A native of Nazran is wanted in the case of financing terrorism
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] Security forces have put on the wanted list a native of Nazran who left for Syria eight years ago. According to investigators, she joined a terrorist organization and collected money for its needs.

A native of Nazran is suspected of facilitating terrorist activities (Part 4 of Article 205.1 of the Criminal Code of Russia), the Russian Investigative Committee for Ingushetia reported today.

According to the investigation, in 2016 the suspect left for Syria, where she voluntarily joined the ranks of an international terrorist organization. At the same time, she “collected funds, which were subsequently used for the needs of an international terrorist organization,” says a statement on the department’s website. 
An ISIS wife?
The investigation emphasized that the suspect remains in Syria and is wanted.

The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that the military court of appeal upheld the sentence of Ingushetia resident Timur Khamkhoev, who was sentenced to nine years in prison in the case of financing Syrian militants.

Mossad: Iran-backed criminal networks behind attacks on Israeli embassies in Europe
[IsraelTimes] Swedish intelligence agency confirms that Tehran is using local organizations — including the Foxtrot and Rumba crime rings — to attack Israeli and Jewish targets

Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
is behind a string of terror attacks by criminal networks on Israeli embassies in Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
since October 7, the Mossad intelligence agency said in a rare statement on Thursday.

Sweden’s Säpo security service confirmed the report in a presser later in the day, saying that Iran has been for several years carrying out activities inside the country that threaten security. There is a significant risk that Iran will strike targets in Sweden again, according to Daniel Stenling, head of Säpo counterintelligence.

The Israeli spy agency opened up an investigation alongside European counterparts after an bomb, said to be a hand grenade, was found inside the grounds of the Israeli Embassy in Stockholm in January and destroyed by the Swedish national bomb squad.

After interrogating the suspects and examining forensic evidence, the Sherlocks concluded that the Foxtrot organized crime ring in Sweden was behind the attack, at Iran’s behest, according to the Mossad.

Foxtrot leader Rawa Majid — known as "the Kurdish Fox" — has been working with Iran for months, Israel alleged. He was recruited by Iranian agents after he fled to Iran from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
in September of last year, pursued by international law enforcement and Iraqi security forces. He was arrested by Iran and recruited to plan a string of attacks in Europe against Jewish and Israeli targets, according to the Mossad.

There have been dozens of Iran-backed terror plots against Jewish and Israeli targets uncovered in recent months, said the Israeli agency, many of which use small-time Mister Big networks.

On May 17, Swedish police heard gunshots late at night near the Israeli embassy. They detained a 14-year-old boy in connection to the shooting and made known that the Israeli embassy was the target. That shooting was carried out by the Rumba crime group, said the Mossad, headed by Majid’s rival Ismail Abdo and also directed by Iran.

"Iran operates many criminal organizations in Sweden and Europe in general, while taking advantage of the relative advantage of each and sometimes the rivalry between them," said the Israeli statement.

Foxtrot and Rumba receive funding and direction directly from Iran, the Mossad alleged, and are closely monitored by European intelligence. The spy agency also accused Iran of trying to take advantage of rising antisemitism in Europe while avoiding direct responsibility for attacks.

"Iran has previously used violence in other countries in Europe with the aim of silencing critical voices and perceived threats to its own regime," said a statement released by Säpo. "To carry out these security-threatening activities, the Iranian regime has on occasion made use of criminal networks."

Säpo, the Swedish agency, said in its statement: "The security police can confirm that this also happens in Sweden. In Sweden, the Security Police has in recent years dealt with several concrete cases where liquidation plans linked to Iranian security services were averted, where, among other things, criminal networks were used as proxies."

"Sweden must not be a platform for the security-threatening activities of Iran or other states," warned the agency.

Swedish police have strengthened security measures to protect Israeli and Jewish sites in Sweden, said Hampus Nygårds, deputy chief of the Swedish police’s National Operations Department.

A Mossad official said that previous travel warnings to Europe remain unchanged.

"Countermeasures continue all the time wherever necessary," the official continued.

The Mossad said that Iranian-backed criminals were also behind last week’s attack on Israel’s embassy in Belgium in which two airsoft grenades were thrown.

The statement did not mention the armed man who set fire to a synagogue in the northern French city of Rouen earlier this month and was later killed by police. With the Gay Paree Olympics two months away — and the war in 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 Hamas with 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...
likely to continue beyond the summer — French security services are on high alert for possible terror attacks.

India-Pakistan
FIA Cyber Crime Wing to probe Imran Khan's controversial X post
[GEO.TV] The Federal Investigation Agency's (FIA) Cyber Crime Wing (CCW) has decided to initiate action against 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) founder Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree...
due to his controversial social media post on X.

A post on X, formerly Twitter, was attributed to the former prime minister, which read: "Every Pak should study the Hamood ur Rahman Commission Report and get to know who was the true traitor, General Yahya Khan or Sheikh Mujibur Rahman."
Referring to the Bangla war for independence. The Banglas won, depite the Jamaat-e-Islami fifth column and massacres by the Pak army that make Gaza look like a mild discussion
However,
death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate...
PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar told a local media outlet later that the post had nothing to do with Imran as he did not see the text of the posts that were uploaded to his account.

"Imran Khan has nothing to do with this [post] because he did not see its content or other things. [The PTI founder] does not approve each and every video or context."

Gohar also defended the tweet and said it was taken out of context.

"The context and comparison that we drew with 1971 was in a political context and not otherwise — nothing about the army," the PTI leader said.

The post on PTI supremo's account drew severe criticism from all quarters, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who said Imran's true face was finally in front of the nation.

But defending the post, PTI — the former ruling party — in a post on the same platform said that the events of 1971 were referred to only as a reminder so people can learn from history as it slammed the criticism.

Channel 14 report asserts being left-wing increased likelihood of being killed on Oct. 7
[IsraelTimes] Outrage as pro-Netanyahu network asks if right-wing towns’ security teams were more effective at saving residents while examining ‘research’ on ‘Does political stance save lives?’

Channel 14 provoked outrage on Wednesday when it aired a segment that examined the alleged relationship between political outlook and victims of the devastating October 7 attack, including a chart that indicated left-wingers were ten times more likely to be killed or kidnapped.

Hosts Shimon Riklin and Erel Segal presented the segment on the right-wing, pro-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu channel, under the caption: "Does political stance save lives?"

They interviewed researcher Liad Levi about his examination of the devastating onslaught led by Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
, in which some 1,200 people were killed and 252 seized as hostages, in relation to how the victims voted.

Levi said he examined the voting patterns of 40 communities situated within 10 kilometers of 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 Hamas with 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...
and found a ratio of two left-leaning communities (defined by 70% or more of the votes going to left-wing parties) for every right-wing one. He didn’t specify which parties were categorized as left wing.

Based on those figures, Levi drew up a chart of the number of killed or kidnapped on October 7, concluding that one in 35 residents of communities that voted "left" were killed or kidnapped, compared to only one in 335 residents of communities that voted "right." The figures, he said, showed there were ten times as many left-wing victims as right-wing ones.

"The question of the research was, Did one’s political outlook in the Envelope [i.e., the Gaza border towns] save you, or cause you damage, or give you an advantage in the October 7 attack," said Riklin.

"The mass of those killed... sits in what seems to be communities that voted left," responded Levi.

The distance of the various communities from the Gaza border had no effect on this, he claimed.

Levi also said that in right-leaning communities where only a few people were killed, those deaths came while fighting the terrorists, asserting that "the numbers also pointed to the ’quality of the death,’ how terrible the deaths were."

Later in the same segment, those in the studio discussed if political leanings may have affected the effectiveness of the security squads in the communities that were attacked, or influenced the "understanding of the enemy" in the communities.

The Hostages and Families forum said in a response it was "expressing shock at the report tonight on Channel 14. This is a manipulative, divisive
...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled...
, false, and blood-letting report."

"The attempt to present the citizens of Israel who were massacred, murdered, and kidnapped in the October disaster as based on political affiliation is a wrongful act that harms the foundation of our national resilience, the families of the murdered and the fallen, and national solidarity vis-à-vis the hostages," the forum said in a statement.

Reporter Nadav Eyal noted on X that "geography, the Hamas plan, the IDF’s response, and a thousand other parameters are critical" factors in the outcome of the terror attack. He said it should be obvious that the research is "poor, cheap, bad."

Following the criticism, Segal defended the item, writing on X "it is not a poll or research by Channel 14. We interviewed Dr. Liad Levi, a physicist, who did research and found clear statistical data that demands review in order to learn for next time. The future."

"Anyone who watched or will watch the item will see... that it was taken out of context," he wrote.

On the morning of October 7, Hamas led some 3,000 forces of Evil who burst through the border with Gaza and rampaged through southern Israel. They overran communities in the border area as local security teams made up of residents fought back despite being massively outnumbered. Many security squad members were killed in the fighting.

Channel 14’s fervent backing for Netanyahu and his government has led some to term the station’s content "propaganda."

The conservative network, owned by Israeli-Russian billionaire Yitzhak Mirilashvili and sometimes likened to the US’s Fox News, has been embroiled in previous controversies.

In August 2023, an anchor drew fire for showing sympathy toward Yigal Amir, the jugged
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
assassin of former prime minister Yitzhak Rabin. A month earlier, a panelist on the network called for Amir’s release from prison.

Channel 14 was founded as Channel 20 in 2014, winning a government tender to establish a "Jewish Heritage Channel." It was barred from airing any news broadcasts and was fined multiple times for repeatedly breaking that rule. In 2016 it was granted the right to air 90 minutes a day of news but continued to violate its bylaws by regularly exceeding the limit.

#1  The Left lives in make believe land - as long as the Palestinians have jobs and work permits, of course they wont suicide bomb, stab and or kill you. That was the official message from the State Department to the jews for the last decade.

I also think the increase in soy and estrogen levels in left was a major contributor to this stat.

#2  You know how they say the odds of a shark attack are lower than being struck by lightning? That's a statistical lie. The average American comes within rifle range of tens or hundreds of thousands of random strangers a year, but only a handful are killed by rifle bullets fired by strangers. Whereas the average American doesn't even come with range of a single shark per year. But we get the same handful of shark attack fatalities.

Point being - so long as armed Palestinians were out of range, attacks on Israelis were minimal. But continued safety depended on si vis pacem, para bellum. Left wing Israelis dropped the ball in terms of being physically and psychologically prepared for the deluge, paid the price.

Jailed Nukhba terrorists regularly sexually harass female guards, soldier says
[IsraelTimes] A female reserve soldier details lax security at terrorist detention facility and sexual harassment she has experienced

Nukhba holy warriors who participated in Hamas
..always the voice of sweet reason...
’s October 7 attack on Israel are being guarded by female soldiers who are subjected to regular sexual harassment by prisoners, a reserve soldier told Channel 13 on Sunday.

Identified by the news channel only by her Hebrew initial Mem, the reserve soldier said she served in a combat position during her military service and was assigned to guard the Nukhba holy warriors when she was called up for reserve duty on October 7.

Shortly after being called up, Mem was assigned to be a guard in the Sde Teiman facility, where 1,000 of the most dangerous holy warriors are being held.

Mem told Channel 13 that every female guard at the facility has been subjected to some form of sexual harassment, from the holy warriors blowing kisses at them to suggestive comments to spitting on the floor when they hear women speak.

She added that during her years of serving in the army and in reserve duty, she went through a lot of difficult experiences, but that she especially feels bad for "18-year-old girls who have to start their military service like this."

Meanwhile,
...back at the pie fight, Bella went down under the weight of the custard...
a photo obtained by Channel 13 from the facility showed that female soldiers are expected to stand next to the holy warriors while guarding them, and Mem added that the most dangerous part of the complex is the field hospital that was set up for the terrorists, where there is little security.

She described an incident where one of the male nurses at the hospital accused her of pointing her gun at him.

"I said to him, ’I’m not aiming my gun at you, I’m aiming at them. I’m supposed to be on guard,'" Mem said, but two hours later, her commander messaged her forbidding her from aiming her gun at the terrorists.

While the holy warriors are being treated in the hospital, their handcuffs are removed and the female guards have to keep watch on them in close proximity.

"There are a few seconds each time when they can do anything to us," Mem said.

Mem was on guard duty when she heard a female soldier in the hospital shouting, so she went to see if she could help. When she got there, a terrorist had pulled down his underwear and started to pleasure himself while looking the two women in the eyes and smiling. Mem said she ordered him to stop but he ignored her.

"He shocked me, I froze. I could see it in his eyes that he really enjoyed humiliating us," she said.

She reported the incident, she said, and was told that it would be handled but no investigation was started and there were no consequences. When she requested again that something be done about it, she was told to leave the situation as is.

"[My commander] said to me, ’Listen, just keep this between us,'" she said.

"They turned me, a combat soldier, into the smallest person in the world."

Responding to a request for comment, the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit told Channel 13 that "the incident was reported to the commanders at the facility, and a complaint was filed to Israel Police against the terrorists. Every report is looked into and dealt with accordingly. The IDF does everything to ensure the safety of its soldiers."

However,
the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits...
Channel 13 noted that it had checked police records and found no complaint against the terrorist.

Hamas’s commando Nukhba Force led the October 7 attack on Israel in which holy warriors murdered some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapped 252. Confessions from holy warriors interrogated by the IDF as well as testimonies from survivors and organizations that dealt with the bodies attest to widespread sexual abuse by the holy warriors during the attack.

Testimonies from some of the 105 hostages released during a weeklong truce in November also indicate that sexual abuse is being used against those in captivity.

Since October 7, more than 4,000 arrests have been made of suspected terrorists. While some were arrested in Israel in the days following the attack, the vast majority were apprehended in 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 Hamas with 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...
