My old friend and colleague, Martin Bell is one of the best-known and most highly regarded British broadcast journalists. As a veteran BBC war correspondent, Bell has covered foreign assignments in more than eighty countries and eleven wars: including the Arab-Israeli wars of 1967, Vietnam, Nigeria, Angola, Zimbabwe, Nicaragua, El Salvador, where I worked with him as his Spanish-speaking news producer, at The Gulf, in Croatia and finally in Bosnia, where millions of TV viewers watched as he was nearly killed by shrapnel.

Are We Safe From Terror 10 Years Later?

New York City's sudden beefed-up security measures, just ahead of the 10th anniversary of 9/11 has some questioning the heightened terror threat. Officials say it is meant to foil a plot and ward-off would-be criminals. Investigators also say that specific and credible information about a supposed plan apparently involves three veteran terrorists - one, or two possibly holding US passports.

City Island Community Center, or Personal Piggy Bank?
As a long-time resident of City Island, a true and total owner of a condo at The Old Schoolhouse - PS 17, located at 190 Fordham Street, I am very concerned about how the City Island Community Center has not fulfilled it’s mission: to provide our City Island community a space for City Island residents to celebrate through educational, cultural and artistic events produced by and for City Islanders.

On September 11, 2001 the global Jihadist movement attacked our world, as we knew it and our consciousness, as we lived it. Now, ten years later, thanks in part to the Arab Spring and the Navy Seals killing Osama bin Laden, that group appears to be in crisis. Western-backed dictators are finally falling, so you would think that Al Qaeda might be closer to its goal of defeating the infidels and building Islamic states. But the revolutions have empowered the group's chief rivals: Islamist parliamentarians, who are more prone to use ballots, than bullets.
