Train engineer is focus of Amtrak crash investigation

The National Transportation Safety Board is putting its focus on talking to Brandon Bostian, the man who was at the controls of Amtrak passenger train 188, which derailed just north of Philadelphia on its way to New York City.

His attorney says his client has a concussion and does not remember the accident.

He stepped down last week only to withdraw his resignation, and remains, for now, in charge of the right-wing party.

Terror arrests rise to record levels in UK


British police say the number of terror-related arrests has risen to record levels with nearly 340 people detained in England, Wales and Scotland in the past year. The represents a thirty per cent rise on the previous year. 

Half of those arrests relate to Syria where the Islamic State has established a base.  Scotland Yard said an estimated 700 potential terror suspects have traveled to Syria, with half of those believed to have returned to the UK.    

This comes as Britain's Foreign Office says it's looking into reports that three British teenagers are on the run after escaping from the Islamic State in Iraq.  An Iraqi blogger reported IS are searching for three young British women who are married to militants.   There is speculation these could be the three 16 year old London schoolgirls who traveled to Syria earlier this year.  

Terrorism and security expert Margaret Gilmore told LBC radio how dangerous it is for recruits  to leave ISIS.
