FAA Allows Amazon to Fly Drones Experimentally

Recently amazon was granted permission to attempt flying products to customers with the use of drones.  This was quite a process to allow therefore Amazon has many rules and restrictions to follow.  Some of these restrictions are flying below 400 feet in daylight, pilot must have a pilots license, and must be 500 feet away from pedestrians.  The FAA has been very strict about their use of drones and Amazon must give reports to the FAA every month about the flights.  Amazons hopes to be able to deliver products directly to customers within 30 minutes of purchase.  This privilege to Amazon has opened many doors and is a positive step regarding technology and online shopping along with job opportunities.

Bomb Blast in Downtown Cairo Wounds 9 People

On Monday, an extremist group involved with ISIS labeling themselves "Revolutionary Punishment" had two bombs planted in downtown Cairo.  One bomb was planted under a parked car out in front of the High Court, which is the highest criminal court located in the country of Egypt.  This bomb wounded 9 individuals including three police officers but had no fatalities.  The second bomb was disarmed before it could explode.  They were hoping to target and kill a group of police officers with the timing of the explosion which partially worked.   This event raised much fear throughout Egypt and was followed by another bomb in southern Egypt which killed two individuals.

US Keeping ISIS Kill List

The United States currently has a list of dangerous ISIS members they are hoping to bomb if located.  Most of the members of ISIS are located in Syria and Iraq but the United States problem is that we no longer have military in those countries.  al-Baghdadi is at the top of the hit list but has been aware the United States has a hit on him therefore has gone unseen in the past few months.  On the other hand, at least 15 members of ISIS have already been killed by our military.  The biggest problem we are facing is that ISIS is growing very quickly and spreading to surrounding countries of Iraq and Syria making attacks more dangerous every day.
