[LasVegasSun] A container ship anchored at Dubai's huge port caught fire late Wednesday Thursday, the emirate's media office reported, causing an explosion that sent tremors across the commercial hub of the United Arab Emirates.
The Twitter post from Dubai's state-run media office said that a fire was reported to have erupted on a ship and that a team of firefighters was working to control the blaze. Witnesses reported shaking buildings across the city.
People in Dubai recording with their phones from their high-rises posted frantic videos on social media showing a fiery ball illuminating the night sky.
[NY Post] WaPo and Qatari MB whore was also corrupt in other matters.
Murdered journalist beloved martyr of journalism Jamal Khashoggi ......who was simultaneously a very well paid Washington Post columnist and a long time propagandist for the Moslem Brotherhood and Al Qaeda — he died while on the Qatari payroll, but previously wrote at the behest of then-Saudi intel chief Prince Turki al-Faisal...... was living a double life with two different women when he was executed ‐ including one he had secretly married, according to a new podcast.
The Washington Post columnist was tortured and then dismembered inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2, 2018, where he'd gone to get documents he needed to be able to marry fiancée Hatice Cengiz.
At the time, Cengiz had no idea that Khashoggi was also seeing Egyptian flight attendant Hanan El-Atr ‐ nor that he had secretly married her in Virginia just four months earlier, she told Yahoo! News' "Conspiracyland."
"He told me when he proposed to me, there is no one in his life," Cengiz told the investigative podcast.
El-Atr said she was equally in the dark about Cengiz, too ‐ whom Kashoggi met while El-Atr was detained for 10 days by Emirati security agents who grilled her about her relationship with him, she said.
El-Atr said that she became an item with the journalist when she started visiting him in his home in Washington, DC, in the early months of 2018 while she made twice-monthly trips there for work.
When he proposed soon afterward, he texted her to say that she "will be the happiest bride."
"I throw myself at you, kiss you and delight you. I take out a watch or a necklace or perfume I bought for you to delight you," he texted her, according to the episode titled, "A Tale of Two Women."
They married in an Islamic ceremony performed by an imam in a northern Virginia mosque on June 2, exactly four months before his murder, according to court records reviewed by Yahoo News.
However, they never got a civil marriage license, meaning the union was not legally binding. The groom did buy her two rings for a total of $2,000, the podcast said, citing receipts from a local jewelry store.
But that spring and summer he also started making frequent flights to Istanbul to see Cengiz, texting El-Atr that his "sister is here in Istanbul" to explain the trips, she told the podcast.
