According to the AP, the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing killed an MIT police officer and hurled explosives at police in a car chase and gun battle overnight that left one dead and his brother on the loose.

The suspects were identified by law enforcement officials and a family member as Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, brothers from a Russian region near Chechnya, which has been plagued by an Islamic insurgency that has carried out deadly bombings. They lived near Boston and had been in the U.S. for about a decade, an uncle said.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, a 26-year-old who had been known to the FBI as Suspect No. 1 and was seen in surveillance footage in a black baseball cap, was killed overnight, officials said. His 19-year-old brother – dubbed Suspect No. 2 and seen wearing a white, backward baseball cap in the images from Monday’s deadly bombing at the marathon finish line – escaped.

The law enforcement officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the unfolding case.

The grand jury report in the case of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 72, is horrifying. “This case is about a doctor who killed babies and endangered women. What we mean is that he regularly and illegally delivered live, viable babies in the third trimester of pregnancy – and then murdered these newborns by severing their spinal cords with scissors,” the report states. “The medical practice by which he carried out this business was a filthy fraud in which he overdosed his patients with dangerous drugs, spread venereal disease among them with infected instruments, perforated their wombs and bowels – and, on at least two occasions, caused their deaths.”

The grand jury continued, “Let us say right up front that we realize this case will be used by those on both sides of the abortion debate. We ourselves cover a spectrum of personal beliefs about the morality of abortion. For us as a criminal grand jury, however, the case is not about that controversy; it is about disregard of the law and disdain for the lives and health of mothers and infants. We find common ground in exposing what happened here, and in recommending measures to prevent anything like this from ever happening again.

Seven-hundred special operations veterans, who spent their military careers preparing for and executing rescue and recovery missions of detained or threatened Americans, signed a letter to every member of the House of Representatives urging the legislators to support H.Res. 36, which will create a House Select Committee to investigate last September’s deadly terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya.

Mat Staver, Chairman of Liberty Counsel Action, said: “It is time for the stonewalling to end and for Members of Congress to establish a select committee to uncover the truth. We must determine why four Americans serving in harm’s way were allowed to die on September 11, 2012, at the hands of jihadists without any intervention to help them. We must find out why the Obama Administration described this attack as a random act of violence rather than an organized, jihadist terrorist attack.”
