Colchester dog attack: Parents' tribute to baby killed

   Parents have paid tribute to their four-month old son who was killed in a dog attack, and his 22-month-old brother who was seriously injured.

   Archie Darby died after he was attacked by the dog at his home in Colchester, Essex. His brother Daniel-Jay Darby is in hospital.
   In a statement, their parents said they "were such happy little loveable boys".
Essex Police said the dog - believed to have been a "Staffordshire bull terrier-type" - had been put down.
Their mother sustained minor injuries in the attack inside the house in Harwich Road on Thursday afternoon.
   The boys' parents, who asked not to be named, issued a statement saying: "Our beautiful sons Archie Joe Darby and Daniel-Jay Darby are so, so loved by us all and were such happy little loveable boys.
"It doesn't seem real that our little Archie Bum has gone to heaven and our little Daniel is in intensive care because of a tragic, tragic incident involving a dog attack.
   "We have lost our gorgeous little four-month-old baby and our beautiful 22-month-old boy is currently being treated for his injuries.
   "Heaven has gained a beautiful little angel and he will be greatly missed by us all and our other little soldier is still fighting strong.
"Please, please, please can you all respect our privacy at this time."
    Daniel-Jay was left with "life-changing injuries" in the attack and is being treated at a specialist unit.
Tributes including flowers and toys have been left outside the house. One card left with a bunch of roses read: "RIP little man."

Militia members arrested in alleged mosque attack plot

  Three right-wing militia members have been arrested for allegedly planning attacks at a mosque and a housing complex in Kansas, CBS News has learned.
  The attack would have specifically targeted Somali refugees, a source told CBS News.
The charges were announced by the U.S. Attorney’s Office at a news conference Friday in Wichita.
  Federal prosecutors allege the three men -- identified as Curtis Allen, Patrick Stein and Gavin Wright -- are members of a group calling itself the Kansas Security Force.

  Acting U.S. Attorney Tom Beall says the three conspired to detonate a bomb at an apartment complex with about 120 residents. The attack was planned for Nov. 9, the day after Election Day, authorities said.
They were arrested Friday after an eight-month FBI investigation.
   Garden City is home to a Tyson Foods beef slaughterhouse that has drawn a diverse immigrant population to the area.
   The case is the latest involving militia groups in the state.

CBS Wichita affiliate KWCH-TV reports that on Tuesday the FBI assisted the police department in Liberal, Kansas, with an incident involving multiple road closures. Liberal is about 215 miles southwest of Wichita.
 It’s unclear whether the incident is connected to the arrests.
