While LA senators sleep with prostitutes and embezzle funds to promote technology in Africa, the West Bank heats up something fierce:

A Terrytown cabdriver who allegedly fired four shots at a car with two children inside has been booked in St. Charles Parish with attempted manslaughter.

The cabbie, Thayer M. Hamdalla, 23, allegedly fired one of the shots at the vehicle through the windshield of his United cab after tailgating the other vehicle, passing it and slamming on his brakes on Interstate 10 in St. Charles Parish, Sheriff's Office spokesman Capt. Patrick Yoes said.
