The Boston attack has brought a big suspense among the people. This attack was first planned for the US Independence Day by the two brothers Tamerlan and Tsarnaev. These two brothers were very young. Tsarnaev was only 19 while his brother was just 26. This news was announced by the officials who found some evidence of the attack, but instead of attacking the US, they attacked the Boston Marathon last month.

The reports announced that the attack was planned by the brothers on the 4th of July, but the date was changed. The two brothers were very young, but they built a bomb very soon. The brothers have built the two bombs with the help of pressure cookers, and this bomb was used for the attack in the Boston Marathon. Many people were wounded in this attack, and 3 people were killed. The attack took place on the 15th of April. The officials had some information about the attack on the 4th of July, but they were not aware about the attack of the 15th of April.

The elder brother Tamerlan was killed by the police on the 19th of April soon after 4 days of the attack. His brother was wounded, and was caught by the police. The younger brother after investigations was found guilty and was charged for a death penalty by the Government. The family claimed the body of the elder brother, which was kept at the Boston facility for a week, to carry out a funeral.

His wife Katherine was against the claim of the body as she was not supporting her husband for the attack. The family was wishing to get the dead body for the final ceremony. The wife was also under the eye of the investigators about how the bomb was planned and whether she helped them to build the bomb. The parents of the two brothers lived in the US before the attack, but they went to Russia after this great disaster, that was committed by their sons.

There were three other people who were caught by the investigators in connection to the attack. The other three were also students and friends of Tsarnaev. Among the three students, one was without a valid US visa and so the Republican Senator asked Obama about the security of the nation. These three were brought to Essex after they were caught in Boston. Among the three boys, one was named Tazhayakov whose visa was dismissed by the government as he was thrown out by the university. He was allowed to enter without a valid US visa. The three students were taken under investigations by the federal government and their lawyers are trying hard to prove them correct, and show that they were not connected with the attack.

A woman who fought for CCTV coverage at a Llanelli mosque where Muslims claim to have suffered years of abuse said the situation has now improved.

Anne Stevens-Bevan, of Llanelli's Ethnic Minority Help Association, fought tirelessly for improved security at the mosque on Station Road after people going there to pray said they had been abused.

The issue was brought to the attention of the Muslim Council for Great Britain and the Home Secretary, and Carmarthenshire Council agreed to fund cameras outside the mosque last year.

Mrs Stevens-Bevan said she had not been made aware of any trouble since their installation. "This is what we fought so hard for," she said. "We haven't had any further notices of anything happening down there."

She said religious freedom was a cause close to her heart – and vowed to keep fighting against prejudice. "If we all understood each other the world would be a better place," said Mrs Stevens-Bevan.

The problems came to a head when a group of elderly women marking the festival of Ramadan claimed to have been followed into the building by two men. Metal bars were fitted over the mosque's windows last year after reports were made that glass was smashed while someone was praying inside.

Carmarthenshire Council's community safety partnership manager Kate Thomas confirmed there had been no issues since the CCTV camera was put in place. "The camera was installed in June 2012 and there have been no incidents reported to the police since, which is excellent news," she said.

Two women punched a pregnant woman and pulled her friend's hijab from her head in a racial attack. Eileen Kennedy, 28, and a 15-year-old female, assaulted Umaimi Musa at Royston Road, Glasgow, on September 3. The teenager also assaulted Ms Musa's friend Mary Marandran, then five months pregnant.

As the women were sitting in a park they heard the phrases "f****** black African" and "f****** brings you to this country?" from one of the two accused before they were assaulted.

The incident was captured on CCTV which was shown to the court and the camera operator alerted the police as the incident happened.

Kennedy and her co-accused pled guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Tuesday to racially assaulting 41-year-old Ms Musa to her injury. Kennedy also admitted resisting arrest and claiming she had an infection before spitting on a police officer. The teenager admitted the racially aggravated assault on Mrs Marandran, 40, by repeatedly punching her on the head and pushing her to her injury.

The court heard the racist phrases were the precursor to the assaults.

Procurator fiscal depute Mark Allan, prosecuting, said: "The second named accused repeatedly punched the then pregnant Mrs Marandran on her head and pushed her." He told the court that both accused demanded Ms Musa's mobile phone and tried to grab it off her after she told them she was going to phone the police.

Mr Allan said she was punched on the head which caused her to fall to the ground. He added: "Once on the ground, she was repeatedly punched on her head and body, her hijab or headscarf as she can be seen wearing during the course of this incident was pulled from her head and she was robbed of her mobile telephone. Police officers were directed to the scene by those operating the CCTV."

Both Mrs Marandran and Ms Musa were taken to the Royal Infirmary in Glasgow to be checked. Ms Musa had a bruised left cheek which was tender and swollen, a grazed knee and a sore neck. Mrs Marandran suffered no damage to her unborn baby but had some muscular pain.

Sheriff Kenneth Mitchell deferred sentence on both accused until a later date. Kennedy was remanded in custody and her co-accused remained on bail.
