Two Illinois men arrested on terror charge

An army national guard and his cousin were arrested for conspiring to provide material support to the terrorist organization. The National Guard was arrested Wednesday night while attempting to fly to Egypt to join Isis. His cousin was arrested at his house due to the fact of a plot to attack the U.S. military facility. The two U.S. citizens were charged with one count of each conspiring to provide material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organization. In the past 18 months the Justice Department's National Security division has prosecuted 32 cases of people attempting to travel abroad to join terrorist groups and of those cases 18 of them involve support from Isis.

Georgia Woman

For a second time this year, a woman's execution has been postponed due to unusual reasons. The 47- year old was scheduled to be executed on Wednesday, February 25th, but the execution was postponed to March 2nd due to weather conditions. She was scheduled to die at 7 p.m. on Monday, but prior to the execution the drugs were sent to be tested but fell within the testing limits causing her execution to be postponed again. A petition was started saying that the woman has turned her life around and she should be set free. As of Tuesday morning the petition had 80,000 signatures and the organizers made a plan to deliver it the Governor of Georgia. She was convicted of taking part in her husband's murder in 1997 and has been in jail ever since.
