The case for this was over the close ties of Washington with Israel. Other similar attacks have happened at Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken and Chili House.

"The KFC attack unfolded like a robbery — except the attackers weren’t after the money.
Security camera footage shows the masked men bursting into the fast food restaurant as horrified workers and customers escape through a back exit. The men then proceed to smash windows and LED screens, break chairs, tables, kitchen appliances — and whatever else they could find" (AP)

📸: Sonar Systems, first developed by the US Navy to detect enemy submarines, can in fact injure or even kill marine life. These sonar waves top around 235 decibels with the ability to travel hundreds of miles - up to 300 miles away.

While little is known about any direct physiological effects of sonar waves on marine species, evidence shows that whales will swim hundreds of miles, rapidly change their depth (sometime leading to bleeding from the eyes and ears), and even beach themselves to get away from the sounds of sonar.
