As The CJN Daily continues its brief summer hiatus, we're bringing subscribers another compilation of some of our favourite stories.
Today, two episodes in one: Canadians remember the Iraqi Farhud, a pogrom in 1941, as well as Argentina's AMIA bombing in 1994, which remains the country's biggest unsolved terror attack.
