A man accused of fatally shooting two Israeli diplomats outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington has been indicted on four new terrorism charges, bringing the total to nine. Prosecutors allege the suspect, Elias Rodriguez, targeted attendees of a Jewish advocacy event, firing around 20 shots and shouting 'Free Palestine.' The US Attorney's Office stated that some charges could result in life imprisonment or the death penalty. Officials say Rodriguez published a manifesto justifying his actions and urging others to commit political violence. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the attack as a horrific act of antisemitism and announced increased security for Israeli missions worldwide.
