The war ended in 1995, but tensions within the country were still high.</p><p>"There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base," she said in 2008.</p><p>The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/05/23/recalling-hillary-clintons-claim-of-landing-under-sniper-fire-in-bosnia/">debunked this claim</a> days after Clinton made it.</p><p>Old news&#xa0;footage reveals that there <em>was</em> in fact a greeting ceremony at Tuzla Air Base when Clinton landed. She met an 8-year-old Muslim girl who read her a poem, and video of the landing shows Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea, calmly walking away from the plane and then greeting people on the tarmac:</p><p><div></div></p><p>In the footage, Clinton held&#xa0;a bouquet of flowers while she spoke&#xa0;to people gathered on the tarmac. Another shot showed her strolling near the plane with a group of young people.</p><p>Donald Trump has brought up the Bosnia lie on the campaign trail. The likely Republican nominee for president called Clinton a "world-class liar" in a speech on Wednesday, citing&#xa0;her "phony landing in Bosnia where she said she was under attack and the attack turned out to be young girls handing her flowers."</p><p>Clinton's Bosnia story is widely regarded as a lie.&#xa0;</p><p>A&#xa0;CBS News correspondent who was on the trip with Clinton <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/not-the-safest-trip-but-no-sniper-fire/">wrote her own account of it in 2008</a>, after Clinton's speech at George Washington University. She did admit that there were some potential security risks, but acknowledged that it didn't rise to the level of landing under sniper fire.</p><p>Sharyl Attkisson recalled:</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">"Due to the possibility of sniper fire, our pilots used what we were told are 'assault take-offs and landings.' In short, the climb and descent are very fast, and very steep to minimize exposure to hostile fire on the ground."</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">"It's exciting and frightening and, in the midst of it all, wearing our helmets and bulletproof vests, it's easy to imagine we may be narrowly escaping enemy bullets."</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">"In reality, we had no known incidents of enemy fire on our aircraft."</p><p>To be fair, however,&#xa0;Attkisson did note in her <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pef5AUt-tic">1996 CBS report</a> that the "frontline outpost" Clinton and Chelsea visited was "one of the most dangerous places where US forces are operating."</p><p>"The president himself never made it this far inside Bosnia when he visited in January," Attkisson said in the report.</p><p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div><h3>The Clinton campaign's response</h3><p>Immediately after the 2008 speech, Clinton held her ground.</p><p>PolitiFact <a href="http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2008/mar/25/hillary-clinton/video-shows-tarmac-welcome-no-snipers/">noted</a> that when&#xa0;a reporter asked her about the Bosnia trip after the speech, Clinton said: "There was no greeting ceremony, and we basically were told to run to our cars. Now, that is what happened."</p><p>But days later, she&#xa0;<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/03/25/campaign.wrap/index.html?iref=hpmostpop">admitted that she "misspoke"</a> about the Bosnia visit.</p><p>"I say a lot of things - millions of words a day - so if I misspoke, that was just a misstatement," she told the Philadelphia Daily News' editorial board at the time.</p><p>She continued: "I was told we had to land a certain way, we had to have our bulletproof stuff on because of the threat of sniper fire. I was also told that the greeting ceremony had been moved away from the tarmac but that there was this 8-year-old girl and, I can't, I can't rush by her, I've got to at least greet her - so I greeted her, I took her stuff and then I left. Now that's my memory of it."</p><p>At the time, the&#xa0;Clinton campaign sought to downplay the Bosnia story.</p><p>Then-Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson told reporters in 2008:</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">"The facts are clear from contemporaneous news accounts that she was entering a potentially dangerous situation. She has written about this before, she has talked about this before and there you have it. Now, is it possible that in the most recent instance in which she discussed this that she misspoke, with regards to the exit from the plane, but there's no question that I hope everyone is clear about this in the reporting, there is no question if you look at these contemporaneous accounts that she was going to a potential combat zone, that it was by the front lines and the first person since Eleanore Roosevelt to do that and she was going into a hostile military environment."</p><p>After the Post ran its original Bosnia fact-check story in 2008, former Clinton speechwriter&#xa0;Lissa Muscatine, who accompanied Clinton on the trip, contacted the newspaper with this statement:</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">"I was on the plane with then First Lady Hillary Clinton for the trip from Germany into Bosnia in 1996. We were put on a C-17 - a plane capable of steep ascents and descents - precisely because we were flying into what was considered a combat zone. We were issued flak jackets for the final leg because of possible sniper fire near Tuzla. As an additional precaution, the First Lady and Chelsea were moved to the armored cockpit for the descent into Tuzla. We were told that a welcoming ceremony on the tarmac might be canceled because of sniper fire in the hills surrounding the air strip. From Tuzla, Hillary flew to two outposts in Bosnia with gunships escorting her helicopter."</p><p>But the speech at George Washington University wasn't the only time Clinton&#xa0;told of a dangerous trip to Bosnia.</p><p>PolitiFact pointed out that in 2007, she told The Des Moines Register: "We landed in one of those corkscrew landings and ran out because they said there might be sniper fire. I don't remember anyone offering me tea on the tarmac there."</p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/footage-things-donald-trump-claimed-did-not-say-hillary-clinton-2016-6">Donald Trump claims he never said these things - let's look at the footage</a></h3>        <div>            <div>        <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="NueXV3MzE6HwMqHV5e19MwKBJD0MH7d6" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>        </div>        </div>            </div>

Here's the story behind Hillary Clinton's landing under 'sniper fire' in Bosnia

2 German volunteers went to Ukraine to fight the Russians. Confusion, chaos, and then COVID-19, defeated them instead.

That's because the silk fibers that insects and spiders produce in the natural world have the elasticity of a rubber band a level of tensile strength (the amount of pressure a material can stand before it breaks) comparable to steel.</p><p><a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2658765/">These characteristics combined</a> make spider silk two to three times tougher than Kevlar, the material used to make bulletproof vests.</p><p>Scientists have tried to recreate this naturally occurring phenomenon in a lab for 30 years, since material made from these fibers could revolutionize clothing design. Imagine if a synthetic version were woven into our clothing - it's not absurd to think that your <a href="http://fortune.com/2016/05/11/bolt-threads-patagonia/">Patagonia jacket might protect you</a> from a mass shooting, or that your socks would never tear no matter how many times they cycle through the washing machine.</p><p>But the technology that would allow scientists to create synthetic spider silk lagged, and they couldn't recruit spiders to do the job because spiders are cannibals and would eat each other in captivity.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span><a href="https://boltthreads.com/">Bolt Threads</a></span></p><p class="caption">Dan Widmaier, cofounder and CEO of Bolt Threads.</p></div><p></p></div></div>Widmaier entered the race to find a solution while completing his doctoral studies at UC San Francisco, because he "thought it was interesting," he says. He has since teamed up with minds from Nike, Avidas Pharmaceuticals, Google, and universities like UC Berkeley, to deliver the world's first commercially available synthetic spider silk. </p><p>Bolt Threads is on pace to produce its first metric ton of the stuff this year.</p><p>There are no spiders harmed in the making of Bolt Threads' silk. Instead, the company combines genetically modified yeast, water, and sugar and turns it to raw silk through a process of fermentation (the same one that converts sugars to alcohol to make beer). The resulting goop has the texture of molasses.</p><p>A machine then sucks up the goop and pumps it through tiny holes to create the filaments. Remember the Play Doh Crazy Haircut toy set? The machine works like that, churning out fibers instead of a Play Doh dolls' hair. The fibers are then knit or woven into fabrics.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container"><div class="image"></div></div></p><p>The company can also form new varieties of silk by altering the DNA of the genetically modified yeast to tweak the formula. T<span>hey've made 3,000 different silks at small-scale to date.</span></p><p>Considering the infinite uses for such a miracle material, the decision to tackle the apparel industry first might seem surprising. But <span>Widmaier describes the choice as an obvious one from a commercialization perspective.</span></p><p><span>The US is the <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=A8U1lmEGEdgC&amp;pg=PA67&amp;lpg=PA67&amp;dq=apparel+market+silk+billion&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=Vw1r0puM25&amp;sig=mNoZiiYEYUpxEb8-SZZUO0Z275k&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjgxfHEybXOAhVsL8AKHVsNCucQ6AEIOjAE#v=onepage&amp;q=apparel%20market%20silk%20billion&amp;f=false">world's biggest market</a> for silk - silk fabric imports average $2 billion a year. But it's an incredibly flawed material, since it requires special washing and yellows over time. Synthetic spider silk could squash those problems.</span></p><p><span></span>"We also would like to fulfill a promise of innovation in a space that hasn't seen innovation at a regular chip," Widmaier says. Cue the apparel industry.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKJ1gGXamm4">YouTube/Bolt Threads</a></span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>In May, Bolt Threads announced a partnership with outdoor clothing maker, Patagonia, to develop the company's fabric. It's still unclear which products will use synthetic spider silk - <span>they won't hit store shelves until 2018, according to <span>Widmaier</span>.</span></p><p><span>Widameir guesses that the initial consumer goods made from synthetic spider silk will be heavily marketed as such. The material is innovative, it's sexy. </span>Eventually, though, he hopes to see synthetic spider silk become as ubiquitous as nylon.</p><p>"There's something about 'new' that consumers want, which is why they're willing to buy that differentially from something else," <span>Widameir says.</span> "Now, in the long run, if you really want to change the world and build a more sustainable supply chain in consumer products ... eventually, [synthetic spider silk] becomes the expected baseline."</p><p><span><span>Widameir</span> hints that Bolt Threads may launch their own apparel products before Patagonia's come out.

<p>They are the combat medics - or corpsman to the Navy and Marines - and they are often the first to run toward a fallen soldier after he or she is wounded. With their extensive emergency medical training and gear, their first response is vital to treating trauma wounds and getting their patients evacuated to safety and on to further medical care.</p>
<p>But in order for the "Docs" to do their job effectively, they need to carry not only the typical gear everyone else does - helmet, flak jacket, weapon, ammo - but also a wide-ranging assortment of medical equipment that can often weigh anywhere from 50 and 80 pounds.</p>
<p>"I would help carry extra ammunition, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortar_(weapon)" target="_blank">51mm mortar bombs, 66s etc</a>, so it was often upwards of 80 lbs," a medic who had served in the British Army in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, told Business Insider in an email. "The idea was that would all get spent through: water would get drunk, ammunition fired."</p>
<p>The medic, who asked not to be identified, said that while 50 lbs was his typical load, the machine-gunners and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FGM-148_Javelin">Javelin gunners often carried the most.</a> </p>
<p>Before setting foot in Afghanistan he went through rigorous training to include 14 weeks of basic training and nine months in his initial combat medic class. After joining his unit as a Combat Medical Technician Class 2 and going on training exercises for almost a year, he did an additional two months of training to upgrade to CMT1, which allowed him to work on his own.</p>
<p>"Once your brigade's deployment rolls around again, your pre-deployment training ramps up and CMT1's do a course called Battlefield Trauma and Life-Saving (BATLS)," he said. "This course teaches (amongst other things) chest drains, needle decompressions and cricothyroidotomies [an emergency airway puncture]."</p>
<p>In a recent reddit <a href="http://imgur.com/a/n09Dq">post</a>, he uploaded photos of what he carried on his patrols, and explained what everything was for. With his permission, we've included his photos here.</p>

<p><strong>Medics are noncombatants, but they are allowed to protect themselves or their patients, and they carry weapons for this purpose. For the U.K. at least, that includes the SA80A2 rifle with an AG36 underslung grenade launcher. He also carried the Sig Sauer P226 9mm pistol, and plenty of ammo and grenades.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Also shown here is his PVS-14 night vision, gloves, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Military-IFAK-Individual-First-Aid/dp/B00ABAELZE">individual first aid kit</a>, and two combat application tourniquets, used to stop bleeding from catastrophic wounds.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Just like every soldier, he wore his helmet and flak jacket with bulletproof plates when out on patrol. For easy access, he put his medical shears on his chest and later mounted his pistol there.</strong></p>

<p><strong>"Everything was pretty well organized," he explained. "You can see in one of the pics I've attached how big my pack was.

Here's The Crazy Amount Of Gear Military Medics Carry Every Day In Afghanistan

<p><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;"><span class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><span><span data-post-image="" class="image on-image"></span><p></p></span></span>CORCY, </span>France<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;"> (Reuters) - Armed and masked anti-terrorism police swooped on woodland villages northeast of&#xa0;</span>Paris<span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.5em;"> on Thursday in a manhunt for two brothers suspected of being the Islamist gunmen who killed 12 people at a French satirical weekly.</span></p>
<p>A day after the Paris attack, officers carried out house-to-house searches in the village of Corcy, a few km (miles) from a service station where police sources said the brothers were sighted in ski masks. Helicopters flew overhead.</p>
<p>The fugitive suspects are French-born sons of Algerian-born parents, both in their early 30s, and already under police surveillance. One was jailed for 18 months for trying to travel to Iraq a decade ago to fight as part of an Islamist cell. Police said they were "armed and dangerous".</p>
<p>United States and European sources close to the investigation said on Thursday that one of the brothers, Said Kouachi, was in Yemen in 2011 for a number of months training with Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), one of the group's most active affiliates.</p>
<p>A Yemeni official familiar with the matter said the Yemen government was aware of the possibility of a connection between Said Kouachi and AQAP, and was looking into any possible links.</p>
<p>U.S. government sources said Said Kouachi and his brother Cherif Kouachi were listed in two U.S. security databases, a highly classified database containing information on 1.2 million possible counter-terrorism suspects, called TIDE, and the much smaller "no fly" list maintained by the Terrorist Screening Center, an interagency unit.</p>
<p>U.S. television network ABC reported that the brothers had been listed in the databases for "years."</p>
<p>Dave Joly, a spokesman for the Terrorist Screening Center, said he could neither confirm nor deny if the Kouachis were listed in counter-terrorism databases.</p>
<p>&#xa0;<span class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><span><span data-post-image="" class="image on-image"></span><p></p></span></span></p>
<p>On Thursday, U.S. President Barack Obama made an unannounced visit to the French Embassy in Washington to pay his respects.</p>
<p>He wrote in a condolence book, "As allies across the centuries, we stand united with our French brothers to ensure that justice is done and our way of life is defended. We go forward together knowing that terror is no match for freedom and ideals we stand for - ideals that light the world."</p>
<p>In Paris, a policewoman was killed in a shootout with a gunman wearing a bulletproof vest on Thursday morning, setting a tense nation further on edge. Police sources were unable to say whether that incident was linked to the previous day's assault at the Charlie Hebdo weekly newspaper, but the authorities opened another terrorism investigation.</p>
<p>Bewildered and tearful French people held a national day of mourning. The bells of Notre Dame pealed for those killed in the attack on Charlie Hebdo, a left-leaning slayer of sacred cows whose cartoonists have been national figures since the Parisian counter-cultural heyday of the 1960s and 1970s.</p>
<p>The newspaper had been firebombed in the past for printing cartoons that poked fun at militant Islam and some that mocked the Prophet Muhammad himself. Two of those killed were police posted to protect the paper.</p>
<p>While world leaders described the attack as an assault on democracy, al Qaeda's North Africa branch praised the gunmen as "knight(s) of truth".</p>
<p>Many European newspapers either re-published Charlie Hebdo cartoons or lampooned the killers with images of their own.</p>
<p><span class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><span><span data-post-image="" class="image on-image"></span><p></p></span></span></p>
<p>Searches were taking place in Corcy and the nearby village of Longpont, set in thick forest and boggy marshland about 70 km north of Paris, but it was not clear whether the fugitives who had been spotted in the area were holed up or had moved on.</p>
<p>"We have not found them, there is no siege," an interior ministry official in Paris said.</p>
<p>Corcy residents looked bewildered as heavily armed policeman in ski masks and helmets combed the village meticulously from houses to garages and barns.</p>
<p>"We're hearing that the men could be in the forest, but there's no information so we're watching television to see," said Corcy villager Jacques.</p>
<p>In neighbouring Longpont, a resident said police had told villagers to stay indoors because the gunmen may have abandoned their car there. Anti-terrorism officers pulled back as darkness fell. The silence ?was broken by the sound of a forest owl.</p>
<p>Thursday's shooting of the policewoman on the streets of Paris's southern Montrouge district -- whether related or not -- caused more fear. Montrouge Mayor Jean-Loup Metton said the policewoman and a colleague came under fire while responding to a reported traffic accident. Witnesses said the assailant fled in a Renault Clio. Police sources said he wore a bullet-proof vest and had a an assault rifle and a handgun.</p>
<p>A police officer at the scene told Reuters he did not appear to resemble the Charlie Hebdo shooter suspects.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Manuel Valls, asked on RTL radio whether he feared a further attack, said: "That's obviously our main concern and that is why thousands of police and investigators have been mobilised to catch these individuals."</p>
<p><span class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><span><span data-post-image="" class="image on-image"></span><p></p></span></span></p>
<h3>SUSPECT JAILED</h3>
<p>Police released photographs of the two suspects, Cherif and Said Kouachi, 32 and 34. The brothers were born in eastern Paris and grew up in an orphanage in the western city of Rennes after their parents died.</p>
<p>The younger brother's jail sentence for trying to fight in Iraq a decade ago, and more recent tangles with the authorities over suspected involvement in militant plots, raised questions over whether police could have done more to watch them.</p>
<p>Cherif Kouachi was arrested on Jan. 25, 2005 preparing to fly to Syria en route to Iraq. He served 18 months of a three-year sentence.</p>
<p>"He was part of a group of young people who were a little lost, confused, not really fanatics in the proper sense of the word," lawyer Vincent Ollivier, who represented Cherif in the case, told Liberation daily.</p>
<p>In 2010 he was suspected of being part of a group that tried to break from prison Smain Ali Belkacem, a militant jailed for the 1995 bombings of Paris train and metro stations that killed eight people and wounded 120. The case against Cherif Kouachi was dismissed for lack of evidence.</p>
<p>A third person wanted by police, an 18-year-old man, turned himself into police in Charleville-Mézières near the Belgian border late on Wednesday. A legal source said he was the brother-in-law of one of the brothers. French media quoted friends as saying he was in school at the time of the attack.</p>
<p>In the wake of the killings, authorities tightened security at transport hubs, religious sites, media offices and stores. Police also increased their presence at entry points to Paris.</p>
<p>At Porte d'Orleans, one of the capital's main gateways, more than a dozen white police vans lined up the main avenue. Officers stood guard with bulletproof jackets and rifles.</p>
<p>The <keyword id="6354810" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="Defense">defense</keyword> ministry said it sent 200 extra soldiers from parachute regiments across the country to help guardParis.</p>
<p>Tens of thousands of people attended vigils across France on Wednesday, many wearing badges declaring "Je suis Charlie" in support of the newspaper and the principle of freedom of speech.</p>
<p>Newspapers in many countries republished Charlie Hebdo cartoons. Britain's Daily Telegraph depicted two masked gunmen outside the doors of Charlie Hebdo saying to each other: "Be careful, they might have pens."</p>
<p>Charlie Hebdo's lawyer Richard Malka said the newspaper would be published next Wednesday with one million copies compared to its usual print run of 60,000.</p>
<p>Muslim leaders condemned the shooting, but some have expressed fears of a rise in anti-Islamic feeling in a country with a large Muslim population. The window of a kebab shop next to a mosque in the town of Villefrance-sur-Saone was blown out by an overnight explosion. Local media said no one was hurt.</p>
