"On Nov. 21, 1985, U.S. Navy intelligence analyst Jonathan Jay Pollard was arrested and accused of spying for Israel. (Pollard later pleaded guilty to espionage and was sentenced to life in prison, but was released in 2015.) Also on this date: In 1920, on Bloody Sunday, the Irish Republican Army killed 14 suspected British intelligence officers in the Dublin area; British forces responded by raiding a soccer match, killing 14 civilians."
"In 2017, Zimbabwe's 93-year-old president, Robert Mugabe, resigned; he was facing impeachment proceedings and had been placed under house arrest by the military. His resignation ended a 37-year rule beginning with Zimbabwe's independence in 1980. In 2021, an SUV sped through barricades and into marchers in a Christmas parade in the Milwaukee suburb of Waukesha, killing six people and injuring several others. A judge the following year sentenced Darrell Brooks Jr. to life in prison without parole for his conviction on first-degree intentional homicide and other counts."
Multiple notable events occurred on November 21 across decades. A U.S. Navy analyst was arrested in 1985 for spying for Israel and later imprisoned. In 1920, Bloody Sunday saw the Irish Republican Army kill suspected British intelligence officers and British forces retaliate, killing civilians at a soccer match. Major infrastructure opened in 1964 with the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. Tragedies include the 1980 MGM Grand fire and the 2021 Waukesha parade vehicle attack. High-profile legal cases include the sentencing of Michael Milken in 1990 and later political changes such as Robert Mugabe's 2017 resignation.
