More time for death penalty decision in Seattle shooting
SEATTLE King County Prosecutor Norm Maleng has until November 17th to decide whether to seek the death penalty against the man accused of killing a woman at the Jewish Federation office in Seattle.
The deadline was extended two months yesterday after a superior court hearing for Naveed Haq (nah-VEED' AHF'-zal hahk).
The 30-year-old Tri-Cities man is charged with aggravated murder, plus attempted murder, and other charges for the July 28th shooting in which five other women were wounded.
Police say Haq identified himself as a Muslim and said he blamed Jews for U-S policy in the Mideast.
