Be true that a second american died in the same incident as Douglas Macarthur mccain. If that is true, it could be part of a troubling trend that puts the u. S. At risk for a possible attack. Were trying to find out a lot more, clearly. We know dozens and dozens of americans are potentially becoming radicalized and going over and fighting with groups like isil and thats worrysome enough. But when we talk about the potential immediacy of the threat of isil, thats one of the factors that were talking about, this idea that foreign fighters could go over there, get radicalized, get equipped, get trained and come back to their home lands whether its the United States or any other western nation.

The prosecutors claims he went home, got a gun, came back to the scene and shot banda in the head. But in the end, the jury acquitted barajas and the father emerged to applause as he spoke to family and media. How does it feel, david . A lot of weight lifted off my back. Im still destroyed. Im missing my sons. Always and forever. Its been a lot of weight lifted. But im still hurt. Im still hurt, very hurt.
