Here is the history piece. All the rest is gun pr0n, which many of you will appreciate properly, so go read about it at the link, dear Reader.
[AmericanHandgunner] May 5, 1980 was a Monday. Six days prior, half a dozen terrorists representing the Democratic Revolutionary Front for the Liberation of Arabistan
… founded in 1979 as a splinter group of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Ahvaz (PFLA, part of the movement for Arab liberation of the Ahwaz/Ahvaz region of Iran. This lot were apparently Baathists, others among them are Arab Sunni-firsters, probably some are communist of one flavour or another…
had stormed the Iranian embassy at Prince’s Gate in South Kensington, London. Curiously, these six armed men were actually protesting the theocratic regime that had recently seized power in Iran. They were, geopolitically speaking, technically the Good Guys. However, after days of aggressive negotiations that saw the release of five of 26 hostages, tempers grew short. In a fit of anger, the terrorists shot and killed the Iranian cultural attaché, Abbas Lavasani. At that point, the Iron Lady, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, turned operational control of the situation over to the British 22nd Special Air Service.
They called the subsequent symphony of violence Operation Nimrod and it changed everything about modern counterterrorist operations. Where normally, the SAS operates in the shadows, this time, they took down the Iranian embassy in broad daylight before the accumulated television cameras of the world’s press. The building was five stories tall and contained 51 different rooms. Seventeen minutes after the go order, five of the six terrorists were dead, the sixth was in custody, and the entire building was secure. One hostage died during the assault and one SAS man was fairly badly burned. However, the cumulative result was legitimately paradigm-shifting.
In short order, every cop in the world wanted an HK MP-5 submachine gun in the trunk of his squad car and a set of black fatigues hanging in his closet. The otherworldly imagery of the assault burned into the world’s consciousness. The SAS had become the world’s premiere direct-action counterterrorist force.

[KavkazUzel] Today marks a quarter of a century since the attack of Basayev and Khattab's militants on Dagestan. A memorial rally and re-enactment of the events of 1999 took place in the Botlikh District.
As the "Caucasian Knot" reported, in 2019, Vladimir Putin signed a law granting militiamen from Dagestan who fought militants in 1999 the status of combat veterans, the right to monthly payments and material benefits. The list of applicants included about 28,000 people, but only 520 people received certificates, and most of those who actually fought were not included in their number, members of veterans' organizations said in December 2020
On August 7, 1999, more than 1,000 armed fighters led by Shamil Basayev and Jordanian Amir Khattab
... Shamil Salmanovich Basayev, also known by his kunya "Abu Idris" and Emir Abdullah Shamil Abu-Idris (1965-2006). Basayev was a Chechen warlord in the post-Soviet Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, which after his death became the Al Qaeda-linked Caucasus Emirate. In 2015 most of the hard boys changed their allegiance to the local Islamic State affiliate, Vilayat Kavkaz, whereupon a majority chose to escape the Russians hunting them by making hijra to the caliphate in Syria. Some of his projects were the 2004 Beslan school siege and the 2002 Moscow theater hostage crisis...
entered Dagestan from Chechnya. Fighting continued in the republic for more than a month. Only on September 15, 1999, the Minister of Defense announced that Dagestan had been completely liberated, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report " Militant Invasion of Dagestan (1999) ".
A rally dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the militant invasion was held in Botlikh today, the Botlikh District Administration reported on its Telegram channel.
"At the memorial […] they remember the tragic events of those days, their victims and heroes. […] The event is attended by the head of the district, Ruslan Gamzatov, Hero of Russia Dibirgadzhi Magomedov, militiamen, Afghans, SVO participants and local residents," the publication says.
Those who gathered for the memorial rally in Botlikh were shown a re-enactment of events that took place 25 years ago and were "reminded of the history of 1999," RIA Dagestan reports.
Let us recall that even decades later, investigators periodically report the detention of alleged participants in the militant attack on Dagestan. Thus, on November 2, 2022, security forces detained Stavropol residents Eduard Taushev and Temirali Zarakaev, who, according to investigators, participated in the attack. In April 2024, the case was transferred to court.
Cases of participation in the gangs of Basayev and Khattab are similar and often falsified, lawyer Narine Ayrapetyan told the "Caucasian Knot" earlier. "The witnesses are the same everywhere. Five witnesses are usually taken - three secret witnesses and two open ones," she said.
Ayrapetyan emphasized that cases are also fabricated against innocent people. "When people did not participate, but under threat, including torture, other people are forced to testify against them. For example, one of my clients, who is serving a sentence in the Ulyanovsk region, told me that he is being pressured to testify about the events of 1999 against people he did not know before," the lawyer said.

When the Russians attacked the Dagestan rebels in force, the rebels responded by a series of bombing attacks within Russia. In the fighting 10,000 Russian conscripts died and 400,000 Chechens fled and were numbered in neighboring Ingushetia.

[REGNUM] "The situation has already outgrown the scope of the district police department and required the intervention of the army. <…> Troops from the Stavropol and Krasnodar regions and North Ossetia are being transferred to Buinaksk and Makhachkala, and from there by military transport planes to the Tsumadinsky and Botlikhsky districts on the border with Chechnya, where fighting with several groups of Wahhabis has been going on for several days now…".

[Bee] HELL - In a bid to increase torture in the afterlife, managers of Hell confirmed today that Kamala Harris's grating cackle will be played over the loudspeakers in the place of perpetual torment for all eternity.
"Effective immediately, we are no longer playing Limp Bizkit 24/7," said one spokesperson. "We are switching to the Kamala cackle. Studies have shown this is the most effective way to punish people for their sins."
People in hell quickly filed a lawsuit claiming this form of torture is "cruel and unusual," even for people who offended a holy God. The only judge who hears such cases, though, is God, so their appeal was denied.

Kamala's cackle and Hillary's Selma, Alabama 2007 speech "I don't feel no ways tired..." and you have double hell for eternity. Yikes! Better walk the straight and narrow and embrace Jesus.
[YNet] The West has got to revise its thinking. It needs to begin threatening Iran militarily and even to take active measures in that direction, if it wants to change the course of Iran’s modus operandi - its progress toward nuclear capability and its sponsoring of terrorism worldwide.
Ever since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Iran has been transformed. From a friend of Israel, cooperating in a variety of fields and aligned with the United States, Iran has set its sights on exporting its Islamic Revolution and on opening a front against the West. One example of this, is the establishing of the Revolutionary Guards, whose mission is to export the revolution to various countries and its well-known slogan: "The United States is the Great Satan and Israel is the Little Satan."
Concurrent with its support for terrorism, Iran also built a military nuclear program on the foundations of the civilian nuclear program that had been started during the pre-revolution years. While Iran’s first revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini was in charge, the military nuclear program remained mothballed since he believed it was inconsistent with Islam. However, after he died in 1989, the plan was revived despite Iran’s claims that it was not working to achieve nuclear military capability. They insisted their program was purely focused on energy production.
...The Swords of Iron War has put Iran’s support of the various terrorist organizations in the Middle East (Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Shiite militias in Iraq) under the spotlight and on its intention to destroy Israel and eliminate the perceived threat it poses. This goal of theirs was actively pursued in the Iranian attack against Israel on April 13, 2024, in which Iran launched hundreds of UAVs, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles toward Israel. At the same time Iran is continuing with its nuclear program, and the "snapback" deadline (the possibility of reinstating the sanctions against Iran, in the event it is decided that it was violating its part in the deal) approaching.
...For the Iranian regime, the paramount principle is to ensure its own survival. This is the basis for all other matters. The Iranian moves are all played out under a rationale of long-term regime continuity. All its moves are measured against this yardstick. For this reason, the West’s modus operandi should have one aim - to undermine the Iranian regime’s resiliency in such a way as to force it to alter its behavior, withdraw from its nuclear program and discontinue its funding of the Middle Eastern terrorist organizations, which are sowing chaos and evil indiscriminately. The West has got to turn the equation on its head and create an inverse relationship, rather than a direct relationship, between the nuclear program and the regime’s survival.
...For this to happen, the West must realize that the wars of the present day must be fought now and not sometime in the future. Iran and the Shiite Axis must be dealt with firmly, using all force necessary. In the absence of this, the Western powers will be faced with a very different reality - a nuclear Iran, terrorist organizations capable of doing Iran’s bidding, bereft of allies in the Middle East and threatened with Islamic extremism at home. The "western powers" are too busy replacing their native populations - the ones who made them "powers" by 3rd world baboons hopeful. And promoting sexual aberrations.

More stupid “calibrated response “ garbage. If you’re close enough to slap the face, you’re close enough to chop off the head.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
