Snip: In an instant, an invisible radio frequency wave is produced — a wave of almost unimaginably immense intensity, approximately a million times as strong as the most powerful radio signals on the earth. The energy of this pulse would reach everything in line of sight of the detonation. And it would do so at the speed of light.
The higher the altitude of the weapon's detonation, the larger the affected area would be. At a height of three hundred miles, for example, the entire continental United States would be exposed, along with parts of Canada and Mexico.
Islamic suicide bomber on bike kills 6
Snip: NETROKONA, BANGLADESH -- A suicide bomber on a bicycle blew himself up on a crowded street Thursday, killing six others and wounding dozens. Authorities blamed the attack on extremists who want to create an Islamic state in Bangladesh. At least 45 people, including nine police officers, were wounded, many seriously, witnesses and police said. Among the wounded was a second bomber; police said he failed to detonate his explosives.
Hundreds of people had gathered on a street in the northern town of Netrokona after police detonated abomb found in a building, when the suicide blast sent shrapnel through the air. There was no claim of responsibility, but officials blamed the attack on Jumatul Mujahideen Bangladesh, a banned Islamic group believed to be behind a blasts that have killed 21 people in the past two weeks. Bangladesh is a largely Muslim country governed by secular laws. Judge throws out Quran litigation in North Carolina
Snip: GREENSBORO -- A judge on Thursday threw out a lawsuit spurred by outcry over the inability of Muslims to use a Quran for courtroom oaths, a lawyer in the case said. Superior Court Judge Donald L. Smith decided that the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina and Greensboro Muslim Syidah Mateen failed to show that an actual legal controversy exists between them and the state of North Carolina.
The judge did not address whether state law allows people to use non-Christian texts for oath-taking, the main issue the ACLU wanted resolved. "We're disappointed the judge did not reach the merits (of the case)," said ACLU lawyer Seth Cohen, who confirmed Thursday's ruling. "We're confidant we would have won on the merits."
Personal Note: ACLU loses case - boo hoo hoo (thankful for judge upholding existing laws rather than appeasing those who want to modify our laws to fit their agenda).
