These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-08-06,
and should be interpreted accordingly. If any answers have changed
due to newer news, you are still expected to give the answers that
were correct on that date.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of Unnatural Axxxe and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. The posting and tabulation of
current-events questions is independent of the concurrent posting of
other rounds. For further information see my 2019-01-22 companion
posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
This set will complete the Current Events game for the season.

leader of Al-Qaeda was killed recently. First and last names

8. Hal Prince, legendary Broadway director-producer who won a
record 21 Tony awards over his long career, died last week at
the ripe old age of 91 -- in what city?

Warsaw Uprising.
See: http://www.dw.com/en/what-was-the-warsaw-uprising/a-39889947
When this question went to the audience at the original game, my
suggestion referred to the Allied armies that had been surrounded in
Normandy since the "D-Day" landings -- I thought the relevant event
might be Patton leading the "breakout" through the German lines.
This actually turns out to also be correct, depending on what you
count as the start.
