Headline : Mayor: 1 dead in Passover 'hate crime'

A rabbi at the synagogue near San Diego, California, called for unity and prayed for peace even after getting shot, a congregant says

(CNN) - A 19-year-old man was in custody after a shooting at a synagogue in the California city of Poway left at least one person dead and several others wounded, Mayor Steve Vaus said Saturday.

The shooting, which Vaus described as a possible hate crime, occurred at Congregation Chabad on the last day of Passover.

President Donald Trump, speaking outside the White House Saturday, told reporters, "At this moment it looks like a hate crime, but, my deepest sympathies to all of those affected and we'll get to the bottom of it."

Sri Lanka bomb suspect's sister fears 18 relatives dead after attacks

Headline : Sri Lanka suspect's sister fears 18 relatives are dead

Sri Lanka (CNN) - The sister of the suspected ringleader of Sri Lanka's deadly Easter Sunday bombings has told CNN up to 18 of her family members are missing and feared dead since the attacks and subsequent raids.

More than 250 people were killed and at least 500 injured in a series of coordinated suicide bombings at churches and hotels across the island April 21.

A week on, the country is still on high alert with warnings there could be more attacks in the coming days, MPs told CNN Sunday.

Mohamed Hashim Mathaniya is the sister of Mohamed Zahran Hashim, the man Sri Lankan authorities believe was one of the leaders of the attacks.

He appeared in a video released by an ISIS-linked news agency before blowing himself up on Easter Sunday.

Speaking to CNN on Saturday, Mathaniya said she identified her brother from photographs of his body parts at the police station earlier in the week.

"Five men went missing after the attacks (on Sunday). They were my three brothers, my father, and my sister's husband," she said.

'Why do they want us to leave?'

              Their homes were burned down in racist violence. Instead of helping them, officials told them to flee

불가리아의 가브로보에서 발생한 민족주의자들의 반롬족 시위에 대한 기사이다.

Gabrovo, Bulgaria — When rocks crashed through the windows of their home, the bathroom seemed the safest place to hide. Huddled together, the family of Vasil Velichkow Hristov — including his six young grandchildren — listened as an angry mob chanted threats and racial slurs.

“Come out, Roma, we’ll make soap out of you,” they yelled, according to several people who were nearby at the time.

Once a positive example of integration of the ethnic Roma community in Bulgaria, the northern central city of Gabrovo has been engulfed by racist violence and anti-Roma protests since April 10.

For four consecutive nights ethnic Bulgarians, some armed with metal batons, took to the cobblestone streets to demand that Gabrovo be cleansed of its Roma community. They smashed windows, threatened to kill the Roma, and set their homes on fire, burning to the ground their belongings and leaving the lives they had built here in ruins.
