The CIA has released a new Mandarin-language recruitment video targeting Chinese military officers, while in other news, two people were killed and one wounded in a shooting at South Carolina State University, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking to revoke the citizenship of two Palestinians convicted of terrorism. These events, along with the ongoing search for the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, and the sentencing of a Brazilian au pair in a murder-for-hire plot, dominated headlines.
The CIA's recruitment video, according to CBS News, portrays a fictional People's Liberation Army officer grappling with corruption within the military. The officer, troubled by the situation and concerned for his family, ultimately decides to contact the American intelligence agency. CIA Director John Ratcliffe has described the campaign as the agency's top intelligence priority.
At South Carolina State University, a shooting at the Hugine Suites student residential complex resulted in two fatalities and one injury. The university was placed on lockdown following the incident, which occurred Thursday night. Authorities have not yet released any details about a suspect, and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) is investigating, according to ABC News.
In Israel, Prime Minister Netanyahu has asked a court to revoke the Israeli citizenship of two Palestinian men convicted of terrorism offenses. This action is the first use of a law enacted three years ago that allows for the revocation and deportation of Palestinian citizens convicted of violent crimes, especially those involving terrorism and financial support from the Palestinian Authority, as reported by Fox News.
Meanwhile, the search for Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Savannah Guthrie, continues. She was reportedly kidnapped from her Tucson, Arizona, home on February 1. The FBI has released photos and videos of a masked individual tampering with a security camera at her home, according to ABC News.
Finally, a Brazilian au pair is facing sentencing in Virginia after confessing to scheming with her lover to kill his wife and another man. The au pair, Juliana Peres Magalhães, pleaded guilty to the February 2023 killing of Joseph Ryan. She testified that she shot Ryan as her lover was stabbing his wife, according to ABC News. A judge will determine her fate on Friday.
