LAS VEGAS (AP) — A white supremacist will plead guilty to a federal weapon possession charge in a case alleging he planned to bomb a Las Vegas synagogue or shoot people at at a fast food restaurant or a bar catering to LGBTQ customers.
The parents of the man accused in the attack on the Poway synagogue in San Diego have condemned the attack as shocking and evil. A family attorney says they will not pay for his legal defense.
The Nazi symbol was spray-painted over a Star of David on a campus memorial to the 11 people killed last month at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pennsylvania.
The synagogue is "very important," says an archaeologist, "not only for Jews but all people living in Lithuania." Just 3,000 Jews are left in the capital, compared to some 70,000 before World War II.
Houses of worship struggle with how to be inclusive of people with disabilities. An ambitious effort in Chicago is part of a nation-wide movement to help synagogues be more welcoming.
