Cheat Sheet - Exclusive: Taliban Jails Commander for Back-Door Peace Talks

Today: Travyon’s Girlfriend: I Told Him to Run, Strong Quake Shakes Central Mexico, French Shooter May Have Filmed Attack March 20, 2012 EXCLUSIVE 1. Taliban Splits Deepen A sense of uncertainty and betrayal is growing in the Afghan insurgency’s ranks. The Daily Beast’s Sami Yousafzai and Ron Moreau on the leadership’s struggle to regain control. Read it at The Daily Beast TRAGIC 2. Travyon’s Girlfriend: I Told Him to Run Trayvon Martin, the unarmed black teenager who was shot and killed by a neighborhood vigilante in Florida, was on the phone with his girlfriend moments before the incident, new phone records confirm. The 16-year-old girl, whose name has not been released, told the Martin family’s attorney that Trayvon knew he was being watched, “so he put his hoodie on.” She continued: “I told him to run but he said he was not going to run.” The girl then heard the man—George Zimmerman—approach Trayvon before the line went dead. No charges have been filed, but the case is being referred to a Florida grand jury. On the 911 call with police, Zimmerman told the dispatcher that he was following Martin, and the dispatcher told him "you don't need to do that." Zimmerman has said he acted in self-defense. Listen to the 911 call here. Read it at The Daily Beast 7.6 MAGNITUDE 3. Strong Quake Shakes Central Mexico A 7.6 magnitude earthquake rattled central Mexico on Tuesday, prompting residents in Mexico City and Acapulco to rush into the streets after the trembler shook homes and buildings. So far there have been no reports of serious injuries or damage aside from a few cracks in buildings. The 11-mile deep quake’s epicenter was roughly 15 miles east of Ometepec, Guerrero, where authorities reported aftershocks. Mexico City, which is built atop volcanic ash and clay, is particularly prone to quakes. Roughly 10,000 people died after a huge temblor struck the city in 1985. Read it at CNN MANHUNT 4. French Shooter May Have Filmed Attack French officials said Tuesday that the shooter who attacked a French school may have filmed his attack via a small video camera on his neck. French Interior Minister Claude Gueant told reporters that killer, who is still on the loose, that surveillance footage showed that the gunman was filming the attack. Monday’s attack at a Jewish school in Toulouse has shocked France and, combined with a shooting at a military base over the weekend, has caused French President Nicolas Sarkozy to suspend campaigning for next month’s presidential election. The killer is still on the loose. Meanwhile, authorities released a photo of some of the victims, Rabbi Jonathan Sandler and his two sons, Ariel and Gabriel, who were killed in the attack. Miriam Monsonego, 7, was also killed in the attack. Read it at Christian Science Monitor Lowered Expectations 5. McCain Disappointed in Mitt Sen. John McCain is confident that Mitt Romney can win the Illinois primary today, but confessed to Fox Business Network's Don Imus that the former Massachusetts governor's performance in the Republican presidential primary has been a bit of a disappointment. He blames the impression that Mitt won't secure the nomination anytime soon on the media, namely MSNBC. "Some of the pundits I was watching this morning—'Well, he may not be able to get there if he doesn't do well in Wisconsin, blah blah blah.' I think he has got a solid lead. I think he has not done as well as we'd hoped. None of us ever do in campaigns." However, when Imus called Romney "an awful candidate," McCain insisted "Oh, that's not true, Don."
