Abu Hamza, imam of the Finsbury Park Mosque and extradited to the US, originally came from which country? NFI, guess Pakistan?

Who shot Jean Charles de Menezes in 2005? His assailant, I do not even know who he is?

Undercover MET firearms officer shot Menezes.

Dame Cressida Dick quit as MET Commissioner.

For info. Gus Grissom was also the Lead Astronaut in NASA's Apollo program and probably would have been the first man on the moon hadn't he been killed.

Kiki Camarena was a DEA officer killed by the drug cartel in Mexico.
Was featured in Narco Mecico. I'm pretty sure it was during Felix Gallardo reign before El Chapo came to power.

Yes, he looks like a proper Bond villain.

Artemis is the new moon shot programme. The moon is a good hop off point for further star trekking as well as a science station and mining plant.
