US Lawmakers Worry Over IS Social Media Successby webdesk@voanews.com (Jeff Seldin)
Setbacks on the battlefield seem to be doing little to dent the success the Islamic State is having in the world of social media, U.S. officials say. “Hundreds, maybe thousands of people across the country who are receiving recruitment overtures from the terrorist group or directives to attack the United States,” FBI Director James Comey said Thursday in a meeting with reporters. And that’s prompting a new outcry from U.S. lawmakers, who say Washington’s online strategy is...

Experts: Texas Shooting Sign of 'Lone Wolf' Attacks to Comeby webdesk@voanews.com (Reuters)
Attacks like Sunday's shooting at a Texas event featuring cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad are a bigger threat in the United States than any by foreign fighters returning radicalized from Syria or Iraq, security experts told a U.S. Senate panel. The so-called lone wolf attackers will be American, inspired by the Islamic State militant group, radicalized online and have easy access to guns, Peter Bergen of the New America Foundation think tank said at a Senate hearing. They often will have had no physical contact with recruiters, Bergen added. "Sunday's attack is a harbinger of what we will see in the future," Bergen told the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Thursday. U.S. investigators are examining the influence of Islamic State on the two men shot to death by authorities after they opened fire in Garland, Texas. There is no evidence either man traveled to Syria or Iraq but they exchanged Twitter messages with Cybercaliphate, an Islamic State affiliate. The success of Islamic State in using social media as a recruiting tool was outlined at the hearing. "Its innovative and aggressive approach has afforded it an unprecendented level of success, and its activities will likely provide a template for future extremist initiatives," said J.M. Berger, an analyst at the Brookings Institution think tank. Among more traditional recruiting methods, Islamic State has pursued purely online recruiting initiatives, he testified. Berger said the militant group's supporters online had openly urged attacks on Sunday's event featuring Mohammad cartoons, which are considered offensive by many Muslims. But it is extremely difficult to anticipate when such online "noise" will translate into a specific attack, he said. The New America Foundation identified 62 people in the United States from public records or news accounts as having tried to join militant groups in Syria, Bergen said. Of those, he said, there were no clear cases of physical recruitment by a militant operative, radical cleric, returning foreign fighter or radicalization in prison. He said of the 62, only 19 reached Syria, where eight died. "Syria is proving as much of a graveyard as a launchpad for such attacks," Bergen said. The experts agreed there was no single profile for would-be attackers. The sole common element: social media. "Militants in the United States today radicalize after reading and interacting with propaganda online and have little or no physical interaction with other extremists," Bergen testified.

Sources: German Spies Curb Internet Snooping for US After Row by webdesk@voanews.com (Reuters)
Germany has halted its Internet surveillance for the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) in response to a row over the BND intelligence agency's cooperation with Washington, German intelligence sources said on Thursday. Allegations that the BND has helped the NSA spy on European officials and firms has put strains on Angela Merkel's governing coalition with the Social Democrats (SPD) and could damage U.S. relations and even the conservative chancellor's own popularity. An INSA poll on Wednesday showed that 62 percent of Germans think the BND row threatens Merkel's credibility. Ultimate responsibility for the BND lies with her office. German intelligence sources told Reuters that the BND's station in Bad Aibling this week stopped sending the NSA information garnered from Internet surveillance. In coordination with the chancellery, the BND decided that the NSA from now on had to give a detailed explanation for each spying request regarding persons or institutions, the sources said. The step, also reported by German media, was taken after the NSA refused to provide clear justification of each request for surveillance of individuals or organizations, a condition agreed by the BND and chancellor's office. The condition is already required for fax or phone surveillance. The BND and German government declined to comment. Surveillance is a sensitive issue in Germany because of the extensive snooping by the Stasi secret police in Communist East Germany and by the Gestapo in the Nazi era. Revelations by former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden about wide-ranging NSA espionage in Germany caused public outrage when they first surfaced a couple of years ago. The SPD has put Merkel in the spotlight over the allegations and wants the list of "selectors", including IP addresses, search terms and names which the BND had been tracking for the NSA, to be made public. These are widely seen as being crucial to establishing whether the BND was at fault in helping the NSA. So far Merkel has ruled that out, saying it must be agreed with the United States, and she has defended cooperating with U.S. agencies to fight international terrorism. She says she would answer questions by a German parliamentary committee. A close Merkel ally, Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere, has faced calls to resign but denies he lied to parliament over the BND's cooperation with the NSA.

Study: Measles Can Weaken Immune System as Long as 3 Years by webdesk@voanews.com (VOA News)
A new study says measles can continue to weaken the body's immune system for up to three years, much longer than previously known. Researchers in the journal Science say measles plays havoc with what they call "immune amnesia," a phenomenon that destroys the immune system's ability to remember how to fight off other illnesses, including pneumonia and meningitis. Princeton University professor Jessica Metcalf, a co-author of the study, said that "in other words, if you get measles, three years down the road, you could die from something that you would not die from had you not been infected with measles." But the researchers did have some good news: They found that vaccinating children against measles led to a drop in deaths from other potentially deadly infections. They encourage parents to give children a measles shot, calling it "one of the most cost-effective interventions for global health."
US Justice Department to Investigate Baltimore Policeby webdesk@voanews.com (VOA News)
The U.S. Justice Department will investigate possible civil rights violations by the Baltimore Police Department, officials said Thursday, following the death of a black man while under police custody. The officials, who spoke under the condition of anonymity, told several media outlets that Attorney General Loretta Lynch could announce the civil rights investigation as soon as Friday. Lynch, who took office last week, strongly hinted during a congressional hearing Thursday that a Justice Department probe was forthcoming. "When there are allegations of wrongdoing made against individual officers and police departments, the Department of Justice has a responsibility to examine the evidence and, if necessary, implement changes," she said. Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake requested the federal probe into her city's police department following the April death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray, who died of a neck injury while in the back of a police van. The city's prosecutor has announced criminal charges, including one murder charge, against six officers involved in the case. The Justice Department is also carrying out a separate probe into the death. It was the latest instance in which black men died by police actions. The cases have worsened racial tensions in the U.S. and raised renewed concerns about excessive force and racial discrimination by police. A similar federal investigation into last year's fatal police shooting of an unarmed, 18-year-old black man found a pattern of civil rights violations by the Ferguson Police Department in the state of Missouri. The Department of Justice also announced late last year there was reasonable cause to believe the Cleveland Division of Police in Ohio engaged in a pattern or practice of the use of excessive force. During her congressional testimony, Lynch said such situations involve a core responsibility of the Department of Justice. She said it is not only the role of the department to combat illegal conduct when it occurs, but to help prevent the circumstances that give rise to it in the first place. The attorney general added that although Baltimore has made "significant strides,” more may need to be done. “I assure you senators that I am listening to all voices,” she said. Lynch said a federal training initiative called Collaborative Reform, which can be used to improve police procedures involving the use of force, began last year in Baltimore at the request of the Baltimore Police Department. "It’s important to note I think that Collaborative Reform has been a very successful tool throughout the country,” Lynch said. She also said there has been a lot of engagement since then between the police and the Baltimore community on ways to improve the city's police department. U.S. Senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland suggested the Department of Justice consider mandating training on ethnic and racial bias, and the use of force before federal funds are made available to local law enforcement.

YONKERS, N.Y. - An NYPD psychologist accused of shooting her husband as he slept has been indicted on attempted murder and other charges.
The Journal News says Emily Dearden is scheduled to be arraigned next week in Westchester County Court. She remains free on $150,000 bail.
The 46-year-old is accused of shooting her real estate developer husband, 47-year-old Kenneth Dearden, in November 2013 in their Yonkers home. She was arrested a year later.
Just weeks before her arrest, her husband filed a lawsuit alleging she tried to kill him because she had been having an affair since 2011 and the man - Warren Roudebush - was pressuring her to end her marriage.
The lawsuit alleged Roudebush flew from his home in Texas to New York the day of the shooting and that Emily Dearden met with him the next day before going to the hospital to see her husband.
Emily Dearden reportedly filed for divorce nine months after the shooting. The couple has two daughters.
An attorney for Emily Dearden says she "unequivocally denies the charges" and is confident she'll be acquitted.
She faces a minimum of five years and maximum of 25 years in prison on the top two charges, attempted murder and first-degree assault. She is also charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and four counts of criminal possession of a firearm, reports the paper.
After her arrest, Emily Dearden was suspended from her job, which involved screening candidates for the NYPD. She reportedly remains suspended but is being paid.

NEW YORK - A former senior psychologist with the NYPD has been arrested and charged with trying to kill her husband last year.
Emily Dearden, 46, of Yonkers, N.Y., turned herself in to authorities on Friday. She is charged with attempted second-degree murder.
The arrest comes just weeks after Emily Dearden's husband, Kenneth, 47, filed a lawsuit against heralleging she shot him in the back of he head as he slept last year so that she could be with her lover.
According to the lawsuit, which was filed in Westchester County, Kenneth Dearden,a prominent real estate developer, awoke at around 4 a.m. on Nov. 14, 2013 to a "searing pain in his jaw" and his pillow covered in blood.
Not realizing he had been shot, he made his way downstairs in the Yonkers, N.Y. home he shared with his wife, Emily, and their two daughters. He found his wife lying on the floor of their family room, with her eyes closed, claiming she had been hit on the head, the lawsuit says.
CBS New York
Police were called and when they arrived, Kenneth Dearden told them he thought an intruder broke into the house - something authorities were readily skeptical of since there were no signs of forced entry, the home alarm hadn't sounded and the family's dog hadn't reacted, the suit says.
It wasn't until Kenneth Dearden was transported to the hospital that it was realized he had been shot and authorities returned to the home to investigate further, according to the lawsuit.
Kenneth Dearden alleges in the suit that his wife was the perpetrator.
Dearden says she "failed to check on her children to make sure that they were safe" in the aftermath of the incident, and that "instead she chose to go downstairs to the basement alone," where pistols that were given to Emily by her parents were later found by police.
The caliber of bullet from one of those pistols was consistent with the caliber of bullet removed from Kenneth Dearden's head, the suit alleges.
The lawsuit also says Emily Dearden chose to remain at the house while her husband was transported to the hospital, and when police returned soon after to further investigate, they found her washing the clothes she had been wearing. She also asked police if they had a warrant, according to the suit.
Furthermore, the lawsuit alleges Emily Dearden had been having an affair with a man from Texas named Warren David Roudebush and that he had flown to New York the day of the shooting. Emily met with Roudebush the next day before going to the hospital to see her husband, the suit claims.
Emily Dearden was being pressured by Roudebush to end her marriage so that they could be together, the lawsuit alleges. CBS New York reports Emily Dearden filed for divorce nine months after the shooting of her husband.
Emily Dearden was relieved of her position as a senior psychologist for the NYPD several months ago and was assigned to administrative duties. The NYPD said Friday that she was suspended following her arrest.
During her arraignment Friday, a judge set her bail at $150,000, which she posted immediately, and ordered her to stay away from Kenneth Dearden and their two daughters, reports the Journal News.
