In Brooklyn, two Egyptian men, both named Mohammed, tried to put out a contract on six members of their respective families, according to police. Mohammed Khatib wanted his wife killed, because she's "a fat Jew" and he doesn't like his kids wearing yarmulkes, he told the undercover cop he thought was a hitman. But he also wanted his wife's 18-year-old son killed because "he's just a bum," plus his wife's sister because she's "nosy," plus his sister-in-law's son because he's a Hebrew teacher who taught Khatib's children to speak Hebrew. Fortunately Khatib's friend, Mohammed Kadri, had a kinder nature. He only wanted two relatives killed, at the going rate of $10,000 each. We're guessing that anger-management classes aren't going to do it for these guys.
