Philadelphia train crash engineer lays low as scrutiny heats up Posted: 14 May 2015 04:57 PM PDT By Jarrett Renshaw and Laila Kearney PHILADELPHIA/NEW YORK (Reuters) - A portrait of the engineer at the helm of a speeding Amtrak train that derailed in Philadelphia began to emerge on Thursday as the man's lawyer said his client could not remember the crash, and rescuers pulled an eighth body from the wreckage. With the engineer facing intense scrutiny over his role in the accident, Philadelphia police said they launched a criminal investigation into Tuesday's crash of the New York-bound train. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said the engineer, identified as Brandon Bostian, 32, fully engaged the train's emergency braking system seconds before the wreck. NTSB member Robert Sumwalt, updating reporters on the board's probe into the cause of the wreck, said the engineer has agreed to be interviewed by agency investigators, who were giving him a day or two to recuperate from his injuries first, and that he was entitled to be accompanied by his lawyer.

Four dead at home that burned in Washington: local media Posted: 14 May 2015 03:28 PM PDT Four people were found dead in a home in northwest Washington after a fire on Thursday that the chief of police said was "suspicious" in nature. At a news conference outside the home in an upscale section of the nation's capital, Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said firefighters responding to the blaze found three adults and one child dead. Washington Police Chief Cathy Lanier told reporters there were no obvious signs of forced entry but that "the nature and origin of the fire is very suspicious."

Obama Set Goals Too High for Gulf Rebalance, Experts Say Posted: 14 May 2015 12:39 PM PDT The Obama administration is likely to fall far short of the lofty goals it set for itself at Thursday's summit with Gulf leaders, several experts on the region said. While the White House has framed the seven-nation meeting as an opportunity to deepen and strengthen Gulf nations' security relationship with the United States in light of a possible nuclear deal with Iran, the six foreign leaders attending have set out bargaining chips that the administration has already shot down, and it's not exactly clear what else, besides those tangible items, either side wants. "There's a very real prospect that this exercise could end up looking like the February Countering Violent Extremism summit," Brian Katulis of the Center for American Progress, which is aligned with the Obama administration, said, referring to a 60-plus-country confab that issued a lengthy joint statement with few specifics. The White House has already ruled out a formal mutual defense treaty, which several of the Gulf nations were advocating, and is also unlikely to approve Saudi Arabia's request for F-35 Joint Strike Fighter jets.
