The man accused of murdering 11 Jewish worshippers at a synagogue in the US city of Pittsburgh faces the possibility of the death penalty as a federal trial gets under way.
The trial began on Tuesday in a court in downtown Pittsburgh, with lawyers for the accused gunman, Robert Bowers, acknowledging that he planned the 2018 massacre that shook the country and became the deadliest act of anti-Semitic violence in US history.
