4 charged in $5.7 million RI cigarette ring

by Laura Crimaldi

Four Syrian men are facing charges they participated in a cigarette smuggling ring in Rhode Island that relied on cigarettes from southern states with lower cigarette taxes to swindle the Ocean State out of an estimated $5.7 million in tax revenue.

Facing state charges are Wassim Khiami, 47, of Warwick, Wad Alkhiamy, 59, of Johnston, and Tarek Shikh Alard, 41, of Cranston, O'Donnell said. Khiami owns two convenience stores in Cranston and Providence. Alard owns a convenience store in Providence, and Alkhiamy owns a store in Johnston, state police said. Sullivan said their businesses remain open. An affidavit prepared by U.S. Department of Homeland Security Agent Joseph A. Sullivan shows Mohamad traveled to North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia to get cigarettes to sell in Rhode Island, where the tax is $3.46 per pack. The tax is 57 cents per pack in S.C., 45 cents per pack in N.C. and 30 cents per pack in Va., Sullivan wrote.

4 years after Von Maur shootings, reflections on foster care system

by Joanne Young

Four years ago Monday, a former state ward walked into Von Maur in Omaha and killed six customers, two employees and himself.

The Foster Care Review Board said Monday the state must stabilize its child welfare system, which served 8,258 children in 2010. Board members and Executive Director Carol Stitt presented the agency's annual report, the last one that will be received by the committee before its own report and recommendations come out Dec. 15. One of the most critical concerns about child welfare reform, known as Families Matter, is worker caseload and long hours, and the amount of worker turnover, said board member Mario Scalora.

by Alan Feuer

The judge ruled that the young girl, accused of running down an elderly woman, can be sued for negligence.

The ruling by the judge, Justice Paul Wooten of State Supreme Court in Manhattan, did not find that the girl was liable, but merely permitted a lawsuit brought against her, another boy and their parents to move forward. The suit that Justice Wooten allowed to proceed claims that in April 2009, Juliet Breitman, 4, and Jacob Kohn, 5, were racing their bicycles, under the supervision of their mothers, Dana Breitman and Rachel Kohn, on the sidewalk of a building on East 52nd Street.
