Twin explosions in the Iranian province of Kerman killed dozens and injured hundreds Wednesday at a memorial for top Revolutionary Guards general Qassem Soleimani, who was assassinated in a U.S. drone strike four years ago in Iraq. No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, but Iran has placed blame on Israel and the U.S, while U.S. officials and regional experts have suggested ISIS as the culprit. Our guest, Iranian historian Arash Azizi, discusses the potential sources of the attack, the scale of the tragedy — which occurred on Mother's Day in Iran and may count among its victims civilians visiting their mothers' graves — and fears of wider war in the midst of Israel's ongoing violence in Gaza. Azizi, who has authored a book on Soleimani's assassination, calls the double blast "one of the deadliest — if not the deadliest — attacks of its kind in recent history."
(Reuters) - 2 Colorado paramedics were found guilty of criminally negligent homicide by a jury on Friday for their role in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain, a young Black man who died after police roughly detained him, put him in a choke hold & the medics injected him with a powerful sedative.
The trial of paramedics Jeremy Cooper, 49, & Peter Cichuniec, 51, was the last of three involving the death of McClain, 23, who was stopped by police after a bystander reported he looked suspicious. He was not alleged to have committed any crime.
In addition to finding both men guilty of criminally negligent homicide - punishable by up to 3 years in prison - the jury also found Cichuniec guilty of assault in the second degree for the administration of the sedative.
Judge Mark Warner ordered that Cichuniec be taken into custody immediately, while Cooper remained free on bond pending a March 1 sentencing.
McClain's mother, Sheneen McClain, wept outside the courthouse as a supporter of the McClain family, MiDian Holmes, spoke with reporters on her behalf.
"We do not know justice until we see sentencing," Holmes said. "So Judge Warner you now have a responsibility. We are still seeking justice."
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, also speaking outside the courtroom, said that accountability would not end with the convictions, saying that much more work needs to be done to prevent the deaths of innocents at the hands of police & other first responders.
"Elijah did nothing wrong. His life mattered. He should be with us here today," Weiser said.
The first trial ended with 1 police officer being found guilty of criminally negligent homicide and another acquitted. The second ended with a third officer being acquitted.
