Thirteen female correction officers helped a dangerous national gang operate a drug-trafficking and money-laundering scheme from behind bars that involved cash payments, sex and access to fancy cars, federal prosecutors said.
Police reportedly recovered the body missing Brown University student Sunil Tripathi from the Providence River.Authorities told the Boston Globe that it is "very possible" that the body they found on Tuesday is that of 22-year-old Tripathi, who has been missing since March 16. Tripathi was also in the news last week when Reddit - a social news and entertainment website- misidentified him as one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects. Later on in the week, the two suspects of the bombings were that of the Tsarnaev brothers.
Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was an ardent reader of jihadist websites and extremist propaganda, U.S. officials said on Tuesday, adding another piece to the body of evidence they say suggests the two brothers were motivated by an anti-American, radical Islam.
