 Algeria gifts Niger four military helicopters Niger's military has received four military helicopters and other equipment gifted by Algeria, airport and security sources told AFP on Tuesday. Arriving in the Nigerien capital Niamey on Sunday, the shipment included four attack and transport helicopters, spare parts, maintenance equipment and ammunition, an airport source said. Niger's air force chief of staff, General Salifou Mainassara, formally received the donation on Monday at a ceremony attended by Algerian military officials, a security source said.

Authorities in Maryland have charged 22‑year‑old Marquis Emilio James with the murder of philanthropist Robert G. Fuller Jr., who was found dead in his apartment at the Cogir Potomac Senior Living Facility on February 14. 


Police allege James, a medication technician at the center, disguised himself with a wig and mask before carrying out the killing. Surveillance footage captured the suspect leaving through a tampered door, and investigators later linked James to the crime after receiving multiple tips.


Days after the killing, James allegedly fired shots at a state trooper during a traffic stop, narrowly missing the officer. Ballistic evidence connected the weapon used in that incident to Fuller’s death, strengthening the case against him. 


U.S. Marshals eventually tracked James to Rockville, Maryland, where he was arrested following a brief chase. He now faces charges of first‑degree murder and could receive a life sentence if convicted.


Fuller, 87, was a retired Navy Reserve officer and prominent attorney from Augusta, Maine. 


Known for his philanthropy, he donated more than $1.6 million to modernize Cony High School’s athletic complex during the pandemic, ensuring the project’s completion. 


In recognition of his generosity, the school named its athletic field after him, cementing his legacy as a community benefactor.
