House Panel Subpoenas Organisers Of Jan. 6 Trump Rally

Washington (AP) A House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection has subpoenaed 11 officials who were involved in planning rallies in support of former President Donald Trump ahead of the violent attack, including one the day of the siege. The announcement follows a first round of subpoenas last week that targeted former White House and administration officials who were in contact with Trump before and during the insurrection. Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, the chairman of the committee, said in a release that the inquiry includes examination of how various individuals and entities coordinated their activities leading up to the events of January 6. The panel has ramped up its investigation in recent weeks as it attempts to dissect the origins of the insurrection by Trump's supporters and how to prevent it from ever happening again. The Trump loyalists beat and injured police as they battled their way inside the building, destroyed property and sent lawmakers running for their lives. Repeating Trump's lies about widespread election fraud, they interrupted the certification of President Joe Biden's victory and left the U.S. Capitol deeply shaken. (AP) ..

Officials Investigate Fire At Susan B Anthony Home, Museum

New York (AP) Fire officials in Rochester were investigating a fire that damaged the Susan B Anthony Museum & House early Sunday. Firefighters responding to an alarm at approximately 1 am arrived to find the back porch of the museum engulfed in flames. The porch suffered heavy damage, but officials said none of the historical artifacts inside were damaged. The fire department listed the cause of the fire as suspicious. The house, a National Historic Landmark, was built in the mid-18th century and was Anthony's home and also the site of her arrest in 1872 after she cast her ballot in a presidential election. It served as the headquarters of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Anthony died there in 1906, according to the museum's website. In a statement, Battalion Chief Joseph Luna said, "the Rochester Fire Department has long understood the significance that this property holds both to our local community as well as the nation. A great job was done by the firefighters' tonight in limiting the effects of the fire on both the museum and its displays. (AP) ..

Scientists Develop Sensor To Detect Chemicals Used In High-energy Explosives

Indian scientists have for the first time developed a thermally stable and cost-effective electronic polymer-based sensor for rapidly detecting nitro-aromatic chemicals used in high-energy explosives, the Department of Science and Technology (DST) said on Friday. The detection of explosives without destroying them is essential for protection, and criminal investigations, minefield remediation, military applications, ammunition remediation sites, security applications, and chemical sensors play a vital role in such cases, it said. Explosive poly-nitroaromatic compounds can be analysed usually by sophisticated instrumental techniques. But the requirements for quick decision making in criminology laboratories or reclaimed military sites or to detect explosives in possession of extremists often require simple, cheap, and selective field techniques, which will be non-destructive in nature, the DST said. Non-destructive sensing of nitroaromatic chemicals (NACs) is difficult, it said. While earlier studies are based mostly on photo-luminescent property, detection on the basis of conducting property has not been explored so far, it said. Detection on the basis of conducting property helps in making a handy detection device where results can be seen with the help of LED, the department said.
