In a social media clip, Latif promised 3 million Pakistani rupees to anyone who would kill “the person who planned this game,” adding, “If I had more, I would give it.” Wilders eventually canceled the competition.Neither Latif nor a lawyer for him appeared in court to respond to the charges, though Wilders did appear.Speaking in court, the controversial far-right MP addressed the absent Latif: R...Boston police seek public’s help in finding stolen $70,000 viola
