The overnight strike on a residential block levelled homes, reduced streets to rubble, and killed at least 36 people, tearing some of them apart. Bayoumi had come to check on his cousin only to find “flesh and bodyparts,” and his cousin’s family, including his wife and son, buried beneath the rubble. “I swear, we don’t understand anything.”A boy walks through the aftermath of the Israeli strike on Nuseirat. A man stroked the round cheek of another dead child, and two others, tiny enough to be fit into a single stretcher, were carried by the crowd for burial. For the dozens of people weeping and mourning over the dead that day, the grief was no less raw for its regularity.

Michael J. Morell, a former deputy director of the C.I.A., said that Congress or the Justice Department should investigate the apparent lapse in processing the evidence. “What happened to this stuff after it was turned over to the F.B.I. at the time of the attacks, said that the new evidence was significant enough to require further evaluation, according to a spokesman. “The 9/11 families deserve no less,” Mr. Tenet said through the spokesman.

So The New York Times asked more than 5,300 people in the U.S. with this heritage how they describe themselves …No Box to Check: When the Census Doesn’t Reflect YouEgyptian, Iranian, Lebanese, Amazigh, Arab, American. In the 2020 census, “Lebanese” and “Egyptian” were offered as examples for the “white” box on the race question. The other categories were “Black or African American,” “American Indian or Alaska Native,” “Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander” and a variety of Asian ancestries. After all, there’s no agreed-upon set of countries or ethnicities that would fall under a Middle Eastern and North African category. The chart shows these responses after the MENA category was added: 69% chose “MENA,” 15% chose “MENA, White,” 3% chose “Another Race,” 5% chose “White” and 8% chose other combinations.

The criticism comes as Ramaswamy is slated to visit Ground Zero Monday for the tragedy’s 22nd anniversary. “It spits in the face of the thousands of lives that we lost on that day and subsequently,” Hurd said of Ramaswamy’s comments at a campaign stop here. Ramaswamy insists his comments about 9/11 revolve around the FBI’s changing story on Omar Al-Bouyimi. Twenty years after one of the most horrific days in American history, declassified FBI documents revealed Omar Al-Bayoumi, a Saudi national, aided two of the terrorists behind the attacks. “Declassified documents that came out 20 years later from the FBI said that the 9/11 Commission and the FBI absolutely were untruthful about Mohamed al-Bayoumi,” Ramaswamy said.

Here's how she set up seven income streams making up to five figures a month, as told to Amber Sunner. It took us six months to restock our Amazon sunglasses because of pandemic-induced supply-chain issues. I've continued to grow my FBA business; last month, I made $18,000 in sales from FBA. The software company Jungle Scout, which I used for my Amazon FBA business, approached me about an affiliate partnership. In July 2021, within three days I wrote and edited the course on growing a successful Amazon business.
