Taiwan police captured a heavily armed fugitive whom they had been tracking for more than a year on Wednesday after he exposed his whereabouts by playing online computer games. Taiwan evening newspapers said Chang Hsi-ming, wanted for murder, illegal possession of weapons and multiple kidnappings, was found via his Internet protocol address after police found out he often played games online. The head of Taiwan's Criminal Investigation Bureau personally led the siege against Chang's hideout in central Taiwan, with more than 130 police and two armoured vehicles as he was known to be armed with assault rifles and hand grenades.
Illinois Police Arrest Man Who Said He Was Driving To D.C. With Explosives
Terry Daniel, 44, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, used the words ''bomb,'' ''explosive,'' ''Washington, D.C.'' and ''president,'' over a CB radio around 3 a.m. Wednesday 7/13 while driving eastbound on Interstate 80, Princeton police chief Tom Root told the (LaSalle) NewsTribune.
After hearing his comments, truck drivers alerted the authorities.
Police took the man into custody at a service station off I-80 in this central Illinois town, about 100 miles southwest of Chicago, when Daniel apparently stopped for gas. A search of the van turned up containers and other materials that lent credence to his threat, Root said.
''There were some maps, documents and other things that lead us to believe that he was headed in that direction and that location,'' he said.
