(VIDEO) UPDATE: Boston Marathon Bombing Suspect Photos Released; FBI Searching For 'Suspect 1' And 'Suspect 2'

Authorities released photographs of two individuals -- identified as "Suspect 1" and "Suspect 2" -- wanted in connection to the pair of deadly blasts at the Boston Marathon finish line Monday.

The images, revealed from behind two black poster boards, show the two individuals walking through a crowd near Boylston Street moments before the terror attack, which killed three people and wounded at least 180 others.

"These images should be the only ones that the public should use to assist us," FBI Special Agent Richard DesLauriers said in a Thursday press conference, discouraging people from paying attention to unofficial photos published in the mainstream media and on the Internet.

IN JAMAICA: Robbery Shocker - Cops Probe Cayman Link As Businessman, Political Activist Fingered In Multimillion-Dollar Jewellery Heist

Law-enforcement agents probing last week's heist of Rolex watches from Swiss Stores in downtown Kingston have now turned their eyes to the Cayman Islands, where a similar robbery took place and some of the expensive watches transported to Jamaica.

Police investigators believe that the perpetrators behind the theft of the watches in Jamaica are members of a highly organised group. At least 24 watches were reported stolen in Cayman, a number of which ended up in Jamaica, and the police here are working with their counterparts in Cayman to dismantle the group and end the transnational crime.

"Some of the Rolex watches that were stolen in the Cayman Islands recently are here. So we are now looking at previous jewellery-store robberies, especially those which occurred in the Montego Bay area," head of the Flying Squad Unit, Senior Superintendent Cornwall 'Bigga' Ford, disclosed yesterday.

UPDATE: FBI briefing on Boston bombings postponed. The FBI said it “needs more time to prepare” before speaking to the media. Struggling to get their narrative straight in the aftermath of numerous men with backpacks being identified? Photos collated on the 4chan website show numerous images of suspicious individuals wearing large backpacks present at the scene of the Boston Marathon bombings.

Three of the men appear to be Arab or Middle Eastern in appearance, whereas another two of the individuals are white. The images show the men looking away from the marathon runners, talking on cellphones and running from the scene immediately after the blast.

Remains of one of the backpacks are also photographed yards from where one of the bombs exploded. The FBI states that at least one of the pressure cooker devices used in the bombing was housed in a backpack. READ More...

OBAMA: "NRA Willfully lied about the background check bill"... Obama Speaks On Gun Control After Vote Fails (VIDEO)

President Barack Obama's push on gun control suffered a major blow Wednesday when the senate defeated a gun-buyer background check bill put together by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.). The amendment failed 54 to 46, falling short of the 60-vote threshold needed to break a filibuster of the measure.

Shooting Victims

Obama spoke on the failed measure Wednesday evening in the White House rose garden. He took to the podium after Mark Barden, the father of a Newtown victim. "Our hearts are broken, our spirit is not," Barden said. Obama placed blame on the gun lobby during his remarks.

"The gun lobby and its allies willfully lied about the bill," Obama said. The president said the failure of the background check bill "came down to politics." READ More...

(VIDEO) EXPLOSION AT FERTILIZER PLANT in TEXAS: Estimated 70 people dead and hundreds injured. Blast registered 2.1 on recter scale. Read more at www.RulaBrownNetwork.com

WEST, Texas — A massive explosion at a fertilizer plant near Waco on Wednesday injured dozens of people and killed an unknown number of others, leaving the factory a smoldering ruin and leveling buildings for blocks in every direction.

The explosion at West Fertilizer in West, a community about 20 miles north of Waco, happened shortly before 8 p.m. and could be heard as far away as Waxahachie, 45 miles to the north. It sent flames shooting high into the night sky, and rained burning embers, shrapnel and debris down on shocked and frightened residents.

Although authorities said it will be some time before they know the full extent of the loss of life, Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman D.L. Wilson said just after midnight that an unknown number of people had died. READ More...

Vybz Kartel's arresting book, The Voice of the Jamaican Ghetto, co-authored with Michael Dawson of People's Telecom fame, gives a penetrating account of the deadly conditions endured by too many youth who are barely surviving on the margins of Jamaican society.

Claiming the authority of the traditional warner man, Kartel compels his audience to pay attention to his prophetic story. You just can't put the book down.

Kartel's intention is not to entertain but to upset: "As strange as it may sound, I hope you do not enjoy this book. I hope it disturbs you. I hope after reading you realise there is something wrong with Jamaica that needs to be fixed. I hope you will never look at a ghetto person the same again." READ More..

(VIDEO) TERROR SCARE & ATTACK: Letter sent to President Obama tests positive for ricin, officials say.

By Kristen Welker and Erin McClam, NBC News

A letter addressed to President Barack Obama tested positive for the poison ricin and was from the same sender who mailed a letter to a senator that also tested positive, officials told NBC News on Wednesday. The letter to Obama was intercepted at an off-site White House mail facility and was being tested further, a Secret Service official told NBC News. A federal law enforcement official said that the letter was “very similar” to one addressed to Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss.

Federal officials told NBC News that they believe they know who sent the letters, but no arrest was made. Authorities were waiting for further test results. READ More...

Western Consciousness Overloaded With Stars - Coco Tea, Romain Virgo Sacrificed Due To Time Constraint

An overloaded line-up, which resulted in several star performers playing truncated sets and two of the main acts failing to make centre stage, robbed the 25th staging of Western Consciousness of some of its sheen as several patrons left the venue (the Montego Bay Stadium) unhappy when the curtains came down at 6:30 on Sunday morning.

The show, the first such event at the fairly new stadium, started out in a blaze of glory with early acts like Uprising Roots, Karen Smith, A.J. 'Boots' Brown, poet extraordinaire Mutabaruka, the British Invasion - Kiarah Dubwah, True Identity and the veteran King Sounds - Horace Andy, Marcia Griffiths, John Holt, veteran deejay Big Youth, Cherine Anderson and Mr Vegas all delivering sparkling sets.

JUST GOT HERE? THEN GET OUT....REPORTS: Senate Plan Would Deport Undocumented Immigrants Who Arrived After 2011... 'If You Just Got Here And Are Illegal, Then You Can't Stay'

WASHINGTON, April 12 (Reuters) - U.S. senators crafting an immigration bill have agreed that foreigners who crossed the U.S. border illegally would be deported if they entered the United States after Dec. 31, 2011, a congressional aide said on Friday.

The legislation by a bipartisan group of senators would give the estimated 11 million immigrants living in the United States illegally a way to obtain legal status and eventually become U.S. citizens, provided certain measures are met. But of the unauthorized immigrants, those who entered after the December 2011 cut-off date would be forced to go back to their country of origin, said the aide, who was not authorized to speak publicly because the bill is still being negotiated.

GUNS, GUNS: 6-Y-O Boy Dies After Being Shot By 4-Y-O

6-Y-O Boy Dies After Being Shot By 4-Y-O

NEW JERSEY, (AP):NEW JERSEY, (AP):

A six-year-old boy who was accidentally shot in the head by a four-year-old playmate has died from his wounds, authorities said Tuesday night.

Ocean County prosecutor's office spokesman Al Della Fave confirmed Brandon Holt had died, but said he couldn't provide further details. Toms River Police Chief Michael Mastronardy said Holt was pronounced dead at 5 p.m. Tuesday, nearly 24 hours after the shooting occurred in a neighbourhood that residents described as "very quiet".

The four-year-old, whose name was withheld, was not injured.

Prosecutor Joseph Coronato, speaking earlier Tuesday at a news conference, said the boy got the .22-calibre rifle from his home and it discharged accidentally Monday evening. The children, whose families live in the neighbourhood, were about 15 yards apart.

Cali P To Give 'Reggae Talk' At UWI....The increasingly popular 'Reggae Talks' at the University of theWest Indies (UWI), Mona, continue today at 7 p.m. in the Neville Hall Lecture theatre (N1).

The increasingly popular 'Reggae Talks' at the University of theWest Indies (UWI), Mona, continue today at 7 p.m. in the Neville Hall Lecture theatre (N1).

First it was Jah9, then Protoje, then No-Maddz. This week's speaker is the Swiss reggae artist Cali P, who now lives in Jamaica.

In an exclusive interview with Gleaner writer Jordaine Delahaye, Cali P, whose legal name is Pierre Nanon, said, "I started writing lyrics and singing in Switzerland when I was 14. There were positives and negatives living there. Looking on it as a whole, I had a lot of moments where I really didn't want to be there because I felt unwelcome. Not being white there makes people treat you like a foreigner at all times, and that can get really annoying."

CRICKET LOVELY CRICKET: Jamaica In Full Control - Guyana Demolished For 96

Defending champions Jamaica have taken a commanding lead over Guyana on the second day of their final-round match in the Regional Four-Day Championship at the National Stadium on Thursday.

The Jamaicans lead Guyana by 295 runs with five second-innings wickets in hand after destructive bowling spells from Sheldon Cotterell and Dave Bernard Jr and a 96-run sixth-wicket partnership between Carlton Baugh and Jermaine Blackwood.

At stumps Jamaica, in their second innings, were 183 for five after Guyana imploded for a paltry 96 in their first innings.

The Guyanese had earlier bowled out Jamaica for a first-innings total of 208.

Cotterell exploited overcast conditions to grab four for 31 while Bernard Jr snatched 3 for 18 to engineer a theatrical demise of the Guyana first innings in which five wickets collapsed in the first 30 minutes.

Immigration Bill Could Exclude Hundreds Of Thousands From Citizenship: Senate Aide (VIDEO)

WASHINGTON -- Bipartisan immigration legislation emerging in the Senate could prevent hundreds of thousands of immigrants in the U.S. illegally from ever becoming citizens, according to a Senate aide with knowledge of the proposals.

The bill expected to be unveiled next week would bar anyone who arrived in the U.S. after Dec. 31, 2011, from applying for legal status and ultimately citizenship, according to the aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the proposals had not been announced.

It also would require applicants to document that they were in the country before Dec. 31, 2011, have a clean criminal record, and show enough employment or financial stability that they're likely to stay off welfare. READ More...
