U.S.: Asphyxiation behind Annie Le’s death; more warrants issued

  • Raymond Clark III is still a person of interest. The Yale murder case still doesn’t have a definitive suspect, but all eyes remain on Clark, who was served with two additional search warrants today. Earlier today, authorities said Annie Le died from “traumatic asphyxiation due to neck compression.” Whether or not Clark did it, based on the amount of press coverage he’s gotten, he’s already been convicted by the court of the media. source

World: Aussie authorities try to smoke out a terror cell in Melbourne

  • They were apparently plotting an attack. Sounds like an interesting middle of the night in Melbourne: 400 officers executed 19 search warrants in nine neighborhoods and arrested four people. That’s a lot of officers, a lot of warrants, a lot of places, but not many people arrested. Those arrested (who were Australian nationals, though some of Somalian and Lebanese descent) plotted a suicide attack using semiautomatic weapons. It could have been very bad had the suspects pulled it off, authorities say. source
