Vandals place cardboard planes on 9/11 memorial in Louisiana

LAFAYETTE, LA (KATC) - Police in Louisiana are searching for the culprit who vandalized a September 11 memorial in downtown Lafayette, on the 12th anniversary of the attacks.

Someone placed two cardboard cutout images of crashing planes at the site. Authorities have since removed them.

Each plane had the letters "NWO" and an image of an eye in a triangle, a reference to the New World Order conspiracy theory.

The theory includes the belief that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by the United State government.

Eagles place Brandon Hughes on short-term IR

The Eagles are hurting for secondary help, and made a move Wednesday to address it.

The team announced it was placing cornerback Brandon Hughes on short-term injured reserve, and filling his roster spot by signing Roc Carmichael off the Texans’ practice squad.

Hughes had been part of final cuts, but was brought back when Bradley Fletcher was lost to a concussion. Hughes will be released from IR and become a free agent once he can pass a physical.

The short-term injured reserve is not the same thing as injured reserve with designation for return. The return designation is for players who will miss eight weeks and then return later in the season, but Hughes will be released by the Eagles as soon as he’s healthy.
