Accused Los Angeles airport shooter could face death penalty  Saturday, Nov 02, 2013 06:58 PM PDT By Alex Dobuzinskis and Dana Feldman LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The 23-year-old man accused of opening fire at Los Angeles International Airport, killing an airport security officer and wounding three other people, could face the death penalty after being charged with murder on Saturday, a federal prosecutor said. Paul Anthony Ciancia was charged with murder of a federal officer and committing violence at an international airport, U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte told reporters a day after the shooting that touched off panic and chaos at the world's sixth busiest airport. Ciancia carried a signed note that called Transportation Security Administration officers "traitorous" and he targeted them during his rampage at the airport's Terminal 3, FBI special agent in charge David Bowdich said. Ciancia was dropped off at the airport, said Bowdich, who declined to say if the FBI knew who drove the suspected gunman there. Full Story	Top

Fugitive eco-activist says granted Australian visa  Saturday, Nov 02, 2013 12:28 PM PDT Fugitive eco-warrior Paul Watson says he has been granted an Australian visa, but explained that he cannot for the moment lead anti-whaling campaigning, due to legal action. The 62-year-old Canadian, who arrived in the United States this week after 15 months on the run at sea, said he was confident that his Sea Shepherd organization's campaign was in good hands. "Australia granted my visa this week and it is wonderful to realize that I am now welcome to return to Australia when I so choose to do so," he said in an update on his Facebook page, posted late Friday local time. "I will however not be leading Operation Relentless nor will I be involved in the campaign," he said, adding that he was "prohibited" from campaigning by a US court injunction, even if he is fighting it.
