Britain
UK police officer charged with showing support for Hamas
[GEO.TV] A British police officer has been charged with a terrorism offence for allegedly publishing an image in support of Hamas
...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
, a group banned in Britannia as a terrorist organization, police said on Wednesday.

Mohammed Adil, 26, from Bradford in northern England, was arrested last November and charged following an investigation by British counter-terrorism officers, Counter Terrorism Policing North East said in a statement.

Reports say 4 teens planned to buy guns, attack Jews in Sydney after Church stabbing
[IsraelTimes] Four teenagers plotted to buy guns and attack Jewish people days after a bishop was stabbed in a Sydney church, news reports say, citing police documents.

Five teens, aged 14 to 17, were charged in a Sydney court on Thursday last week with a range of offenses including conspiring to engage in or planning a terrorist act.

Police alleged they all "adhered to a religiously motivated, violent mostly peaceful turban ideology" and were part of a network that included a 16-year-old boy charged with stabbing Assyrian Orthodox Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel on April 15 as a church service was being streamed online.
The church is Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley in Sydney's west. The unnamed stabby lad shouted something in Arabic before being thoroughly thrashed by angry parishoners, which is presumably why the authorities called it as a terrorist attack.

Fifth Column
Frat boys who saved Old Glory from advancing pro-Palestine mob are lauded as 'true patriots' and 'heroes' - as campuses across America descend into warzones between demonstrators and cops
Patriotic frat boys valiantly protected an American flag on the campus of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill even while being pelted by water bottles from pro-Palestine protestors.

Footage emerged on social media showing the group of male students from the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity holding onto the stars and stripes during a Tuesday protest. Pro-Palestine groups lobbed bottles of water at the group who clutched the flag as they were screamed at by masked protestors.

One person was seen carrying an Israel flag as others threw objects and water at him as the group held the flag high so as not let it touch the ground.

Despite the best efforts of the hardy group, the protestors eventually managed to hoist the Palestine flag on the Chapel Hill campus.

Still, the men's action drew attention online with a GoFundMe set up for the frat that has raised more than $228,000.

'We are overwhelmed by you glorious, Patriotic Americans who value good beer and great times,' the fraternity wrote on the GoFundMe.

'We are in contact with multiple leaders from fraternities whose members helped defend the flag, including Alpha Epsilon Pi and others, in addition to Pi Kappa Psi. Our gratitude goes to all of them and we will update supporters on what comes next,'

After American flag was replaced by Palestine's flag, UNC Interim Chancellor Lee Roberts responded by personally walking out into the midst of the protest and removing the Palestine flag, ABC11 reported.

Roberts stood guard as he restored the American flag back onto the flagpole and applauded as workers did so. Footage taken shows Roberts clapping his hands as some students can be heard chanting 'USA!,USA! USA!'

Not long after the flag was restored, a decision was made to have it taken down where it was folded into its traditional triangle shape and taken away.

The flag pole was then left empty, prompting protestors who had gathered to disperse.

Following the chaos, classes were canceled for the rest of the day and non-mandatory operations were suspended.

Police had moved in to clear out an encampment and detained some of the protestors in a tense showdown.

The Daily Tar Heel reported that 36 people protestors were detained within the encampment.

Six of those 36 were later arrested and transported to the local magistrate's office, the outlet said, with all six charged trespassing before being released. The university said three of those arrested had been students, while the other three were not affiliated with the school.

In a statement Roberts said: 'For the last several months, we have spoken regularly and respectfully with the demonstrators on our campus, consistently supporting their right to assemble and express their views.

'We have been clear that students and community members can assemble and make their voices heard, but University policies must be followed.

'During events in recent weeks, the student demonstrators abided by our policies.

'That changed Sunday evening when protesters - including outside activists -- backtracked on their commitment to comply with these policies, including trespassing into classroom buildings overnight.

Wife of convicted terrorist Sami Al-Arian was hanging out at Columbia encampment before dramatic raid
[NYPOST] The wife of an ex-college professor convicted of terrorism-related charges was spotted hanging out at Columbia University’s encampment prior to the dramatic NYPD raid where cops busted 109 people Tuesday night.

Mayor Eric Adams
...Hizonner da Mare of Noo Yawk. As a Manchurian candidate, Hizonner was all in favor of law and order and that kind of stuff. Once in office, a few of his friends found cushy jobs with the city, the windows kept getting broken, and Soros-funded DA Alvin Bragg remained right where he was. Most people comfort themselves with the thought that he's not Bill di Blasio but that's pretty small comfort with kids who actually go to school getting bumped off while standing in front of them. But he's a Dem, so the rubes will vote for him next election too, so he's what they deserve...
on Wednesday blamed "outside agitators" for the campus chaos, saying cops had identified individuals who weren’t Columbia students among the protesters.

The Grand Turk
Turkey detains nearly 3,000 for ISIS links in 10 months
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Ottoman Turkish Interior Minister announced that security forces in the country have detained 2,991 individuals over the past 10 months on charges of collaborating with ISIS.

Ali Yarlika stated that these individuals were detained in 1,422 operations conducted across the country.

These detentions occurred from January 1st of the current year to April 22nd.

Mr. Yarlika published these figures on his social media account, stating, "We will tolerate no Death Eaters and will continue our fight with determination in cooperation with security forces."

The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
has recently conducted extensive operations across the country, resulting in the detention of dozens of individuals on charges of ISIS membership.

Earlier this month, the Ottoman Turkish Interior Minister announced that the country had initiated extensive operations against ISIS, which will be carried out and continued in various cities.

Meanwhile,
...back at the shouting match, Bart was wondering if fisticuffs would be appropriate at this point...
ISIS has intensified its operations across the region, targeting civilians and government officials in countries like Afghanistan, Iran, and Russia. This escalation of activity has led to increased insecurity and instability in the region.
Courtesy of badanov, Regnum adds:
Regnum. In Turkey, law enforcement officers detained 41 suspects of involvement in the Islamic State group. The country's Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya announced this on May 1.

Law enforcement officers conducted an anti-terrorist operation in 12 provinces - Bolu, Eskisehir, Istanbul, Kirikkale, Kilis, Kocaeli, Nevsehir, Sakarya, Gaziantep, Sanliurfa, Duzca and Manisa, Sabah newspaper reported. The most people suspected of having links with terrorists were detained in the province of Istanbul - ten people.

Police officers seized firearms, various digital materials, as well as foreign currency and Turkish lira from the detainees.

As Regnum reported, on April 1, Turkish law enforcement agencies detained two suspects in preparing a terrorist attack in Istanbul, which was planned to be carried out by the Islamic State group. This is 37-year-old citizen of Tajikistan Faziljon A. and 41-year-old Kyrgyz citizen Zulfiya S. The detainees appeared before the court, which ordered the arrest of the man. His accomplice was deported from Turkey.

Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said on March 31 that in four days in 21 Turkish provinces, security authorities detained a total of 51 suspects of involvement in the Islamic State group.

He clarified that Istanbul and Antalya were among the regions where these special operations were carried out. According to the minister, during the searches, a large number of documents from the terrorist group were confiscated from the detainees.

Turkish police detain over 200 May Day protesters in Istanbul
[NEWARAB] Ottoman Turkish police detained 210 people on Wednesday, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said, after using tear gas and rubber bullets to stop the protesters reaching Taksim Square, the traditional focal point of May Day rallies in Istanbul.

President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Xanadu Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Pleasure Dome Palace decree. It has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
said on the eve of May Day that the annual protests would not be allowed to take place on Taksim Square, which was cordoned off by police.

India-Pakistan
Police foil terror attack on check post in Dera Ghazi Khan
[GEO.TV] Police Wednesday foiled a terrorist attack on the Jhangi check post in Dera Ghazi Khan late at night, injuring at least seven police personnel in the terror incident, police told Geo News.

According to the Regional Police Officer Sajjad Hassan Khan, the Jhangi check post is located on the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa-Punjab border in the Taunsa area.

He added that the attackers wanted to capture the check post, but they fled in the darkness of the night after the attack was repulsed by coppers.

According to Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

Police, 15 to 20 bandidos forces of Evil were involved in the attack.

'SECOND ATTACK ON CHECK POST AFTER 2 MONTHS'
This was a second attack on the check post in the span of two months, said Punjab Police.

In a statement issued on X, formerly Twitter, the Punjab Police wrote: "The bandidos forces of Evil of the banned
...the word banned seems to have a different meaning in Pakistain than it does in most other places. Or maybe it simply lacks any meaning at all...
organization
failed to attack the Jhangi (Hazrat Umar Farooq) police check post again after two months."

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, 15 to 20 bandidos forces of Evil attacked with modern weapons including rocket launchers, hand grenades, laser light guns which Sub-Inspector Mohiuddin — the check post in-charge — and his personnel repulsed, the post read.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
IDF says 30 aid trucks from Jordan crossed through reopened Erez crossing to Gaza
[IsraelTimes] The Israeli military says some 30 trucks carrying food and medical supplies from Jordan entered the northern 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 Hamaswith 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...
Strip via the newly reopened Erez crossing today.

The trucks underwent a "careful security inspection" before entering Gaza, the IDF says. The IDF says the reopening of the crossing for humanitarian aid deliveries is "in accordance with the directives of the political echelon."
