HOUSTON – Four Houston firefighters died Friday while battling a 5-alarm blaze in a motel near the Southwest Freeway at Hillcroft. The bodies of three were found in the rubble of the Southwest Inn motel. A fourth apparently died at the hospital.

Sources say the search continues for others who haven't been accounted for, but it's not clear if they are firefighters.

The American Center for Law and Justice has announced a federal lawsuit today against the Internal Revenue Service on behalf of 25 conservative groups who were targeted and harassed by the tax agency.

Jay Sekulow, the center’s chief counsel, said the lawsuit will show the IRS abuses went far above a couple “rogue agents," as the Obama administration claims.

He has 15 IRS letters harassing conservative groups that were stamped with the signature of Lois Lerner, the IRS boss in charge of the tax-exempt office at the center of the scandal.

Police assisted by the Federation Against Copyright Theft showed up in large numbers to arrest an alleged movie pirate in the UK this week. Armed with an emergency search warrant issued out of hours by a judge, five undercover police vehicles containing detectives and FACT officers were deployed to arrest a 24-year-old said to have recorded the movie Fast and Furious 6.

The MPAA-backed Federation Against Copyright Theft is well known for its anti-piracy actions around the UK, tracking down alleged movie pirates with the help of the police and hauling them, if at all possible, through the court system.

What remains remarkable about FACT operations is how they are able to persuade the police to invest significant resources towards detaining individuals for non-violent crimes.
