Adam Kokesh charged with felony assault on an officer held w

2013-05-20T18:46:51.736Z

Adam has appeared in front of a judge and from the looks of it he is in good health... He remained silent throughout the entire process not even speaking to the lawyer that I coordinated with earlier... He has a detention hearing scheduled for Thursday at 13:30... The reason for the detention hearing is because Adam will not speak on if he owns fire arms or his address. More to come. - Lucas Jewell

The September 11 attacks (often referred to as September 11, September 11th or 9/11, in combination with the attacks' side effects on that day) were a series of four coordinated suicide attacks by al-Qaeda upon the United States on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. On that morning, 19 al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners. The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing everyone on board and thousands of those working in the buildings. Both towers collapsed within two hours, destroying nearby buildings and damaging others. A third airliner was crashed into the Pentagon. Hijackers had redirected the fourth plane toward Washington, D. C. , targeting either the Capitol Building or the White House, but crashed it in a field near Shanksville in rural Pennsylvania after passengers attempted to retake control of the airliner. There were no survivors from any of the flights. Nearly 3,000 victims and the 19 hijackers died in the attacks. Among the 2,753 victims who died in the attacks on the World Trade Center were 343 firefighters and 60 police officers from New York City and the Port Authority, and 8 private emergency medical technicians and paramedics. Another 184 people were killed in the attack on the Pentagon. The overwhelming majority of casualties were civilians, including nationals of over 70 countries.

(Reuters) - NATO planners are finding it harder to isolate targets in Tripoli due to rebel movement throughout the city, a U.S. official said on Tuesday, as Defence Secretary Leon Panetta voiced hopes the alliance could soon start winding down its Libya mission.

The United States, which is providing Predator drones and other air capabilities to the NATO mission, had sharply stepped up the tempo of its air strikes on Libya over the past week and a half, according to Pentagon data.

Operation "Red Dragon" is a mock drill being staged throughout Southeastern Wisconsin

"Operation Red Dragon" Disaster Drills Today
By Gene Mueller, Diane Pathieu and Jay Sorgi

RACINE - Don't be alarmed if you see a lot of activity at area hospitals.

There's a huge training exercise going on throughout the day across Southeastern Wisconsin.

16 local hospitals and 3,000 U.S. Army soldiers are part of Operation "Red Dragon," a mock drill being staged throughout Southeastern Wisconsin on Wednesday.

It starts with a pretend major explosion, such as a dirty bomb going off at a local mall.

Victims of the chemical explosion are rushed to area hospitals.

15 of them arrive at Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare All Saints in Racine.

They are first stripped down, evaluated and rushed into a red trailer, where they are sprayed down.

The victims then connect with medical staff and enter the hospital for treatment.

"I think they did really well they provided us with instructions and they had a handle on it," said U.S. Army Reserve Sergeant Lisa Rauch, who played one of the victims.

The whole purpose of these drills is to coordinate hospital staff and military, and figure out how to care for patients during a major disaster while keeping the hospitals up and running.

All Saints Hospital volunteered for this, and staffers there are glad they did.

"It's not very often that we're able to do this in a real life scenario, so its good pratice for us as well," said All Saints EMS Coordinator Dave Piccolo.

The drill is the largest full-scale exercise of its kind in the country this year.

If you're heading to an area hospital during that time, chances are you'll see some of these training activities happening, so there is no reason to be alarmed.

"I don't want the community to view us as a threat, or that we're there to take over anything," said Lt. Col. Leslie Dillard, chief of Homeland Defense for the 335th Signal Command/U.S. Army Reserves based in Georgia. "We're there to train with their personnel in the community, and help make us better as responders, just in case something happens."

Among those involved: Froedert, Childrens, Columbia St. Mary's, Wheaton Franciscan All Saints Racine, Oconomowoc, Waukesha, Aurora Sinai, St. Luke's, West Allis Memorial, Elmbrook, Wisconsin Heart Hospital and Aurora Kenosha.

You may notice some street closures around the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center, but hospital operations will be going on as usual.
