| In new hostage policy, U.S. will not prosecute families for paying ransom | | | The White House on Wednesday released a new policy aimed at becoming more sensitive to the needs of families of U.S. hostages held abroad, saying the government needed to "evolve" to take account of a shift in the way groups take captives. After a six-month review that included discussions with families of people held overseas, the White House said the government will continue its longstanding policy of not making concessions to hostage-takers. The government may communicate with hostage-takers and intermediaries, and it may help families who are trying to pay ransom, the White House said. |

The same federal jury that earlier this year found Tsarnaev, 21, guilty of killing four people and injuring 264 in the bombing and its aftermath voted in May to sentence him to death by lethal injection. Rebekah Gregory, who lost her left leg in one of the highest-profile attacks on U.S. soil since Sept. 11, 2001, addressed Tsarnaev directly. |

Aissa Zanzen, spokesman for the Council of Moroccan Mosques in the Netherlands, called Wilders' action, using public broadcast time allocated to political parties, a publicity stunt. "Wilders is out to provoke Muslims and he has done everything he can to do that," he said. Wilders, in a broadcast coinciding with the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, introduced the three-minute broadcast, in the second half of which the cartoons scrolled across the screen accompanied by piano music.

| Computer error a possible cause of Poland airline outage - prosecutors | | | Polish prosecutors are looking into whether the outage which grounded dozens of jets operated by Polish airline Lot at Warsaw's main airport on Sunday may have been caused by a computer system error, a spokesman for the Warsaw prosecutor's office said on Wednesday. The prosecutor's spokesman said computer error was one of the versions being examined. Asked about the possibility of computer error having been the cause, the carrier's spokesman said on Wednesday: "The current state of our knowledge indicates that outside interference must have taken place." Around 1,400 passengers were stranded at Warsaw's Chopin airport when the flight plan system went down for around five hours on Sunday. |
