Manhunt Ongoing for Boston Marathon Bombing Suspect

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev

Law enforcement agencies are on the hunt for nineteen year old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. He and his brother, Tamerlan, twenty-six, are the FBI's suspects for the Boston Marathon bombings. The two brothers moved to the US from Chechnya, in 2003. Police had been searching for the two, since they were identified on Thursday.

Then late Thursday night, they robbed a 7-Eleven; shot and killed MIT Police Officer Sean Collier, twenty-six; and then carjacked a vehicle. Police chased them from Cambridge to Watertown.

During the chase, the suspects threw explosives out of the car and shots were exchanged wounding Richard H. Donahue Jr., a transit police officer. Donahue is in critical condition. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed shooting it out with police. In the middle of the confusion, Dzhokhar escaped on foot.

Authorities have been searching the area for him since that time. Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick has ordered the city of Boston to be placed on lock down. All mass transit has been shut down, businesses have been asked to remain closed, and residents asked to stay inside their homes.

An explosive substance was mailed to the office of German president Joachim Guack, on Friday.

Police intercepted the letter during routine screening.

A bomb squad was called in and they safely disposed of it.

Serbia Begins Acknowledging Kosvo's Independence

Kosovo and Serbia agreed on details that are the first steps in the recognition of Kosovo's independence.

Under the new agreement Kosovo is recognized as having it's own police force and judicial system.

They had been trying to gain full recognition, but Serbia won't have that.

Serbia still denies that they are independent, but the independence has been enforced by NATO and the UN.

Both countries are trying to gain entry into the EU, and hope that a show of working together will help them in the quest.

Pakistani Police Arrest Former President Musharraf

Pakistani police arrested former president Pervez Musharraf, on Friday.

Thursday saw him flee court after he was charged with treason.

The High Court said he committed treason by violating the Constitution, in 2007.

In 2007, Musharraf suspended the Constitution and put the country under emergency rule.

Musharraf's lawyers are appealing to the Supreme Court, over the matter.

Remarkably, Pakistan's military has remained silent, as they watch their former chief brought up on charges.

In May, Pakistan will have an election that will see the first transition ever between civilian governments.
