Paris Attacks Suspect Abrini Arrested - Belgian Broadcaster VRT

Mohamed Abrini, wanted over November's Islamic State attacks in Paris, has been arrested in Brussels, Belgian public broadcaster VRT said on Friday, adding that he was probably involved in last month's Brussels bombings.

Public prosecutors confirmed in a brief statement only that police had made several arrests related to the Brussels attacks.

Abrini, a 31-year-old Belgian, was "more than likely" the "man in the hat" seen on security camera footage at Brussels airport on March 22 with two suicide bombers, VRT said, citing unidentified sources. A second suspect, believed to have been seen with a third suicide bomber on the metro, was also held.

VRT named the second man as Osama Krayem. It gave no other detail and officials could not be reached for immediate comment.

Abrini has been on Europe's most wanted list since being identified on CCTV video in a car with Salah Abdeslam, the recently arrested prime surviving Paris suspect, two days before the Nov. 13 attacks in the French capital.

The "man in the hat" left the airport shortly after the twin suicide bombing and was tracked on CCTV for several miles into the city centre. On Thursday, investigators released new video footage of him and urged people to look for his discarded coat.

Wearing glasses and a hat, he had been very difficult to identify from the footage showing him pushing a laden luggage trolley alongside the two men who would blow themselves up with similar explosive bags. A third bomb was later found abandoned at the airport.

Abdeslam was arrested in Brussels two weeks ago, four days before Islamic State suicide bombers struck in the city.

CHECK Out This Arsenal Themed Wedding in Malaysia

An Arsenal fan in Malaysia last weekend hosted an extravagant Arsenal themed wedding on the same day Arsene Wenger’s men beat Watford 4-0

The dancefloor was hilariously replaced by a mini football pitch whilst the couple used the Arsenal emblem on their menu.

The newlyweds, who were not wearing any Arsenal gear, were surrounded by plenty who were for a wedding photo at the venue.

3rd in the Premier League table, Arsenal are still just about in the title race but need runaway league leaders Leicester City to slip up big time.

UK's PM,Cameron, Urges Britons Youth To Vote Against Brexit

British Prime Minister David Cameron will urge young Britonson Thursday to make sure they vote in a June 23 referendum on membership of the European Union, warning that leaving the bloc would hit them the hardest.

UK's Cameron urges young Britons to vote against Brexit

With public opinion evenly split, youth voters are expected to play an important role in the referendum outcome because polling shows they are generally more pro-European, but less inclined to vote.

Cameron, who wants Britain to stay in the 28-country bloc, will speak at the launch of a campaign targeted specifically at young voters.

"Get out there. Register. Vote. Tell your parents, grandparents, friends and colleagues: this referendum will really help determine whether your generation is stronger, safer and better off," he will say according to extracts of his speech.

Cameron will argue that young people's job prospects would be disproportionately affected by the economic impact of an EU exit: "Who gets hit hardest by those shocks? Young people," he will say.

Rival "Out" campaigners dismissed that claim, saying that money sent to Brussels under Britain's membership terms was adding to the national debt that would have to be paid off by young workers.

Eurosceptics were also angered by the government's decision to spend 9.3 million pounds ($13.09 million) on 6-page leaflet setting out "why it believes that remaining in the EU is the best decision for the UK."

"This is not the facts, it is a misleading government propaganda campaign," said Vote Leave chairwoman Gisela Stuart.

"The public want an honest debate conducted by two competing sides, not an attempt by the prime minister to buy the referendum result with the public's money."

The leaflet will be sent to every household in the country and promoted online to meet voter demand for more information on how to cast their ballot, the government said. ($1 = 0.7105 pounds)

Porsche Motors Cleared Off Being Responsible For The Crash That Killed Paul Walker

A judge has cleared Porsche of any responsibility for the car crash that killed actor Paul Walker and his friend Roger Rodas. Walker and his friend Roger Rodas died in 2013 when the Porsche Carrera GT they were both in, driven by Rodas crashed into a tree.

Rodas’ widow Kristine went on to sue Porsche alleging that the Carrera GT had various ‘defects’ which resulted in her husband losing control of the car.

Porsche strongly denied all allegations and have now been cleared of any responsibility in the star actor and Roger Rodas’ death. Image result for Porsche motors cleared of any responsibility for the crash that killed Paul Walker

According to TMZ, Kristine’s argument that the car was ill equipped to handle side impact was moot, since the fatal force came from the front when it hit the lamppost – as her own expert confirmed.

US District Judge Philip S. Gutierrez also rejected the front impact argument because ‘Rodas’ fatal injuries occurred when he actually was hurled into Paul Walker.’

He also rejected the fuel cell argument, finding that it was not the cause of the fire, and held that Rodas’ lawyers had not presented evidence demonstrating the crash was caused by a defective suspension.

Her attorney, Mark Geragos has confirmed that the ruling will be appealed.
