Rebel flag supporter 'bombs Mississippi Walmart'
3 November 2015 US & Canada
A man apparently angered by Walmart's decision to stop selling Confederate battle flags has been accused of bombing one of the retailer's stores.
Marshall Leonard is being held by police after throwing a bomb into one of the department stores in Tupelo, Mississippi, early on Sunday.
Mr Leonard is known in the city for the 4ft (1.2m) flag he flies over his car.
Nobody was hurt or injured by the improvised device that produced only a loud bang but no damage.
