Suspect in Michigan Walmart stabbings is charged with a rarely used state terrorism count

Toronto Star4 days ago
DETROIT (AP) — A Michigan prosecutor filed a terrorism charge Monday against a man accused of stabbing 11 people at a Walmart store. The charge has been rarely used in the state's courts since it was adopted more than 20 years ago during the national outrage over 9/11.
Grand Traverse County Prosecutor Noelle Moeggenberg said she believes the charge fits because the weekend attack was intended to 'put fear in the entire community and to change how maybe we operate on a daily basis.'

His home in Anaconda had already been cleared by a SWAT team, according to the Granite County Sheriff's office. Anaconda is about 75 miles (120 kilometres) southeast of Missoula. The owner of the Firefly Cafe in Anaconda said she locked up her business at about 11 a.m. Friday after getting alerted to the shooting by a friend. Two hours later, she was still waiting for an all clear before reopening. 'We are Montana, so guns are not new to us. For our town to be locked down, everybody's pretty rattled,' cafe owner Barbie Nelson said. 'It's a small town, so we all probably know someone who was there' at the shooting. she added.

Moussa Mara's arrest is the latest in a crackdown on dissent by Mali's military rulers following the country's first pro-democracy rally since soldiers seized power nearly four years ago.
