German prosecutors on Friday closed their investigation into the alleged tapping of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cell phone by the U.S. National Security Agency, saying they have been unable to find evidence that would stand up in court. Prosecutors last June opened an investigation into the alleged monitoring of a cell phone Merkel used for party business. The federal prosecutor’s office said it has been unable to get hold of an original document proving the alleged spying, and that a published transcript of an NSA document allows for various interpretations. Sierra Leone President Ernest Bai Koroma imposed new restrictions Friday preventing people from entering or leaving two districts in the northern part of the country that are experiencing a resurgence of Ebola. German prosecutors say the co-pilot who crashed Germanwings Flight 9525 in March researched how to get hold of deadly drugs and the possibility of a living will — a finding that suggests he was mulling other means of killing himself until the last minute. Prosecutors say Lubitz locked his captain out of the cockpit and deliberately crashed the Airbus A320 into a mountainside during a flight from Barcelona to Duesseldorf, killing all 150 people on board. An electrical wire fell on a bus carrying people to a wedding in western India on Friday, killing at least 17, an official in Rajasthan state said. Thousands of bare-chested, muscular men, drag queens in high heels, women in colorful balloon costumes and others partied at Tel Aviv’s annual gay pride parade Friday, the largest event of its kind in the region.
