[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • A knifeman has wounded three men on a high-speed train in Germany today

  • Attacker struck on high-speed ICE train between Regensburg and Nuremberg

  • Police received a call about the incident at around 9am local time on Saturday

  • A 27-year-old Syrian suspect was arrested at Seubersdorf, south of Nuremberg
Breitbart adds:
The Bild later updated its article to specify it understands the suspect is a Syrian named Abdalrahman A. who last lived in Passau, a German city on the Austrian border. He allegedly came to Germany in 2014 and had been granted refugee status.

#1  Bild, the German mass daily newspaper, said the knife attacker was a 27-year-old Syrian. He is said to have had psychological problems and reportedly also called for help on the train.

Interior Minister Horst Seehofer said the background behind the 'terrible' attack was 'still unclear' and is 'now being clarified.' He said people in Seubersdorf faced no 'acute danger.'

Deadly week for migrants on French coast; at least 3 killed
[AlAhram] A train struck and killed a migrant from Eritrea
...is run by the People's Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ), with about the amounts of democracy and justice you'd expect from a party with that name. National elections have been periodically scheduled and cancelled; none have ever been held in the country. The president, Isaias Afewerki, has been in office since independence in 1993 and will probably die there of old age...
and at least two bodies were recovered from the sea and on a beach in northern La Belle France during what has been a particularly deadly week for migrants colonists attempting treacherous crossings to Britannia.

Many hundreds of people, setting off in a flotilla of boats, quickly ran into trouble in the waters between northern La Belle France and Britannia. The waterway with changeable weather, cold seas and heavy maritime traffic is dangerous for the inflatables and other small boats that men, women and kiddies squeeze into for attempted crossings.

From Monday night to Wednesday night, more than 1,000 people were picked up off the coast during dozens of rescue operations by French maritime vessels backed up by helicopters.

One person taken unconscious from the sea on Wednesday was later declared dead on shore, French maritime authorities said. Another person was declared missing, having fallen off a boat from which other people were rescued in the waters off the coastal town of Calais.

Another body was recovered on a beach west of Calais on Thursday, along with a boat filled with water and two survivors who were hospitalized with hypothermia, maritime authorities said.

The train that killed the migrant from Eritrea on Thursday night was traveling on a rail line in Calais that migrants colonists often use as a footpath, authorities said.

Another Eritrean was critically injured and two others were slightly injured. They were among a group of migrants colonists who were walking along the tracks in heavy rain and after dark, making it hard for the train driver to see them and for them to see the train, Franck Dhersin, a regional vice president for transportation, told French broadcaster BFM-TV.

Dhersin, who is also a village mayor near the coastal town of Dunkirk, said dozens of migrants colonists are arriving daily in the area. He appealed for help, saying: 'We feel abandoned by the government'.

'There is a new influx of migrants colonists', he said. 'There are more and more deaths. There are more and more festivities. There are also a lot of fights between traffickers who regularly fire at each other's legs with Kalashnikov rifles'.

Fifth Column
Minneapolis leftists threaten to burn down another police station after election defeat
[ALPHANEWS.ORG] Leftists in Minneapolis are so unhappy with the results of their city’s democratic process that they want to burn down another police precinct.

"Do you want more burned precincts? Because this is how you get more burned precincts," said Ian Coldwater, a widely followed, Twitter-verified, Minneapolis-based anarchist after the city reelected Mayor Jacob Frey
...The inept and ineffective (but I repeat myself) Dem class president mayor of Minneapolis during the George Floyd race riots. Frey issued the order for police to evacuate the Third Precinct so it could safely be burned to the ground, and has since dithered, waffled, and obfuscated on a near daily basis. The city is a Dem stronghold, so he'll probably be reelected...
and voted decisively to not remove the police department from its City Charter. This sentiment was echoed by dozens of other Twin Cities anarchists who said they’re ready to commit violence.

Many accounts, including the Twin Cities Workers Defense Alliance, a left-wing organizing group, have also posted pictures of the Third Precinct burning last summer. This act of terrorism "did way more good than voting ever could," one commenter added under the Alliance’s post.

Dr. Julie Tilsen, a member of the University of Minnesota’s "community faculty," fondly reminisced about the takeover of the Third Precinct, suggested that she participated, and warned that "after tonight, Minneapolis is a lot less safe."

This is not the first time the professor, who frequently calls her followers "comrades," has recommended violence against the police in response to current events. Over the summer, she encouraged the burning of another precinct.

Many leftists also cast doubt on the legitimacy of the municipal election.

"It’s almost like voting is bullshit," said an account run by a local Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
organizer, Natalina Slaughter, who is only interested in options that involve violence.

"Someone wake me back up when we [choose] violence," she said.

Others called for violence against media outlets that provided a perspective that questioned left-wing narratives.

The proposal to replace the Minneapolis Police Department with a department of public safety, which may or may not have included coppers, was defeated by 12 points in Tuesday’s election.

The plan was backed by several Minnesota Democrats, including Rep. Ilhan Omar
...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side...
and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison.

The usual questions:
When will we see arrests and indictments from the US DOJ or the Minnesota AG regarding these criminal events?

Since these person(s) have open made terroristic threats which would clearly place innocent lives in danger, is it acceptable to apply Stand your ground self defense measures?


2021 Minnesota Statutes

609.713 THREATS OF VIOLENCE.

1.Threaten violence; intent to terrorize.

...terror or inconvenience may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than five years or to payment of a fine of not more than $10,000, or both. As used in this subdivision, "crime of violence" has the meaning given "violent crime" in section 609.1095, subdivision 1, paragraph (d).

2.Communicates to terrorize.

Whoever communicates to another with purpose to terrorize another or in reckless disregard of the risk of causing such terror, that explosives or an explosive device or any incendiary device is present at a named place or location, whether or not the same is in fact present, may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than three years or to payment of a fine of not more than $3,000, or both.

Pathological Empathy: Illegal Alien Murders Man Who Sheltered Him

Yery Noel Medina Ulloa, who recently turned 24, "was busted Oct. 7 in Jacksonville when he was found covered in blood after allegedly killing Francisco Javier Cuellar, 46, a father of four who had taken in the immigrant who told authorities he was 17,"

...it was not clear how Ulloa made it to Florida after being detained in Texas or if he was transported across the U.S. on the Biden administration’s secret late night flights.

Peshmerga foils ISIS attack in Kifri: ministry
[Rudaw] Islamic State

(ISIS) turbans carried out an attack against Peshmerga forces in Kifri on the Kurdistan Region’s borders with Iraq late Friday, the ministry said in a statement. There were no casualties.

The Peshmerga ministry announced on Friday that ISIS attacked them on the Kifri-Garmaser border between the Sulaimani and Diyala provinces at 8pm, but that the attack was "forcefully and quickly responded to by Peshmerga forces", with no Peshmerga hurt.

According to the ministry, ISIS also attacked them in Pirde (Altun Kupri) on the Erbil-Kirkuk border late Wednesday, resulting in no casualties.

ISIS grabbed credit on Monday for a deadly attack against the Peshmerga in Pirde which killed two Peshmerga.

The group is especially active in the parts of northern Iraq that remain disputed by Erbil and Baghdad, including in the provinces of Kirkuk,

groups clashed with security forces in Iraq's capital on Friday, expressing their fury over last month's election result, AFP journalists and a security source said.

The political arm of the pro-Iran Hashed al-Shaabi paramilitary network saw its share of legislative seats decline substantially in October's election, which the group's supporters have denounced as "fraud."

Demonstrators from groups loyal to the Hashed threw projectiles and "blocked... access to the Green Zone" on three sides, before they were pushed back by police who had gun sex, a security source said, requesting anonymity.

The Green Zone is a high security area housing the US embassy and Iraq's election commission.

The Conquest (Fatah) Alliance, the political arm of the multi-party Hashed, won around 15 of 329 seats contested in the October 10 vote, according to preliminary results.

In the last parliament it held 48, making it the second-largest bloc.

The big winner this time, with more than 70 seats according to the initial count, was the movement of Moqtada Sadr, a Shia Moslem preacher who campaigned as a nationalist and critic of Iran.

"The protesters support Assaib Ahl al-Haq and the Hezbollah brigades," the security source added.

Both these groups operate under the Hashed umbrella.

The Hezbollah Brigades dubbed last month's election as the "worst" since 2003, when dictator Saddam Hussein was toppled in a US-led invasion.

Hundreds of pro-Hashed supporters also rallied against the results on October 19.

"No to fraud, no to America," they chanted at that protest.

The Hashed demands the withdrawal of US forces from the country.

US troops remain in Iraq as part of the coalition that helped Baghdad in the fight against the Islamic State

group, which the government declared defeated in late 2017.

But the Hashed, known in English as the Popular Mobilisation Forces, were themselves central in turning the military tide against IS, after Iraq's army crumbled against the jihadists' advance in 2014.

The Hashed were integrated into state security forces and the political arm rode a wave of popularity to perform strongly in the 2018 national election.

An unprecedented protest movement broke out two years ago and railed against the political class running the oil-rich but poverty-stricken country where youth unemployment is soaring.

National elections were brought forward as a concession to those protesters, who had also complained that Iraq was beholden to Iran.

Factions of the Hashed have faced accusations of targeting activists.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
IDF arrests 2 suspects in Golan for entering Israeli territory from Syria
[IsraelTimes] Army says the two men were nabbed in ambush along border; arrests follow recent reported attacks on targets linked to Iran’s efforts to establish military presence in area.

Israeli troops early Friday arrested two suspects in the Golan Heights who intentionally entered Israeli territory from Syria, the military said.

The Israel Defense Forces said the suspects were arrested during a "planned ambush" in an area along the border that is under Israeli illusory sovereignty but on the Syrian side of the security fence.

The military said the suspects intentionally crossed into Israeli territory, without further elaborating.

"The ambush was carried out as part of the continued effort to defend the border," an IDF statement said.

The two suspects were taken for questioning after they were arrested. The military did not specify whether or not they were armed when captured.

The arrests follow a number of recent attacks in Syria that were attributed to Israel, including a helicopter strike several weeks ago on targets reportedly linked to the Hezbollah terror group’s efforts to establish a presence along the Golan frontier.

Thirteen-year old Palestinian said shot dead by IDF in clashes near Nablus
[IsraelTimes] Israeli army checking report of casualty, says troops used crowd control measures and live fire during ’riot;’ Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", calls death a ’war crime’.

A 13-year-old Paleostinian boy was shot and killed by Israeli forces near Nablus on Friday afternoon, Paleostinian Authority health officials said.

According to the PA health ministry, the boy arrived at a Nablus hospital with bullet wounds to his stomach. He died despite the efforts of medical staff, the ministry said.

Local Paleostinian media identified the 13-year-old as Muhammad Daadas. Clashes took place between Israeli forces and local Paleostinians in the village of Deir al-Hatab village, east of Nablus, before Daadas’s death.

The Israeli army said its forces had responded to a riot near the nearby Israeli settlement of Alon Moreh.

"During the disturbance, rioters threw stones at Israeli soldiers. The troops responded with riot dispersal means and live fire," an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson said.

The army said it was "checking" reports of a Paleostinian casualty.

The Paleostinian Red Islamic Thingy said 71 other people were maimed in festivities, most of them suffering from the effects of tear gas inhalation.

Paleostinian reports said the demonstrators were protesting against Israeli settlements and that troops used tear gas, stun grenades and live fire to disperse the demonstrations.

Two other Paleostinians were maimed Friday in festivities in Beita, another West Bank village where locals have protested for months against the establishment of an illegal settlement outpost.

The Hamas terror group mourned the 13-year-old, calling his death "a war crime."

"This blood shall be the fuel for our people’s revolution, which will not rest until it achieves its goals," Hamas spokesperson Hazim Qasim said.

The festivities come days after Israel announced it would advance plans for 3,000 more homes for Jewish settlers in the West Bank, despite international criticism. Israel also advanced plans to build about 1,300 homes for Paleostinians in the West Bank.

The settlement housing, the first to be advanced since United States President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity, except maybe for abandoning Afghanistan...
took office, sparked widespread condemnation in the international community. Many view Israeli construction in the West Bank as a serious obstacle to the establishment of a Paleostinian state.

"We are deeply concerned about the Israeli government’s plan to advance thousands of settlement units on Wednesday, many of them deep in the West Bank," State Department front man Ned Price told news hounds last Tuesday.

Settlement construction has also split the diverse, fragile coalition that currently governs Israel. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, a former leader in the settler movement, maintains power with the left-wing Meretz and Labor parties and the Arab Ra’am party, which strongly oppose settlements.

Palestinian indicted for seriously wounding border cop in West Bank ramming
[IsraelTimes] Suspect charged with military’s equivalent of attempted murder over attack last month at checkpoint near Jerusalem.

A Paleostinian suspect has been indicted in a military court for a recent car-ramming attack near a West Bank crossing in which a border policeman was seriously maimed, police announced Friday.

According to police, the October 14 attack occurred as Israeli forces near the Qalandiya checkpoint north of Jerusalem were carrying out demolition orders on illegal structures built in the area.

The suspect, a Qalandiya resident in his early 20s, allegedly accelerated his car toward Border Police deployed along the road and struck an officer, who was seriously hurt.

Police said the suspect then attempted to run over another officer, but was "neutralized" by the forces at the scene and taken into custody.

The suspect was later hospitalized for a moderate head wound.
"Agghghgh! My head! You've killed me!"
"Nahhh.. that's a light head wound. This is a moderate head wound"
"Agghghgh! My head! You've killed me!"

The indictment was filed by military prosecutors on Thursday. The charges include attempting to intentionally cause death — the military equivalent of attempted murder — interfering with a soldier and maliciously damaging the property of public servants.

"Police forces will continue to act and defend with their bodies the well-being and security of Israeli citizens," police said.

Thai Businessman Suspected of Funding Insurgents Nabbed for Money Laundering
[BenarNews] Thai police on Friday arrested a runaway businessman charged with laundering money who according to military officials may be funding separatist Death Eaters in the mostly Moslem southern border provinces.

Police said they arrested Sahachai Jiensermsin, 53, in Bangkok on Thursday night.

"He denied all the charges, but the police are continuing with the proceedings," Police Lt. Gen. Jirapob Puridej, chief of the Central Investigation Bureau, told a presser in Bangkok.

Jiraprob said that in 2012, a police team targeting oil smugglers seized a boat owned by Sahachai as it was illegally dispensing fuel to other boats off the shore of Songkhla province, in the Thai Deep South, and confiscated 48 million baht ($1.44 million) in cash.

In a subsequent home search, police found evidence of 400-500 million liters of oil trade transactions and a tally of bribes paid to officials, Jiraprob said. The discovery prompted the Anti-Money Laundering Office, a government agency, to order an investigation in 2015.

He said the economic crime division, which now handles both cases, charged Sahachai in 2015, but an arrest warrant was issued only in February of this year.

Jirapob told news hounds that Sahachai's arrest was delayed because he had managed to travel in and out of Thailand using other nations' passports. When he was arrested, he was found to be holding a Cambodian passport. Officials were trying to verify if it was genuine, the police said.

Sahachai has been charged in 14 cases since 2003, including illegal smuggling of goods, bribery, and unlicensed fishing in the Deep South and central Thailand, according to police. Most of the cases have either expired or have ended in acquittal, they said.

Due to his high profile and connections, Sahachai has earned the nickname "Sia Jo Pattani," or Tycoon Jo Pattani, and local media have alleged that authorities helped him evade jail time.

Sahachai was transferred Friday to the office of Songkhla’s attorney general, who will decide the next step, an official told BenarNews on condition of anonymity, because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Songkhla's attorney general could not be reached for comment.

SUSPECTED LINKS TO DEATH EATERS
Thailand's Deep South, which encompasses Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat, and four districts of Songkhla, has a common border with Malaysia and is notorious as a corridor for smuggled goods, including fuel, palm oil, alcohol, cigarettes, electronics, and home appliances, according to security officials.

Military officials in the Deep South said Sahachai was a critical player in illicit cross-border trades and was under investigation for possibly financing the separatist insurgency there.

"We monitored Sia Jo and other operators who are suspected of funding local murderous Moslems," said an official who asked not to be named because he was not allowed to speak to news hounds.

"Sia Jo was a major player in posing collateral threats to the violence, and he was still active before the arrest," Maj. Gen. Pramote Prom-in, a front man for the military command in the Deep South (ISOC-4), told BenarNews on Friday. "He has to pay the price."

Pramote did not give further details. Military officials usually use the term "collateral threats" for those who pay Death Eaters for protection or hire them to kill their enemies or officials.

People conducting illegal activities along the southern border, such as smuggling fuel or goods, drug trades, and human trafficking, typically have links with the insurgency and benefit the button men one way or another, said a military official, who likewise asked not to be named.

"We have proof that 'black business' operators paid protection money to murderous Moslems, who mounted attacks," the official said.
