Iran has sworn to wipe Israel off the face of the map (to many it is their religious duty). They (Jews and Muslims) have been bitter enemies since the time of Abraham. Once Iran has nuclear weapons (just a matter of time), all it will take is a few people…

A former construction company executive = suspended sentence. "He has been socially sanctioned". Oh, I'm sure that's a deterrent to crime. "Hey, we better not, a few people who we'll never meet might get a bad opinion of us".

"Local authorities think it was probably a tornado as the damage was limited to a small area of about 100 meters in width and around 1 kilometer in length." How scientific. Ever hear of a micro burst? How about checking with the JMA.
