[11Alive] Authorities are investigating after an explosion destroyed the Georgia Guidestones in Elbert County, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said.
They said "unknown individuals" detonated an explosive device at around 4 a.m. on Wednesday. The Elbert County Sheriff’s Office responded to discover the explosion destroyed a large portion of the structure, they said.
According to multiple people nearby, the explosion was heard in the area and even shook their homes. Some shared images showing debris near the stones.
The meaning behind the mysterious 19-foot monoliths has been unclear since the structure was built in 1979.
No one knows exactly what the granite slabs are doing in the middle of a cow pasture - or who who put them there more than 40 years ago.
The Guidestones are about 100 miles from Atlanta in the northeast corner of the state -- not far from the South Carolina border.

[ToloNews] Nearly 5.000 Afghan refugees have been expelled from neighbors Iran ...The nation is 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... and Pakistain over the past three days, the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation (MoRR) said on Monday.
Officials at the ministry stated that many of the returnees have come from Iran where they encountered a census taken by the Iranian government.
According to the findings of the ministry, at least 4,559 have returned home from Iran and Pakistain.
"I have visited the embassy several times, although I have paid the money of the identity card, they are telling me the site is closed, we will call you. They (people in embassy) do not consider our problems," said Assadullah, an Afghan refugee in Iran.
"We go to the embassy and we face the same answer: come a month later. They are asking for identity cards from us," said Rassoul, another Afghan refugee in Iran.
Meanwhile, ...back at the barn, a little lightbulb figuratively appeared over Bossy's head... the Iranian government urged Afghan authorities to stop illegal travel.
"With the start of the census process of Afghans, the deporting of Afghans without legal documents has increased. The government of Iran counts people who do not take part in the census as illegal refugees," said Asefa Stanekzai, a representative for Afghan refugees in Iran.
At the same time, several Afghan refugees who have gone through the census process said they will gain access to some facilities including banking services.
"The people who receive these documents will receive some benefits like bank accounts, sim cards and their children will be allowed to go to school," said Nusratullah Kashnani, an Afghan refugee in Iran.
The deportation of Afghan refugees comes as the United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... and Amnesia Amnesty International have called on the host countries to stop the eviction of refugees and migration and as well as the violating of the rights of refugees.
[ToloNews] The Afghan nationals stranded across the Torkham port were allowed by Pakistain to enter Afghanistan with their national Identity Cards (ID), local officials said.
According to the officials, more than 3,000 Afghans entered Afghanistan from Pakistain over the past two days.
Two days ago, an Afghan citizen did away with himself by throwing himself in front of a truck after he was not allowed by the Pak forces to enter Afghanistan.
The photos circulated on social media show an elder Afghan throwing himself in front of a truck.
The Afghanistan embassy in Islamabad also identified the man as an Afghan national and said he did away with himself after he was prevented from reaching the crossing's gate by Pak forces.
"We have talked about this matter many times--the Afghans can enter Afghanistan via their national identity cards," said Sayed Ghaziullah Hashimi, an Afghan official at the gate.
Meanwhile, ...back at the saw mill, Scarface Al had tied Little Nell to the log and was about to turn on the buzz saw... the Afghans who returned to the country with their IDs complained of problems at Torkham gate.
"I went to Pakistain four months ago for treatment. I have faced severe problems. They would ask for a bribe," said Emal, an Afghan.
Meanwhile, ...back at the saw mill, Scarface Al had tied Little Nell to the log and was about to turn on the buzz saw... Afghans seeking health treatment in Pakistain expressed their concerns over the long time waiting for a Pak visa.
"Whenever we want to go to Pakistain, they ask for a passport. We don’t have the capacity to forge a passport for ourself," said Mohammad, a relative of a patient.
Meanwhile, ...back at the saw mill, Scarface Al had tied Little Nell to the log and was about to turn on the buzz saw... residents on both sides called on the officials of the two countries to improve facilities between the two countries.

[ToloNews] The closure of Abrisham border connecting the western province of Nimroz with Iran ...Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979... has created severe problems for the Afghan citizens.
Some of the Afghan citizens called on the local officials to solve the issue.
People with legal documents and visas say they have been stranded on the border for more than three days.
"It has been two days that I am waiting on the border to cross it. I have a visa and passport," said Abdul Shokor, a resident of Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... "I have a residential visa for Iran. If they don’t allow me (to cross), it will expire," said Ghulam Ali, a resident of Nimroz.
Meanwhile, ...back at the precinct house, Sergeant Maloney wasn't buying it. It was just too pat. The whole thing smelled phony, kind of like a dead mackeral but without the scales... some Afghans who have been deported from Iran complain over the mistreatment by Iranian border forces.
"The passengers are being disturbed and the passengers are facing a lot of problems," said Noor Rahman, a deportee.
According to an official, the border was closed after the Iranian forces opened fire on an Afghan child.
"In recent days, in two separate events, Iranian border forces opened fire on two Afghan children, in which one child was killed and another one was maimed, and therefore, the Abrisham border is closed. We hope to reopen the border through talks," said Mufti Habibullah Elham, head of the department of Information and Culture of Nimroz.
"Unfortunately, today, due to disputes between Iran and Afghanistan, the traders and our citizens are being harmed," said Ahmad Javid Sedeqqi, a political analyst.
There have been many disputes along the Abrisham crossing over the past months, but this is the first time that the border was blocked by the Afghan side.

[KhaamaPress] An official of the Taliban ...Arabic for students... ’s Department of Education in Bamyan province, in central Afghanistan, has been arrested on charges of the crime of adultery. According to local sources, the perpetrator was caught red-handed.
The Intelligence Agency of the Taliban, according to local sources, arrested Bashir Haidari, the official of the education department in Bamyan province in Sadat valley on Sunday night.
The source claims that this official of the Bamyan Department of Education initially promised a maiden of tender years a teaching position before making her engage in sexual acts.
Sources claim that Mawlawi Islamuddin Osmani, the head of the education department in Bamyan, who happens to be related to the offender, is attempting to release him from the detention facility managed by the Taliban’s intelligence.
The spokesperson for the Taliban’s governor in Bamyan also confirmed the arrest. He said, "I cannot confirm that Bashir Haidari was arrested for committing adultery or any other charge, you should contact the intelligence agency for the details."
While the Taliban boast that corruption in Afghanistan has been completely eradicated, this official of the Bamyan Education Department has been arrested on adultery-related accusations.
It’s admirable that they’re still finding and returning what was stolen by Saddam Hussein a generation ago.

The murder of Kolhe and Kanhaiya Lal of Udaipur are similar in nature and the Intelligence Bureau has been tasked with finding out if there is a pattern to it.

Just so you know, these are all fcuking idiots padding the job after the fact. There's basically no 'national security angle' to this other than the two poor dead men and their families were citizens and citizens make a nation.
'Dig deeper into patterns' my ass. Intelligence babus trying to justify their exorbitant salaries and perks, making shit up, finding every possible thing in the perps' lives and linking it to something outrageouly sinister. They'll soon find a 'pakistain angle' to this, and maybe even an Isis one too.
Truth is, the moslem needs no orders from a high council of hookah smoking schweinhunden somewhere. Neither does he have some elaborate mechanism of political assassinations in place. These were the usual targets of opportunity that die from America to Israel and Africa to Bangladesh everyday. Open targets for underevolved, lawless, primitive sasquatches of the rabid fcuk-upedness that our governments have allowed to fester in all our lands.
There is nothing to investigate here. Just two typical moslems, killing and making snuff videos, smug in the knowledge that the idiots of this world continue to believe in shit like 'due process'. Shit!
[IsraelTimes] Denial of service, said to cause no lasting damage, is latest apparent salvo in Israel-Iran ...The nation is 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... cyberwar
The company building the light rail network for the Tel Aviv area said Monday that its website was temporarily disrupted by a foreign cyberattack, as Iranian media reported that pro-regime hackers managed to infiltrate the servers of the "Israel Metro."
Israel’s NTA Metropolitan Mass Transit System Ltd said in a statement that "a glitch was detected" Monday morning on its website and that an examination determined that it had fallen victim to a denial-of-service [DoS] attack from abroad. NTA said it managed to regain control of the website and that it had sustained no lasting damages.
Iranian media reports, which all cited an unsourced report on the Sabereen News Telegram channel, said the "massive" cyberattack targeted the operating systems and servers of the "Israel Metro." Israel’s Channel 12 reported that this led to ridicule online, as Israel has no underground train system.
The attack came just a day after a similar one disrupted operations of the websites belonging to Iran’s official culture and media offices, Channel 12 reported, clarifying that Iranian opposition activist muppets had grabbed credit and that it was not tied to Israel.
Last week, a large cyberattack forced the Iranian state-owned Khuzestan Steel Co. to halt production, and two other major steel producers also reported being targeted.
An anonymous hacking group grabbed credit on social media for the attack, saying it had targeted Iran’s three biggest steel companies in response to the "aggression of the Islamic Theocratic Republic."
Israeli military correspondents, who are regularly briefed off-the-record by senior Israeli officials, hinted that Israel was directly responsible for the steel company assault in retaliation to a suspected cyberattack that caused rocket sirens to be heard in Jerusalem and Eilat last week.
Earlier in June, Israeli communications firms were instructed to bolster cybersecurity, as the government rolled out a new initiative to guard the country against online attacks amid an uptick in hacks targeting Israeli websites.
Under the reform, Israel’s major communications companies are required to implement detailed plans for identifying and preventing future cyberattacks targeting communication networks. The companies now need to adhere to unified standards.

[IsraelTimes] Rob Malley says Tehran has enough uranium to build bomb within weeks if it chooses to, accuses Iranian negotiators of adding irrelevant demands in Qatar talks about the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
Thus is President Barack Obama’s objective achieved though, like Moses, he himself never made it to the Promised Land.

ANY DEAL with Iran is just the same as Winston Churchill making a deal with Heir Hitler "peace in our time".
The Wetworks Cleaning Team should have been called out during the Iranian Riots some years ago. The opportunity that Muhammad Obama refused to do or support.

Churchill was a lone voice against the Nazi menace,throughout the 30's and his speech at the demise of Czechoslovakia is a classic proof of his vision of what was to come:
[AnNahar] In the wake of Hezbollah’s launching of three drones towards the Karish offshore gas field, the United States warned Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...The land area formerly occupied by the state of Lebanon, before that Phoenicia... that it might face "deterring punitive measures" that might involve "slapping oil sanctions" on the country, media reports said on Tuesday.
"U.S. mediator Amos Hochstein openly cautioned Lebanese officials that such a step would torpedo the U.S. efforts and could subject the Lebanese investments in the oil and gas resources to the threat of sanctions, especially that it targeted a maritime area that is outside of Lebanon’s internationally-recognized border under the U.N. records," diplomatic sources told the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper.
The warnings were what prompted Lebanon to hold the Grand Serail meeting that distanced the Lebanese state from Hezbollah’s move and condemned it as "unacceptable," the daily added.
The London-listed Greek energy firm Energean, which has sent vessels to the Karish field, meanwhile held a meeting and described Hezbollah’s step as "blatant violation by Lebanon against the works of the company outside of its border, which necessitates taking decisive measures that prevent such attacks in the future," Nidaa al-Watan said.
"As part of these measures, Energean Power might demand the issuance of a unified European stance encompassing all oil companies operating in the Middle East in order to declare a boycott of any form of cooperation with Lebanon in operations related to exploiting its oil and gas resources at the levels of exploration, extraction and production," the daily added.
[AnNahar] The Lebanese government "needs to rein in Hezbollah" or else Israel "will be forced to do so," Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid warned on Tuesday, as he headed to La Belle France for an official visit.
"Israel will not agree to this kind of attacks on its illusory sovereignty, and anyone who does this needs to know that they are taking an unnecessary risk to their well-being," Lapid added, in reference to Hezbollah's launching of three drones towards the Karish offshore gas field on Saturday.
"The Lebanese government must guarantee that Hezbollah will not obstruct the finalizing of the demarcation of the maritime border between Israel and Lebanon Hezbollahstan

[Rudaw] La Belle France repatriated over 16 French women and dozens of children affiliated with 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.... (ISIS) from Syria camps, a bigwig said on Tuesday.
"Over 16 women and 35 children" were handed over to a French delegation from the foreign ministry, the co-chair of northeast Syria’s (Rojava) foreign relations commission Abdulkarim Omar said in a tweet.
The French foreign ministry said the minors were handed over to child protection services while the women would face judicial proceedings.
Save the Children on Monday afternoon welcomed the repatriation.
"Finally away from this camp, these children can start to have hope about their lives and futures," Matthew Sugrue, acting Syria response director said.
"The children are living in inhuman sanitary conditions, lacking basic necessities including water, food, and health care, and facing an imminent risk of death," Ann Skelton, member of the UN Child Rights Committee said.
"At least 62 children have reportedly died in the camps as a result of these conditions since the beginning of 2021," she added.
One of the women was 37-year-old Emilie Konig, a Moslem convert from northwest La Belle France who became a notorious recruiter for the group and urged supporters in the West to carry out attacks, a security source said.
Family members of the returnees said that French officials had entered the sprawling and squalid Roj camp on Monday to select orphans and women with medical problems for the flight home.
"It’s a 180-degree turn from the French government to repatriate women as well. It gives us hope, but there are still a lot of children over there," the aunt of one of the repatriated women said, asking not to be named.
The decision to return 51 people in a single operation points to a change in policy that came after Germany and Belgium announced that they would bring back all of their minors from Syria. Around 150 remain in Syria, lawyers and campaigners said on Tuesday.
The president of the Seine-Saint-Denis region northeast of Gay Paree, where many previous returnees have been housed, said it was important to make a distinction between IS fighters and children, many of whom are orphans.
