[Regnum] An explosion occurred near a mosque in the city of Mazar-i-Sharif in the state of Balkh in Afghanistan. This was reported on April 14 by the Etilaatroz publication.
The explosion occurred on April 14 at 8:20 local time (7:20 Moscow time) near the Seh Dukan mosque. The mosque belongs to Shiites.
According to eyewitnesses, a woman was killed and three more people were injured. According to the publication's sources, the explosion was caused by a planted bomb.
On April 21, 2022, an explosion occurred near the Seh Dukan mosque, killing 30 people and injuring 80. The terrorist group Islamic State (IS - a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation) claimed responsibility.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, at the end of March, the Pakistani army eliminated 16 Islamists who were trying to break through the border from Afghanistan. Official Kabul did not confirm this report.
[ISSAFRICA.ORG] The two countries must cooperate to stop Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... from taking advantage of open borders to revive their operations.
On 27 January, the governors of Borno in Nigeria and Cameroon ...a long, narrow country that fills the space between Nigeria and Chad on the northeast, CAR to the southeast. Prior to incursions by Boko Haram nothing ever happened there... 's Far North Region inaugurated a livestock market in Banki, once a major hub of cross-border trade between the two countries. The Amchid -Banki border post, like several others between Cameroon and Nigeria, was closed in 2014 at the height of Boko Haram activity in the region.
In early 2014, the violent mostly peaceful bully boy group had moved to Banki, where it planned attacks on Cameroon. Nigeria closed the border to prevent further incursions. Cameroon closed the Fotokol-Gambaru border crossing after the 2015 Gamboru battle and attacks on other nearby border posts.
As military operations and the region's stabilisation strategy improved security, the Amchid -Banki border was reopened in 2019, followed by the Fotokol-Gambaru crossing in 2021.
Border crossings and sites of Boko Haram activity, Nigeria-Cameroon border
The closures had disrupted the booming cross-border market that sustained the border communities' economy. For most of its neighbours, Nigeria is the region's leading economic and trade partner. Goods from Nigeria pass through Amchid , Limani and Fotokol on their way to Chad, Sudan ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans... and the Central African Republic.
The three towns are therefore important transit centres and warehouses for local traders, creating jobs and revenue through taxes that local authorities can use for development initiatives.
Overall, reopening the borders has contributed to Cameroon's national economy through customs duties. Far North customs data reviewed by the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) revealed that before Boko Haram attacks started in 2013, the most profitable office in the region was Limani, which generated annual revenue of XAF1 114 791 860 (around US$1 900 000). In 2024, after reopening the borders, revenue reached XAF2 201 420 676 (around US$3 800 000). In Fotokol, XAF1 519 630 651 (US$2 600 000) was collected in 2024.
But Boko Haram has not been defeated, and still presents a security threat to both countries. While reopening borders has undoubtedly revitalised the regional economy, it has also benefitted the Death Eaters — allowing them to regroup and target traders and local communities.

[SAHARAREPORTERS] Senator Ali Ndume has expressed concern over the escalating resurgence of Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... terrorism in Borno State, revealing that over 300 lives have been lost in 252 attacks within the last six months.
He warned that the situation is rapidly deteriorating, with three local government areas—Gudumbari, Marche, and Abadam—now entirely under Boko Haram control.
Ndume, who represents Borno South Senatorial District, spoke to journalists in Abuja on Sunday following a high-level security meeting between Governor Babagana Zulum and the nation's military top brass, according to Vanguard.
The delegation included all three Borno senators, a House of Representatives member, and the governor himself.
''We are worried because just from November last year to date, we experienced 252 attacks in Borno State. In this six-month period, over 100 soldiers were killed. Over 200 non-combatants were killed,'' Ndume said.
The senator commended the efforts of the Nigerian military but acknowledged that they are severely overstretched and under-resourced, despite having eliminated over 800 faceless myrmidons within the same period.
He noted that infighting between factions of Boko Haram and 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.... West Africa Province (ISWAP) also resulted in an estimated 500 terrorist deaths.
''The Army is doing their best, but they can't do it without trained and adequate troops," Ndume said.
''If these things are to be addressed, they must be trained, they must be equipped, they must be armed, and they must be motivated. That's what I call TEAM.''

[ABCNEWS.G] A roadside kaboom suspected to have been planted by Islamic turbans in northeastern Nigeria struck a passenger bus, killing eight people and wounding more than a dozen others, authorities said.
The bus was traveling along the Damboa-Maiduguri highway in the conflict-battered Borno state on Saturday when it drove over the bomb, Borno state police front man Nahum Daso said in a statement.
Islamic turbans with the Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... group took up arms in 2009 to fight Western education and impose their radical version of Islamic law. The conflict, Africa's longest struggle with militancy, has spilled into Nigeria's northern neighbors and has left some 35,000 civilians dead and more than 2 million displaced, according to the U.N..
The forces of Evil who once controlled dozens of villages in the region have mostly been pushed to remote forests and the fringes of the Lake Chad. However,
some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go... they still carry out ambushes and rampant attacks on communities where security forces are outnumbered and outgunned.
The latest attack renewed fears among residents and travelers in the state.

[KavkazUzel] Today, the Leninsky District Court of Stavropol sentenced Dagestan residents Bashir Gazimagomedov, Mirzabek Gamzabekov, Saiputdin Gasankhanov, Mikail Misrikhanov and Yusup Shamilov to terms ranging from 8 years to 10 years and 2 months.
As the "Caucasian Knot" reported, the case against these five defendants was brought to court in January. All defendants were charged with participating in mass riots and failure to comply with transport safety requirements at transport infrastructure facilities.
Criminal cases on participation in the riots at Makhachkala airport are being considered by courts in Krasnodar and Stavropol Krais. From August 2024 to March 2025, 84 people were convicted on charges of participation in the riots, they were sentenced to imprisonment for terms ranging from 4.5 to 10.5 years.
"The court, taking into account the position of the state prosecutor, taking into account the nature and degree of public danger of the crimes committed and the role of each, sentenced the defendants to imprisonment for a term of 8 years to 10 years and 2 months, to be served in a general regime penal colony," the prosecutor's office said in a statement, as quoted by TASS.
According to the case file on the court's website, five defendants were found guilty under Part 2 of Article 212 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (participation in mass riots accompanied by violence, pogroms, destruction of property, use of objects posing a danger to others, as well as armed resistance to a government official), Part 3 of Article 263.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (failure to comply with transport safety requirements at transport infrastructure facilities and vehicles, if this act resulted in major damage through negligence, committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy).
According to the investigation, Bashir Gazimagomedov, Mirzabek Gamzabekov, Saiputdin Gasankhanov, Mikail Misrikhanov, Yusup Shamilov took part in mass riots at the Uytash airport based on national and religious hatred and hostility towards Israeli citizens. However, their specific actions are not described in the prosecutor's office release.
It should be noted that earlier today the Mineralnye Vody City Court sentenced four residents of Dagestan to 8 years in prison, recognizing them as participants in the riots at the Makhachkala airport.
Sentences of 8-10 years in prison have become common in the "airport case," noted the chairman of the Dagestan POC, Shamil Khadulaev, in March. "Everything is being done as if from a carbon copy," he told the "Caucasian Knot."
[Jpost] Since October 2023, the Iran-backed, Lebanon-based terror group carried out hundreds of drone attacks against the Jewish State.
Hezbollah's network for acquiring materials to produce drones to attack Israel spans across multiple European countries, French daily Le Figaro reported last week.
Starting in October 2023, the Iran-backed, Lebanon-based terror group carried out hundreds of drone attacks against the Jewish State, with reports from mid-October suggesting it had some 2,000 drones in its arsenal.
According to Le Figaro, three Lebanese individuals arrested in July of 2024 were suspected of buying such materials via Spanish companies they owned.
The components bought in Catalonia, which included electronic guidance systems, propulsion propellers, and hundreds of electric engines, sufficed to make drones capable of transporting several kilos of explosives, the report noted.
Catalonia resident Firas A.H. was suspected of buying "Materials that could be converted into weapons of war that could be used against civilian and military targets in Israel and Europe," the French daily cited the Spanish authorities as saying.
According to Le Figaro, citing Spanish authorities, the network intended "To imminently proceed with the shipment by sea to Lebanon of a massive quantity of essential components for the construction of unmanned aircraft, with the resulting risk to collective security and, in particular, to the safety of Israeli citizens."
In Germany, too, security forces operating in July of last year arrested a suspect, Fadel Z., over his Hezbollah membership.
Most recent crackdowns against the network were carried out in France, the UK, and Spain in early April.
In Spain, the additional operation saw the arrest of three more suspects.
The French General Directorate for Internal Security arrested a suspect who was being investigated over criminal terrorist conspiracy with the aim of preparing acts of terrorism. Concurrently, the UK Metropolitan Police announced it had arrested two suspected Hezbollah members in London over their membership with the terror group and involvement in preparing terrorist attacks.
[NYPOST] Federal prosecutors will not offer a plea deal to the lipstick-wearing suspect accused of Molotov cocktailing a Tesla dealership and local Republican Party office in New Mexico, Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed Monday.
Jamison Wagner was arrested over the weekend and has been charged with two counts of malicious damage or destruction of property by fire or explosives for allegedly carrying out the attacks.
The 40-year-old Albuquerque resident — and member of LGBT group ''500 Queer Scientists'' — faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted of both charges.
''These people thought they could get away with it. They can't,'' Bondi told Fox News host Jesse Watters. ''This is our fifth major arrest on Tesla.
''I have directed my prosecutors not to make any offers. He is going away, if convicted, for 40 years,'' the attorney general declared.
Investigators linked Wagner to both arsons through surveillance footage and ''substantial'' scene of the crime evidence, according to the Justice Department.
The accused arsonist will remain in jug pending a detention hearing, which has not been set.
Wagner allegedly used a glass container containing ''an improvised napalm material'' to set two Teslas ablaze at the electric car company's Albuquerque showroom during the early morning hours of Feb. 9.
Six additional vehicles, as well as the exterior of the dealership, were also spray-painted with the phrases: ''Die Elon,'' ''Tesla Nazi Inc'' and ''Die Tesla Nazi,'' as well as swastika symbols, authorities said.
Wagner targeted the New Mexico Republican Party headquarters the following month, according to authorities.
That attack, which bore several similarities to the Tesla dealership arson, significantly damaged the front door and entry of the building.

[NYPOST] Federal agents cornered a 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 man in a New Hampshire courthouse elevator before tackling him as he tried to flee — and taking down an elderly bystander in the melee, wild security footage shows.
Video released Monday from the Nashua Circuit Court shows two agents throwing 33-year-old Arnuel Marquez Colmenarez down to the floor and handcuffing him just outside an elevator on Feb. 20.
An elderly man with a cane, who also rode the elevator with the agents and Colmenarez, was knocked to the floor during the confrontation. He was seen writhing in pain on his back.
Another older man who was in the elevator with the group tried to speak to the agents while they held Marquez Colmenarez down, the footage shows.
The agents tapped Marquez Colmenarez on the shoulder as he was exiting the elevator. They spoke to him briefly before he tried to escape through the doors, making it just a few feet before the agents pinned him to the ground and barrelled into the man with the cane.
Marquez Colmenarez was appearing in court to face an arraignment on charges for drunken driving, driving without a license and failing to provide information after an accident all filed on Feb. 9, according to Nashua police.
Jared Neff, a court liaison officer for the Hudson Police Department, helped the agents restrain Marquez Colmenarez after overhearing a loud commotion near the elevator.
''There were voices yelling, 'Stop!' and then a loud 'bang,' which sounded like people had fallen on the ground and were actively fighting and struggling,'' he wrote in an incident report.
Neff noted that Marquez Colmenarez was actively resisting arrest.

[NYPOST] An illegal migrant was found guilty of ''viciously'' raping and murdering Maryland mother of five Rachel Morin — after the jury deliberated for less than an hour Monday afternoon, according to reports.
Victor Martinez-Hernandez, 24, was convicted of first-degree murder, first-degree rape, first-degree sexual offense and kidnapping after Morin, 37, was killed along a trail about 30 miles northeast of Baltimore in August 2023.
The guilty verdict came after less than an hour of deliberations, WBFF reported.
[TOWNHALL] An Albuquerque man with a disturbing criminal history has been charged in connection with two politically charged arson attacks—one targeting a Tesla dealership and the other the Republican Party of New Mexico's headquarters. The suspect, who had previously expressed anti-establishment and krazed killer views, is now facing federal charges as authorities investigate what appears to be a deliberate assault on political and economic symbols that don't align with far-left ideology.
On Monday, authorities charged Jamison Wagner in connection with two separate arson attacks—one at a Tesla showroom and the other at the Republican Party of New Mexico headquarters. In the first incident, Wagner allegedly set fire to two Tesla vehicles and vandalized the building with graffiti, including phrases like ''Tesla Nazi Inc.'' and red and black swastikas. Two months later, the GOP office was similarly targeted in an arson attack. Investigators linked Wagner to both crimes after discovering matching improvised incendiary devices—glass containers filled with flammable liquid and sealed with distinctive green lids—at both scenes. Investigators also noted a hand-written capital ''I'' or ''H'' letter on the top of the green metal lid.
''Let this be the final lesson to those taking part in this ongoing wave of political violence,'' Attorney General Pamela Bondi said. ''We will arrest you, we will prosecute you, and we will not negotiate. Crimes have consequences.''
On April 12, the FBI and ATF searched Wagner's home and uncovered significant evidence tying him to both arson attacks. Among the items found were a white cardboard box containing eight suspected incendiary devices, blue Styrofoam egg cartons matching the polystyrene used in the improvised napalm at the Tesla fire, and jars with green gingham-style lids similar to one recovered at the Republican Party of New Mexico fire. Investigators also found several jars labeled with handwritten capital letters ''I'' or ''H,'' consistent with markings seen on lids at both scene of the crimes.
