GOP congressional candidate Trey Radel, accused of being a "cybersquatter," said Wednesday that he is shutting down websites that carried the names of three rival candidates in District 19.

Fox News reported on Wednesday morning that Newt Gingrich will suspend his bid for the Republican presidential nomination on Tuesday.

"The New Black Panther Party has issued a fatwa, an Islamist order or command, calling for the unlawful capture (kidnapping) of a citizen who had no outstanding arrest warrant," said the Florida Family Association. "The NBPP's illegitimate reward offer for a kidnapping is something you see in the Middle East Arabic world, not in America. It should not be tolerated by law enforcement."
