44 Charged by US in new Jersey

A two-year corruption and international money-laundering investigation stretching from the Jersey Shore to Brooklyn to Israel and Switzerland culminated in charges against 44 people on Thursday, including three New Jersey mayors, two state assemblymen and five rabbis, the authorities said. The case began with bank fraud charges against a member of an insular Syrian Jewish enclave centered in a seaside town.

Terrorism

Terrorism

The word ‘terrorist’ may strike terror into our hearts, but the fact is that for many terrorists, the path they have taken is a rational choice, made after careful deliberation and deep thought. In other words, terrorists are apparently ‘normal’ people, but they are also individuals who have chosen a path of destruction and bloodshed. Why do educated people turn to terrorism? Is it due to their strained economic conditions, or because of their radicalised thinking? Soon after the September 11 terrorist attacks, prominent individuals called f.......
