Women says she was traumatized after falling victim to assassination prank.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WXMI) - A West Michigan woman says she was traumatized after falling victim to a terrifying prank last week.

Police refer to it as the "Assassination Game." They said it typically involves high school seniors and takes place in public, with them trying to attack someone with fake weapons.

When it happened to Nicole Laughlin, she initially thought she was being carjacked.

"I was terrified out of my mind, I was shaking uncontrollably," Laughlin told FOX 17 News.

Laughlin was about to leave for work in Comstock Park on Friday morning when she says a gray SUV blocked her exit from her driveway.

"A man jumped out of the bushes on my passenger side and came to my car window with a gun. He held the gun at my window and repeatedly shook the handle," Laughlin said.

Afraid she was being carjacked and not knowing what to do, she says she began honking her horn.

"In my terror all I could think to do was hold the horn down. All I recall is he just waved the gun, I don't recall him saying anything."

She says the guy eventually gave up and got in the vehicle that was blocking her driveway. She followed them, taking pictures as they drove away. The license plate helped police identify them just a few hours later, as well as determine the gun used in the incident was not real. They also learned that Laughlin wasn't even supposed to be involved.

"In this particular instance it was kind of a case of mistaken identity," said Detective Joel Roon with the Kent County Sheriff's Department. "Where the players of the game were supposed to 'assassinate' someone who lived nearby."

"They approached the wrong vehicle with the wrong person in it," he added.

Police investigated the incident as an attempted carjacking, not realizing until they tracked the people down that they were students with Grand Rapids Christian Schools and that this was part of the "Assassination Game."

"We are familiar with the game, so once it came out that this was a game play-related incident, they were released into the custody of their parents and the school, so there were no arrests made," Roon said.

Thomas DeJonge, Superintendent of Grand Rapids Christian Schools, released a statement saying the school deeply regrets what happened and sincerely apologizes.
Full statement:
Police say that despite it being played across the country, there is nothing funny about this game and that it could have deadly consequences.

"There are a number of people in the public today who carry firearms, and beyond that you could provoke a response from somebody," Roon said.

Laughlin says she is still traumatized by the experience.

"I feel a bit paranoid right now. You realize how vulnerable you are," she said. "Had that been a real criminal he could have run up my driveway and have access to my children."

She wants the students responsible to be held accountable. The Kent County Prosecutor's Office is currently reviewing the case and the two students could face charges.

"I have asked the police to press charges for whatever is appropriate," Laughlin said. "So that they are held accountable and this is taken seriously and that the behavior stops. My biggest concern is making sure students are safe."

The district is planning a meeting with staff and students Tuesday to talk about the dangers of this game.

Man on a flight to LA got into a fist fight

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The next they were scrambling out of the way as a male passenger became irate and began throwing punches at another man seated in the row behind him.

"No one provoked him -- he was cool up until a few minutes before he started hitting the guy," passenger Corey Hour, who videotaped the confrontation, told CNN. "He started verbally abusing and intimidating people. Nothing triggered him, it just happened."

The "air rage" episode occurred Monday night on All Nippon Airways (ANA) Flight NH6 from suburban Tokyo's Narita International Airport to LAX.

Hour, from Phoenix, Arizona, used his phone to capture the moment a man in a red Hawaiian shirt began punching another passenger on board the plane before it departed.

"The airline staff did what they could to defuse the situation, and they reacted appropriately," Hour told CNN.

"There were children everywhere, you can hear in the video them crying."

Hour said that after the initial encounter, the man in the red shirt "walked away but then came back and started hitting the guy again. That's when I stopped filming and confronted him."

"I was the one who stepped in. He backed down, I squared up with him and he wouldn't confront me," Hour said.

Hour told CNN the man was then escorted off the aircraft by airline personnel.

Hour praised the flight crew's response on Twitter: "For the record ANA staff and passengers handled the situation with grace and respect. They did the best they could to diffuse the situation."

The flight was delayed more than 90 minutes as a result of the incident, Hour said.

In a statement ANA apologized to passengers for the flight delay and said the passenger was detained and did not fly.

A Narita airport police official told CNN a "drunk" passenger was arrested at the airport Monday but did not confirm the arrest was related to this incident.

Hilary Clinton blames WikiLeaks and FBI Director James Comey for her loss to President Trump.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Hillary Clinton on Tuesday said she took "absolute personal responsibility" for her losing presidential campaign -- but went on to blame FBI Director James Comey and Russian interference for aiding Republican rival Donald Trump's ascension to the presidency.

Clinton specifically cited a letter from Comey late in the campaign saying agents were looking into possible new information related to Clinton's secret, homebrewed computer server. She was ultimately never charged with a crime, and Comey cleared Clinton on the Sunday before the election.

She also mentioned WikiLeaks, the antisecrecy website which some analysts believe to be connected to Russia and which posted the hacked emails of Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta.

"I was on the way to winning until a combination of Jim Comey's letter on October 28 and Russian WikiLeaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me but were scared off," Clinton said at the Women for Women International Conference.

She added: "If the election were on October 27, I'd be your president."

Clinton said she was writing a book about her experience as the 2016 Democratic Nominee.

"It is a painful process reliving the campaign," she said.

Clinton, the first female presidential candidate of a major party, said her election "would have been a really big deal."

"There were important messages that could have sent," Clinton said.

person in the fbi was married to an isis terrorist without knowing it

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
He was Denis Cuspert, a German rapper turned ISIS pitchman, whose growing influence as an online recruiter for violent jihadists had put him on the radar of counter-terrorism authorities on two continents.

In Germany, Cuspert went by the rap name Deso Dogg. In Syria, he was known as Abu Talha al-Almani. He praised Osama bin Laden in a song, threatened former President Barack Obama with a throat-cutting gesture and appeared in propaganda videos, including one in which he was holding a freshly severed human head.

Within weeks of marrying Cuspert, Greene, 38, seemed to realize she had made a terrible mistake. She fled back to the US, where she was immediately arrested and agreed to cooperate with authorities. She pleaded guilty to making false statements involving international terrorism and was sentenced to two years in federal prison. She was released last summer.

The FBI, in a statement to CNN, said as a result of Greene's case it "took several steps in a variety of areas to identify and reduce security vulnerabilities. The FBI continues to strengthen protective measures in carrying out its vital work."

The FBI did not identify what steps were taken and declined further comment.

"It's a stunning embarrassment for the FBI, no doubt about it," said John Kirby, a former State Department official. He said he suspects Greene's entry into Syria required the approval of top ISIS leaders.

Most outsiders trying to get into an ISIS region in Syria risk "getting their heads cut off," said Kirby, now a CNN commentator on national security matters. "So for her to be able to get in as an American, as a woman, as an FBI employee, and to be able to take up residence with a known ISIS leader, that all had to be coordinated."

In court papers filed in US District Court in Washington D.C., prosecutors characterized Greene's conduct as "egregious," deserving of "severe punishment."

Assistant US Attorney Thomas Gillice said Greene had "violated the public trust, the trust of the officials who granted her security clearance, and the trust of those with whom she worked and, in doing so, endangered our nation's security."

Even though Greene's "conduct skirted a line dangerously close to other more serious charges," the prosecutor argued she should receive a lighter sentence because of her cooperation.

Greene's two-year sentence was less than punishments given other defendants charged with terrorism-related crimes.

Even failed attempts to travel to Syria and join ISIS have earned defendants much stiffer prison sentences. Americans convicted in dozens of recent ISIS prosecutions received an average sentence of 13 1/2 years in prison, according to an analysis in April by the Center on National Security at Fordham University.

A Justice Department official, however, said Greene's sentence was "in line" with similar cases, but declined to cite examples.

After Greene finished cooperating with authorities, prosecutors asked the judge to unseal portions of the court file, including Greene's identity.

"Unsealing these documents will allow appropriate public access to and knowledge of the circumstances of this case," prosecutors stated.

Greene, who now works as a hostess in a hotel lounge, said in a brief interview with CNN that she was fearful of discussing the details of her case.

"If I talk to you my family will be in danger," Greene said. She declined further comment.

CNN is withholding Greene's location in the US and has obscured her face in photos and videos due to concerns raised about her safety.

Her attorney, former assistant federal public defender Shawn Moore, said he could not comment on details of the case, citing attorney-client privilege constraints and national security restrictions.

He described Greene as "smart, articulate and obviously naïve." He said she was "genuinely remorseful" for her actions.

"She was just a well-meaning person that got up in something way over her head," Moore said. He declined further comment.

"She was a really hard worker..."

There is nothing readily apparent in Greene's past to suggest she would one day find herself the bride of an international terrorist.

Born in Czechoslovakia and raised for a time in Germany, she married a US soldier at a young age and moved to the United States, several friends and acquaintances recalled. She went by the nickname Dani.

She attended college at Cameron University in Oklahoma where she was on the dean's list. She then went to graduate school at Clemson University where she earned a Master's Degree in history.

"I could see she was a really hard worker," said Clemson Professor Alan Grubb, who advised Greene on her thesis, which explored "racial motivations for French collaboration during the Second World War."

"She was one of our better graduate students, I thought," he said.

Grubb recalled writing a letter of recommendation for her for a job that involved translating for a federal government agency.

Fluent in German, Greene went to work for the FBI as a contract linguist in 2011. It was a job that, following a grueling application and vetting process, came with a top-secret national security clearance.

Greene was assigned to the bureau's Detroit office in January 2014 when she was put to work "in an investigative capacity" on the case of a German terrorist referred to in court records only as "Individual A."

CNN identified "Individual A" as Cuspert using court documents, newspaper articles about his music career and transformation to jihadist, government bulletins, videos and other sources. His identity was ultimately confirmed by a source familiar with the investigation.

From Gangsta Rapper to Jihadist

Before Cuspert became a front man for jihadists, he was known as Deso Dogg in Germany. Tattoos on each hand spell out the image he cultivated in the mold of American gangsta rappers.

"STR8" was inked on one hand, "THUG" on the other.

One CD cover featured Cuspert with a menacing glare, holding a gun to his own head. His image was backed up by a real life rap sheet with a string of arrests. He had a lean, muscular physique and trained in various martial arts.

Cuspert never achieved star status in the music world, but he did enjoy some success: In 2006, he opened for popular US rapper DMX.

A near-death experience in a car accident prompted Cuspert to turn to religion, according to numerous press accounts. In 2010, he quit the rap world and converted to Islam. He traded his hard driving gangsta-style lyrics for Islamic devotional songs called Nasheeds, including one that praised bin Laden.

Cuspert gained some notoriety as an extremist in 2011 after he posted on Facebook a fake video purportedly showing US soldiers raping a Muslim woman. The video motivated a man to carry out a terrorist attack on the Frankfurt airport, killing two US airmen and wounding two others, according to The New York Times.

In 2012, Cuspert fled Germany, reportedly spending time in Egypt and Libya. The following year, he arrived in Syria, where he would emerge as "ISIS's Celebrity Cheerleader," according to a report from the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), a group that monitors various topics in the region, including violent extremism.

As part of the FBI's investigation into "Individual A," Greene identified several online accounts and phone numbers used by the terrorist, according to the court file.

Among them were two Skype accounts. She maintained "sole access" to a third Skype account, the records state.

It was in April 2014, during Greene's work on the investigation, that Cuspert appeared in a video declaring his allegiance to ISIS and its leader, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi.

He called ISIS "the state that no one can stop," adding, "we will continue to build it until it reaches Washington... Obama!" He then made a throat-cutting gesture with his finger, according to the MEMRI report.

On June 11, 2014, Greene filled out a Report of Foreign Travel form -- a document FBI employees and contractors with national security clearances are required to complete when traveling abroad.

Greene, who was still married to her American husband at the time, characterized her travel on the form as "Vacation/Personal," court records show.

"Want to see my family," she wrote. Specifically, Greene said, she was going to see her parents in Munich, Germany.

She boarded an international flight on June 23, 2014. But her destination wasn't Germany. She flew instead on a one-way ticket to Istanbul, Turkey, where she had reservations at the Erguvan Hotel. From there she traveled to the city of Gaziantep, about 20 miles from the Syrian border.

She contacted "Individual A," the documents state, and with the assistance of a third party arranged by him, crossed the border into Syria. Once there, according to the court records, she married him.

Shortly after, Greene sent emails from inside Syria to an unidentified person in the US showing she was having second thoughts and suggesting she knew she was breaking the law.

"I was weak and didn't know how to handle anything anymore," she wrote on July 8. "I really made a mess of things this time."

In another email the following day she wrote: "I am gone and I can't come back. I wouldn't even know how to make it through, if I tried to come back. I am in a very harsh environment and I don't know how long I will last here, but it doesn't matter, it's all a little too late..."

On July 22, 2014, she again wrote to the unidentified recipient: "Not sure if they told you that I will probably go to prison for a long time if I come back, but that is life. I wish I could turn back time some days."

While Greene was expressing regrets, Cuspert was actively fighting ISIS's battles.

A video from July 2014 "showed glimpses of him in the bloody aftermath of the ISIS takeover of the Al-Sha'er gas fields in Homs," according to the MEMRI report on Cuspert. In a field covered with dead bodies, Cuspert "is seen for several seconds beating a corpse with a sandal," the report said.

Back in the US

It is unclear from the court file precisely when or how authorities learned of Greene's actions, but on Aug. 1, 2014, five weeks after she left for Syria, federal authorities secretly issued a warrant for her arrest.

"At that time," prosecutors would later write, "the defendant was at large in Syria or Turkey in the company of the leader of a terrorist group."

After about a month in Syria, Greene somehow was able to leave the war-torn country and returned to the United States. She was arrested on Aug. 8, 2014.

In November that year, with Greene in custody and cooperating with the government, prosecutors argued for the court file to remain sealed: "Publicity regarding the arrest of the defendant or the charges against her would contribute to a substantial likelihood of imminent danger to a party, witness or other person as well as a substantial likelihood that the ongoing investigation will be seriously jeopardized."

What ensued was a succession of secret hearings and court filings.

Then, on April 17, 2015, prosecutors told the judge Greene's cooperation had concluded. The following month, portions of the case file were unsealed, though the judge kept some material secret.

Gillice, a prosecutor in the National Security Section of the US Attorney's office in Washington D.C., wrote that Greene placed herself and her country in serious jeopardy.

"She endangered our national security by exposing herself and her knowledge of sensitive matters to those terrorist organizations," he wrote. "Her escape from the area unscathed, and with apparently much of that knowledge undisclosed, appears a stroke of luck or a measure of the lack of savvy on the part of the terrorists with whom she interacted."

In his argument for a reduced sentence, Gillice noted that Greene immediately began cooperating with authorities. Her cooperation was "significant, long-running and substantial," he wrote.

"After the egregious abuse of her position, the defendant attempted to right her wrongs, and to ultimately assist her country again," the prosecutor wrote.

A Special Designation

A month after Greene secretly pleaded guilty in December 2014, an item appeared in the US government's federal register about the man that only handful of people knew she had married.

It was a notice from then-Secretary of State John F. Kerry dated Jan. 9, 2015.

"I hereby determine that the individual known as Denis Cuspert, also known as Denis Mamadou Cuspert, also known as Abou Mamadou, also known as Abu Talha the German...committed, or poses a significant risk of committing, acts of terrorism that threaten the security of U.S. nationals or the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States."

The obscure posting was a precursor to the State Department declaring Cuspert a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist" in February 2015 in a bulletin on the agency's website.

The bulletin cited his oath of loyalty to ISIS and his appearance in a video in which he held a severed human head he said belong to man executed for opposing the group.

It called Cuspert "a willing pitchman for [ISIS] atrocities" and said he appears to be a recruiter with a special emphasis on recruiting German speakers to the terrorist organization.

The bulletin made no mention of him having recently married an employee of the FBI.

But days after the State Department bulletin was posted, a German newspaper published a report saying Cuspert had married an FBI spy.

The report, citing unnamed US and German intelligence officials, did not name the spy.

The report was also at odds with Greene's case on a fundamental level: It described the operation as an FBI-sanctioned plot in which Cuspert was duped by a spy, not as the work of a rogue employee who broke the law and betrayed her country in the process.

Several news outlets ran brief stories summarizing the German report. The FBI declined comment and the matter died without Greene's identity or true role being revealed.

In October 2015, the Pentagon said Cuspert was killed in an air strike near the northern Syria city of Raqqah.

Nine months later, on August 3, 2016, the Pentagon released a statement reversing its assessment of Cuspert's death: "It now appears that assessment was incorrect and Denis Cuspert survived the airstrike."

One day later, Greene was released from federal prison, records show.

Parents in YouTube 'prank' videos lose custody of kids following investigation

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A father and stepmother, who faced backlash for posting controversial online prank videos involving their children, have lost custody of two of them to their biological mother.

Mike and Heather Martin had been under fire for the extreme videos posted to their DaddyOFive YouTube channel. Videos with names like "PSYCHO CLOWN ATTACKS FAMILY" and "DAD PUNCHES KID IN THE FACE" show extreme pranks involving the family.

Last month, many members of the online community who viewed the videos claimed the children featured were being abused and that child protective services should step in.
YOUTUBE PRANKS GET PARENTS ACCUSED OF CHILD ABUSE BY VIEWERS
An online petition was also created in an attempt to get Child Protective Services to step in.

In a video posted online Monday, Rose Hall, the biological mother of two of the children, said that she had emergency custody of 9-year-old Cody and 12-year-old Emma. "They're doing good," Hall said in the video first reported on by The DailyMail. "They're getting back to their playful selves."

Cody and Emma were often the focus of the pranks posted online.

In one video, titled "INVISIBLE INK PRANK," the Martins pranked Cody in a profanity-filled tirade that left him hysterically in tears.

The Martins claimed all of the pranks were staged and that they often let their children come up with the ideas the videos were based on.

After the 'INVISIBLE INK PRANK' was published it was pulled from YouTube for violating the site's policy on harassment and bullying.

Shortly after the video was removed, the Martins posted an apology and enlisted the services of a crisis management agency to help handle the backlash.

The next they were scrambling out of the way as a male passenger became irate and began throwing punches at another man seated in the row behind him.

"No one provoked him -- he was cool up until a few minutes before he started hitting the guy," passenger Corey Hour, who videotaped the confrontation, told CNN. "He started verbally abusing and intimidating people. Nothing triggered him, it just happened."

The "air rage" episode occurred Monday night on All Nippon Airways (ANA) Flight NH6 from suburban Tokyo's Narita International Airport to LAX.

Hour, from Phoenix, Arizona, used his phone to capture the moment a man in a red Hawaiian shirt began punching another passenger on board the plane before it departed.

"The airline staff did what they could to defuse the situation, and they reacted appropriately," Hour told CNN.

"There were children everywhere, you can hear in the video them crying."

Hour said that after the initial encounter, the man in the red shirt "walked away but then came back and started hitting the guy again. That's when I stopped filming and confronted him."

"I was the one who stepped in. He backed down, I squared up with him and he wouldn't confront me," Hour said.

Hour told CNN the man was then escorted off the aircraft by airline personnel.

Hour praised the flight crew's response on Twitter: "For the record ANA staff and passengers handled the situation with grace and respect. They did the best they could to diffuse the situation."

The flight was delayed more than 90 minutes as a result of the incident, Hour said.

In a statement ANA apologized to passengers for the flight delay and said the passenger was detained and did not fly.

"It's a stunning embarrassment for the FBI, no doubt about it," said John Kirby, a former State Department official. He said he suspects Greene's entry into Syria required the approval of top ISIS leaders.

Most outsiders trying to get into an ISIS region in Syria risk "getting their heads cut off," said Kirby, now a CNN commentator on national security matters. "So for her to be able to get in as an American, as a woman, as an FBI employee, and to be able to take up residence with a known ISIS leader, that all had to be coordinated."

In court papers filed in US District Court in Washington D.C., prosecutors characterized Greene's conduct as "egregious," deserving of "severe punishment."

Assistant US Attorney Thomas Gillice said Greene had "violated the public trust, the trust of the officials who granted her security clearance, and the trust of those with whom she worked and, in doing so, endangered our nation's security."

Even though Greene's "conduct skirted a line dangerously close to other more serious charges," the prosecutor argued she should receive a lighter sentence because of her cooperation.

Greene's two-year sentence was less than punishments given other defendants charged with terrorism-related crimes.

Even failed attempts to travel to Syria and join ISIS have earned defendants much stiffer prison sentences. Americans convicted in dozens of recent ISIS prosecutions received an average sentence of 13 1/2 years in prison, according to an analysis in April by the Center on National Security at Fordham University.

A Justice Department official, however, said Greene's sentence was "in line" with similar cases, but declined to cite examples.

After Greene finished cooperating with authorities, prosecutors asked the judge to unseal portions of the court file, including Greene's identity.

"Unsealing these documents will allow appropriate public access to and knowledge of the circumstances of this case," prosecutors stated.

Greene, who now works as a hostess in a hotel lounge, said in a brief interview with CNN that she was fearful of discussing the details of her case.

"If I talk to you my family will be in danger," Greene said. She declined further comment.

CNN is withholding Greene's location in the US and has obscured her face in photos and videos due to concerns raised about her safety.

Her attorney, former assistant federal public defender Shawn Moore, said he could not comment on details of the case, citing attorney-client privilege constraints and national security restrictions.

He described Greene as "smart, articulate and obviously naïve." He said she was "genuinely remorseful" for her actions.

"She was just a well-meaning person that got up in something way over her head," Moore said. He declined further comment.

"She was a really hard worker..."

There is nothing readily apparent in Greene's past to suggest she would one day find herself the bride of an international terrorist.

Born in Czechoslovakia and raised for a time in Germany, she married a US soldier at a young age and moved to the United States, several friends and acquaintances recalled. She went by the nickname Dani.

She attended college at Cameron University in Oklahoma where she was on the dean's list. She then went to graduate school at Clemson University where she earned a Master's Degree in history.

"I could see she was a really hard worker," said Clemson Professor Alan Grubb, who advised Greene on her thesis, which explored "racial motivations for French collaboration during the Second World War."

"She was one of our better graduate students, I thought," he said.

Grubb recalled writing a letter of recommendation for her for a job that involved translating for a federal government agency.

Fluent in German, Greene went to work for the FBI as a contract linguist in 2011. It was a job that, following a grueling application and vetting process, came with a top-secret national security clearance.

Greene was assigned to the bureau's Detroit office in January 2014 when she was put to work "in an investigative capacity" on the case of a German terrorist referred to in court records only as "Individual A."

CNN identified "Individual A" as Cuspert using court documents, newspaper articles about his music career and transformation to jihadist, government bulletins, videos and other sources. His identity was ultimately confirmed by a source familiar with the investigation.

From Gangsta Rapper to Jihadist

Before Cuspert became a front man for jihadists, he was known as Deso Dogg in Germany. Tattoos on each hand spell out the image he cultivated in the mold of American gangsta rappers.

"STR8" was inked on one hand, "THUG" on the other.

One CD cover featured Cuspert with a menacing glare, holding a gun to his own head. His image was backed up by a real life rap sheet with a string of arrests. He had a lean, muscular physique and trained in various martial arts.

Cuspert never achieved star status in the music world, but he did enjoy some success: In 2006, he opened for popular US rapper DMX.

A near-death experience in a car accident prompted Cuspert to turn to religion, according to numerous press accounts. In 2010, he quit the rap world and converted to Islam. He traded his hard driving gangsta-style lyrics for Islamic devotional songs called Nasheeds, including one that praised bin Laden.

Cuspert gained some notoriety as an extremist in 2011 after he posted on Facebook a fake video purportedly showing US soldiers raping a Muslim woman. The video motivated a man to carry out a terrorist attack on the Frankfurt airport, killing two US airmen and wounding two others, according to The New York Times.

In 2012, Cuspert fled Germany, reportedly spending time in Egypt and Libya. The following year, he arrived in Syria, where he would emerge as "ISIS's Celebrity Cheerleader," according to a report from the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), a group that monitors various topics in the region, including violent extremism.

As part of the FBI's investigation into "Individual A," Greene identified several online accounts and phone numbers used by the terrorist, according to the court file.

Among them were two Skype accounts. She maintained "sole access" to a third Skype account, the records state.

It was in April 2014, during Greene's work on the investigation, that Cuspert appeared in a video declaring his allegiance to ISIS and its leader, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi.

He called ISIS "the state that no one can stop," adding, "we will continue to build it until it reaches Washington... Obama!" He then made a throat-cutting gesture with his finger, according to the MEMRI report.

On June 11, 2014, Greene filled out a Report of Foreign Travel form -- a document FBI employees and contractors with national security clearances are required to complete when traveling abroad.

Greene, who was still married to her American husband at the time, characterized her travel on the form as "Vacation/Personal," court records show.

"Want to see my family," she wrote. Specifically, Greene said, she was going to see her parents in Munich, Germany.

She boarded an international flight on June 23, 2014. But her destination wasn't Germany. She flew instead on a one-way ticket to Istanbul, Turkey, where she had reservations at the Erguvan Hotel. From there she traveled to the city of Gaziantep, about 20 miles from the Syrian border.

She contacted "Individual A," the documents state, and with the assistance of a third party arranged by him, crossed the border into Syria. Once there, according to the court records, she married him.

Shortly after, Greene sent emails from inside Syria to an unidentified person in the US showing she was having second thoughts and suggesting she knew she was breaking the law.

"I was weak and didn't know how to handle anything anymore," she wrote on July 8. "I really made a mess of things this time."

In another email the following day she wrote: "I am gone and I can't come back. I wouldn't even know how to make it through, if I tried to come back. I am in a very harsh environment and I don't know how long I will last here, but it doesn't matter, it's all a little too late..."

On July 22, 2014, she again wrote to the unidentified recipient: "Not sure if they told you that I will probably go to prison for a long time if I come back, but that is life. I wish I could turn back time some days."

While Greene was expressing regrets, Cuspert was actively fighting ISIS's battles.

A video from July 2014 "showed glimpses of him in the bloody aftermath of the ISIS takeover of the Al-Sha'er gas fields in Homs," according to the MEMRI report on Cuspert. In a field covered with dead bodies, Cuspert "is seen for several seconds beating a corpse with a sandal," the report said.

Back in the US

It is unclear from the court file precisely when or how authorities learned of Greene's actions, but on Aug. 1, 2014, five weeks after she left for Syria, federal authorities secretly issued a warrant for her arrest.

"At that time," prosecutors would later write, "the defendant was at large in Syria or Turkey in the company of the leader of a terrorist group."

After about a month in Syria, Greene somehow was able to leave the war-torn country and returned to the United States. She was arrested on Aug. 8, 2014.

In November that year, with Greene in custody and cooperating with the government, prosecutors argued for the court file to remain sealed: "Publicity regarding the arrest of the defendant or the charges against her would contribute to a substantial likelihood of imminent danger to a party, witness or other person as well as a substantial likelihood that the ongoing investigation will be seriously jeopardized."

What ensued was a succession of secret hearings and court filings.

Then, on April 17, 2015, prosecutors told the judge Greene's cooperation had concluded. The following month, portions of the case file were unsealed, though the judge kept some material secret.

Gillice, a prosecutor in the National Security Section of the US Attorney's office in Washington D.C., wrote that Greene placed herself and her country in serious jeopardy.

"She endangered our national security by exposing herself and her knowledge of sensitive matters to those terrorist organizations," he wrote. "Her escape from the area unscathed, and with apparently much of that knowledge undisclosed, appears a stroke of luck or a measure of the lack of savvy on the part of the terrorists with whom she interacted."

In his argument for a reduced sentence, Gillice noted that Greene immediately began cooperating with authorities. Her cooperation was "significant, long-running and substantial," he wrote.

"After the egregious abuse of her position, the defendant attempted to right her wrongs, and to ultimately assist her country again," the prosecutor wrote.

A Special Designation

A month after Greene secretly pleaded guilty in December 2014, an item appeared in the US government's federal register about the man that only handful of people knew she had married.

It was a notice from then-Secretary of State John F. Kerry dated Jan. 9, 2015.

"I hereby determine that the individual known as Denis Cuspert, also known as Denis Mamadou Cuspert, also known as Abou Mamadou, also known as Abu Talha the German...committed, or poses a significant risk of committing, acts of terrorism that threaten the security of U.S. nationals or the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States."

The obscure posting was a precursor to the State Department declaring Cuspert a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist" in February 2015 in a bulletin on the agency's website.

The bulletin cited his oath of loyalty to ISIS and his appearance in a video in which he held a severed human head he said belong to man executed for opposing the group.

It called Cuspert "a willing pitchman for [ISIS] atrocities" and said he appears to be a recruiter with a special emphasis on recruiting German speakers to the terrorist organization.

The bulletin made no mention of him having recently married an employee of the FBI.

But days after the State Department bulletin was posted, a German newspaper published a report saying Cuspert had married an FBI spy.

The report, citing unnamed US and German intelligence officials, did not name the spy.

The report was also at odds with Greene's case on a fundamental level: It described the operation as an FBI-sanctioned plot in which Cuspert was duped by a spy, not as the work of a rogue employee who broke the law and betrayed her country in the process.

Several news outlets ran brief stories summarizing the German report. The FBI declined comment and the matter died without Greene's identity or true role being revealed.

In October 2015, the Pentagon said Cuspert was killed in an air strike near the northern Syria city of Raqqah.

Nine months later, on August 3, 2016, the Pentagon released a statement reversing its assessment of Cuspert's death: "It now appears that assessment was incorrect and Denis Cuspert survived the airstrike."

One day later, Greene was released from federal prison, records show.

He was Denis Cuspert, a German rapper turned ISIS pitchman, whose growing influence as an online recruiter for violent jihadists had put him on the radar of counter-terrorism authorities on two continents. In Germany, Cuspert went by the rap name Deso Dogg. In Syria, he was known as Abu Talha al-Almani.

Fistfight on plane is Los Angeles between passengers.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The next they were scrambling out of the way as a male passenger became irate and began throwing punches at another man seated in the row behind him.

"No one provoked him -- he was cool up until a few minutes before he started hitting the guy," passenger Corey Hour, who videotaped the confrontation, told CNN. "He started verbally abusing and intimidating people. Nothing triggered him, it just happened."

The "air rage" episode occurred Monday night on All Nippon Airways (ANA) Flight NH6 from suburban Tokyo's Narita International Airport to LAX.

Hour, from Phoenix, Arizona, used his phone to capture the moment a man in a red Hawaiian shirt began punching another passenger on board the plane before it departed.

"The airline staff did what they could to defuse the situation, and they reacted appropriately," Hour told CNN.

"There were children everywhere, you can hear in the video them crying."

Hour said that after the initial encounter, the man in the red shirt "walked away but then came back and started hitting the guy again. That's when I stopped filming and confronted him."

"I was the one who stepped in. He backed down, I squared up with him and he wouldn't confront me," Hour said.

Hour told CNN the man was then escorted off the aircraft by airline personnel.

Hour praised the flight crew's response on Twitter: "For the record ANA staff and passengers handled the situation with grace and respect. They did the best they could to diffuse the situation."

The flight was delayed more than 90 minutes as a result of the incident, Hour said.

In a statement ANA apologized to passengers for the flight delay and said the passenger was detained and did not fly.

A Narita airport police official told CNN a "drunk" passenger was arrested at the airport Monday but did not confirm the arrest was related to this incident.

A student at the University of Texas at Austin accused of stabbing four students is believed to have suffered from mental health issues, officials said today.

A student at the University of Texas at Austin accused of stabbing four students is believed to have suffered from mental health issues, officials said today.

The suspect, Kendrex White, allegedly kicked a female student out of the way on campus on Monday before stabbing four male students, including one fatally, UT Austin Chief of Police David Carter said at a press conference today.

After White allegedly stabbed the first student, he continued to walk "in a calm fashion" and found another student sitting at a picnic table and stabbed him in the back of the head, Carter said.

White then kept walking and stabbed a third victim, followed by a fourth victim, Carter said.

Carter said it's believed White was suffering from mental health issues. White was recently involuntarily committed in another city, Carter said.

Carter said there was nothing to suggest that White was targeting fraternities or other groups.

"This was not a conspiracy," Carter said. "This was not a person that had a vendetta against any particular group."

White, who was taken into custody after the stabbings, was booked on a charge of murder and the charge is expected to be officially filed by this evening, Austin Police Chief Brian Manley said.

Undergraduate student Harrison Brown died from his injuries. Two of the three other injured students have since been released from the hospital.

School President Gregory Fenves said in a statement Monday night, "I ask that our entire community come together to support the victims and their families. They are suffering, and we all must be there for them. Preparations are underway for a gathering to honor the victims that will be held in the coming days."

Fenves said today that the UT tower will be darkened during the upcoming memorial.

He added that there is justified fear on campus and noted that this fatal attack came one year after another student's murder.

Haruka Weiser, an 18-year-old first-year theater and dance major at UT Austin, was murdered in April 2016 and her body was discovered in a campus creek. A 17-year-old, who was not a student, was arrested.

"I'm hurt and I'm angry that our campus has seen these two tragedies," Fenves said today.

Fenves said this year the campus has focused on improving security but "clearly there is work to be done."

The US has sent a high-altitude surveillance RQ-4 Global Hawk drone to Japan, marking the beginning of a five-month deployment. It is expected to monitor moves made by North Korea, according to Japanese media.

The US has sent a high-altitude surveillance RQ-4 Global Hawk drone to Japan, marking the beginning of a five-month deployment. It is expected to monitor moves made by North Korea, according to Japanese media.

The drone landed at Yokota Air Base in western Tokyo on Monday night, after flying from Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, the Japan Times reported.

According to Japanese Defense Ministry officials, the drone can capture aerial images and electronic data from an altitude of around 50,000 feet (15,240 meters) or higher.

It will be remotely controlled from Yokota during takeoff and landing. Once it reaches a sufficient altitude, it will be controlled from the US mainland.

The arrival of the drone, which is part of the 69th Reconnaissance Group Detachment 1, marks the beginning of a five-month mission for the drone. The US military said it will remain in Tokyo until October to avoid inclement weather in Guam, including typhoons.

"This rotational deployment of the Global Hawk is temporary but necessary to provide a base from which the platform can be reliably operated during the summer," the US Pacific Command wrote in a statement last month.

It went on to state that the US "continues to deploy its most advanced capabilities to Japan, including the Global Hawk, in keeping with our commitment to further contribute to the security of Japan and to the stability of the region."

Japan's NHK broadcaster reported that the drone is expected to monitor moves made by North Korea, including ballistic missile launches, while it is stationed in Japan.

Four other Global Hawk drones and around 105 personnel currently based at Anderson Air Force Base in Guam are also scheduled to arrive at Yokota soon, according to US Pacific Command.

The cooperation between the US and Japan comes just days after Japanese fighter jets joined American aircraft for joint drills in waters off Okinawa, amid heightened tensions with North Korea.

US President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe also held an informal telephone call on Monday, according to sources cited by the Japan Times. It followed three formal telephone meetings last month, all of which focused on the increasing threat posed by North Korea.

Trump has taken a hardline stance against North Korea since taking office in January, repeatedly vowing to end its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

The White House has said that it hopes the issue can be dealt with diplomatically, with Trump saying on Monday that he would be "honored" to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-un under the right circumstances. However, the Trump administration has also repeatedly stressed that "all options are on the table" when it comes to dealing with Pyongyang.

You could make $8,000 a month as a Facebook intern

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Not all college kids spend their summers fetching coffee for free.

Interns who score gigs at top companies net thousands of dollars per month, according to a list of the 25 highest paying internships in America by jobs site Glassdoor.

Unsurprisingly, internships at major tech companies are among the most lucrative.

Facebook came out on top with a median monthly pay of $8,000, according to Glassdoor. That would make for an annual salary of $96,000 (and keep in mind, median salary means half of interns are making more than that amount).

For what it's worth, the median annual household income in the U.S. in 2015 was $56,516.

Microsoft , which pays interns a median $7,100 per month, took second place. Salesforce , Amazon , Apple , Yelp , Yahoo and Dell subsidiary VMware all made the top 10, offering a median monthly salary between $6,080 and $6,450. Google , at $6,000, was stuck at No. 11.

Related: These are the top-paying jobs in America

That's significantly higher than what's offered by some major financial institutions, though many still made the top 25. Investment management company BlackRock pays interns a median monthly salary of $5,400. Capital One interns earn a median $5,000 per month. And interns at Deutsche Bank , AIG and Bank of America all make a median monthly salary between $4,570 and $4,640.

The wages offered by all these companies are exceptional. College interns in 2016 made an average $16.28 per hour, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers. That's roughly $2,600 per month.

And don't forget: Many internships aren't compensated at all. Only 56% of college seniors who graduated in 2016 held paid internships, according to NACE.

An internship on Glassdoor's list could also pay off down the road. Many companies also made the rundown of highest paying full-time employers.

Texas car dealer leveled by 140+ mph tornado

A car dealership in Texas was swept away Saturday night during a tornado, reported an NBC affiliate in Dallas-Fort Worth.

Interstate 20 Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Canton's showroom and maintenance facility were flattened by the storm. Dozens of cars on the interstate were reportedly overturned.

Owner Randall Noe told NBC DFW-Channel 5 that the dealership was evacuated by the general manager about five minutes before the tornado struck.

"The crew here, the general manager, asked everybody to leave and go home because sky turned green, he said, they could start hearing the howling noise," he said. "They did get out."

At least four tornadoes struck the surrounding counties, two of which exceeded winds of 140 mph, earning a "strong" tornado intensity rating, the National Weather Service said in a statement.

Several National Weather Service survey teams were deployed Monday to further assess the damage.

Robert Wardell, parts and service director at All-Star Ford-Canton, said his dealership sustained no damage while the Interstate 20 business -- just up the same street -- was, "wiped out completely."

Search and rescue from the tornado is almost complete, according to City Secretary Debra Johnson, and a station for volunteers has been established at a local fairground.

"We're just trying to make whatever recovery efforts we can, as soon as we can," Johnson said.
