Boston Bombing ( Kazakh nationals here on school visa's arrested - taken into Custody )

Authorities have arrested three additional suspects in connection to the Boston Marathon bombings, the Boston Police Department confirmed to Yahoo News Tuesday.
A spokeswoman at the department directed all questions related to the suspects to the FBI, which has yet to disclose their identities. Local news station WBZ reports that they will be brought to a federal courthouse in Boston this afternoon to face charges of aiding the suspect after the fact. A spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney in Boston declined to comment.
NBC's Pete Williams reported that the suspects are friends of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's from the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth. The three have been under FBI surveillance for 10 days and are suspected of aiding Tsarnaev after he allegedly committed his crimes. Two have been in custody on immigration charges related to their student visas, while a third, a U.S. citizen, was arrested today.

The Associated Press identified two of the suspects: Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev, both Kazakh nationals who came to the U.S. on student visas. They were detained on civil immigration violations on April 20 and have been in federal custody since then. The two appeared in immigration court Wednesday morning.
Boston attorney Linda Cristello, who represented the two, confirmed in an email to Yahoo News that her clients now face additional federal charges and will appear in court Wednesday afternoon. She referred further questions to a new team of lawyers representing the suspects in this case. One of the attorneys, Harlan Protass, a criminal defense attorney based in New York, declined to comment on the charges until after the court hearing.
Tsarnaev, a 19-year-old college student, is charged with killing three and injuring more than 200 in the two bombs last month. He is in custody at a federal prison medical facility at Fort Devens, 40 miles outside of Boston, where he is being treated for injuries incurred in a shootout with police before his arrest. His older brother and suspected co-bomber, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed while fleeing arrest.
In a statement, the Police Department said there was no threat to public safety at this time.

MIAMI ( Change of Heart - U.S has Granted Castro's Daughter a Visa to attend LGBT Conference )

 Cuban Leader’s Daughter Granted U.S. Visa

MIAMI – The U.S. State Department finally granted a visa to Cuban President Raul Castro’s daughter so that she can attend a May 2-5 forum on LGBT issues in Philadelphia, Equality Forum, the organizer of the seminar, said on Tuesday.

“Equality Forum is delighted that the State Department has affirmed democratic values by authorizing Mariela Castro to speak at Equality Forum 2013,” said Equality Forum executive director Malcolm Lazin in a statement.

Initially, the State Department had denied permission to Mariela Castro to travel to Philadelphia, although it allowed her to travel to the United Nations in New York.

The forum will pay special attention at this conference to the situation of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in Cuba.

Mariela Castro, who is the director of the Cuban National Center for Sex Education, months ago accepted the organization’s invitation to be a panelist on the forum’s “Cuba: Featured Nation Panel.”

During the forum, the daughter of the Cuban president will also receive the International Ally for LGBT Equality Award at the International Equality Dinner to acknowledge her work for the rights of the LGBT community.

Equality Forum is a national and international LGBT civil rights organization with an educational focus. EFE

Japan’s Furukawa to Build Auto Parts Plant in Mexico

TOKYO – Furukawa Electric plans to break ground next month on a new auto parts plant in Mexico to supply Japanese automakers operating in that country, the Japanese business press reported Tuesday.

Furukawa, which supplies products to the automotive, construction, electronics, energy, materials and telecom industries, expects the $12.2 million plant to be finished in January 2014, the Nikkei business daily said.

The company currently has two auto parts plants in Mexico, a plant that produces fiber-optic cable for the telecom industry in Brazil and another plant in Argentina.

Furukawa wants to expand its presence in Latin America and boost sales in the region from $102 million today to $153 million by 2017.

The new plant in Mexico will initially employ 300 people, but the payroll could climb to about 1,000 within a few years, Furukawa said.

Wires and cables produced at the new plant will be sold in Mexico and exported to Latin America and Europe, the company said.

Furukawa also plans to manufacture parts for vehicle air bag systems and battery sensors at the new plant.

Mexico hosts the largest concentration of Japanese corporations in Latin America, with nearly 540 companies, including automotive industry titans Toyota, Nissan, Honda and Mazda, operating in the country. EFE
