Florida airport shooting suspect Esteban Santiago faces death penalty

The Iraq war veteran accused of killing five travellers and wounding six others at a busy international airport in Florida has been charged and could face the death penalty if convicted.

Esteban Santiago, 26, told investigators that he planned the attack, buying a one-way ticket to the Fort Lauderdale airport, a federal complaint said. The authorities do not know why he chose his target and have not ruled out terrorism.
