Mr Miller and Mr Cui were unaware that those two individuals - identified in court documents as "Individual 1" and "Individual 2" - were acting at the direction of the FBI.

"Shocked by the terrible antisemitic terror attack targeting Jews in Boulder, Colorado," he wrote on X. "This is pure antisemitism, fueled by the blood libels spread in the media."
Danny Danon, Israel's ambassador to the UN, similarly was saddened over the attack, calling it "terrorism" and asking for "concrete action" in response.But analysts also warn that it will be far from easy to pay for higher pay through increased public sector productivity.
"If the pay recommendations come in higher than what departments have planned for, that will create a budgeting challenge," says Ben Zaranko of the IFS."If no additional funding is forthcoming, it will force ruthless prioritisation and tough choices elsewhere. Public service leaders are already being asked to find major efficiency savings, and there is a limit to what is realistic."
