-Lurid Crime Tales-
Illegal migrants lured Jocelyn Nungaray, 12, under bridge, assaulted her for 2 hours before killing her
[NYPOST] The illegal Venezuelan
<
...a country in Central America that sits on an enormous pool of oil. Formerly the most prospereous country in the region, it became infested with Commies sniffing almost unlimited wealth. It turned out the wealth wasn't unlimited, the economy collapsed under the clownish Hugo Chavez, the murder rate exceeded places like Honduras and El Salvador. A significant proportion of the populace refugeed to Colombia and points south...

n migrants colonists accused of murdering Jocelyn Nungaray in Houston lured the 12-year-old girl under a bridge, where they stripped her naked to the waist and assaulted her for two hours, disturbing new court documents allege.

Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, and Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, allegedly bound Jocelyn’s hands behind her back during the brutal assault, then strangled her and dumped her body in a bayou, a Harris County court heard Monday.

Her feet were also bound and her back was covered in cuts, the court heard, according to KPRC.

Pena Ramos also allegedly asked his employer at a construction site for money so he could skip town after the murder, prosecutors said, according to Fox 26 Houston.

Both men are charged with capital murder for Jocelyn’s death. Though the current charges do not carry the possibility of the death penalty
, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said prosecutors have not ruled out pursuing it.

Ramos appeared during the Monday hearing, where the judge ruled him a flight risk and set his bond at $10 million — double what prosecutors requested, and ten times the sum sought by the defense.

"Our immigration system is broken and if there was ever a case that reflected that, it’s this one," DA Ogg said during a presser following the hearing.

Pena Ramos crossed the southern border illegally at El Paso, Texas, on May 28, The Post first reported last week, telling agents he was going to live with his cousin in Houston.

He was fitted with an ankle monitor that was set to track his location for 21 days — which he cut off two days after Jocelyn’s body was found.

Rangel Martinez entered the country at El Paso on March 14 and was also given an ankle monitor, but had it removed in May after it was determined he had no known criminal history.

Both suspects were seen on surveillance footage entering a 7/11 with Jocelyn on the night of her murder, and then walk down to the bridge where her body was later found half naked and strangled to death.

Jocelyn’s family said she sneaked out of her home the night of her disappearance and at some point met up with the suspects.

Her mother, Alexis Nungaray, spoke alongside DA Ogg Monday, saying her daughter had amazing opportunities in her future that her killers ripped from her.

"She was amazing, I still see her face in the back of my head everyday, all day. I keep getting little signs about her throughout the days and it’s been a very, very hard time for me and my family," Nungaray said.

"She had such a bright future ahead of her and I knew she was gonna go very far and these monsters took that opportunity from her, from our family."

#1  Warmongers at the US State Department want to send a trillion dollars to foreign wars like Ukraine

But don't want to spend a cent securing the southern border.

How about: no war with Russia, not a dollar more for Ukraine, and station troops along the southern border, closing it.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Death toll from terrorist attacks in Dagestan has risen to 20
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[Regnum] The death toll as a result of terrorist attacks in Dagestan has risen to 20 people. Another seven wounded are in serious condition, said the Minister of Health of the Republic Tatyana Belyaeva.

According to her, the number of victims as a result of attacks in Derbent and Makhachkala increased to 46 people. These include both civilians and law enforcement officers.

“Unfortunately, 20 people died, among them there are also law enforcement officers and civilians,” Belyaeva noted.

According to the head of the Ministry of Health, seven wounded are in serious condition. The department organized telemedicine consultations with federal centers on the injury profile of all patients undergoing inpatient treatment.

After a second telemedicine consultation, a decision will be made to evacuate the wounded outside the republic, the Minister of Health added. She clarified that some patients will be transferred to departmental institutions to continue treatment.

As Regnum reported, on June 23, armed militants attacked two Orthodox churches, a synagogue and a traffic police post in Makhachkala and Derbent. Law enforcement officers eliminated the attackers. As a result, over 15 law enforcement officers and several civilians were killed. In addition, the terrorists brutally killed Archpriest Nikolai Kotelnikov. 19 people locked themselves inside the church, trying to escape. After the incident, June 24, 25 and 26 were declared days of mourning in Dagestan.

Law enforcement officers are investigating a criminal case of attacks in Dagestan under paragraph “b” of Part 3 of Art. 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Terrorist act”), Part 4 of Art. 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Illegal acquisition, storage, transportation of firearms”), paragraphs. “a”, “b” part 4 art. 226 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Theft of firearms”). During the arrest, security forces eliminated five persons involved in the crime, the identities of each have already been established. Taking into account the high public response, the Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin, instructed to transfer the case of the terrorist attacks in Dagestan to the central office of the department.

India-Pakistan
Man killed by stray bullet in Karachi hospital parking area
[GEO.TV] A man lost his life after being struck by a stray bullet in the parking lot of Abbasi Shaheed Hospital in Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
, Geo News reported on Tuesday.

Police have identified the dear departed as 32-year-old Afzal.

Afzal had visited the hospital to see his cousin's ailing son, who was admitted to the hospital.

According to police, Afzal was sitting with friends outside the children's emergency ward when the mishap occurred.

Eyewitness Sajjad, who was present in the hospital's parking lot at the time, recounted the events leading up to the tragedy. "There were sounds of intense gun sex just minutes before Afzal was hit," Sajjad said, adding that the noise seemed to be coming from a nearby area.

"The sounds of gunfire were still ringing when the dear departed was being taken away on a cycle of violence to the hospital's emergency ward," Sajjad noted.

Israeli military chief: Hamas' Rafah brigade nearly dismantled
[GEO.TV] The chief of staff of Israel's military said on Monday that Hamas' brigade in the southern Gaza city of Rafah is nearly dismantled.

"We are clearly approaching the point where we can say we have dismantled the Rafah Brigade, that it is defeated not in the sense that there are no more terrorists, but in the sense that it can no longer function as a fighting unit," said Chief of the General Staff Herzi Halevi.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Netanyahu warns Lebanon war could be next
[An Nahar] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that the current phase of fighting against Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
is winding down, setting the stage for Israel to send more troops to its northern border to confront the Lebanese Hezbollah.

The comments Sunday threatened to further heighten the tensions between Israel and Hezbollah at a time when they appear to be moving closer to war. Netanyahu also signaled that there is no end in sight for the grinding war in Gaza.

The Israeli leader said in a lengthy TV interview that while the army is close to completing its current ground offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, that would not mean the war against Hamas is over. But he said fewer troops would be needed in Gaza, freeing up forces to battle Hezbollah.

"We will have the possibility of transferring some of our forces north, and we will do that," he told Israel's Channel 14, a pro-Netanyahu TV channel, in an interview that was frequently interrupted by applause from the studio audience. "First and foremost, for defense," he added, but also to allow tens of thousands of displaced Israelis to return home.

The Iranian-backed Hezbollah began striking Israel almost immediately after Hamas' Oct. 7 cross-border attack that triggered the Gaza war. Israel and Hezbollah have been exchanging fire nearly every day since then, but the fighting has escalated in recent weeks, raising fears of a full-blown war.

Hezbollah is much stronger than Hamas, and opening a new front would raise the risk of a larger, region-wide war involving other Iranian proxies and perhaps Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
itself that could cause heavy damage and mass casualties on both sides of the border.

White House envoy Amos Hochstein was in the region last week meeting with officials in Israel and Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
in an effort to lower tensions. But the fighting has continued.

Netanyahu said he hoped a diplomatic solution to the crisis could be found but vowed to solve the problem "in a different way" if needed. "We can fight on several fronts and we are prepared to do that," he said.

He said any deal would not just be "an agreement on paper." He said it would require Hezbollah to be far from the border, an enforcement mechanism and the return of Israelis back to their homes. Tens of thousands of people were evacuated shortly after the fighting erupted and have not been able to go home.

Hezbollah has said it will continue battling Israel until a cease-fire is reached in Gaza. The group's leader, MSayyed
...Arabic term meaning your/his lordship. Groveling in His Exalted Presence is encouraged...
His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
...The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...>
, warned Israel last week against launching a war, saying Hezbollah has new weapons and intelligence capabilities that could help it target more critical positions deeper inside Israel.

Hezbollah already has unveiled new weapons during the low-level fighting, including hard-to-defend attack drones that strike with little warning. An Israeli soldier was badly maimed Sunday in a dronezap.

But Israel says it too has shown Hezbollah only a small part of its full capabilities, and that Lebanon will be turned into a second Gaza if there is a war. Israel's army last week said it had "approved and validated" a new plan for a Lebanon offensive.

Transport minister Hamieh denies Hezbollah weapons at Beirut airport
[An Nahar] Caretaker transport minister Ali Hamieh has denied that Hezbollah was storing weapons at Beirut airport, as fears grow of all-out war between the bully boy group and Israel.
"No, no! Certainly not!"
Hamieh called a presser on Sunday to deny the allegations of "absurd articles" in the media, and attacked the British daily The Telegraph.
Whoever heard of such a thing?"
The newspaper said the Shiite bully boy group is storing missiles and rockets at the airport, where "whistleblowers" had reported the arrival of "unusually big boxes".

Backed by Iran, Hezbollah has been exchanging near-daily fire with Israeli forces in support of its ally, Hamas

attacked southern Israel.

"I am holding this presser to clarify that everything that has been written in The Telegraph is false and to say that there are no weapons entering or leaving Beirut airport," Hamieh told journalists.

He spoke from Beirut International Airport, located in an area south of the capital where Hezbollah is influential.

Hamieh invited ambassadors and journalists to inspect the airport on Monday morning in a visit "open to all"

The Lebanese air transport union condemned in a statement "simply erroneous statements and lies aimed at endangering Beirut airport and its employees, all civilians, and those who frequent it."

Israel has for years accused Hezbollah of keeping precision rockets and missiles in different installations throughout Leb

, including on a site near Beirut airport.

Hezbollah denies this.

More than eight months of exchanges of fire between Hezbollah and Israeli forces have left 480 people dead in Lebanon, mostly fighters, but also 93 civilians, according to an AFP tally.

Israeli authorities say at least 15 soldiers and 11 civilians have been killed in the country's north.

Cross-border exchanges and tension have escalated over the past two weeks after an Israeli air strike killed a senior Hezbollah commander.

Tensions in Ain el-Helweh as security forces member assassinated
[An Nahar]

Tensions engulfed the Paleostinian refugee camp of Ain el-Helweh in Sidon on Monday after a member of the Paleostinian National Security Force was rubbed out.

Annahar newspaper identified the slain member as Yassine Akl, saying he was killed in "the Ras al-Ahmar area that is controlled by Islamist bully boys."

The camp had witnessed violent mostly peaceful festivities around 10 months ago between the Paleostinian National Security Force and members of hardline Islamist groups.
