[FoxNews] A Maryland sheriff confirmed to Fox News Thursday that there are "multiple fatalities" at the offices of the Annapolis Capital-Gazette.
Anne Arundel County Sheriff Ron Bateman told Shepard Smith that a suspect has been apprehended at the newspaper's office, located on Bestgate Road, off Defense Highway in Parole, Md.
Authorities have not released any information on the suspect or a potential motive.
The Capital-Gazette, which serves the Annapolis area and Kent Narrows, is a subsidiary of the Baltimore Sun newspaper, and Trace Gallagher reported that newsroom was later swept for possible threats.
Anne Arundel County Sheriffs Office spokesman Mark Limansky told the Associated Press that the "situation is active" as of 3:15 p.m. local time.
Defense Highway, or MD-450, a main suburban alternate to the Annapolis-to-Washington expressway US-50/US-301, has been shut down, according to Trace Gallagher.
The New York City Police Department, "out of an abundance of caution" is dispatching teams of officers to all media outlets in the city.
Shepard Smith noted those outlets includes eight local television stations. New York is also home to Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, CBS and NBC News.
An intern at the Annapolis Capital-Gazette, Anthony Messenger, tweeted a cry for help around the time the shooting was first reported.

Now to see whether the miscreant is suffering from Sudden Jihad Syndrome or drugs/crazy/psychopathy.
Thank you for being on top of this for us, Deacon Blues.
Senior law enforcement officials confirmed with CBS News that the suspect is a white man in his 20s and didn’t have identification on him. He is also reportedly refusing to identify himself to authorities.
CBS News is also reporting that the suspect was armed with a shotgun
What “white” in this context means remains to be seen...

Reports said he had a vendetta against the paper and had posted threats.
Still, with police responding within 60 seconds and securing everyone and everything quickly it so far is sounding like they did a great job to keep this from getting worse.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... special envoy to Yemen, Martin Griffiths, has informed Yemeni president Abd Rabu Mansour Hadi that the Houthis have accepted putting the port city of Hodeidah under a UN surveillance.
Hadi had earlier informed the UN envoy that it is very important that the Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews ... militias withdraw from Hodeidah and its port or they would have to face military action.
Meanwhile, ...back at the wrecked scow, Agent 49 felt gingerly for his head. It was still there. He had been hoping differently... the Yemeni legitimate army backed by Arab coalition, continued its operations in the direction of Hodeidah city and its port, while the UN envoy continues his efforts regarding the Yemeni port city.
It is expected that Griffiths would meet later in the day with president Hadi and other local legitimate officials in the city in order to discuss efforts to spare Hodeidah a military confrontation and to resume political negotiations.
The Arab coalition and Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... legitimate government stressed that the withdrawal of the Houthi militias from Hodeidah city and its port is a condition fror the resumption of political negotiations and to halt all military operations.
But a Yemeni official revealed that Griffiths’ efforts focus on putting the port of Hodeidah under a UN surveillance.

[AlAhram] Ottoman Turkish authorities have ordered the detention of 192 military personnel in operations targeting suspected supporters of a U.S.-based Moslemholy man accused of orchestrating a failed coup two years ago, authorities and media said on Wednesday.
One former brigadier general and 30 pilots were among 99 members of the airforce facing possible charges in an investigation launched by Ankara prosecutors and spread across 20 other provinces, the prosecutors' office said.
It said the detainees were suspected of being in contact with the network of the holy man, Fetullah Gulen, and of communicating with it via periodic pay phone calls, a method believed to be used by the supporters of the group.
In a separate series of operations, authorities ordered the detention of 93 personnel from the army, navy and coastguard, the state-run Anadolu news agency reported.
Authorities have regularly conducted such sweeps against alleged supporters of Gulen since the coup attempt in July 2016, in which 250 people were killed. Gulen, who has lived in self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania since 1999, denies involvement.
On Tuesday Ottoman Turkish authorities ordered the detention of 132 people in nationwide operations.
In total, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... has detained some 160,000 people and dismissed nearly the same number of state employees since the coup attempt, the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... said in March. Of those, more than 50,000 have been formally charged and are being kept in jail during trial.
Turkey's Western allies have criticised the scale of the crackdown.
Critics of President Tayyip Erdogan accuse him of using the failed putsch to quash dissent. Turkey says the measures are necessary to combat threats to national security.
Erdogan won a further five years in power in Turkey's presidential election on Sunday. He has also gained sweeping new powers under a constitutional revamp that took effect after the election.

Salahuddin (IraqiNews.com) A human rights official in Iraq said the bodies of six people kidnapped by Islamic State militants were found in Salahuddin province.
Sputnik agency quoted Ali a-Bayyati, a member of Iraq’s human rights commission, saying that “eight abductees were found dead near Tal al-Sharaf, Salman Beik, Salahuddin province, north of Baghdad.
He said the victims were maimed by the militants.
The news were confirmed by Ali al-Husseini, a commander of the Popular Mobilization Forces, who told Shafaq News website that the corpses were “badly mutilated” which made it hard to identify them.
The Iraq’ Security Media Center, a media arm of the Joint Operations Command, said earlier on Wednesday that troops found dead bodies on the Baghdad-Kirkuk road, but could not confirm if they belonged to the kidnapped persons. The center urged media outlets on Tuesday not to drift with rumors about the execution of the victims.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi hinted Tuesday that the incident was being used to “weaken the country”.
Last Saturday, a video was posted purporting to show Islamic State militants threatening to execute six abductees if the Iraqi government does not release female detainees linked with the extremist group.
Diyala (Iraqinews.com) – A wide-scale military operation was launched Wednesday in search of the six people kidnapped last week by Islamic State (IS) group in Hamrin region in Diyala, a local military commander was quoted as saying.
Speaking to Alghad Press, Commander of Diyala Operations Maj. Gen. Mazhar al-Azzawi said, “A joint force made up of security men and military intelligence personnel launched a military operation in the areas surrounding Hamrin region between Qarah Tabbah town and the Baghdad-Kirkuk road to find the six people kidnapped by Islamic State militants last week.”
“The results of the military operation will be announced soon,” according to al-Azzawi.
The Islamic State group on Sunday released a video on its Amaq propaganda agency, threatening to execute the six men it kidnapped last week unless authorities in Baghdad release Sunni Muslim female prisoners within three days.
The kidnapped men were found to be members of the Iraqi police and al-Hashed al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces).
The militant group had posted some videos on its propaganda websites, claiming that seventeen people were kidnapped on a highway between Kirkuk and Baghdad, a road that has seen an uptick in attacks by the Islamic State in recent weeks.

[IsraelTimes] Cops confiscate money from East Jerusalem home of Alaa Abu Dheim, who killed students in a terror attack at Jerusalem's Mercaz Harav yeshiva in 2008
Police seized tens of thousands of shekels from the family of an East Jerusalem terrorist on Wednesday, which cops said was paid as a stipend by the Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, terror group.
The NIS 43,000 ($11,800) in Israeli and foreign currency had been given to the family of Alaa Abu Dheim, who in 2008 rubbed out eight Israeli students, aged 15-26, in Jerusalem’s Mercaz Harav yeshiva and maimed 11 more.
Abu Dheim, from the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Jabel Mukaber, was killed during the attack by an off-duty IDF captain and a student in the yeshiva.
"The activities carried out this morning were another step in the general actions of the Israel Police and security forces to prevent, thwart and stop those directly involved in riots or terror activities in Jerusalem, and also against those who encourage and support terrorists," police said in a statement.
"The operation was the result of covert activity and targeted intelligence gathering by the Israeli Police and security forces which found that the family of the terrorist who live in East Jerusalem received cash and funding from Hamas in support for the murderous terror attack," police said.
"We will not permit financial support from a terror organization for the families of bully boyz who carry out murderous attacks," they added.
Security forces and politicians have worked to end payments from the Paleostinian Authority and from Paleostinian terror groups to families of bully boyz which they say encourage further attacks.
On Wednesday politicians gave the final go-ahead for a decisive vote on a bill that would slash funds to the PA by the amount Ramallah pays out to convicted terrorists.
The bill, proposed by Yesh Atid MK Elazar Stern and Likud MK Avi Dichter, says that welfare payments paid out by the PA to Paleostinian prisoners and their relatives must be deducted from tax revenues Israel transfers annually to the administrative body. The money withheld in this way would instead go into a fund designated to help victims of terror attacks.
Under the current law, based on the 1994 Oslo Accords that established the PA and the mechanism for Israeli funding, the finance minister already has the ability to freeze funds.
The measure, which would cut hundreds of millions of shekels from tax revenues transferred to the PA, is similar to a measure recently passed in the US, known as the Taylor Force Act, withholding funding to the PA over stipends to bully boyz and their families.
According to the Defense Ministry, the PA in 2017 paid NIS 687 million ($198 million) to the so-called "deaders’ families fund" and NIS 550 million ($160 million) to the Paleostinian Prisoners’ Club ‐ some 7 percent of its overall budget.
Paleostinian prisoners serving 20- to 30-year sentences for carrying out terror attacks are eligible for a lifetime NIS 10,000 ($2,772) monthly stipend, the Defense Ministry said, citing PA figures. Those prisoners who receive a three- to five-year sentence get a monthly wage of NIS 2,000 ($554). Paleostinian prisoners who are married, have children, live in Jerusalem, or hold Israeli citizenship receive additional payments.
The Defense Ministry last month released figures alleging that some bully boyz who killed Israelis will be paid more than NIS 10 million ($2.78 million) each throughout their lifetimes by the PA.

About time. Allowing funding that is used in such a manner is the height of absurdity. I also find it shocking that so much of that funding goes to these losers. This is not your milk money for school lunch. Add to this the cost of their underground transit system..........
[Ynet] Army confirms it foiled attempt to infiltrate the Israel border east of Rafah, shortly after 15-year-old Paleostinian seriously maimed by live rounds while also breaching fence; teen transported to the Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon for treatment.
Three Paleostinians were shot by IDF soldiers on Wednesday evening near the Gazoo border after the army "spotted the bandidosbully boyz damaging the fence and trying to infiltrate into Israeli territory from southern Gazoo," according to the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.
The incident, which took place, east of Rafah, left the Paleostinians maimed. Their condition was not immediately clear.
"The forces responded with fire against the bandidosbully boyz and prevented an infiltration," the IDF statement said.
Paleostinian media initially reported that four people had been injured.
Earlier in the day, the IDF fired at a group of Paleostinians who tried to breach the border with Israel near Kibbutz Mefalsim.
A 15-year-old Paleostinian teen was maimed and evacuated to the Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon for treatment. His condition is described as critical.
Earlier in the day, the joint military branches of all terror organization in Gazoo took responsibility for rocket fire on the Gazoo border region early Wednesday morning, which they claim was in response to an Israeli attack on a Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, krazed killer's vehicle.
"A bombing will be answered with a bombing," a statement issued from the strip said, adding that they are ready to retaliate immediately to any Israeli military provocation.
Paleostinian sources familiar with the details questionws the credibility of the message implying that the overnight attacks were launched together with the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... , saying that Hamas was exclusively behind the barrage.
According to the sources, the statement was issued to convey to Israel that every military action in Gazoo will continue to be followed by a military response from the strip as part of Hamas’ attempt to try and change the status quo.
[PhilStar] Three more members of the banned Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters surrendered on Friday and pledged allegiance to the Philippine flag.
One of them told reporters they decided to surrender and turn over their firearms after realizing that their group, based in central Mindanao’s Liguasan Delta, could be next military target following an airstrike there two weeks ago that destroyed their makeshift bomb-making facility and killed nine, three of them foreign terrorists.
He said the squabbles of their commanders for leadership of the BIFF - which has three factions now, one of them led by an Islamic State-inspired cleric, Imam Abu Toraife - are worsening.
The surrender of the three men brings to 18 the number of BIFF rebels who surrendered to the 6th ID since April this year. The first to give up were four rebels trained in bomb-making by slain Malaysian terrorist Zulkifli bin Hir, most known as Marwan. Eleven more surrendered three weeks later.
Reports have circulated purporting that more than 20 BIFF members had been executed by their comrades from April to May alone on the mere suspicion they were in talks with groups interceding for their surrender. Two of those reportedly killed by companions gangland style, Akong Sumael and Khalid Tangan, were accused of providing the military information on their movements in the Liguasan Delta.
[PhilStar] Eight Philippine soldiers were injured in an clash with Abu Sayyaf militants in Patikul, Sulu on Saturday afternoon. Military spokesman Gerry Besana said troops encountered around 40 rebels led by Almujer Jada and Sonny Boy Sajirin in Barangay Bangkal.
They say Sonny Boy is the greatest blues musician in Mindanao.
The military said the rebels also suffered casualties, citing bloodstains on their escape route. War materiel, including an improvised explosive device, were recovered at the scene.
Meanwhile, a suspected follower of Abu Sayyaf leader Radullan Sahiron; Suaib Hayudini, alias Enteng; was arrested in Barangay Walled City, Jolo on Sunday.
Graciano Mijares, the police director for the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, said the arrest was based on warrants for kidnapping and serious illegal detention and kidnapping with frustrated murder issued in 2003.
Sahiron was tagged in the kidnapping of ten Europeans, nine Malaysians and two Filipinos at a resort on Sipadan island in 2000. The captives were held in Sulu for five months and freed in batches after the alleged payment of large ransom.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Tehran’s Grand Bazaar protests have entered their third day as thousands of protesters over the past days have rallied against rising prices and the Iranian currency’s sinking value.
But the protests have escalated in their tone by chanting anti-regime slogans critical of the Iranian leadership. Videos published online Wednesday morning have shown protesters saying "don’t be afraid, we are all united".
Pictures circulated showed shops as they remained shut as part of a traders’ strike at the capital’s bazaar that began days ago.
A video posted to social media show protesters chanted "Death to Rouhani," the country’s president, and "No to Gazoo, No to Leb" in reference to Iran's support of proxy groups in the region.
Security forces have attacked the demonstrators on Tuesday near the gold souk in Tehran as fired rubber bullets at them.
Footage shared by activists showed a member of security forces dressed in civilian attire beating a demonstrator forcefully as fellow protesters shouted.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] With the Syrian regime’s continuous bombardments and Arclight airstrikes on southwestern Daraa, thousands of displaced civilians are trying to escape to safety away from the military operations and near the Jordanian border and the areas close to the occupied Golan Heights.
Some of the displaced civilians sought shelter at thehomes of family and friends, while others took shelter in schools. Even then, a large number of the displaced were left stranded in the bushes without any shelter.
The United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... estimated the number of those displaced near the Jordanian border at 45,000, while the number of the displaced from all areas in Daraa is far more than the UN figure.
According to local sources, some of the displaced took shelter in areas close to the occupied Golan Heights as the Syrian regime avoided shelling this area which is close to Israel.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights quoted sources as saying that the Syrian regime is banning civilians from entering areas under its control, and neither is it allowing them to go to the capital Damascus by putting barracks and security checkpoints on the roads and imposing fines of up to $500 on those wanting to enter areas under Bashir al-Assad’s control.

The statement noted that ISIS was defeated under the intensive strikes of the heroes of the Syrian Arab Army on all directions as all of its sites and positions were destroyed up to the administrative border of Homs province.
The General Command stressed that the clearing of this vast area in the Syrian Badia and the crushing of ISISgunnies in that region confirms the high efficiency of the Syrian army’s heroes.
The Command expressed its commitment to continue to pursue the remnants of terrorist organizations of different names until security, peace and stability prevail throughout the country and the entire Syrian territory is purged of the abomination of Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... terrorism and its regional and international supporters.

During the clash, the Revolutionary Guard forces killed three of the Lions of Islam and maimed an unspecified number of others. Fars reported that others escaped into Pakistain. The report did not say to which group the murderous Moslems belonged.

June 27 (UPI) -- The first suspect to be charged in the 2012 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Libya was sentenced to 22 years in prison, the Justice Department announced on Wednesday.
....before his capture a leader in a revolutionary gang working to overthrow Moammar Khaddaffy...
a former auto mechanic who prosecutors accused of masterminding the attack that killed four Americans, was found guilty on Nov. 28 of several terrorism-related charges. But Khatallah was found not guilty of the more serious charges, including murder.
The sentence imposed Wednesday is for conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, destroying property, placing lives in jeopardy within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States and one count of using and carrying a semiautomatic assault rifle during a crime of violence.
Despite being found not guilty of the more serious charges, District Judge Christopher Cooper still could have imposed a life sentence on Khatallah based on the charges he was convicted of but chose not to.
"Even if you did not pour the gasoline or light the match, the evidence showed you were aware of the attack, and once the gates were breached, the likelihood someone would die was extreme high. This was not guilt by association," Cooper told Khatallah, according to The Washington Post. "This case stands as an exemplar for the principle that a defendant accused of international terrorism can get a fair trial in the U.S. criminal justice system."
Khatallah's sentence marks an end to a four-year legal battle since he was captured in Libya on June 14, 2014 and taken to the United States to stand trial.

Probably already had been loaded on some nondescript freighter bound for the Levant by then, Abu.

One wonders if Mr. Abu Kharallah is connected to the various nests of ISIS jihadis who were the children of Libyan anti-Khaddaffy groups allowed to settle with their families in England and western Europe several decades ago, who in recent years have planned and executed elaborate terror attacks between holidays visiting the folks back home in Libya.
