TERRORISM ARRESTS
Three arrested: The three men arrested yesterday, accused of wanting to join ISIS in Syria, apparently had big plans. The New York men wanted to hijack a plane (and give it to ISIS) and join the U.S. military to kill soldiers, the FBI said. The men also allegedly talked of assassinating President Obama. One of the men was arrested trying to catch a flight to Turkey. His lawyer accused the government of resorting to “ham-fisted tactics.”

Jury pool: Now that a jury pool has been picked, the trial of accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev could start next week. The jury pool of 70 was culled from 256 people, who were questioned for 21 days. A final jury could be in place by the middle of next week if all goes well. The jury will decide if Tsarnaev is guilty of the April 15, 2013, bombings, which killed three people near the finish line of the marathon.
