Russian espionage in the North Sea

The World
This Oct. 30, 2002, file photo shows a speed boat passing by offshore windmills in the North Sea offshore from near Esbjerg, Denmark. 

According to intelligence sources, a Russian military program is currently mapping offshore wind farms, gas pipelines, and power and internet cables in the waters around Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Sweden. And, Boston’s first and only Yemeni restaurant marks Ramadan. Also, the deadliest mass shooting in Canadian history happened three years ago this week in Nova Scotia. It led to new restrictions on guns, which in turn added fuel to a growing guns rights movement. Plus, a Yiddish “street song” pays homage to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
