D.C. Police Arrest Suspect in Shooting Death of Two Israeli Embassy Staff
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Washington, D.C., police have arrested a suspect in the shooting
death of two Israeli Embassy employees late Wednesday. Yaron Lischinsky
and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, who were a couple, were exiting the Capital
Jewish Museum when 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez of Chicago allegedly
opened fire on them. Video of the aftermath shows Rodriguez shouting
"Free Palestine!" as he's led away in handcuffs. After headlines, we'll
go to Tel Aviv to speak with the Israeli journalist Gideon Levy.
