[Dhaka Tribune] The general holiday on August 15, observed as National Mourning Day, would be cancelled, according to sources within the Ministry of Public Administration.
Officials from the ministry on Tuesday confirmed that a notification regarding the cancellation has been prepared.
The notification is expected to be issued as soon as instructions from bigwigs are received, potentially as early as Tuesday.
If not issued by then, it is expected to be released the following day.
Earlier on Tuesday, Home Affairs Advisor to the interim government Brigadier General (retd) M Sakhawat Hossain said: "We will discuss the August 15 holiday this afternoon, and a decision will be made accordingly."
He further said: "A significant number of police will be deployed on August 15 to maintain order. We will ensure that no one causes any disruption. Security measures will be comprehensive, with the police, BGB, RAB, and possibly the army, all present."
[Dhaka Tribune] The month of mourning begins on Thursday commemorating the liquidation of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of his family members on August 15, 1975.
The August 15 carnage is the ugliest chapter of the nation's history as the self-confessed killers not only assassinated the nation's founding father but also killed 16 other members of his family, friends and relatives.
The nation observes with a heavy heart the month of August as the month of mourning to recall the barbaric killing on 1975's 15 August.
The August 15 carnage deaders included Bangabandhu's wife Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib, his sons Sheikh Kamal, Sheikh Jamal and Sheikh Russell, daughters-in-law Sultana Kamal and Rosy Jamal, Bangabandhu's brother Sheikh Naser, brother-in-law Abdur Rab Serniabat, nephew and youth leader Sheikh Fazlul Huq Moni, Moni's pregnant wife Arzoo Moni and Bangabandhu's military secretary Colonel Jamil.
Bangabandhu's two daughters - incumbent Prime Minister the loathesome Sheikh Hasina
...Bangla dynastic politician and now exiled former Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She was President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide. She and the head of the BNP, Khaleda Zia showed such blind animosity toward each other that they are known as the Battling Begums. That is probably because Khaleda's late husband was the Pak tool who had Mujib assassinated...
and Sheikh Rehana - escaped the planned liquidation as they were visiting Germany at that time.
With the killing of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman a pall of gloom descended and a sense of deep sadness spread among the people in the country and across the globe.

Hindus in Bangladesh are enduring ethnic cleansing and genocide at the hands of Muslim Brotherhood-backed mobs. Where’s the UN? Why is the ICC silent? Has the Security Council even noticed? Why is the world fixated on Gaza while Hindu women are raped and temples are destroyed?…
[Breitbart] Mexican federal prosecutors announced that they had begun a treason investigation against various individuals who played a role in the controversial U.S. arrest of top Sinaloa Cartel Boss Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada. According to the cartel boss, the arrest came after individuals with the Chapitos faction of the cartel kidnapped him and turned him over to U.S. authorities at an airport near El Paso.
In a prepared statement, Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office announced an investigation into the charges related to treason against the nation, illegal flights, illegal use of flight facilities, kidnapping, and immigration violations.
The investigation comes after several differing versions emerged following the surprise arrest. As Breitbart Texas initially reported, on July 25, a plane landed in a private airport in New Mexico with Zambada and Joaquin Guzman Lopez, the son of El Mayo’s longtime associate El Chapo. The arrest caused much discontent in Mexico, where Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said the following day that his government had not played any role in the incident. The president demanded a full investigation to learn if the U.S. government had violated his country’s illusory sovereignty during the arrest.
A bombshell report by Mexican journalist Juan Cedillo and British journalist Ioan Grillo revealed that Guzman Lopez and others had lured Zambada to a meeting, killed his bodyguards, kidnapped him, and taken him to the U.S. by force as part of an agreement with prosecutors, Breitbart Texas reported. The report also named a Mexican politician who had played a role in brokering the meeting and who has since been murdered.

[Regnum] In 2024, 110 terrorist attacks were prevented in Russia, said the director of the Federal Security Service (FSB) Alexander Bortnikov.
“Since the beginning of the year, 110 terrorist attacks have been prevented, in the preparation of which citizens recruited by the enemy participated,” the National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC) quoted Bortnikov as saying.
At the same time, according to the FSB director, more than 1,050 people were detained for preparing and committing terrorist crimes, justifying and promoting terrorism, financing terrorists and providing them with assistance.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on August 9, Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed aspects of the fight against terrorism at a meeting with permanent members of the Russian Security Council. After that, the FSB director made a report.
On April 24, the Russian Security Council held the 12th International Meeting of High Representatives in charge of security issues in St. Petersburg. Addressing its participants, Putin called terrorism one of the most serious threats of the 21st century.
The President stated that terrorist attacks are often carried out not only by radical groups, but also by the special services of some countries. Using terrorists, they try to destabilize the situation in countries and incite interethnic and interreligious strife.
Since the beginning of 2024, 45 cells of international terrorist organizations (ITOs) have been identified in Russia that recruited residents of the North Caucasus and migrants from Central Asia. This was reported on August 13 by the National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC).
“The coordinated actions of security forces have stopped the activities of forty-five covert MTO cells this year,” the NAC reported.
At the same time, the committee clarified that at the moment, threats from the ITO remain, whose emissaries are trying to introduce ideas of non-traditional Islamic movements in the Russian Federation, and are also searching for terrorist acts and armed attacks among residents of the North Caucasus and migrants from Central Asia.
[FoxNews] University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill may see more anti-Israel protests in new school year
Anti-Israel agitators at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill are vowing resistance "by any means necessary" as the 2024-2025 school year officially begins on Aug. 18.
An unofficial anti-Israel student group called UNC Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), representing Chapel Hill, posted a commitment to "resist by any means necessary" and said it condones "all forms of principled action" in a July 31 Instagram post.
The group, which has received funding from Hamas-linked groups, according to research from the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy, is responding to the arrest of some 40 agitators on campus in May, when they set up an encampment on the school's quad to protest the Israel-Gaza war.
"We will not be silenced. We will not be intimidated," SJP wrote in an Instagram post on their account with more than 14,000 followers. "A group of the defendants has released these points of unity to express their commitment to collective defense, fighting as a unified bloc for ALL their charges to be dropped while not losing sight of the ultimate goal of Palestinian liberation."
Irina Tsukerman, fellow at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and the Arabian Peninsula Institute and also president of Scarab Rising, Inc., a security and geopolitical risk strategic advisory firm, told Fox News Digital that SJP is a national organization with local chapters, and while some of the group's followers may be on college campuses, they also have supporters who are not college students and some who are not even U.S. citizens.
"They do an outstanding job of portraying themselves as voices for Palestinians, whereas they are actually voices for Hamas," Tsukerman said. "I think many people follow without really knowing them or their agenda. … Also, the people who follow SJP get sucked into believing it's an actual human-rights effort … it's people who are born activists, and not all of these people are even U.S. citizens."

[GEO.TV] A Muslim advocacy group filed a lawsuit on Monday against the FBI and leaders of other US government agencies over what it called the discriminatory and racist placement of two Palestinian Americans on a watch list.
The lawsuit is related to the placement of one Palestinian American — Mustafa Zeidan — on the US government "no-fly list" and the seizure of an electronic device of another Palestinian American — Osama Abu Irshaid — while federal agents interrogated him about his organising against Israel's war in Gaza, the Council on American-Islamic Relations said.
Irshaid, who is the executive director of an organisation called American Muslims for Palestine, travelled to Qatar from the US in late May and returned in early June, according to the lawsuit, which alleged that he was forced to undergo extra screening and questioning while having his phone seized. The phone has not been returned, it added.
"CAIR is challenging the mistreatment of these Palestinian American activists on constitutional grounds," the group said.
[YNet] Nearly 20 years ago, a conversation took place between Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz that outlined a plan for deploying 750 Egyptian police officers along the Philadelphi Corridor within months to prevent arms smuggling.
The plan also included coordination between Egyptian and Israeli battalion and brigade commanders to thwart smuggling activities. However, this discussion did not occur recently or during the current war in Gaza but rather in March 2005, as part of the preparations for Israel's disengagement plan, which was implemented later that summer.
...An Israeli military source told The Washington Post in June that an estimated 20 tunnels in the area remain undetected. The source emphasized that before any IDF operation, contact is made with Egypt to coordinate activities. Just a few days ago, the IDF released footage of a 10-foot-high tunnel capable of accommodating large vehicles, which was discovered last week along the route.
Despite this, Egyptian officials continue to deny the existence of such tunnels. An Egyptian source recently denied "Israeli media reports about tunnels between Egypt and Gaza," describing them as "an Israeli attempt to escape the failure in Gaza." The source added, "Israel's failure to make progress in Gaza leads it to publish claims about the existence of tunnels to justify the continued attacks in the Strip."
The things people tend to forget is our system of morality is based on judging actions as right and wrong. Arabs' is based on relatedness: any conflict between brother & cousin, the brother is right. Any conflict between Muslim and non-Muslim - the Muslim is right. Any promises given are taquia.

[GEO.TV] US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body.... ’s administration on Tuesday approved more than $20 billion in new weapons sales to Israel, brushing aside pressure from rights activists to stop arms deliveries over the corpse count 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... lThe sale comes as Biden has pressed Israel and Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... to reach a ceasefire after 10 months of bloodshed, although the weapons would take years to reach Israel.
In a notification to Congress, the State Department said it had approved a sale of 50 F-15 fighter jets to Israel for $18.82 billion.
Israel will also buy nearly 33,000 tank cartridges, up to 50,000 explosive mortar cartridges and new military cargo vehicles.
The F-15 aircraft, which will begin to be delivered in 2029, will upgrade Israel's current fleet and include radar and secure communications equipment.
"The United States is committed to the security of Israel, and it is vital to US national interests to assist Israel to develop and maintain a strong and ready self-defense capability," the State Department said in its notice on the F-15s, which are made by Boeing.

It is a grave sin to offer a sacrifice near the location of the Temple while in a state of ritual impurity (since the Temple no longer exists, prayer has replaced sacrifice). Almost all Jews are ritually impure by virtue of being near dead bodies without being cleansed by ashes of the red heifer.

Massive cyber-attack on Iran's major banks A massive cyber attack has hit major banks in Iran, including the Central Bank of Iran, London-based Iranian opposition-affiliated Iran International reported on Wednesday
The attack significantly disrupted the financial activities in the country and it is still unclear if the Iranians have managed to overcome it. It caused most ATMs to stop working, not only in Tehran but in various other cities as well.
According to the report, this is one of the largest cyber attacks against Iranian infrastructure ever.
According to foreign reports, Israel has carried out cyber attacks against Iranian infrastructure in the past, including train stations and gas stations.

To develop your own nuke, as opposed to buying one from Pakistain, you need to test it. Underground testing is hidden from prying eyes, but is going to register on someone's seismograph. IIRC, when Kursk (the submarine, not the battle) sank and hit the sea floor, it tickled seismographs in the nearby Scandinavia.
Given that Iran has been weeks/months/years away from having the bomb for gawd knows how long, seismic data might be the first indication that the game is finally on. That might be the ideal time for some preemptive 'pruning'.
Assuming the IDF does not simply drive up in a U-Haul and steal it.
