Explosion damages Amitay home linked to Hanafi case
Five people narrowly escape injury when a bomb rips into the sunflower Drive home of Morris Amitay, head of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee liaison office. Investigators say a 400 foot cord connected to a high magnitude blast was detonated nearby, with federal and local agencies probing possible Arab involvement and Hanafi retaliation. The blast damages the house and neighboring property, while the only casualty is the family’s beagle, Ringo.

BOE restores teachers' raise by tapping funds
ROCKVILLE The Board of Education on Monday voted to use up fiscal gimmickry to raise the daily rate for regular substitutes to 34.50 while delaying non-classroom hires and selectively using long-term substitutes to cover vacancies. The move hinges on County Council approval of 62,000 transferred funds to fund the six percent cost of living increase, with negotiations over further pay for substitutes not resolved. Dr. Bernardo warned the plan commits the district to consequences and possible future layoffs as the county reviews the transfer.
