UK says Liverpool taxi blast was a bomb, raises threat level
The U.K. government has increased the terror level to severe, meaning an attack is highly likely

LONDON -- British authorities raised the country's threat level to its second-highest rung on Monday, after police said a blast in a taxi outside a Liverpool hospital was caused by a homemade bomb.
Investigators said they were treating Sunday's explosion — which killed the suspected bombmaker and injured the cab driver — as a terrorist incident, but that the motive was unclear.
Counterterrorism police named the dead man as 32-year-old Emad Al Swealmeen. They did not give further details, though Britain’s Press Association news agency and other media reported that he had not been on the radar of the security services.
The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre raised the U.K. threat level from substantial — meaning an attack is likely — to severe, meaning it is highly likely, following the U.K.'s second fatal incident in a month. Conservative lawmaker David Amess was stabbed to death in October in what police said was an act of terrorism.

It is hateful, close minded, prejudiced bigoted bile. I am extremely offended and disgusted that you let CC become a safe haven for such hateful ugly people.
Since ralf is now the accepted norm, I guess I'll simply let myself out and stick with my private group that has been safe for 15 years.
Really, really sad.

9-year-old killed in Richmond quadruple shooting was shot at family-owned store
RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — It was a violent weekend in Richmond with four people killed in just three days; two of them were young children. A 9-year-old and a 14-year-old were gunned down at a convenience store, which has transformed into a growing memorial filled with flowers, candles and teddy bears.
On Friday at 7:30 p.m., Richmond Police swarmed the O.M.G. convenience store at Creighton Road and Nine Mile Road. Four people were hit by gunfire – two men were critically hurt and two young children died.
The family has confirmed with 8News that Abdul Bani-Ahmad, 9, was one of the children who died. A family member says he was incredibly smart and a great brother. Abdul has two younger brothers and an older brother. His family owns the O.M.G. convenience store, which is why the 9-year-old was there on Friday night.
