Input: The 1938 New England Hurricane ( also referred to as the Great New England Hurricane , Long Island Express , and Yankee Clipper ) was one of the deadliest and most destructive tropical cyclones to strike Long Island , New York , and New England . The storm formed near the coast of Africa on September 9 , becoming a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale , before making landfall as a Category 3 hurricane on Long Island on September 21 . It is estimated that the hurricane killed 682 people , damaged or destroyed more than 57,000 homes , and caused property losses estimated at $ 306 million ( $ 4.7 billion in 2017 ) . Damaged trees and buildings were still seen in the affected areas as late as 1951 . It remains the most powerful and deadliest hurricane in recorded New England history , perhaps eclipsed in landfall intensity only by the Great Colonial Hurricane of 1635 . at the time , roughly half of the 1938 new england hurricane 's existence went unnoticed . The Atlantic hurricane reanalysis in 2013 concluded that the storm developed into a tropical depression on September 9 off the coast of West Africa , but the United States Weather Bureau was unaware that a tropical cyclone existed until September 16 ; by then , it was already a well-developed hurricane and had tracked westward toward the Sargasso Sea . It reached hurricane strength on September 15 and continued to strengthen to a peak intensity of 160 mph ( 260 km/h ) near the Bahamas four days later , making it a Category 5-equivalent hurricane . The storm was propelled northward , rapidly paralleling the East Coast before making landfalls on Long Island and Connecticut as a Category 3-equivalent hurricane on September 21 . After moving inland , it transitioned into an extratropical cyclone and dissipated over Ontario on September 23 .

Input: The Tay Bridge Disaster occurred during a violent storm on Sunday 28 December 1879 , when the first Tay Rail Bridge collapsed as a train from Wormit to Dundee passed over it , killing all aboard . The bridge—designed by Sir Thomas Bouch—used lattice girders supported by iron piers , with cast iron columns and wrought iron cross-bracing . The piers were narrower and their cross-bracing was less extensive and robust than on previous similar designs by Bouch . Bouch had sought expert advice on wind loading when designing a proposed rail bridge over the Firth of Forth ; as a result of that advice he had made no explicit allowance for wind loading in the design of the Tay Bridge . There were other flaws in detailed design , in maintenance , and in quality control of castings , all of which were , at least in part , Bouch 's responsibility . Bouch died within the year , his reputation ruined . Future British bridge designs had to allow for wind loadings of up to . Bouch 's design for the Forth Bridge was not used .

Input: Texxas Jam was the informal nickname of an annual summer rock concert called the Texxas World Music Festival ( 1978–1988 ) . It was held in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl , and in Houston , at either the Astrodome or the Rice Stadium on the campus of Rice University . The original Texxas Jam was a three-day festival held over July 4 weekend in 1978 and encompassed rock and country . Texxas Jam was created by Louis Messina , promoter of Pace Concerts in Houston , and David Krebs , manager of the rock acts Ted Nugent and Aerosmith . Krebs wanted to duplicate the music festival California Jam II ( held March 18 , 1978 in Ontario , California ) in Texas . Krebs was unfamiliar with the territory , so he contacted Messina in Houston . A book , `` Texxas Jam : 1978–1988 , '' was published in March 2011 covering all 11 Texxas Jams . Notes : Ted Nugent joined Aerosmith on stage for a rousing rendition of `` Milk Cow Blues '' . For comic relief , Cheech & Chong entertained the crowd between a couple of acts . The temperature reached 104 degrees that day ( over 120 degrees on the field ) . To protect the Cotton Bowl , they covered the surface with black tarps . over 100,000 people were in attendance on the hottest day of the decade . The concert had hose sprinklers around the field edge to cool people off , and they hosed the crowd down with firehoses from the stage . First aid stations were busy . Artists who performed at the Texxas Jam . This was the first southern stadium rock show since ZZ Top played to 80,000 people at UT Austin on September 1 , 1974 and tore up the field . In the aftermath of the ZZ Top UT show there was never supposed to be another stadium rock show in Texas again , an informal prohibition that lasted all of four years . Notes : The order of appearance on this bill was TKO/Hagar/Nazareth/Van Halen/Boston/Heart/BOC . Blue Oyster Cult headlined this show . TKO was managed by the same management as Heart at the time , which is the reason for their appearance on the bill . KTXQ-FM Q-102 simulcast much of this concert throughout the day , with TKO , Hagar , Nazareth , and portions of Heart 's show aired live . Van Halen 's set was not broadcast , and KTXQ had to unplug their sound equipment for Boston 's set , which they did before Heart took the stage . As a result , only a portion of Heart 's set was aired , the sound being broadcast from microphones placed around the Cotton Bowl . Officially called `` The Last Concert of the Last Weekend of the Last Summer of the Seventies '' , Note : Rush performed pre-studio versions of `` The Spirit of Radio '' and `` Freewill '' . Notes : Savvy was bumped at the last minute by The Eagles management . Show lineup confirmed by Steve Jones of Savvy . Christopher Cross , who already did n't fit on the hard rocking Texxas Jam stage , was resoundingly booed at the outset of `` Sailing '' , then later cut his set short after throwing up on stage due to heat exhaustion . The Eagles refused to play at first and were an hour late going on due to issues with the 'Hard Rock ' line up . Notes : Savvy was originally scheduled to open , but was bumped by REO Speedwagon 's management ( same management as The Eagles in 1980 ) . Show lineup confirmed by Steve Jones of Savvy . Notes : The 81 ' Jam was only held in Houston that year because of the intense Summer heat in Tx . The decided to just have it at the Astrodome . Turned out to not be as successful as they hoped . Was moved back to Dallas in 82 ' Notes : The order of appearance was La Roux , Ozzy Osbourne , Loverboy , and then Foreigner . Notes : Ozzy had a shaved head and black makeup around his eyes – from a distance , it looked like a skull . Notes : It was a hot day that day . Sammy Hagar had a guitar stolen backstage at the Cotton Bowl show ; it was returned later that day . However , Hagar vowed to never play it again after it had been handled by someone else , and lit it on fire on stage . Right before Santana 's set the house music mix played their hit `` Winning '' , the lead singer and other band members came onstage and motioned to the sound mixers to try to get the song cut off , afterwards the band did not play `` Winning '' during their set . Correction : Sammy 's guitar was stolen from a previous Dallas show . Was recovered and Sammy held it until the Texxas Jam . Where he explained the incident and destroyed the guitar The guitar was never set on fire . Sammy smashed the guitar onstage and threw it into the crowd . Notes : Sammy came on right before Styx at the end . Ted Nugent and Rik Emmett joined Sammy Hagar on stage in Dallas for their version of Led Zeppelin 's `` Rock `` n Roll . '' Tommy Shaw recalls these shows as being some of the worst of his career . He claims to have feared for his life as his band was performing nothing but the rock opera `` Killroy was here '' after some of the best hard rock bands of the day had performed . ( This was the tour that essentially ended Styx . ) Notes : Bryan Adams ' drummer for this show was Matt Frenette of Loverboy . Notes : Leslie West joined BTO on stage to perform Mountain 's `` Mississippi Queen . '' Notes : The live concert footage for Poison 's video `` I Wo n't Forget You '' was filmed at this performance . The crowd seemed wild about Poison while in actuality a drunk concert goer was on top of a lighting tower ( about 30 ' up ) trampolining on the tarp roof in nothing but a pair of blue jeans . The crowd really enjoyed him and the Dallas PD 's attempt to get him safely to the ground . Also , Poison was joined onstage by Paul Stanley for their performance of KISS ' `` Strutter '' . The temperature in Dallas that day reached 104 degrees Fahrenheit , prompting many in the very crowded ground area to pass out and be lifted overhead to the indoor areas of the stadium where water fountains were at . Water from hoses was also sprayed on the concertgoers in the field . Notes : Metallica played `` Harvester of Sorrow '' for the first time live . Van Halen 's Sammy Hagar lost his voice after only a couple of songs . He then promised to play a free show in Dallas . A few years later , Van Halen did

Input: The 1704 Raid on Deerfield ( also known as the Deerfield Massacre ) occurred during Queen Anne 's War on February 29 when French and Native American forces under the command of Jean-Baptiste Hertel de Rouville attacked the English frontier settlement at Deerfield , Massachusetts , just before dawn . They burned part of the town and killed 47 villagers . The raiders left with 112 settlers as captives , whom they took overland the nearly 300 miles to Montreal . Some died along the way , and 60 were later redeemed ( ransomed by family and community ) . Others were adopted by Mohawk families and became assimilated into the tribe . In this period , the English and their Indian allies were involved in similar raids against French villages along the northern area between the spheres of influence . Typical of the small-scale frontier conflict in Queen Anne 's War , the French-led raid relied on a coalition of French soldiers and a variety of about 300 Indian warriors , mostly Abenaki but including a number of Pocumtuc who had once lived in the Deerfield area . Given the diversity of personnel , motivations , and material objectives , the raiders did not achieve full surprise when they entered the palisaded village . The defenders of some fortified houses in the village successfully held off the raiders until arriving reinforcements prompted their retreat . However , the raid was a clear victory for the French coalition that aimed to take captives and unsettle English colonial frontier society . More than 100 captives were taken , and about 40 percent of the village houses were destroyed . although predicted because of existing tensions during the war , the raid shocked new england colonists . Conflict increased with the French and their Native American allies . Frontier settlements took actions to fortify their towns and prepare for war . The raid has been immortalized as a part of the early American frontier story , principally due to the published account by a prominent captive , the Rev . John Williams . He and much of his family were taken on the long overland journey to Canada . His young daughter Eunice was adopted by a Mohawk family ; she became assimilated and married a Mohawk man . Williams ' account , `` The Redeemed Captive '' , was published in 1707 and was widely popular in the colonies .

Input: The 2008 IIHF World Championship was played between May 2 and May 18 , 2008 in the Canadian cities of Halifax ( Nova Scotia ) and Quebec City ( Quebec ) . The two venues were the Halifax Metro Centre and the Colisée Pepsi . The tournament was won by Russia which claimed its first gold medal since 1993 . It was the 72nd IIHF World Championship event , and was run by the International Ice Hockey Federation ( IIHF ) . It was the first time the final tournament is held in a non-European country since 1962 , when it was held in Colorado , USA . The IIHF wanted to celebrate the federation 's 100th anniversary by holding the tournament in the country where ice hockey was born . The tournament was also included as part of the celebrations of Quebec City 's 400th anniversary . The tournament featured many countries ' elite stars , as it served as the last and most important stage in selecting nine automatic qualifiers for the men 's hockey competition at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver , British Columbia , Canada , a process that uses the IIHF World Ranking standings after the tournament . On May 8 , 2007 , the IIHF announced it `` will also formalize the Triple Gold Club by awarding commemorative medals to the 19 players who have won the three most prestigious championships in world hockey : Olympic gold , Stanley Cup , and World Championship gold . The ceremony will take place in Canada during the 2008 World Championship . '' There were two changes in the format compared to earlier years . Because of the distance between Halifax and Quebec City , the quarter-finals were played within the group , instead of crossing over which has happened since 2000 . The relegation round was different too , as it consisted of two best-of-three series instead of a round robin series between four teams . For the first time in 40 years , the matches were played on smaller , NHL size rinks , 200 ft × 85 ft ( roughly 61 m × 26 m ) , compared to the IIHF standard which is roughly 200 ft × 98.5 ft ( 61 m × 30 m ) .

Input: The 2015 UEFA Europa League Final was the final match of the 2014–15 UEFA Europa League , the 44th season of Europe 's secondary club football tournament organised by UEFA , and the sixth season since it was renamed from the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Europa League . It was played at the National Stadium in Warsaw , Poland , on 27 May 2015 , between Ukrainian side Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk and the title holders , Spanish side Sevilla . Sevilla won the match 3–2 for a record fourth title . As winners , Sevilla earned the right to play against the winners of the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League , Barcelona , in the 2015 UEFA Super Cup . Moreover , for the first time , a place in the UEFA Champions League was reserved for the UEFA Europa League winners , meaning that Sevilla automatically qualified for the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League despite not qualifying through their domestic league position . They were guaranteed to enter at the group stage , since the 2015 Champions League finalists ( Juventus and Barcelona ) have already qualified for the group stage via their domestic leagues and therefore the berth in the group stage reserved for the Champions League title holders are not used .

Input: The Battle of Sullivan 's Island or the Battle of Fort Sullivan was fought on June 28 , 1776 , during the American Revolutionary War . It took place near Charleston , South Carolina , during the first British attempt to capture the city from American forces . It is also sometimes referred to as the First Siege of Charleston , owing to a more successful British siege in 1780 . The British organized an expedition in early 1776 for operations in the rebellious southern colonies of North America . Delayed by logistical concerns and bad weather , the expedition reached the coast of North Carolina in May 1776 . Finding conditions unsuitable for their operations , General Henry Clinton and Admiral Sir Peter Parker decided instead to act against Charlestown . Arriving there in early June , troops were landed on Long Island ( now called Isle of Palms ) , near Sullivan 's Island where Colonel William Moultrie commanded a partially constructed fort , in preparation for a naval bombardment and land assault . General Charles Lee , commanding the southern Continental theater of the war ,

Input: The Irish Rebellion of 1641 ( ) began as an attempted `` coup d'état '' by Irish Catholic gentry , who tried to seize control of the English administration in Ireland to force concessions for Catholics . The coup failed and the rebellion developed into an ethnic conflict between the Gaelic Irish and old English Catholics on one side , and both ethnically English Protestants and Scottish/Presbyterian planters on the other . This began a conflict known as the Irish Confederate Wars . The rising was sparked by Catholic fears of an impending invasion of Ireland by anti-Catholic forces of the English Long Parliament and the Scottish Covenanters , who were defying the authority of King Charles I ( king of England , Scotland , and Ireland ) . In turn , the rebels ' suspected association with Charles helped start the English Civil War . The English and Scottish Parliaments refused to raise an army to put down the rebellion unless it was under their command rather than the King 's . The Irish rebellion broke out in October 1641 and was followed by several months of violent chaos before the Irish Catholic upper classes and clergy formed the Catholic Confederation in the summer of 1642 . The Confederation became a de facto government of most of Ireland , free from the control of the English administration and loosely aligned with the Royalist side in the Wars of the Three Kingdoms . The subsequent Irish Confederate Wars continued in Ireland until the 1650s , when Oliver Cromwell 's New Model Army decisively defeated the Irish Catholics and Royalists , and re-conquered the country . The 1641 Irish Rebellion is seen as a key event in the mid-17th century collapse of the Stuart monarchy .

Input: operation unk was a series of eleven nuclear test shots conducted in 1953 at the nevada test site . It followed `` Operation Ivy '' and preceded `` Operation Castle '' . over 21,000 soldiers took part in the ground exercise desert rock v in conjunction with the `` grable '' shot . `` Grable '' was a 280mm AFAP shell fired from the `` Atomic Cannon '' and was viewed by a number of high-ranking military officials . The test series was notable as containing the first time an Artillery Fired Atomic Projectile AFAP artillery shell was fired ( `` GRABLE '' Shot ) , the first two shots ( both fizzles ) by University of California Radiation Laboratory—Livermore ( now Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory ) , and for testing out some of the thermonuclear components that would be used for the massive thermonuclear series of Operation Castle . One primary device ( RACER ) was tested in thermonuclear system mockup assemblies of TX-14 , TX-16 , and TX-17/TX-24 , to examine and evaluate the behaviour of radiation cases and the compression of the secondary geometries by the primary 's x-rays prior to full-scale testing during Castle . Following RACER 's dodgy performance , the COBRA primary was used in the emergency capability ALARM CLOCK , JUGHEAD , RUNT I , RUNT II thermonuclear devices , as well as in the SHRIMP device . RACER IV ( as redesigned and proof-tested in the Simon test ) was employed as primary for the ZOMBIE , RAMROD and MORGENSTERN devices .

Input: The Qinghe Special Steel Corporation disaster was an industrial disaster that occurred on April 18 , 2007 , in Qinghe District , Tieling , Liaoning , China . Thirty-two people were killed and six were injured when a ladle used to transport molten steel separated from an overhead rail in the Qinghe Special Steel Corporation factory . A subsequent investigation by the Chinese authorities found that the plant had been lacking many major safety features and was severely below regulation benchmarks , with the direct cause of the accident being attributed to inappropriate use of substandard equipment . The investigation also concluded that the various other safety failings at the facility were contributing factors . The report went on to criticize safety standards all throughout the Chinese steel industry . Sun Huashan , deputy head of the State Administration of Work Safety , said that it was `` the most serious accident to hit China 's steel industry since 1949 . ''

Input: The Toulouse and Montauban shootings were a series of Islamist terrorist attacks committed by Mohammed Merah from 11–19 March 2012 in the cities of Montauban and Toulouse in the Midi-Pyrénées region of France . He targeted French Army soldiers as well as children and teachers at a Jewish school . Seven people were killed and five wounded . On 11 March , Merah shot dead an off-duty French Army paratrooper in Toulouse . On 15 March , he killed two off-duty uniformed French soldiers and seriously wounded another in Montauban . On 19 March , he opened fire at the Ozar Hatorah Jewish day school in Toulouse , killing a rabbi and three children , also wounding four others . Merah filmed his attacks with a body-worn camera . Thereafter , France raised its `` Vigipirate , '' the terror alert system , to the highest level in the Midi-Pyrénées region and surrounding departements . The United Nations , many governments around the world and the French Council of the Muslim Faith condemned the attacks . The gunman , Mohammed Merah , was a 23-year-old French petty criminal of Algerian descent who was born and raised in Toulouse . He claimed allegiance to Al-Qaeda and said he carried out his attacks because of France 's participation in the War in Afghanistan and its ban on Islamic face veils , and justified his attack on the Jewish school because `` The Jews kill our brothers and sisters in Palestine '' . He was killed on 22 March by a police tactical unit after a 30-hour siege at his rented apartment there , during which he wounded six agents . His brother and another man were later convicted of taking part in a `` terrorist conspiracy '' over the attacks .

Input: The Abkhaz–Georgian conflict involves ethnic conflict between Georgians and the Abkhaz people in Abkhazia , a `` de facto '' independent , partially recognized republic . In a broader sense , one can view the Georgian–Abkhaz conflict as part of a geopolitical conflict in the Caucasus region , intensified at the end of the 20th century with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 . The conflict , one of the bloodiest in the post-Soviet area , remains unresolved . The Georgian government has offered substantial autonomy to Abkhazia several times . However , both the Abkhaz government and the opposition in Abkhazia refuse any form of union with Georgia . Abkhaz regard their independence as the result of a war of liberation from Georgia , while Georgians believe that historically Abkhazia has always formed part of Georgia . Georgians formed the single largest ethnic group in pre-war Abkhazia , with a 45.7 % plurality as of 1989 but most Georgians left in Abkhazia want to remain independent of Georgia . Many accuse the government of Eduard Shevardnadze ( in office 1992-2003 ) of the initiation of senseless hostilities , and then of ineffective conduct of the war and post-war diplomacy . During the war the Abkhaz separatist side carried out an ethnic cleansing campaign which resulted in the expulsion of up to 250,000 ethnic Georgians and in the killing of from 4,000 to 15,000 . the organization for security and co-operation in europe ( osce ) conventions of lisbon , budapest and istanbul have officially recognized the ethnic cleansing of georgians , which un general assembly resolution unk also mentions . The UN Security Council has passed a series of resolutions in which it appeals for a cease-fire .

Input: In 2015 , U.S. federal prosecutors disclosed cases of corruption by officials and associates connected with the Fédération Internationale de Football Association ( FIFA ) , the governing body of association football , futsal and beach soccer . near the end of may 2015 , fourteen people were indicted in connection with an investigation by the united states federal bureau of investigation ( fbi ) and the internal revenue service criminal investigation division ( unk ) into wire fraud , racketeering , and money laundering . The United States Attorney General simultaneously announced the unsealing of the indictments and the prior guilty pleas by four football executives and two corporations . The investigation mostly revolved around collusion between officials of continental football bodies CONMEBOL ( South America ) and CONCACAF ( Caribbean , Central and North America ) , and sports marketing executives . The sports marketing executives were holders of media and marketing rights for high-profile international competitions including the Americas ' FIFA World Cup qualifying tournaments , and showpiece tournaments CONCACAF Gold Cup and Copa América . CONCACAF President Jeffrey Webb , also serving president of the Cayman Islands Football Association , was arrested in connection with the investigation , as were two sitting FIFA Executive Committee members : Eduardo Li of the Costa Rican Football Federation and Eugenio Figueredo , formerly of the Uruguayan Football Association , and former CONMEBOL President Nicolás Leoz . The investigation lasted several years , with the first arrest , of former CONCACAF president Jack Warner 's son Daryll , made in July 2013 .

Input: The Byzantine–Seljuq Wars were a series of decisive battles that shifted the balance of power in Asia Minor and Syria from the Byzantine Empire to the Seljuqs . Riding from the steppes of Central Asia , the Seljuq replicated tactics practiced by the Huns hundreds of years earlier against a similar Roman opponent but now combining it with new-found Islamic zeal ; in many ways , the Seljuq resumed the conquests of the Muslims in the Byzantine–Arab Wars initiated by the Rashidun , Umayyad and Abassid Caliphate in the Levant , North Africa and Asia Minor . Today , the Battle of Manzikert is widely seen as the moment when the Byzantines lost the war against the Turks ; however the Byzantine military was of questionable quality before 1071 with regular Turkish incursions overrunning the failing theme system . Even after Manzikert , Byzantine rule over Asia Minor did not end immediately , nor were any heavy concessions levied by the Turks on their opponents – it took another 20 years before the Turks were in control of the entire Anatolian peninsula and not for long either . During the course of the war , the Seljuq Turks and their allies attacked the Fatimid Caliphate of Egypt , capturing Jerusalem and catalyzing the call for the First Crusade . Crusader assistance to the Byzantine Empire was mixed with treachery and looting , although substantial gains were made in the First Crusade . Within a hundred years of Manzikert , the Byzantines had successfully driven back the Turks from the coasts of Asia Minor and extended their influence right down to Palestine and even Egypt . Later , the Byzantines were unable to extract any more assistance , and the Fourth Crusade even led to the sack of Constantinople . Before the conflict petered out , the Seljuqs managed to take more territory from the weakened Empire of Nicaea until the Sultanate itself was taken over by the Mongols , leading to the rise of the ghazis and the conclusive Byzantine–Ottoman wars .

Input: The Action of 7 May 1794 was a minor naval action fought between a British ship of the line and a French frigate early in the French Revolutionary Wars . The French Navy sought to disrupt British trade by intercepting and capturing merchant ships with roving frigates , a strategy countered by protecting British convoys with heavier warships , particularly in European waters . On 5 May 1794 , the British escorts of a convoy from Cork sighted two French ships approaching and gave chase . The ships , a frigate and a corvette , outmatched by their opponents , separated and the convoy escorts did likewise , each following one of the raiders on a separate course . By the evening one of the French ships had successfully escaped , but the other was still under pursuit , Captain Charles Linois of `` Atalante '' attempting a number of tactics to drive off his opponent but without success . Eventually , after a chase lasting nearly two days , the French ship came within range of the much larger British 74-gun third rate HMS `` Swiftsure '' and despite a brave defence was soon forced to surrender after suffering more than 40 casualties . although he had surrendered his ship , linois was widely praised for his actions in defending his ship against such heavy odds . In the aftermath of the engagement , a French battle squadron that formed part of the developing Atlantic campaign of May 1794 pursued both ships for the rest of the day ; their quarry eventually escaped after dark . `` Atalante '' was later taken into the Royal Navy as HMS `` Espion '' .

Input: The Annecy shootings , also the French Alps shootings or the Chevaline killings , were the deaths on 5 September 2012 of three members of a British family and a French citizen on the `` Route Forestière Domaniale de la Combe d'Ire '' near Chevaline , Haute-Savoie , near the southern end of Lake Annecy . Four people were killed : an Iraqi-born British tourist named Saad al-Hilli , 50 ; his wife Iqbal , 47 ; her mother Suhaila al-Allaf , 74 , who held a Swedish passport ; and French cyclist Sylvain Mollier , 45 . The al-Hillis ' two daughters both survived the attack . One , aged four , was hidden under the legs of her dead mother in the rear footwell for eight hours even while the gendarmerie were on the scene ; she was only discovered by specialist forensic investigators . The elder daughter , aged seven , was shot in the shoulder and also suffered a head wound ; she returned to the United Kingdom on 14 September 2012 . Police investigated al-Hilli 's past in Iraq as an engineer on sensitive topics , as well as his work at the time of his death , as a potential motive for the attack . Al-Hilli 's work in the UK involved nuclear and satellite technology , whilst Mollier was also probed to determine if he was the primary target of the attack . The attack has been compared to the 1952 killing of biochemist Jack Drummond in the Dominici Affair . In September 2017 , after 5 years of investigation , French police said they had `` no working theory '' to explain the murders and no suspects . Veronique Dizot , the lead prosecutor , suggested that the family `` may have been targeted randomly . ''

Input: Osama bin Laden , the founder and first leader of the Islamist terrorist group , Al-Qaeda , was killed in Pakistan on May 2 , 2011 , shortly after 1:00 am PKT ( 20:00 UTC , May 1 ) by United States Navy SEALs of the U.S . Naval Special Warfare Development Group ( also known as DEVGRU or SEAL Team Six ) . the operation , code-named operation neptune spear , was carried out in a unk operation with joint special operations command , commonly known as jsoc , coordinating the special mission units involved in the raid . In addition to SEAL Team Six , participating units under JSOC included the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment ( Airborne ) —also known as `` Night Stalkers '' —and operators from the CIA 's Special Activities Division , which recruits heavily from former JSOC Special Mission Units . The operation ended a nearly 10-year search for bin Laden , following his role in the September 11 attacks on the United States . The raid on bin Laden 's compound in Abbottabad , Pakistan was launched from Afghanistan . U.S. military officials said that after the raid U.S. forces took the body of bin Laden to Afghanistan for identification , then buried it at sea within 24 hours of his death in accordance with Islamic tradition . Al-Qaeda confirmed the death on May 6 with posts made on militant websites , vowing to avenge the killing . Other Pakistani militant groups , including the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan , vowed retaliation against the U.S. and against Pakistan for not preventing the operation . The raid was supported by over 90 % of the American public , was welcomed by the United Nations , NATO , the European Union and a large number of governments , but was condemned by others , including two-thirds of the Pakistani public . Legal and ethical aspects of the killing , such as his not being taken alive despite being unarmed , were questioned by others , including Amnesty International . Also controversial was the decision not to release any photographic or DNA evidence of bin Laden 's death to the public . In the aftermath of the killing , Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani formed a commission under Senior Justice Javed Iqbal to investigate the circumstances surrounding the attack . the resulting abbottabad commission report , which revealed pakistani state military and intelligence authorities ' `` collective failure '' that enabled bin laden to hide in pakistan for nine years , was leaked to al jazeera on july 8 , 2013 .

Input: The Laotian Civil War ( 1959–75 ) was a civil war in Laos fought between the Communist Pathet Lao ( including many North Vietnamese of Lao ancestry ) and the Royal Lao Government from 23 May 1959 to 2 December 1975 . It is associated with the Cambodian Civil War and the Vietnam War , with both sides receiving heavy external support in a proxy war between the global Cold War superpowers . It is called the Secret War among the CIA Special Activities Division and Hmong veterans of the conflict . The Kingdom of Laos was a covert theater for other belligerents during the Vietnam War . the unk treaty of amity and association ( signed 22 october 1953 ) transferred remaining french powers to the royal lao government ( except control of military affairs ) , establishing laos as an independent member of the french union . However , this government did not include representatives from the Lao Issara anti-colonial armed nationalist movement . The following years were marked by a rivalry between the neutralists under Prince Souvanna Phouma , the right wing under Prince Boun Oum of Champassak , and the left-wing Lao Patriotic Front under Prince Souphanouvong and half-Vietnamese future Prime Minister Kaysone Phomvihane . Several attempts were made to establish coalition governments , and a `` tri-coalition '' government was finally seated in Vientiane . The actual fighting in Laos involved the North Vietnamese Army , U.S. troops and Thai forces and South Vietnamese army forces directly and through irregular proxies in a struggle for control over the Laotian Panhandle . The North Vietnamese Army occupied the area to use for its Ho Chi Minh Trail supply corridor and as staging area for offensives into South Vietnam . There was a second major theater of action on and near the northern Plain of Jars . The North Vietnamese and Pathet Lao eventually emerged victorious in 1975 , as part of the general communist victory in all of former French Indochina that year . A total of up to 300,000 people from Laos fled to neighboring Thailand following the Pathet Lao takeover . After the communists took power in Laos , Hmong rebels fought the new government . The Hmong were persecuted as traitors and `` lackeys '' of the Americans , with the government and its Vietnamese allies carrying out human rights abuses against Hmong civilians . The incipient conflict between Vietnam and China also played a role with Hmong rebels being accused of receiving support from China . over 40,000 people died in the conflict . The Lao royal family were arrested by the Pathet Lao after the war and sent to labor camps , where most of them died in the late 1970s and 1980s , including King Savang Vatthana , Queen Khamphoui , and Crown Prince Vong Savang .
