...competitive issue among states,” Daley said. “The concentration of talent and funding in states like New York make it a very attractive area for investigators just beginning research with stem cells.”Daley said he also supported the idea of a merit-based system for distributing state funding. “We have a vibrant private sector here in Massachusetts, where some of the best science is being done,” he said. “We have to remember that the most important goal in funding should be the advancement...

Asgari was in the IRGC's chain of command when it was kidnapping and assassinating Westerners in Lebanon in the '80s. Asgari knows a lot about other IRGC-ordered, Lebanon-based terrorist attacks, including the October 1983 Marine barracks bombing in Beirut and the 1996 bombing of Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia...
