The U.S. Department of Justice has opened an investigation on a New Jersey city's rejection of a planned mosque, a spokesman confirmed on Tuesday. The U.S. Attorney's office in New Jersey, in conjunction with members of the department's civil rights headquarters in Washington, D.C., is examining whether officials in Bayonne, New Jersey, properly denied plans to build a mosque, according to Matthew Reilly, a spokesman for the New Jersey office. The Bayonne Muslims, the group seeking to construct the mosque, filed a federal lawsuit against the city last week.
The US has successfully tested a long-range interceptor designed to shoot down intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) for the first time, the military reports. The interceptor – frequently described as a “high-speed effort to hit a bullet with another bullet” – was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. It met an ICBM fired by the US from the Marshall Islands somewhere over the Pacific Ocean.
