ISIS Claims Deadly Toronto Shooting, First Time in North America for 2018
World International Affairs The Islamic State militant group (ISIS) has claimed responsibility for a deadly shooting spree in Toronto, the first claim this year in North America. The jihadis' official Amaq News Agency released Wednesday a statement claiming that Faisal Hussain, 29, was acting on behalf of ISIS when he opened fire on a busy street in the Danforth neighborhood of Canada's most populous city. The attack killed an 18-year-old woman, a 10-year-old girl and injured over a dozen others in what ISIS described as an answer to the group's calls for attacks on citizens of countries involved in a U.S.-led coalition bombing the jihadis in Iraq and Syria. "The person who carried out the attack in the city of Toronto in southeast Canada this past Sunday evening was a soldier of the Islamic State and he conducted the attack in response to calls to target nationals of the coalition states," Amaq wrote, attributing the statement to an ISIS security source.

But before you decide to pack up and move to a place that’s graced with more astronomical wonders, take note that just three nights after the eclipse, Mars’ orbit will be closer to the earth than it has been in more than a decade — and that’s something you’ll be able to view from right here in the Bay Area. “Which one would I rather watch? Both,” said Rick Elphic, a scientist at NASA Ames in Mountain View. So what’s so great about this eclipse anyway? “The moon will be passing very close through the center of … [Read more...] about No eclipse for you, North America — but Mars is ready for a close-up with Earth
