Letters with 'suspicious substances' sent to US senators and election offices

After a years-long investigation, police in Nevada have identified the remains of the person found stuffed in a corroded barrel near Las Vegas. Police identified the man as Edward "Buddy" Lelburian Jackson. He was found in May 2022 with a gunshot wound to the head. The corroded barrel was exposed in Lake Mead after a severe drought caused water levels to drop. His remains went unidentified until recently, when investigators found his family using DNA, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

The alleged plot only failed because the 19-year-old suspect's gun jammed outside the place of worship, say police.

Ousted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, are seen in a federal court in New York in July. Venezuela's former leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, appeared in court on Thursday to plead not guilty to new charges of conspiracy to commit torture. The US government initially accused Maduro of narco-terrorism, drug trafficking and weapons-related offenses, before adding new charges against him and Flores last week.
