The Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump¹ has called for a temporary but total ban on Muslims entering the US. Mr. Trump said that recent polling showed that many Muslims nursed hatred² towards America. Jenner Bryon is in Washington. “In his statement, Mr. Trump said it was obvious to anybody that the hatred was beyond comprehension. Until the dangerous threat was properly understood, he said America could not become the victim of horrendous³ attacks by people who believe only in Jihad and have no sense of respect for human life. The statement is the strongest anti-Muslim sentiment yet coming from a presidential candidate. It gives no details about how Muslims could be kept out of the country. But as the Republican front runner, Mr. Trump is clearly tapping a disturbing trend in US politics.” The White House said Mr. Trump’s statement was contrary to US values and national security interests.

The FBI has said that the husband and wife who killed 14people in the city of San Bernardino last Wednesday had been radicalized for some time. The FBI says the couple had also taken part in target practice before they opened fire on public health workers. David Willis reports. “Since Wednesday’s attack, the FBI says it has conducted more than 400 interviews and collected 320 pieces of evidence. Some of that evidence, including the pipes that were thought were being used to make pipe bombs, has been transferred to the FBI’s headquarters in Washington DC for analysis. But the crucial question of whether Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik had the backing of an international terrorist organization or were acting⁴ alone remains⁵ unanswered.”

Independent experts in Mexico investigating the disappearance⁷ of 43 students last year saved new evidence which contradicts official versions that a drug gang killed them and burned their bodies. The group said satellite pictures showed no signs of fire at a rubbish dump near where the students were thought to have been murdered. Alejandro Valencia is involved in the investigation⁸. “Satellite monitoring shows only one fire in the state of Guerrero Sep 17, 2014 and it does not correspond to Cocula’s coordinates⁹. That cited report concludes that it did rain in Iguala on Sep 26 and 27 and no fire was detected in the locality of Cocula during those days.” World news from the BBC.
