The camreas from the store didnt catch that drama but it caught the guy who shot the person running to the train. Cops caught a suspect and took the to custody but they werent sure if it was the guy who shot the man who died.


Reaction When I read this article I wasnt really shocked. Even though this is crazy! Usually things like this happen all the time, the congress should at least try and do something about this. Why must people do this? is problly what your thinking but if you even try to ask someone who actually shot someone until they die it will be the most stupidest reason ever. i noticed there was actually alot of people YOUNG people who died this year more then ever to me. I think this should stop!Dont you?

Failed Al Qaeda plot involved sewing bombs inside dogs

Summary: Bomber maker Al Qaeda grabbed two stray dogs and implanted very dangerous bombs in each of them. These defenceless dogs were put in kennel carries and were sent to Baghdad airport. The stray dogs were going to sent to the U.S. Many rescue group go to Iraq to save several stray animals and give them homes in the U.S. Before the strays had gotten on board U.S soldiers figured out that the had died. Later on that day they had dicovered that the dogs had bombs stitched inside them.


Reaction: I can't believe people have the heart to even do such thing. I find it incredible that they would even put it inside a dog. I just thank god that the bomb never got to the U.S. Who knows what damage it could have caused. I wish that people that do animal cruelty like that bepunished in the future .....
