Ramadan Attacks Prompt US to Sound Terror Alarm

U.S. officials are sounding a holiday terror alarm that's one of the most serious in years. Their concern: recent attacks overseas combined with stepped-up recruiting in the United States – and a call-to-arms during Ramadan.

In the last week, terrorists have struck and killed innocent vacationers in Tunisia, leaving 39 dead. In Kuwait, a suicide bomber attacked a Shiite mosque, killing 27 and injuring hundreds.

ISIS has claimed responsibility for both attacks. Meanwhile on Tuesday, a suicide bomber attacked troops serving with NATO in Afghanistan.

US Court: 10 Commandments Display Must Come Down

 

OKLAHOMA CITY - A Ten Commandments monument on the Oklahoma Capitol grounds is a religious symbol and must be removed because it violates the state's constitutional ban on using public property to benefit a religion, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday.

Oklahoma's highest court said the Ten Commandments chiseled into the 6-foot-tall granite monument, which was privately funded by a Republican legislator, are "obviously religious in nature and are an integral part of the Jewish and Christian faiths."
