LAPD BOMB SQUAD OFFICERS TO TRAIN IN ISRAEL
Four Los Angeles Police Department bomb squad technicians are visiting Israel to train with their counterparts in the Israeli National Police Bomb Squad. Ronald Capra, an LAPD bomb squad officer who will accompany three other officers for the training, said LAPD's "exposure to local [Israeli] bomb units" will help the LAPD learn more about how to handle and dispose of explosive devices, given Israeli technicians' experience with suicide attacks. "They've paid the price for it," Capra said, referring to Israeli lives lost in bomb-related violence, but they are the "foremost" experts on explosives "in the world."
AFTER WAITING 27 YEARS, CALIFORNIA MAN DIES WITHOUT SEEING DAUGHTER’S KILLER EXECUTED
George Cullins, whose daughter was murdered by serial killer Dean Phillip Carter in 1984, has died without seeing his most fervent wish come to pass: Carter's execution. Cullins, 88, a retired Marine Corps officer, died last week in the Antelope Valley of complications from injuries he suffered in a traffic accident in October. His wife, Helen, remains hospitalized. After the 1984 murder of his 24-year-old daughter, Janette, Cullins became an activist in favor of the death penalty and victims' rights.
