A security lockdown at the United States Capitol and White House have been lifted after police shot and wounded a man who "presented" a weapon at the Capitol visitors center.  A female civilian was also hurt and taken to hospital.  Some media reports identify the man as Larry Russell Dawson of Antioch, Tennessee.  Federal court documents indicate he was already known to capital police for earlier disturbances in which he claimed to be a "prophet of god".

Belgium released the only person arrested and charged in the 22 March Bombings for lack of evidence.  Identified by officials as "Faycal C." and by local media as Faycal Cheffou, he was thought to be the "man in white" seen in CCTV video from Brussels airport just before two bombs went off; another bomb went off in a subway station near the EU headquarters, and officials raised the death toll from the attacks to 35 lives lost.  At least eight other people have been arrested - including suspected Paris attack Salah Abdeslam - but they were charged with other terrorist plots.  Islamic State has been linked to both the Paris and Brussels attacks.

Pakistan's parliament is calling for a crackdown on extremist groups after the bombing in Lahore which killed at least 72 people, and teh Prime Minister is demanding intelligence and police agencies share more information.  Most of the victims were Muslims - although Christian families enjoying a carnival in a park on Easter were the target, according to Taliban splinter group Jamaat-ul-Ahrar which claimed responsibility for the suicide bombings.  Troops are planning operations in Punjab province where the terrorists are believed to be active.

A teenage girl escaped a man who had held her captive for two years in downtown Tokyo, and police arrested the suspect despite his botched suicide attempt.  Now 15-years old, the girl showed up in a train station over the weekend and used a pay phone to call her parents, two years after disappeared off the street in Saitama, a bland residential suburb north of the megalopolis.  The parents called police and they tracked the suspect to Akihabara, retail district famous for electronics and Japan's nerdy anime and manga fans.  There are serious concerns about this case, not least of which because it is the second such long term kidnapping in Tokyo in recent years; and also because the suspect moved between tiny Tokyo apartments during the two years without neighbors noticing.

Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro isn't having any of his brother President Raul Castro's drive to normalize relations with the United States.  In a lengthy letter appearing in the official newspaper of the Cuban Communist Party Granma, 89-year old Fidel said Cuba didn't need any gifts from the "empire".  He reminded Cubans of US provocations, including "mercenary attacks on Cuban ships and ports, an airliner full of passengers blown up in midair, mercenary invasions, multiple acts of violence and coercion".  

A former president of Honduras is admitting he took bribes as part of the FIFA scandal.  Rafael Callejas pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges on Monday in federal court in New York City.  He was president in the early 1990s, but the indictment alleged that in 2012 he took US$500,000 from a marketing firm in exchange for broadcasting rights to qualifier matches for the 2022 World Cup.

Israel has backed down in a diplomatic standoff with Brazil.  Seven months ago, President Dilma Rousseff refused to accept Israel's choice of ambassador to Brasilia Dani Dayan because he is a former leader of settlers in Palestinian territories.  Israel has finally withdrawn the nomination and reassigned Mr. Dayan to be Israel's consul general in New York.  Brazil is Israel's largest trading partner in South America, but relations have been tense since 2010, when Brazil said it recognised Palestinian statehood in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem.
