[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Protesters planning to disrupt the Coronation could be shot by police if they run out towards a carriage just in case they are carrying a bomb, an ex-royal protection officer warned.
A record 11,500 police officers - a large number of them armed - will guard London this weekend in what is set to be the biggest security operation in British history.
While HMS Diamond, a Type 45 destroyer capable of tracking drones from 250 miles away, will also stand guard on the Thames over the King's Coronation weekend.
[GreaterKashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor.

He said that intelligence agencies were regularly receiving inputs about possible infiltration. "It was learnt that infiltrators will be pushed from across the border. After inputs by the police high alert was sounded on May 01," he said.
He said that following inputs additional ambushes were deployed at possible target places and special operation group of J&K police was also involved in this operation.
The Brigadier also said that the operation was conducted under challenging conditions as troops braved cold weather conditions and low visibility.
"Braving continuous snow, rain, overflow of water channels and challenging atmosphere, the operation was conducted successfully. Brave troops remained under open sky for more than 48 hours waiting for the infiltrators," he said.
The Brigadier said that on May 03 an ambush spotted and killed two infiltrators. "They were fired at and two of them were killed. Entire area was searched and war like store along with eatables with Pakistain marking were recovered."
He added that regularly efforts are being made from the other side of the border to disturb peace here. "All such efforts have been foiled. We are fully alert and every infiltration will be foiled," he said while praising the troops deployed at forward areas.

[OneIndia] Several states are on a state of high-alert as the movie, 'The Kerala Story is slated for a release on May 5, Friday.
The story is largely based on the case that is being probed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in which 24 persons from Kerala had joined the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... and joined the outfit in Afghanistan.
Ahmad Zia Saraj, the head of the National Directorate of Security ...the Afghan national intel agency... told news hounds that there are 408 members of the Islamic State who are lodged in the prisons of Afghanistan. This included four Indians, 16 Chinese, 299 Paks, two Bangladeshis and two from the Maldives.
While Afghanistan would soon begin talks with these respective countries to deport the Islamic State operatives, India is no mood to bring back the four operatives. The four women had travelled to Afghanistan's Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. between 2016-18. Their husbands were killed in different attacks, following which the four women surrendered before the authorities.
A source tells OneIndia that the Indian authorities are not in favour of these women returning to India. These women had been interviewed by the Indian security agencies in Afghanistan in 2019, a month after they surrendered. The women have been identified as Sonia Sebastin alias Ayisha Raffeala, Merrin Jacob alias Mariyam and Nimisha alias Fathima Isa.
According to the NIA's chargesheet filed in 2017, Sonia had left from Kasargod in 2016, with her husband Abdul Rashid. The agency also said that Merrin had left with her husband, Westin Vincent to Islamic State controlled territory in 2016.
Some of the parents of these girls have been making pleas to the Indian authorities to bring back their daughters. India's policy on internal security however does not allow this. India has taken a cue from the attacks in La Belle France which were undertaken by the returnees of the Islamic State.
An official specialising on the affairs of the Islamic State says that if one looks at the pattern of the terror group, it tends to use returnees to stage attacks. It would take some more time for India to analyse the situation in Afghanistan. The Islamic State follows the pattern of training people on its soil and then sending back the recruits to their motherland. These persons could either end up becoming heroes or could even stage lone wolf strikes, the official explained. This is one of the primary reasons why India is cautious when it comes to taking back the returnees on its soil, the officer also said.
[GEO.TV] Bushra Bibi, the wife of former prime minister Imran Khan ...aka The Great Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality disorders... , on Thursday served a legal notice on Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz (PML-N) Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz for defamation over corruption allegations.
The former first lady sent a legal notice through her counsel, Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf ...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... (PTI) leader Advocate Faisal Farid.
In the notice, an unconditional apology has been sought from Maryam for allegedly defaming Bushra Bibi within seven days.
The notice stated that the ruling party leader made false and baseless allegations against the ex-premier’s wife in Lahore on May 1.
The legal notice warned that a criminal case would be initiated against the PML-N stalwart if she did not retract her allegations against the former first lady.
The text of the speech, wherein Maryam allegedly hurled allegations, has also been made part of the legal notice.
The notice said Maryam is running a "malicious campaign" to defame Bushra Bibi and her family.
The development comes two days after PTI big shot Fawad Chaudhry announced that Bushra Bibi had decided to lodge a criminal case against the PML-N leader over bribery allegations.
The PTI's senior vice president, in a presser in Islamabad, had said the ruling party leader alleged that Bushra Bibi was taking bribes for getting official documents signed by the authorities during the previous PTI-led government.
"She has never participated in any political activities [...] she was only seen visiting panahgahs [shelter homes]," the PTI leader remarked.
Despite the fact that the former first lady is an apolitical person, Fawad said, Maryam continued to hurl allegations against her.
"Therefore, Bushra Bibi has decided to send a legal notice to Maryam Nawaz for making baseless allegations," he said, adding that the notice will be followed by the filing of a criminal case against the PML-N leader.
Maryam, who is also the senior vice president of the PML-N, has time and again accused the former first lady of receiving bribes — including a diamond set in return for using her influence in official decision-making during the tenure of the Imran Khan-led government.
The PML-N leader had alleged that Farhat Shezadi, a close of Bushra Bibi, remained actively involved in running the day-to-day affairs of the Usman Buzdar-led 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.... government and would also receive bribes for official transfer and postings of the officials.

[Rudaw] Iraq’s national security advisor on Thursday praised the repatriation and rehabilitation process of Iraqi nationals from the notorious al-Hol camp in northeast Syria which houses tens of thousands of Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) affiliates.
"The number of families who went back to their places of origin is around 600, and until now we have not received a single complaint about their presence in their areas," National Security Advisor Qasim al-Araji said during the Iraq Forum 2023 in Baghdad, urging the need to protect Iraqis, particularly children, who remain languishing in the camp.
Araji added that Iraq has "welcomed" nine large batches of nationals home from al-Hol camp, all of whom have successfully undergone rehabilitation and are now residing in their places of origin.
"The al-Hol camp ... is a ticking time bomb. If a ticking time bomb exists in a place, do we wait or do we work to defuse the bomb?" Araji said about the camp, infamously regarded as a place where ISIS sleeper cells operate and spread the terror group’s ideology.
While the international community has largely been unwilling to repatriate its nationals from the squalid camp, Araji noted that countries are starting to open up to that prospect.
"Many of the world’s countries now have started to repatriate their nationals from al-Hol camp," he said.
Iraqis have made up more than half of the population of al-Hol camp in Rojava’s Hasaka province for years. The camp houses over 50,000 residents, most of which are wives and children of the ISIS fighters.
Iraq has over the past year repatriated over 700 families from al-Hol, most of which are sent through a rehabilitation process in Iraq.
The infamous camp is known for having a strong network with remaining ISIS groups on the loose, and it is often suspected to be an arena for ISIS operations.
The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in cooperation with the US-led Coalition forces has on several occasions conducted wide security operations in the camp, arresting several ISIS members.
The SDF arrested thousands of ISIS fighters and their wives and children when they took control of the group's last stronghold in Syria in March 2019.
Thomas Rowekamp, a member of the German parliament, praised his country’s role in the fight against ISIS and affirmed that German support for Iraq will continue.
"The German government, together with 85 other international partners, we supported the ISF [Iraqi Security Forces] in this fight, and it was successful. ISIS [Arabic acronym for ISIS] has been defeated but it has not disappeared," Rowekamp said.
The politician added that Germany, which currently provides support to the Iraqi army and Peshmerga in an advisory role, is willing to provide further support to Iraq if Baghdad requests it to do so.
The German military has been an essential member of the global coalition against ISIS and has a solid presence in the Kurdistan Region. In late October, the German parliament voted to extend its military mandate to the country by a year to continue its advisory role against the threat of ISIS.
The German government decided on January 12 to end its military mission in Syria but keep up to 500 soldiers in Iraq until the end of October 2022. The government sent a motion to the parliament which voted in favor of the extension of troops mandate in Iraq.
Germany has been an essential member of the global coalition against ISIS. The Coalition was formally established in October 2014, after ISIS took control of vast swathes of territories in Iraq and Syria. Consisting of 84 nations, the US-led Coalition’s mission has been "degrading and ensuring ISIS’s enduring defeat," it says on its website, using Arabic acronym for the Death Eater group.
Speaking at the Iraq Forum in Baghdad, al-Araji said al-Hol as a predominantly security-focused camp, accommodating nearly 7,000 Iraqi families, a comparable number of Syrian families, and approximately 10,000 foreign "jihadists."
He characterized the camp as a "ticking time bomb," considering the presence of more than 20,000 vulnerable minors and numerous female victims.
