2 FBI Agents Involved in Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's Arrest "FALL" Out of Helicopter and Die .................................................................. 12160.info ^ \| ralph hornsby Just like SEAL team 6 after OBL. Two members of the FBI’s elite counterterrorism unit died Friday while practicing how to quickly drop from a helicopter to a ship using a rope, the FBI announced Monday in a statement. The statement gave few details regarding the deaths of Special Agents Christopher Lorek and Stephen Shaw, other than to say the helicopter encountered unspecified difficulties and the agents fell a “significant distance.” Last month, the team was involved in the arrest of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings. And in February, it rescued a 5-year-old boy held hostage for six days in an underground bunker in Alabama. “Whenever things go really wrong, the FBI calls in the Hostage Rescue Team. It’s the government’s 911,” Coulson said. Irvin Wells, a former FBI special agent who retired in 1990 after leading the Norfolk field office for three years, stressed that the Hostage Rescue Team is different from the FBI’s regular SWAT teams. He noted that agents assigned to a field office’s SWAT team also must perform other jobs inside the bureau, while agents assigned to the Hostage Rescue Team have no other duties. hamptonroads.com legacy.com

That’s the thing about Sweden: just when you think there is not a single good thing about the country, you are forced to admit that they have the world’s most fetching meter maids. Still, that doesn’t prevent the decline of civilization from proceeding apace in Sweden, as in Great Britain. Uh..........what evidence does the author provide that Sweden's civilization is declining? To my knowledge these are Sweden's first riots since WW II. The US has them every few years. Sweden has one of the most successful economies in the world. The Swedes have one of the highest standards of living in the world and the country tends to rank in the top 10 or 20 when it comes to infant mortality, life span or literacy. Sweden in decline? I don't think so. You all need to worry more about what's going on at home............I wish things here were as good as they are in Sweden.
