

Numerous news agencies identified the gunman as Karim Cheurfi, who was born in 1967 and lived in Chelles, an eastern suburb of Paris. In an interview on Friday, a law enforcement official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation was continuing confirmed that Mr. Cheurfi was the gunman, and that he had been convicted around 2003 for attempted murder, after he shot two police officers.

Mr. Cheurfi was sentenced to 20 years in prison, but the sentence was reduced to 15 years and he served less than that, the official said.

On Friday, the office of the Paris prosecutor, François Molins, disclosed that the authorities had found a pump-action shotgun, two large kitchen knives, a pair of pruning shears, and a Quran had been found in the gunman's car.

Three people linked to the gunman have been taken into custody for questioning.

The prosecutor's office also said the assailant's car contained a piece of paper with the addresses of the French domestic intelligence agency and of a police station in Lagny-sur-Marne, a town about 13 miles east of Paris that neighbors Chelles.

Pierre-Henry Brandet, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry, told Europe 1 radio on Friday that the police officers who killed the gunman had averted a "blood bath, a carnage on the Champs-Élysées."

"This was an individual who was known by the judiciary, who was known to police services, who was a dangerous individual," he said.

Asked about reports in the French news media that the assailant had been briefly arrested in February after he expressed his intention to kill police officers, but that he had been released for lack of proof, Mr. Brandet declined to comment.

On Thursday, Belgian authorities issued a warrant for what they believed was a dangerous man who intended to travel to France. Some news reports suggested Thursday evening that the man might be connected to the shooting on the Champs-Élysées, but Mr. Brandet said the man turned himself in at a police station in the Belgian town of Anvers on Friday morning and did not appear to be related to the Paris case.

Mr. Molins was expected to hold a news conference later on Friday.

The suspect in this week's Fresno, California, mass shooting is scheduled to appear in court Friday to face arraignment for a first-degree murder charge in a killing five days earlier.

Kori Ali Muhammad was charged Thursday with killing unarmed security guard Carl Williams at a Motel 6 in Fresno a week earlier.

Williams was the first of four killings by Muhammad, authorities said.

Muhammad said Williams had shown him disrespect while Muhammad was visiting a woman at the motel, according to police.

Police say he told them that learning he was wanted for the Williams killing spurred him to try to kill as many white people as possible before he was caught.

He shot three other white men at random on Tuesday, police said, including a Pacific Gas & Electric worker sitting in a truck and two men who had come out of a Catholic Charities building. He fired 17 rounds in less than two minutes and police, with help from acoustic sensors posted in the area, arrested him less than five minutes after the rampage began.

Prosecutors say Muhammad will face murder charges for all four men, but they're waiting for investigators assemble their case before filing the other three.

If these spy shots are any indication, then the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 will be very loud. A prototype was just caught testing on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, and engineers had to rig up some extra piping on the exhaust to muffle its growl.

Many race tracks have noise ordinances in place that restrict how loud you can be at certain times. According to our shooter, the day this prototype was caught there was a 100-decibel limit in effect. The ZR1 apparently couldn't meet that, as extra piping was added to the tailpipes - a trick used by racers to reduce noise on noise-restricted track days. Each of the test mule's four bazooka-sized exhaust tips is fitted with a pipe angled at 90 degrees, with the outer tips getting longer pipes.

Exactly what makes the ZR1 so loud remains to be seen. A further evolution of the Z06's supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V-8 would make sense, but there have also been rumors of a new twin-turbo version. GM also let slip that a naturally aspirated dual-overhead-cam LT5 6.2-liter V-8 is destined for the Corvette in 2018, though we believe that engine will show up in the mid-engine Corvette. Whatever the case, expect the ZR1 to make more than the Z06's 650 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque.

We don't know how close this test mule's exhaust system is to production spec, but if it is then the Corvette ZR1 will be among the rowdiest cars on the road.
