Texan Attacks Ex-Wife’s Husband with Crossbow
A Texas man flew to Australia, went to his ex-wife’s home and attacked her husband with a crossbow and a tomahawk Tuesday. Jeffery Hooten, 49, was arrested in New South Wales, Australia and charged with attempted Âmurder and malicious wounding with intent to Âinflict grievous bodily harm. Greg Williams, 56, deflected the crossbow bolt with his laptop, but took one tomahawk chop to the head as the men grappled. A neighbor intervened and helped Williams restrain Hooten. “He brings out this tomahawk and he swings over the top with his right hand and I managed to block him a bit, but he still got me on the noggin,” Williams said.
Hamas Rocket Halts Airline Flights to Israel
Juan Cole: A Hamas rocket hit and destroyed a house in Yahoud, a town only a mile from Ben Gurion Airport in Israel on Tuesday, raising severe alarm in among the international airlines and leading most of them to cancel flights to Tel Aviv. … In essence, Hamas by targeting the airport (it wasn’t trying to hit a house in Yahoud but rather the runway at Bengurion International) has hit upon a new strategy, of imposing willy nilly an international boycott on Israeli aviation.
