Sierra Leone's civil war lasted from 1991 until 2002. It was marked by exceptional levels of cruelty and suffering. During this civil war the United Nations, neighboring West African states, and the United Kingdom launched military interventions into Sierra Leone. The United Kingdom's intervention was called Operation Palliser. In September 2000 eleven British soldiers participating in Operation Palliser were captured by a militia gang known as the West Side Boys. When it became clear negotiating with the West Side Boys was proving futile, the British decided to take military action to free their soldiers. William Fowler's “Operation Barras” tells the story of what happened.

The origins of the unlucky day Friday the 13th can't exactly be pinpointed. However, some believe it may be traced to Jesus being crucified on a Friday, after having the Last Supper with 13 disciples (Judas being the 13th). Attempts to debunk the notion that the number 13 itself is unlucky can be dated all the way back to the 1800s when Civil War vet William Fowler founded the Thirteen Club. But Friday the 13th has continued to gain infamy and the reiteration of this defamed day lives on. Find out what's in store for you on this Friday the 13th with psychic Vincent Genna.
