Bangladesh
Court slaps travel ban on 14 ex-ministers, lawmakers
[NEWAGEBD] The Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Court on Thursday imposed an international travel ban on 14 former ministers and politicians of the ousted Awami League government in connection with allegations of amassing illegal wealth.

Judge Mohammed Ash Shams Joglul Hossain passed the order following a petition submitted by Anti-Corruption Commission deputy director Abu Hena Ashiqur Rahman, said ACC public prosecutor Mahamud Hossain Jahangir.

'Following the order, they cannot leave the country unless the restriction is lifted, he added.

The graft suspects are trying to flee the country, the ACC in its petition said, adding that travel bans are needed to prevent them from leaving the country for the sake of a fair probe.

Former health minister Zahid Maleque, former social welfare minister Dipu Moni, former education minister Mohibul Hassan Chowdhoury, former food minister Sadhan Chandra Majumder, former industries minister Narul Majid Mahmud Humayun, former state minister for industries Kamal Ahmed Mojumder, former shipping minister Shajahan Khan, former food minister Kamrul Islam, former politicians Mohammad Salim Uddin (Nogaon-3), Mamunur Rashid Kiron (Noakhali-3), Kujendra Lal Tripura (Khagrachari), Kazim uddin Ahmed (Mymensing-11), Noor E Alam Chowdhury (Madaripur-1), and Ziaur Rahman (Chapainawabganj-2).

ACC officials said that there were various corruption allegations against the 14 former ministers and politicians, including amassing illegal wealth and money laundering charges.

The Anti-Corruption Commission, meanwhile, on Thursday decided to conduct inquiries against a minister and a politician of the ousted Awami League government over allegations of amassing illegal wealth.

They are former railway minister Zillul Hakim and former politician Tanveer Imam [Sirajganj-4].

The decision was taken in a meeting of the ACC at its office, said ACC deputy director for public relations Aktarul Islam.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
New defendants have emerged in the case of the terrorist attack at Crocus
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] The Basmanny District Court of Moscow has extended the preventive measure for five new defendants in the case of the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall concert hall in the Moscow region, the court's press service reported on August 29.

“The detention period of Sh. N. Gadoev, Z. A. Ismoilov, M. A. Soliev, U. A. Soliev, and Kh. A. Khamidov (included in the list of terrorists and extremists) has been extended until December 1, 2024,” the press service reported.

Previously, 12 defendants in the criminal case were arrested.

The four alleged direct perpetrators were charged under the articles “Committing a terrorist act resulting in death as part of an organized group,” “Participation in a terrorist organization,” “Undergoing training for the purpose of carrying out terrorist activity,” and “Illegal arms trafficking as part of an organized group.”

The rest are accused of aiding and abetting the crime.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on August 23, five defendants in the case of the terrorist attack in Crocus appealed the extension of their arrest until November 22.

Terrorists attacked Crocus City Hall on March 22. They broke into the building and started shooting at people, then set fire to the auditorium. As a result of the terrorist attack, 144 people died, including six children. In addition, more than 500 people were injured.

Four people suspected of directly carrying out the attack were detained on March 23 in the Bryansk region. They were driving a car towards the border with Ukraine. Russian authorities said that the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall had Ukrainian roots.

One of the new defendants in the Crocus terrorist attack case served in the Russian army

One of the five new defendants in the case of the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall, Khusein Khamidov, is a Russian citizen who served in the Russian army several years ago. According to his twin brother, they went to serve immediately after they turned 18. Relatives also put forward their own version of how Khusein could have been involved in the terrorist attack.

On August 29, the Basmanny District Court of Moscow extended the preventive measure for five defendants in the case of the terrorist attack in Crocus, whose names had not previously been disclosed. They were Gadoev Shakhromdzhon, Ismailov Zubaydullo, Soliev Mustakim, Soliev Umedzhon and Khamidov Khusein. The Regnum news agency managed to find the family of one of the defendants and find out how their relative lived before he was among those accused of the terrorist attack.

Khusein Khamidov's family moved from Dushanbe to Yekaterinburg more than 10 years ago. In 2014, they became Russian citizens.

"After we became citizens of Russia, my brother and I went to serve in the army, served in Vladivostok. Then I went to Moscow, I work and study at JSC Russian Railways to be a track fitter. And my parents and brother stayed to live in Yekaterinburg. Khusein rented an apartment separately from his parents and officially worked as a loader at Ozon," says the accused's twin brother, Hasan.

Khasan Khamidov was shocked by the news of the charges against his brother. According to him, about five months ago, Hussein simply disappeared and stopped communicating.

"Our family does everything according to the law, we have never violated anything and have never done anything bad to anyone. My mother does not work, she takes care of the house, my father does construction. My brother cannot be involved in the terrorist attack. This cannot be, he could never do such a thing," the young man assured.
"Please don't kill us!"
The suspect's brother suggested how Khusein Khamidov could have been involved in the terrorist attack. According to him, Khusein rented an apartment in Yekaterinburg and was experiencing financial difficulties. In connection with this, he found the tenants, who are now defendants in the terrorist attack case, who were detained in Dagestan. Khusein's brother believes that he did not know any details about his neighbors in the apartment. However, he helped them find jobs.

"He helped them get jobs, as a taxi driver, I think. And apparently they were involved in criminal activities, but my brother didn't know that. They lived with him for several months, and then the terrorist attack happened in Crocus," explains Hasan.

Hussein's father, Abdurasul, spoke in detail about the arrest.

"When his flatmates disappeared again, it turned out that they were detained in Dagestan. Then my son was detained and taken to Dagestan. It turned out that money was being withdrawn from his card - money was transferred to his card, and he withdrew it for these tenants. They said that this was money from the family. He also helped them buy SIM cards and helped them create an account to work as a taxi driver," Hussein's father said.

Terrorists attacked Crocus City Hall on March 22. They broke into the building and started shooting at people, then set fire to the auditorium. As a result of the terrorist attack, 144 people died, including six children. In addition, more than 500 people were injured.

Europe
Berlin to deport Islamic center head accused of ties to Hezbollah, Iran
[NAHARNET] Germany is planning to deport the leader of an Islamic center it banned in July over alleged links to bully boy groups, an interior ministry spokeswoman said Thursday.

Investigators swooped on the Hamburg Islamic Center
…alternately in the Rantburg archives as Hamburg Islamic Centre, Islamic Center of Hamburg, and the Blue Mosque. The simple turquoise edifice is the oldest mosque in Germany, having been completed by the Iranian expat community in Hamburg in 1965. After being monitored by Hamburg police for four decades for Iranian tools, they finally closed it down…
five weeks ago after concluding it was an "Islamist bad boy organization" with links to 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...
and Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
's Hezbollah.

Mohammad Mofatteh, 57, the former director of the center, has been ordered to leave Germany within 14 days and faces deportation if he does not comply, the spokeswoman said.

He will not be allowed to re-enter Germany and could face up to three years in prison if he does.

Andy Grote, interior minister for the state of Hamburg, said Mofatteh's deportation was "the next logical step" against the Hamburg Islamic Center.

"As a top religious representative of the inhumane regime in Tehran, his time in Germany has come to an end," he said.

On banning the center in July, Germany's interior ministry accused it of being a "direct representative of Iran's supreme leader" and spreading Tehran's ideology "in an aggressive and bully boy manner."

The ministry also accused the center of backing the "military and political dimension" of organizations like Hezbollah.

Germany considers Hezbollah a "Shiite terrorist organization" and in 2020 banned Hezbollah from carrying out activities on its soil.

Iran reacted angrily to the accusations and last week shut down a German language institute in Tehran in what appeared to be a tit-for-tat move.

The move against Mofatteh comes with deportations high on the political agenda in Germany after a deadly knife attack in the western city of Solingen.

Three people were killed and eight injured in the rampage, allegedly carried out by a Syrian asylum seeker and claimed by the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group.

The attack has reignited a bitter debate about immigration in Germany, with Chancellor Olaf Scholz promising to "do everything we can to ensure that those who cannot and must not stay here in Germany are repatriated and deported."

[NYPOST] Colorado Gov. Jared Polis dismissed anger over Venezuela

...a country in Central America that sits on an enormous pool of oil. Formerly the most prospereous country in the region, it became infested with Commies sniffing almost unlimited wealth. It turned out the wealth wasn't unlimited, the economy collapsed under the clownish Hugo Chavez, the murder rate exceeded places like Honduras and El Salvador. A significant proportion of the populace refugeed to Colombia and points south...

n gang Tren de Aragua taking over apartment buildings in the Denver suburb of Aurora, calling it ''imagination'' — despite video footage, police reports and the city's mayor confirming it's happening.

Polis' press office offered the snarky statement Wednesday night in response to Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky — who told The Post the gang's takeovers are tied to his policies.

''The Governor has already let the Mayor know that the State is ready to support the local police department with assistance from state troopers and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation if needed,'' Shelby Wieman, a spokesperson for the Democratic governor, told The Post.

Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat.

"Abu Shujaa, commander of the Tulkarem Brigade of the al-Quds Brigades," the armed wing of Islamic Jihad, which has a strong presence in the refugee camps in the north of the occupied West Bank, "died along with several brothers of his brigade after a heroic battle against the soldiers of the (Israeli) occupation", the group said in a statement.

Israeli military says killed 5 Palestinian "fighters" on day two of West Bank raids

[GEOTV] The Israeli military said its forces killed five Palestinian "fighters" in the occupied West Bank on Thursday in a second day of operations that have killed 14 in total.

"Following exchanges of fire, the forces eliminated five [fighters] who had hidden inside a mosque" in Tulkarem on Thursday morning, the military said.

On Wednesday, the military said it killed nine "fighters" in simultaneous raids in several West Bank cities and refugee camps.

Israeli military operation in northern West Bank 'may continue for several days,' says army

[GEOTV] Israeli army's ongoing military operation in the northern West Bank ''may continue for several days and possibly longer,'' a military spokesperson told Anadolu on Thursday.

''The operation will continue as long as necessary to achieve its security goals, meaning that we might witness confrontations for several more days and possibly longer if required,'' Ella Waweya said.

Fighting rages in Gaza as Palestinians hope for a pause for polio vaccinations
[GEOTV] Palestinians in Gaza were waiting on Thursday to see if there would be a pause in fighting to allow a polio vaccination campaign to begin, as the conflict raged across the besieged enclave, killing at least 20 people.

The United Nations is preparing to vaccinate an estimated 640,000 children in Gaza, where the World Health Organisation confirmed on August 23 that at least one baby has been paralysed by the type 2 poliovirus, the first such case in the territory in 25 years.

Israeli warplanes raided Thursday the Rihan mountain in the Jezzine District deeper in the south while artillery shelled al-Khiam, Kfarkela, Borj al-Moulouk, Deir Mimas and Tayrharfa.

Also on Thursday, warplanes broke the sound barrier over Beirut and the South.

Hezbollah, for its part, targeted the Zar'it barracks, Kfar Yuval, Dovev and the al-Tayhat Hill in north Israel.

More than 500 people have been killed in Lebanon by Israeli strikes since Oct. 8, most of them fighters with Hezbollah and other gangs but also more than 100 civilians. In northern Israel, 23 soldiers and 26 civilians have been killed. Tens of thousands of people have been displaced on both sides of the tense border.

Israel has vowed to bring quiet to the border to allow its citizens to return to their homes. It says it prefers to resolve the issue diplomatically through U.S. and other mediators but will use force if necessary.

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.

They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
