(CBS/AP) NEW YORK – The first sign of terror was a single camera shot that suddenly appeared on every television set: 오산출장샵 a skyscraper bathed in the morning sun, smoke pouring from its side.

Whether in a bar in Tahiti or office building in New York, television was the central gathering place for people to experience 9/11.

Updated at 1:11 p.m. ET (AP) BEIRUT – Regime airstrikes hit a gas station in northern Syria Thursday, setting off a fiery explosion that killed at least 30 people and wounded dozens, opposition activists said. Amateur video showed thick black smoke engulfing the scene. Earlier Thursday, a Syrian military helicopter crashed near the capital of Damascus, and Syria’s Information Ministry said the helicopter went down after accidentally clipping the tail of a Syrian passenger plane with 200 people on board. The larger aircraft landed safely at Damascus International Airport and no one was hurt, the Information Ministry said. The airstrikes and the close call in the sky underscored the growing turmoil and violence in Syria. The country is embroiled in a civil war between forces fighting for President Bashar Assad and those trying to topple him. More than 23,000 people have been killed in the conflict, according to activists. In recent weeks, Assad’s regime has stepped up airstrikes in northern Syria in an attempt to dislodge rebels from areas they control there. Activists said Thursday’s airstrike hit near the town of Ain Issa, about 25 miles from the Turkish border. A day earlier, rebel fighters had seized control of a border crossing north of the town. Rami Abdul-Rahman of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said witnesses counted at least 30 bodies and said dozens of people were...

For the first time ever, 해외 스포츠 사이트 U.S. attorneys say they have successfully prosecuted a top pharmaceutical executive in the government’s fight against opioids. A federal jury on Thursday convicted Insys Therapeutics founder John Kapoor and four other former executives of the company. Prosecutors accused them of bribing doctors to prescribe a highly addictive fentanyl spray – called Subsys. One-time billionaire Kapoor was once one of the country’s biggest pharmaceutical executives. Thursday’s verdict is a sign of the government’s mounting efforts to hold drugmakers and distributors accountable for the nationwide opioid crisis. Among the pieces of evidence presented during the 10-week trial: a five-minute video promoting the fentanyl spray Subsys, featuring an Insys company salesman rapping about prescribing higher drug doses using a process known as “titration.” Prosecutors say the video was just one of the dubious tactics Insys used to boost profits which also included bribing doctors by paying them for sham speaking engagements. In 2017, CBS News learned Insys made 18,000 payments to doctors in 2016 totaling more than $2 million. Michael Canty, a former federal prosecutor who has advised states on suing opioid companies, said the prosecution’s case had “very good evidence.” “I think that this will send a message to other prosecutors that, look, these are cases that can be brought. If you have the evidence and you can put it before a jury,...
