[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] In a video taken on Horcas Coloradas beach on Sunday in Melilla, Spain,
…actually on shore of North Africa next to Morocco…
a small motorboat said to be carrying four African migrants - including a girl - can be seen being pursued by a border vessel.
After refusing to comply with warnings from the Royal Marine Gendarmerie patrol to stop, the Spanish Civil Guard motorboat veers to the right, driving over the top of the dinghy.
It causes the migrants' boat to capsize, throwing at least one person into the sea. The Government Delegation in Melilla - a Spanish enclave of Melilla in northern Morocco - has since confirmed no one was injured, RTVE Noticias reports.
Local reports suggest the migrants were attempting to travel from Morocco to Melilla.
A Moroccan NGO has already requested an investigation, while the Melilla government delegation maintained the Civil Guard carried out a 'normal procedure' to prevent the arrival of migrants to the coast.
It comes after dozens of sunbathing tourists watched in shock as 20 suspected migrants disembarked from a dinghy onto a packed beach in the Spanish islands earlier this month.
The vessel pulled into the cove and stopped on the shoreline in Cala Gran Santanyí, Mallorca, Spain, on Tuesday around 6pm. Video shared on social media shows how roughly 20 people - mostly young men - got off the boat and dodged beach towels as they walked in single file across the sand.
The Ministry of the Interior for Spain has also decided not to launch an internal investigation into the boating incident, Public report, which has been widely criticised by left-wing political parties EH Bildu and Sumar.
“Spain is so mean to those poor, innocent migrants!” Except that’s not what’s going on at all. To relieve the pressure of accumulated migrants — or sometimes to punish Spain for not recognizing Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara — Morocco regularly releases hundreds or thousands of migrants at the fenced border of the Melilla enclave. Their job is to break down the fence, or pop around the border line in the Mediterranean in small boats, hide until the authorities give up, then take the ferry from Melilla to mainland Europe. This has been going on for years, and may one day achieve Morocco’s ultimate goal of making this little Spanish colony on the North African coast unsustainable.

[GEOTV] Bangladesh's caretaker government revoked a ban on the country's main, Jamaat-e-Islami ...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores... party and its affiliated groups on Wednesday, saying it has not found evidence of their involvement in "terrorist activities".
Former 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... 's government had banned its rival political party under an anti-terrorism law, blaming it for stoking deadly violence during student-led protests that turned into an uprising against Hasina, forcing her to resign and flee to India on August 5.
A gazette notification on Wednesday by the caretaker government that replaced Hasina's administration said there was "no specific evidence of involvement of Jamaat" and its affiliates "in terrorist activities".
The party has denied allegations that it stoked violence and had condemned the ban as "illegal, extrajudicial and unconstitutional."
Jamaat-e-Islami has not been able to contest elections of 2014, 2018 and 2024 in Bangladesh after a court said in 2013 its registration as a political party conflicted with Bangladesh's secular constitution.
Shishir Monir, a lawyer for the party, said it will file a petition early next week at the Supreme Court to seek restoration of its registration.

[Regnum] Those detained for preparing an attack on a church in Sunzha, Ingushetia, and sabotage against law enforcement agencies are supporters of the terrorist group ISIS (an organization whose activities are banned in Russia). Good to know.
“They are followers of ISIS,” Gazeta.Ru reports a source in law enforcement agencies as saying.
Representatives of the Russian Investigative Committee reported that the suspects had been arrested and a criminal case had been opened.
On August 28, the FSB reported the arrest of six people in Ingushetia who intended to commit a series of terrorist attacks in the region against religious sites and law enforcement officers. They were found to be in possession of a homemade bomb and components for it, firearms and bladed weapons, symbols of a terrorist organization, as well as electronic information carriers with instructions on how to conduct combat operations and make explosive and incendiary devices.
Earlier, Secretary of the Russian Security Council Sergei Shoigu stated that the situation in the North Caucasus remains difficult, and the region continues to see a trend of increasing extremist and terrorist crimes.
[GEOTV] Swedish prosecutors said on Wednesday they would put two men on trial for desecrating the Holy Koran in a series of incidents last year that prompted outrage in the Moslem world and raised fears of attacks.
The two men committed "offences of agitation against an ethnic or national group" on four separate occasions when desecrating the Holy Koran outside a mosque and in other public places, the Swedish Prosecution Authority said in a statement.
Sweden's domestic security service raised its terrorism alert level as a result of the burnings, while neighbouring Denmark, which also saw the similar incidents, tightened its legislation to outlaw the practice.
"Both men are prosecuted for having on these four occasions made statements and treated the Koran in a manner intended to express contempt for Moslems because of their faith," Senior Prosecutor Anna Hankkio said in a statement.
Evidence against the two men, named as Salwan Momika and Salwan Najem, consisted largely of video recordings, Hankkio said.
Najem denied any wrongdoing, his lawyer, Mark Safaryan, told Rooters on Wednesday.
"The permit granted in connection with the demonstration is covered by my client's intent. His rights are protected by the Swedish constitution," Safaryan said.
The lawyer for Momika did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

"Both men are prosecuted for having on these four occasions made statements and treated the Quran in a manner intended to express contempt for Muslims because of their faith," Senior Prosecutor Anna Hankkio said in a statement".
In plain English, they are being prosecuted for statements and treatment of a BOOK that they videotaped!
They didn't assault or mistreat a person, or damage private property, they videotaped comments about the contents of a book that was their property, and mishandled it in some way. And for that they are being prosecuted to avoid civil unrest by Muslims who revere the book and it's contents. When you can intimidate a government by fear of your violent behavior cloaked under the guise of religion, you have already defeated them!

Taha went on to say that the international community must thwart the inhumane actions of the Israeli occupiers, especially their attempt to prevent the plan to start vaccinating about 640,000 children under the age of 10 as well as 50 children born after October 7, 2023.

Members of the military's Yahalom engineering unit worked with soldiers in the Jerusalem brigade to locate, probe and wreck the tunnel, the military said, sharing footage claiming to show its destruction.
The tunnel is among hundreds of pieces of military infrastructure destroyed in recent weeks, the Israeli army claimed.
“Billions of dollars of classical construction destroyed by the genocidal Philistines of the Israeli army for no reason at all!” lamented the members of the international news media in photogenically picturesque attitudes, rending their garments and tearing their hair in their distress.
[BBC] At least 10 Paleostinians have been killed in a major operation by Israeli forces in the north of the occupied West Bank, the Paleostinian health ministry says.
Israeli security forces said they had begun "a counterterrorism operation" in Jenin and Tulkarm overnight and that they had so far killed "five armed forces of Evil from the air and ground".
It also said another four were killed in an air strike during a simultaneous operation in al-Faraa refugee camp near Tubas. A further death was reported west of Jenin.
Local journalists said they had not seen anything of this scope and scale in the West Bank since the days of the second Paleostinian intifada, or uprising, two decades ago.
