...secret agent, Charles was the target of several murder attempts, probably by the communists. One bullet found his left leg, and he has the scar to prove it. Another left a dent in his head. Jackie has a similar souvenir, from a 1986 stunt that nearly killed him. Charles waves this off: "You injured yourself on a film shoot!" The boy is made of steel, the father of cobalt...

...campaign to stamp out organized crime within the state security forces and society as a whole - and it may have cost him his life. According to one senior government official, he was set to sign the warrant for Lukovic's arrest on the day he was shot.

The Amber Alert system originated in Arlington, Texas after the 1996 abduction and murder of nine-year-old Amber Hagerman, who was taken while riding her bicycle outside her family's home. Time is a critical factor in abduction cases: Seventy-four percent of children who are murdered by their kidnappers are killed within three hours of being taken.

...apartheid system needs to fortify its discriminatory practices’ gun ships and tanks with “petitions.” Honestly, does Esensten believe his own rhetoric? If Esensten were a Jew first, then he would see that all the petitions in the world do not make murder, torture and confiscation right by any religion whatsoever! Who is doing the most damage to Israel? Is it suicide bombers? Is it world opinion or criticism? No. The “bull in a china shop” behavior that Israel displays is doing the damage to Israel...
