Of soleimani an act of International Terrorism and a foolish escalation. The pentagon confirms u. S. Air strike killed soleimani. The strike happened as he was arriving to Baghdad Airport of the he was a prominent Iranian Military leader in. A statement, the pentagon said soleimani orchestrated attacks on coalition bases in iraq in the past month and approved the attacks on the u. S. Embassy in baghdad this week. The statement said strike was preemptive. Quote, general soleimani was actively developing plans to attack Service Members throughout the region. He was easily the second most powerful man in iran. He has been literally called the de facto foreign minister of iran arge of regional conflicts and proxy wars. So hes remarkably influential in the region. Reporter he is the director of iranian studies at stanford university. He says soleimani was seen in iran as an alternative to the regime and he had a big influence across the middle east. He was very much an influential figure in fighting isis. Bihe was also very influential in fighting the u. S. , and very influential figure in fighting israel. Reporter he says the air strike is a major escalation in an already tense region. President trump was vacationing on his estate in palm beach, florida, and sent out a tweet of an american flag. The professor says iran will have no choice but to respond. My sense is and my hope is that because the iranian economy is in a very serious crisis and because the regime is in a serious crisis, they dont want a full confrontation with the united states. Nancy pelosi tonight issued a response. She says, quote, tonights air strike risks provoking further dangerous escalation of violence. The full Congress Must be immediately briefed on this serious situation and the next steps under consideration by the administration. Stanford the professor says that is going to be a key question in the coming days. He says soleimani was an easy target, often travelling in the open without security. And the u. S. As well as other countries, andre and julie, have had plenty of opportunities in the past to target him to, take him down. So the question now is what are the consequences, and has the Trump Administration thought this through fully . So what does it mean for american diplomats and military in the middle east right now . A key question tomorrow will be what intelligence did they have. And also he says in the short term, it could put americans at greater risk because there is uncertainty, uncharted territory as to how iran will respond. Jana, thank you.

Law enforcement agencies are using dna evidence to solve crimes. Some privacy groups in california and across the country say this use of dna in criminal investigations could be trampling on the rights of many innocent americans. Now state lawmakers in utah are considering a law that would impose major restrictions on the use of dna evidence. The bill would prohibit mass searching of dna databases of thousands or even millions of innocent individuals of that personal dna information. If Law Enforcement wants to search the dna, then they should have some kind of suspect in mind. The utah legislation would likely have a major impact on cold cases where police have a dna sample without a suspect in custody. Most u. S. Law enforcement groups opposed the utah proposal saying dna evidence has become a powerful Crime Fighting tool.
