The suspect accused of gunning down two Israeli embassy staff outside a Jewish museum in Washington has been charged with murder, as international tensions over anti-Semitism erupted after the attack. Elias Rodriguez, 30, shouted “Free Palestine” as he was taken away by police after the shooting late on Wednesday (local time) outside the Capital Jewish Museum, prosecutors said in a court document. “I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza,” he told the officers.
