Likely lone gunman in Munich mall shooting found dead: police Posted: 22 Jul 2016 05:36 PM PDT By Joern Poltz and Jens Hack MUNICH (Reuters) - A man found dead near a shopping center in Munich, Germany killed himself and was likely the lone gunman in an attack that killed nine people and injured at least 10 others, a spokesman for the Munich police said on Saturday. Earlier police, citing eyewitness accounts, had said they were looking for up to three suspects in the shooting attack at the Munich Olympia Shopping Centre (OEZ) that sent shoppers running for their lives and shut traffic across the city.

Kerry's Syria plan with Russia faces deep skepticism in U.S., abroad Posted: 22 Jul 2016 05:28 PM PDT By Yara Bayoumy, Jonathan Landay and John Walcott WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Skeptics in the U.S. government, European allies in the anti-Islamic State coalition and the main Syrian opposition, distrustful of Russia's intentions, are questioning Secretary of State John Kerry's latest proposal for closer U.S.-Russian cooperation against extremist groups in Syria.

Erdogan announces army overhaul in latest post-coup shakeup Posted: 22 Jul 2016 12:36 PM PDT By Ece Toksabay, Samia Nakhoul and Nick Tattersall ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan pledged to overhaul the army in response to last week's failed coup, a sign that a newly imposed state of emergency would be used to press on with a purge that has alarmed the West. In a sign of Turkey's dismissal of outside criticism over how it has responded to the coup, the justice minister said Turkey would not bow to pressure from the European Union to rule out restoring the death penalty to execute the plotters. Western countries backed Turkey's government during last week's failed putsch, but are increasingly worried about Turkey's subsequent crackdown against thousands of members of the security forces, judiciary, civil service and academia.

Kerry defended the U.S. proposal, which has been greeted with deep skepticism by top American military and intelligence officials.
