Just keeping score on what the government considers terrorism.

The man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare's CEO has been charged with murder as an act of terrorism, prosecutors said Tuesday as they worked to bring him to a New York court from a Pennsylvania jail.

Luigi Mangione already was charged with murder in the Dec. 4 killing of Brian Thompson, but the terror allegation is new.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said Thompson's death on a midtown Manhattan street "was a killing that was intended to evoke terror. And we've seen that reaction." - CBC

Israel formally announced the filing of official appeals against the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) decision to issue arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

The appeals were filed by the Attorney General’s Office on Friday, claiming procedural problems in the decision to issue arrest warrants, including a lack of jurisdiction.

Both Israel and the United States have rejected the validity of the ICC arrest warrants, especially as neither country is a member of the Rome Statute which established the ICC’s jurisdiction over member states.
