Bummer June 23rd
June 23, 1985: Air India Flight 182 is destroyed by a terrorist bomb over the Atlantic Ocean approximately 120 miles from Ireland. All 329 people on board are killed.
Friday, June 23, 2006: An imam in Kolkata issues a fatwa against Bangladeshi-Swiss physician and author Taslima Nasreen. The then-imam of Kolkata's Tipu Sultan Mosque accused Nasreen of making anti-Islamic remarks at a conference in that Indian city on Saturday, June 10, 2006. He called her a "Jewish spy" (there is no evidence that Nasreen has any ties to Israel) and offered a bounty of 50,000 rupees to anyone who drove her out of India. (Source: The Times of India)
