JUAREZ (GLADIATOR SCHOOL) TRAINS CADETS TO BE GUN FIGHTERS

Ciudad Juarez, Mexico -- Four city police officers in Juarez are under investigation for a shooting that wounded a 9 year old boy. Josue Tapia was riding in the back seat of his mother's Ford Escape with Texas plates when the officers allegedly opened fire on the two U.S. citizens.
The boy's mother, Sonia Tapia Cisneros. 35, says the shooting happened moments after officers approached her vehicle and yelled at her. She says she thought  they were warning her to leave a dangerous situation so she drove away quickly.

THEY HAVE HAD 8 COPS KILLED LAST MONTH ALONE !

That's when she says she said the bullets started flying. Tapia thought they were caught in crossfire in a gunfight between police and criminals. She realized they were targets when she  heard her son say, "Mom they hit me."

After he was rushed to the hospital Monday night, police took Tapia into custody. She spent the next two days behind bars instead of at her son's hospital bed.  She faced attempted murder charges when the police officers said armed men were riding in the vehicle with the mother and child.
Tapia and her son are both U.S. citizens. They live in Juarez where she helped start a Christian school.

Juarez police are on edge after a wave of cop killings.In January gun men killed 8 officers. Two more were injured in the most recent attack on Thursday morning.
Last week the police chief ordered his entire force to stay in heavily guarded hotels between shifts.

IRAN TURNS TABLE (BLOWS UP ISRAELI MINISTRY REP ) ? CAR BOMB

Has Iran decided to turn Israeli tactics against Israel?

In a strike virtually identical to attacks on Iranian nuclear scientists, U.S. sources say a passing motorcyclist attached what appeared to be a shaped charge to an Israeli diplomatic vehicle in New Delhi, India. The driver and the wife of Israel's deputy defense ministry representative to India were wounded.

Television footage showed flames pouring from a minivan with its back door blown out. The attack took place at 4 p.m. on Race Track Road, close to the Israeli Embassy.

A single source confirms that a failed attack against an Israeli car in Tblisi, Georgia used a similar method, but the bomb did not detonate. A worker at the embassy alerted local police after seeing a black plastic bag attached to the bottom of the Israeli envoy's car. The bag held a hand grenade.

No attackers have been identified in either incident. An unconfirmed report says that a third Israeli facility in Amsterdam may also have been targeted.

A BREAK FROM THE CRIME (AIN'T NO SUNSHINE ) BILL WITHERS

ROBERT FISHER (KILLER) WORSE THEN JOSH POWELL (ON THE RUN SINCE 2001)

On the morning of April 10, 2001, police and fire units responded to reports of an explosion at the Fisher residence in Scottsdale, Ariz. The fire burned for hours and when it was finally  extinguished, officials made a gruesome discovery inside the rubble -- the bodies of 38-year-old Mary Fisher, 12-year-old Britteny and ten-year-old Bobby Jr.

STONE COLD KILLER

To make matters worse, authorities quickly determined that the mother and children did not die in the fire, they had been murdered in their beds the night before.  Mary was shot in the back of the head and her throat had been sliced.  The children's necks were also slashed.  Arson investigators said that the house was rigged to blow because a lit candle was left in the home and the gas furnace had been disconnected.
Most shocking of all, the main suspect was none other than head of the Fisher family, Robert Fisher.  Cops believe that when Mary Fisher confronted her husband about a ending their marriage, Fisher decided to avoid a messy divorce and simply wiped the slate clean by killing his family.
Police tell AMW that Fisher fled soon after the murders, taking his wife's SUV and the family dog, a Queensland Heeler named "Blue."

IRAN CUTS OFF (INTERNET ACCESS) anti -government PROTEST planned 2-11

 IRAN has cut off access to the Internet, leaving millions of people without access to e-mail and social networks.

An individual inside the country confirmed this morning that Gmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo email are no longer available. Ditto for Facebook. So far, the government has not made any announcement about the service interruption.
But cyber-sophisticated Iranians are still able to circumvent the government by using proxy servers over VPN connections.

"The interesting thing is that when asked, they deny the fact that all these services are all blocked," an Iranian contacted by CNET said. This individual asked to remain unidentified.
However, the Iranian noted that the regime has cut off the Internet during protests and that the buzz on the streets is that anti-government protests are planned for Saturday. February 11 marks the anniversary of Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution

31 YEAR OLD MICHEAL CRANE ARRESTED (FOR MURDER AND KILLING ARIZONA COUPLE)

PARADISE VALLEY, Ariz. (AP) - A 31-year-old man has been arrested and faces murder charges in the death of an Arizona couple found tied up and burned beyond recognition, and four others have also been arrested in the case, police said Tuesday.
The bodies of Lawrence and Glenna Shapiro, well-to-do philanthropists in their 70s, were discovered on Jan. 30 in their stylish home in the affluent Phoenix suburb of Paradise Valley.
Until Tuesday, Paradise Valley police had released few details about the bizarre crime, including whether the Shapiros were robbed or what they think the motive might have been.
Police said Michael Crane would face two murder charges, as well as kidnapping, armed robbery, arson and burglary charges. The other four suspects were facing theft or trafficking in stolen property charges.
The murders were the first in Paradise Valley since 2004 and shook neighbors, police and the town mayor. Police Chief John Bennett said Tuesday that there was no evidence to indicate the Shapiros were specifically targeted.

Earlier Tuesday, family and friends gathered in a packed downtown Phoenix theater for a memorial service for the couple.

JOSH POWELL ( KILLS HIMSELF AND TWO KIDS) MISSING SUSAN POWELLS KIDS

Authorities believe an explosion and fire at the home of Josh Powell has killed him and his two children.

Police are awaiting verification from the Medical Examiner’s Office, but they believe the three dead are the husband of missing Utah woman Susan Powell and their two children, said Ed Troyer of the Pierce County Sheriff’s Office.

The explosion occurred moments after a Child Protective Services worker brought the two boys to the home for a supervised visit, said Graham Fire and Rescue Chief Gary Franz.

Powell let the boys in the house, then blocked the social worker from entering. The social worker called her supervisors to report that she could smell gas, and the home exploded.

"Everything we know right now, this has become a crime scene," Franz said.

Last week, a judge ordered that Powell’s sons, Charlie, 7 and Braden, 5, remain in the custody of their grandparents, Chuck and Judy Cox.

The boys were removed from Josh Powell’s custody on Sept. 22, the same day Josh Powell’s father, Steve Powell, with whom the three were living, was arrested and charged for possessing child pornography.

Josh Powell has denied any role in his wife’s disappearance and recently asked the judge to move his sons to a neutral caretaker, claiming his missing wife’s parents — who have publicly implicated Josh Powell in their daughter’s disappearance — are turning their two sons against him.

Susan Powell was reported missing Dec. 7, 2009. Her husband told police he last saw his wife around midnight, when he put their sons in the family’s minivan and took them on a late-night camping trip in Utah’s west desert.

West Valley City Police Chief Buzz Nielson told Fox13 News he was sending a team of police officers up to Washington Sunday and he would go up on Monday.
