Former U.S. president George W. Bush watches before the start of the MLB American between the Rangers and White Sox in Arlington, TexasBy Joseph Ax NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York man sitting in a car that had a loaded rifle, machete and a container of gasoline was charged on Friday with threatening to kill George W. Bush after professing a romantic interest in the former president's oldest daughter, prosecutors said. Benjamin Smith, 44, of upstate New York was arrested in Manhattan by the U.S. Secret Service, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court. "Bush will get his," Smith screamed as he was taken into custody, according to the complaint. Later, when asked about his marital status, he told agents he was divorced and "working on a relationship with Barbara Bush." At a preliminary hearing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrea Griswold told U.S. Magistrate Judge Henry Pitman the government believes Smith was referring to the former president's daughter and not Bush's mother, who shares the same name.

Venezuelan bikers protest nighttime riding ban despite high crime 
Friday, Jan 31, 2014 01:26 PM PST
Motorcyclists take part in a protest against possible regulation and schedule bans as a measure to combat insecurity in CaracasBy Daniel Wallis CARACAS (Reuters) - Nearly 2,000 motorcyclists protested in Caracas on Friday, hooting horns and waving Venezuelan flags outside a government office to show displeasure with a ban on nighttime riding, which has been imposed to cut crime in one of the world's most dangerous cities. Stung by criticism of numerous failed efforts to make the streets safer, this month officials in Caracas and other areas made it illegal to ride a motorcycle after 9 p.m. The so-called "motorizados," a term applied mostly to couriers and motorbike taxi drivers, gathered in the Petare slum before riding to the peaceful demonstration. "The only solution is for them to let us get on with our work ... not one motorizado is in favor of the new regulations." The protest dispersed after the bikers delivered a letter to the National Institute for Terrestrial Transport, and an official came onto the street to hear their complaints. For many in Venezuela's opposition and middle-class, the motorizados are the frightening face of crime.

A former gang member attends a mentoring session at St Paul's church in east London, on August 17, 2011London's top crime gangs are expanding their operations around the country, the Metropolitan Police said on Friday. In an announcement coinciding with fresh raids on gang targets around Britain, the Met said some 54 London gangs have "tentacles" in other towns and cities in a search for profits in underserved markets, the BBC reported. "What we are noticing is that gangs are spreading their wings, so rather than working in London, they are going into the counties, even Scotland, to deal drugs. So basically it's an expanding trade," Detective Chief Inspector Tim Champion, from the Met's Operation Trident gang crime command, told BBC Radio 4.

Christie issues denial as 'Bridgegate' scandal flares up anew 
Friday, Jan 31, 2014 04:14 PM PST
File photo of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie before delivering an address after being sworn in for his second term as governorBy Edith Honan and Chris Francescani NEW YORK (Reuters) - A former New Jersey official on Friday claimed Governor Chris Christie knew about politically motivated traffic jams as they happened, re-igniting a political scandal that has taken a toll on the prominent Republican. The letter from a former official at the agency that oversees the busiest U.S. bridge sparked a quick response from Christie, who again denied wrongdoing, and prompted a top New Jersey newspaper to suggest the governor could face impeachment. David Wildstein, who resigned his Port Authority post late last year, said in a letter that he had proof of the "inaccuracy" of some of Christie's statements about the so-called "Bridgegate" scandal, which polls show has already started to weigh on Christie's potential 2016 White House bid. Since the scandal first came to light, Christie has denied knowing the cause of the George Washington Bridge lane closings, which occurred after the mayor of Fort Lee declined to endorse the governor in a re-election bid and caused four days of massive traffic jams in that city.
