Denver police investigate shooting at Obama office

Police are reviewing video footage from city surveillance cameras after a shot was fired through the window of President Obama’s campaign office.

Police spokeswoman Raquel Lopez said cameras are in the area of the campaign office on West Ninth Avenue near Acoma Street near Denver’s downtown, and investigators are poring over the tapes for any leads.

She did not release any other information, citing an “active, ongoing investigation.”

Lopez said people were inside the office when the shooting happened Friday afternoon, but no one was injured. A large panel of glass was shattered at the office.

Lopez said she isn’t aware of any previous threats against the campaign office.

Occupy supporters mark protest camp anniversary

Supporters of Occupy have gathered outside St. Paul’s Cathedral to mark the first anniversary of the anti-corporate movement’s now-dismantled protest camp.

Hundreds of protesters against capitalist excess and social inequality set up camp outside Christopher Wren’s famous landmark on Oct. 15, 2011, after they were stopped from demonstrating outside the nearby London Stock Exchange.

The tent city embroiled the historic church in a conflict between bank-bashing demonstrators and the city’s finance industry. The church’s position on the protesters shifted several times, and the cathedral’s dean and a senior priest both resigned over the issue.

The camp was dismantled in February after the protesters lost a court battle with local authorities.

Activist Ronan McNern said Saturday that the movement was still necessary because “the problem of inequality is not going away.”

Al-Qaida leader advocates holy war over amateur film

The leader of al-Qaida has urged Muslims to wage holy war against the United States and Israel over a film that insulted Islam’s Prophet Muhammad.

Ayman al-Zawahri praised as “honest and zealous” demonstrators who breached the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and attackers who stormed the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. The American ambassador and three others died in the Sept. 11 attack in the Libyan city.

The amateur film “Innocence of Muslims” was made by an Egyptian-born American citizen. In an audio message released by al-Qaida’s media arm As-Sahab and posted on militant websites Saturday, al-Zawahri claimed Washington allowed the film’s production under the pretext of freedom of expression, “but this freedom did not prevent them from torturing Muslim prisoners.”
