Alias had a machine gun with a rifle-mounted grenade launcher, which he used to blow a hole in the wall and then he destroyed the four watch towers surrounding the base. Shrike then brought in a gunship and blew open the locked security door out the front. When he had finished, Alias ran in and took out twenty odd guards, searched around for a way into the main area to find the nano-cell, but he
The identity of the attackers still had not been determined tonight. Truck Loaded With TNT According to a Pentagon spokesman, a Mercedes truck filled with some 2,500 pounds of TNT broke through a series of steel fences and sandbag barricades and detonated in the heart of the Marines' administrative headquarters building shortly after dawn. The explosion collapsed all four floors of the building, turning it into a burning mound of broken cement pillars and cinder blocks. Although a marine sentry was able to fire about five shots at the suicide driver and another marine threw himself in front of the speeding, explosive- filled truck, neither could block its entry into the headquarters building, where it exploded in a fireball that left a crater 30 feet deep and 40 feet wide. In a haunting scene late tonight, rescue workers using blow torches, pneumatic drills and cranes worked furiously under floodlights to pry out the dead and wounded still crushed beneath the smouldering debris.
Thrall is the son of Durotan, former chieftain of the Frostwolf clan, and Draka. As a baby, he was found amongst the bloody bodies of his murdered parents by Aedelas Blackmoore, commander of the internment camps which held orcs after the end of the Second War. Blackmoore gave him the name Thrall, which was another word for "slave" in the human tongue. Blackmoore returned with Thrall to his fortress, Durnholde Keep, raising him as a gladiator with all the savagery of an orc, but with the keen strategic intellect of a human. He was trained and taught by many, wet-nursed by a human woman, and grew to befriend her daughter, Taretha Foxton.
In January of 1991, Saddam Hussein launched his three best heavy armored divisions across the desert into Kuwaiti initiating the Gulf War. All that was standing in his way were small scattered units of Rangers and few lightly armed Marines. They were able to hold the armored divisions with constant mortar fire until reinforcements could arrive. Without these small Ranger units accompanied by some Marines, it would have been nearly impossible to establish a presence in Kuwaiti. During the United States’ current war, the War on Terror, the Rangers are an unprecedented force controlling the pace of the fighting.
“While being lifted onto an LST, he was almost dropped into the sea, having only been caught by the foot. After laying in the hold with hundreds of other wounded, he finally got a spot on the USS Samaritan.”(Standring Pg.5) Happily, the flag went up on Suribachi, just before Lucas was shipped off to Honolulu. Lucas went under the knife twenty two times before the doctors were finished. “Surprisingly, there are about 200 pieces of scrap iron still in him, some the size of .22-caliber bullets, which to this day, constantly set off airport metal detectors.”(Carpenter Pg.1) After close to seven months, Lucas was in good enough shape to be separated and put up for the Medal of Honor. At the time, the young man did not even know what it was, claimed “I went there to do one thing, and that was to
and it was Hastings city police Sergeant Jim Lee. I answered and Sergeant Lee called me a “Bone Head”. Then Sergeant Lee stated that he needed to talk with Under Sheriff Baker. I then transferred the call into the Under sheriff. Ten minutes later Under Sheriff Baker steps into control 1, and says “Tell me… How’d it happen?” So I told him exactly how it happened, and he said “Well… the door took the radio antenna off of the Tahoe, now the Tahoe is out of service.” And then he left.
Had not time to get ears for police. Thanks for keeping last letter back till I got to work again. JACK THE RIPPER The third and most horrendous letter of all was posted two weeks later to Mr. Lusk, head of the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee. With it came a small bow containing part of Catherine Eddowes' kidney. The letter was appropriately addressed "From Hell."
They each tell their own version of what had went down that terrible day individually. Even thought each story is a little different from the previous, each one covers the main events. The submarine had just hit a mine, which sent it directly down to the bottom of the sea. As the captain sees there is no way out unless they are pulled out of the water, he realizes that time is crucial. He calls for help but all they tell him is that the only help they can get will come in 7 days.
UK man gets 27 years in US jail for plotting to torture, eat child US District Court via AP By Reuters A British man who admitted planning to kidnap, torture and eat at least one child using a sound-proofed dungeon he built in his home in Massachusetts was sentenced to nearly 27 years in U.S. prison on Tuesday. Geoffrey Portway, 40, a British citizen, was sentenced by Judge Timothy Hillman at U.S. district court in Worcester after pleading guilty in May to charges related to child pornography and plotting a kidnapping and violent crime.
