[Breitbart] The Alameda County Narcotics Task Force conducted the biggest drug bust in the county’s history, seizing 90 pounds of fentanyl Friday that authorities said have a street value of $4.2 million, according to the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office.
Lt. Ray Kelly, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office, said detectives found a fentanyl manufacturing lab last week after serving two search warrants in Oakland and Hayward in the California Bay Area.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported on the operation, which involved enough fentanyl to kill millions of Americans:
#1
If 2 mg is considered a lethal dose for new users that have not built up a tolerance, and as much as 2.4 MG for long term addicts who have built up a tolerance.
Since 1 lbs equals, about 453,590+ 2 mg. doses. Times 90 lbs equals about 20.4+ Million lethal doses.
ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM QUESTION:
Since we know there were 33,000+/- Fentanyl OD deaths in just 2021. When will the US wise up and impose Death sentences for mass distributors of such lethal drugs?
#2
Well, (channeling Oprah) 2.5mgs for you, 2.5 mgs for you, 2.5 mgs for you. It's one way to shut down demand and all the societal problems its causes.
#3
This is the Biden Administration making war on the the American people. There is no getting around it, folks. They want us all dead. The could put a complete stop to this in a few days and yet they don't. What other conclusion can you reach?

[Garowe] For the second time in less than a week, the al-Shabaab ...... al-Qaeda's tentacle in East Africa... bully boyz on Monday targeted a senior security officer within Somalia, in the group's strategy to disorient the safety of government officials within the federal republic of Somalia.
According to police reports, the al-Shabaab bully boyz planted an Improvised Explosive Device [IED] within Banadir junction in Mogadishu, leaving three people dead, among them two soldiers and a civilian.
Sources indicate the blast targeted Somali military Gen Mohammed Hashi shortly after leaving the Villa Baidoa army base. SNA officer was maimed in the kaboom on his convoy in Mogadishu, Somalia on Monday morning.
Al-Shabaab has stepped up terrorist attacks in the capital at a time when the country is in a difficult election period. It's not clear why the bully boyz targeted General Hashi but for years, the bully boyz have often targeted senior government officials, military officers, and innocent civilians.
Last week, the bully boyz also targeted police chief General Abdi Hassan Mohammed Hijar at Lido beach in Mogadishu, in an attack that left six civilians dead. The officer was not armed at the time of the attack and was leading a number of politicians in a meeting.
Most of the suicide kabooms targeting government officials have often taken place within Mogadishu, one of the most protected cities in the country. The bully boyz have been trying to disrupt the electioneering process within the country.
The opposition has been accusing the government of colluding with the bully boyz to disrupt the electoral exercise in Somalia, a claim which Villa Somalia terms "untrue". Insecurity incidents have intensified in the city, triggering questions about security.
The committee in charge of elections of the speaker has since moved the exercise to the Afisiyoni tent, citing recent incidents targeting the parliament building and the ATMIS headquarters within the Aden Adde International Airport in Mogadishu.
Military officers have borne the brunt of the al-Shabaab attacks, with the bully boyz often targeting their bases in the country. The African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... Mission Forces have not been spared either, with the bully boyz attacking Kenya Defense Forces [KDF] bases at El-Adde and Kulbiyow a few years ago.
[Breitbart] Mexican authorities stopped a human smuggling attempt featuring a passenger bus to move 54 migrants toward the Texas border.
The case took place over the weekend in Altamira, Tamaulipas, where state police officers had set up a joint checkpoint with federal authorities.
Police found 54 migrants, including 13 underage teens and children, a statement from the Tamaulipas government revealed. The migrants were identified as being from Honduras, Nicaragua, and Cuba. Authorities also detained the driver, a woman, and another man who were Mexican nationals.
The Mexicans were turned over to federal authorities for an investigation into human smuggling while the migrants were given to the National Migration Institute to determine their legal statuses.
The detention comes days after Tamaulipas signed an agreement with Texas to step up counter-smuggling efforts in Mexico — a core income stream for the Gulf Cartel. Tamaulipas State Police confirmed several enforcement actions in recent days. The agreement followed a brief use of secondary checkpoints operated by Texas at the expense of international commerce delays.

[KavkazUzel] A criminal case of aiding members of a terrorist organization is being investigated against a resident of the Babayurtovsky district, who in 2017 provided food and housing to members of an illegal armed group, the press service of the FSB for Dagestan reported today.
A resident of the village of Butush, Babayurt District, Ibragimov is suspected of aiding terrorists. The investigation suggested that in April-May 2017, Ibragimov provided housing, food and basic necessities to members of an illegal armed group, RIA Dagestan reported today, citing the press service of the FSB in the republic.
The criminal case is being investigated under an article on complicity in the activities of a terrorist organization, the Nur newspaper writes, citing the agency .
Part 5 of Article 33 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation involves complicity and does not provide for a separate punishment. Part 2 of Article 298 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (participation in the activities of a terrorist organization) provides for up to 15 years in prison.
The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that an investigation in October 2021 suggested that a 30-year-old native of the Khasavyurt district of Dagestan organized a fundraiser for militants in Syria, and also tried to recruit a resident of Chechnya into the ranks of IS via the Internet.

[KavkazUzel] A court in Essentuki sent a man suspected of banditry and an attack on the Russian military in the Shelkovsky district of Chechnya into custody for two months.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on November 30, 2020, it became known about the detention in Chechnya of two alleged participants in the attack on the Russian military in 1999 - Aslanbek Idalov and Salambek Idalov. In July 2021, their case went to court .
The attack of militants led by Shamil Basayev and Emir Khattab on a convoy of Russian troops took place on October 4, 1999. According to security officials, several terrorist groups ambushed near the Chervlennaya railway station in the Shelkovsky district, killing 15 federal soldiers and injuring 28 more.
A petition for the detention of Gakaev R.D., whom the security forces consider to be a participant in the attack on the military in the Shelkovsky district of Chechnya in October 1999, was received by the Essentuki City Court from the first investigative department of the department for investigating crimes against the person and public security of the Main Investigation Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia.
Based on the results of its consideration, a preventive measure was chosen for the man in the form of detention for a period of 2 months - until June 18, 2022, according to today's message on the website of the city court.
Recall that in January 2019, the Supreme Court of Chechnya found local resident Ruslan Bataev guilty of attacking the Russian military in 1999 and sentenced him to 14 years and six months in a strict regime colony. According to the ICR, as of December 16, 2021, 27 members of the Basayev and Khattab gang were sentenced to long terms of imprisonment in the case of an attack in the village of Chervlennaya.
[Rudaw] A Ottoman Turkish court Monday sentenced leading intellectual and rights defender Osman Kavala to life in jail on highly controversial coup plot charges that had already seen him locked up without a conviction for more than four years.
The panel of three judges also sentenced seven other less prominent defendants to 18 years in jail each on charges of aiding the attempt to topple the government.
The judgement is almost certain to attract a chorus of condemnation from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Gee, he doesn't look like a spy.
Alexei Saab
... age 45, he was also known as Ali Hassan Saab, Alex Saab, and Rachid. Until his 2019 arrest he worked as director of information technology for a Morristown, New Jersey energy company, supplementing his income as an adjunct lecturer at Baruch College. He joined Hezbollah in 1996, soaked up all sorts of advanced spy & sabotage training, and by 2003 was collecting information about potential targets in the US, which proved no barrier to his naturalization in the fateful year of 2008. There is also the small matter of marriage fraud...
allegedly worked for Hezbollah's Islamic Jihad Organization
...not the same as the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which operates in Israel and the Palestinian Territories, financed by Iranian money...
as a spy
Investigators allege he planned to carry out attacks on famous U.S. landmarks if Iran were to be bombed and would photograph his potential targets
The naturalized US citizen worked as a software engineer in New Jersey by day and as a terrorist operative by night, officials allege
He faces numerous charges including conspiracy, supporting a foreign terrorist organization, citizenship application fraud and more
Saab has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is currently on trial in NYC
He is also facing a marriage fraud charge for allegedly marrying a co-conspirator in 2012 under false pretenses. Saab's lawyer did not contest that charge.
The most serious charge carries a maximum potential penalty of 25 years in prison, though the charges collectively carry potential penalties of over 100 years in prison.

He entered legally in 2000, Chealing Chomotle4158, then applied for citizenship in 2005, according to various articles in the Rantburg archive. Several Hezbollah/IJO operatives came to the U.S. at about the same time.
#4
He should immediately contact Ilhan Omar. This is obviously a serious case of Islamophobia. The charges are certainly due to the nefarious influence of the Juice. /sarcasm

2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... Police on Sunday nabbed a Babbar Khalsa terrorist, who has been evading arrest for the past 12 years and wanted in the Ludhiana's Shingar cinema kaboom and other cases.
Charanjit Singh, alias Patialavi, was arrested from Mohali's Dera Bassi by the Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) of the Punjab Police.
He was an active member of the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI)
...one of the Khalistan independence groups, fighting for the idea of an independent Sikh homeland in the Indian (and Pak, but they don't dwell on that) Punjab. The local troublemakers are financed by the Sikh diaspora, who love the idea of the folks they left behind murdering their neighbours before dying romantically for a hopeless idea, with training and additional funding from Pakistain’s ISI as yet another arrow in their quiver aimed at the Indian throat since the 1980s....
terrorist module busted by police in 2010 for involvement in the 2007 Ludhiana blast, which had left six dead and over 40 injured.
The terror module was also allegedly involved in 2010 blasts in Ambala and at Kali Mata Mandir in Patiala. All other associates of Patialavi were arrested in 2010 by the Punjab Police, AGTF Deputy Inspector General Gurpreet Singh Bhullar said in a statement on Sunday.
Patialavi has been evading arrest for the past 12 years by using different identities and hideouts, said police. "Patialavi, disguising himself as a 'granthi' was presently staying in a gurudwara at Kharagpur in West Bengal and was not using any communication device," said Bhullar.
Different identification cards on West Bengal address have been recovered from his possession, Bhullar said.
Bhullar said Patialavi, a resident of Butta Singh Wala village in Patiala, was declared a proclaimed offender in a case registered under the Explosive Substances Act and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act at the Machhiwara cop shoppe.
He said AGTF teams led by Assistant Inspector General Gurmeet Singh Chauhan and Deputy Superintendent of Police Bikramjit Singh Brar arrested Patialavi from near a gurudwara at Lali village in Dera Bassi.
[Rudaw] A civilian house in a village in Duhok province was hit with a mortar bomb late Monday, the owner told Rudaw. It is not clear who fired the explosive but the village has seen heavy festivities between The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire... and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) for months.
Sulaiman Omar, the owner of the house, told Rudaw’s Hayder Doski late Monday that his house was hit by a mortar that fortunately only caused material damage. His home was unoccupied as the family only visit on Wednesdays in order to take care of their farm.
"If we were at home, we would definitely sit in the front yard - exactly where the bomb hit - we could have died," Omar said.
The village has been hit with tens of bombs in recent days due to intensity of PKK-Turkey conflict, Rudaw has learnt.
It is not clear who fired the bomb but Turkey has been blamed for most of the bombings in the past.
Ankara often targets the PKK positions at home and in the Kurdistan Region. It launched a fresh military operation against the group in Duhok province last week.
A family from Hirore village suffered from ill health last year due to a suspected chemical attack by Turkey. The same family’s house has been targeted by Turkey several times. The village experienced deforestation by the Ottoman Turkish army last year.
[Rudaw] Iraqi forces foiled two suspected 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) attacks in northeastern Iraq, state media reported early Monday, as the terror group continues to pose a threat to the country's security.
Alleged ISIS holy warriors launched an offense on the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF, or Hashd al-Shaabi in Arabic) in Sayed Bahloul area in Khanaqin’s Hamrin district, "damaging a thermal camera" before the force confronted the fighters, the Iraqi news agency said.
The PMF also thwarted another assault near al-Sad residential compound in the Hamrin district, injuring two ISIS krazed killers.
ISIS seized control of swathes of Iraqi land in 2014. The group was declared territorially defeated in 2017 but it continues to carry out bombings, hit-and-run attacks, and abductions across several provinces.
The recent offense comes amid Iraq’s ongoing Solid Will operation, which aims to eliminate ISIS from its west. Around 12,000 PMF fighters alongside several other forces have partaken in the operation.
Two ISIS suspects were killed on the third day of the operation, Security Media Cell said in a tweet on Monday.
ISIS remnants are particularly active in parts of northern Iraq that are disputed by Erbil and Baghdad, including in the provinces of Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... Diyala, and Salahaddin.
Five alleged prominent ISIS members were arrested across several provinces on Saturday, with multiple stockpiles of equipment seized.
In its propaganda magazine on Thursday, ISIS claimed to have conducted 28 attacks in Iraq from April 14 to April 20, killing and injuring 51 people.

[Rudaw] A Kurdish shepherd was kidnapped by suspected 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) members in Garmiyan administration’s Kifri district on Monday, a Peshmerga commander confirmed to Rudaw, days after another relative of the shepherd was kidnapped and later released by the holy warrior group.
Sarwat Rashid, a 45-year old father of four, was kidnapped while herding his sheep in Kifri’s Duraj area on Monday by two gunnies suspected of being ISIS members, according to Jamal Warani, commander of the Peshmerga forces 144 brigade.
"This afternoon, in Duraj area, located between the Peshmerga and ISIS, the shepherd [Rashid] was kidnapped by two armed ISIS members on his way home," Warani told Rudaw.
Shallaw Ako, the shepherd’s nephew from his mother’s side, told Rudaw that earlier this month another of his uncles from his father’s side was kidnapped by ISIS members on April 1.
Shepherd Farhan Yasin was released for a ransom of 25 thousand dollars on Saturday, according to Ako, after the holy warrior group initially requested 150 thousand dollars.
"Last year, ISIS members killed an uncle and a cousin of mine," he added.
Four Arab shepherds from Salahaddin province’s Tuz Khurmatu district went missing on the morning of April 7, with the district’s officials quickly assuming that they had been kidnapped by ISIS members. Three of the men were released later in the day, casting doubt on the legitimacy of their ISIS abduction claims.
[IsraelTimes] Security forces also find 800,000 Jordanian dinars in cash on suspect caught near West Bank settlement.
Israeli security forces arrested on Monday morning a Paleostinian man suspected of smuggling guns into the West Bank from Jordan, confiscating two dozen handguns, the military and police said.
According to the Israel Police, 24 handguns and 800,000 Jordanian dinars ($1.1 million) in cash were found in a bag carried by the 29-year-old from Jericho, near the settlement of Argaman, close to the border with Jordan.
Soldiers operating surveillance cameras spotted the suspect approaching the border from the Jordanian side overnight, the military said. Police said officers set up an ambush in an open area near the settlement and waited for the suspect to cross the border.
Law enforcement officials have previously indicated that guns smuggled in from Jordan are likely to have been sold to Arab Israelis, for both criminal and terror purposes.
The value of the handguns seized on Monday was estimated at some NIS 1 million ($305,000), police officials said.
The IDF and police have stepped up efforts to halt smuggling attempts along the Jordanian border in recent months, but officials have admitted that success has been limited thus far.
Unlike Israel’s other frontiers — with Egypt, Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. ... and Syria — its border with Jordan is largely open, often without significant fencing, and is relatively unguarded, making it an easy location for large-scale smuggling.
The police on Monday said its Northern District was "spearheading" the effort to counter smuggling attempts from Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and areas of the West Bank under the Paleostinian Authority.
Earlier this month, some 30 firearms apparently smuggled over the Jordanian border were seized.
Authorities have increasingly sought to crack down on the unmitigated spread of illegal weapons in the Arab Israeli community, which have been used to carry out record-breaking numbers of murders in recent years.
According to the Abraham Initiatives, a non-government group lobbying against violence in the Arab community, 125 Arabs — an all-time record — were killed in Israel in 2021 as a result of violence and crime. Since the beginning of this year, another 25 have been killed in incidents of violent mostly peaceful crime.

You know what would really be stupendous? That he escapes. Then disappears.

[IsraelTimes] Security agency says 40-year-old mother of 4 from Jenin area was in contact with members of Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... 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 Hamaswith 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... , passed instructions to local cell members.
The Shin Bet security service said Monday that it recently foiled an attempt by the Gaza-based Paleostinian Islamic Jihad terror group to enlist residents of the West Bank to commit attacks against Israeli targets.
The agency said several Paleostinians from the Jenin area — including Yasmin Shaaban, a 40-year-old mother of four — were detained for planning a bombing attack against Israeli farmers in the area.
It accused Islamic Jihad operatives in Gaza of directing the cell to build bombs to use in an attack. Footage released by the agency allegedly showed the members testing out an bomb that was shaped similarly to a rocket.
Shaaban was accused of passing information between Islamic Jihad members in Gaza and members of the cell in the West Bank. Her interrogation led to the arrest of seven others, who were allegedly part of the cell, the Shin Bet said.
According to the agency, Shaaban was an Islamic Jihad operative who was previously placed in durance vile Into the paddy wagon wit' yez! for involvement in planning a suicide kaboom, under the direction of members of the terror group in Gaza.
On April 20, Shaaban was formally indicted in the case. Five others have also been indicted since, over what the Shin Bet said were "serious security offenses."
Among those charged is Muhammad Yassin, a Paleostinian from the town of Deir Abu Da’if, accused of recruiting several others from his town, who were also detained.
The agency said that in recent years it had identified "constant" attempts by Gaza-based terror groups to recruit Paleostinians in the West Bank for attacks.
"This is systematic and extensive activity that is being driven by organizations, including the Islamic Jihad organization, in order to destabilize the entire region," the Shin Bet said.
The Jenin area has been seen as a major hotspot for terror in recent months. Two perpetrators of recent attacks — Ra’ad Hazem, who killed three Israelis in Tel Aviv, and Diaa Hamarsheh, whose shooting spree left five dead in Bnei Brak — hailed from Jenin and its environs.
Israeli troops entering Jenin and the surrounding villages have increasingly been caught in shootouts in recent months. Although the Paleostinian Authority launched an operation in the governorate last year to restore order, analysts say Ramallah increasingly holds little sway in the area.
Earlier this month, Israeli troops attempted to arrest a team of turbans near Jenin on their way to carry out an attack. Three Islamic Jihad members were killed in the ensuing firefight and four Israeli soldiers were maimed.
[IsraelTimes] The IDF’s Arabic-language front man Avichay Adraee says the military has exposed Hezbollah’s methods of drug-running operations on the northern border.
In a series of tweets, Adraee says that Hatem Sheet, a resident of Kfarkela in southern Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years. It produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. That's three statements. Only the first is subjective.... , has used his home near the border to throw drugs from his balcony over the fence to be picked up on the other Israeli side.
He says Sheet has also been conducting reconnaissance work for the Lebanese terror group on the military’s activities along the northern border.
Adraee separately names a Hezbollah man he says is responsible for coordinating the smugglings on the border with Sheet — Hasan Sara’eni.
He says Sara’eni is an assistant to senior Hezbollah commander Khalil Harb, long accused by the Israel Defense Forces of managing the terror groups drug smugglings operations.
[BenarNews] At least six people were maimed when a homemade bomb went kaboom! aboard a passenger bus in a region of the southern Philippines where Moslemhard boyz and gangs are active, the military said Monday.
The Sunday morning bombing occurred as the Mindanao region and the rest of the nation were under tight security ahead of a general election in two weeks. It was the first such attack in the region since a 5-year-old died in a bomb explosion aboard a bus in January.
In Sunday’s explosion, the bomb went off on the Rural Transit bus while the vehicle was stopped on a highway in Parang town, Maguindanao province, en route to Dipolog city, authorities said.
The attack took place about 1 km from the police headquarters of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Moslem Mindanao, said Lt. Col. Joseph Macatangay, the local chief.
"We are investigating the incident," he told news hounds. "The victims are recuperating in the hospital."
Local hard boyz linked to the bully boy group known as 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.... (IS) may have carried out the bombing, said Lt. Col. John Baldomar, front man for the Army’s 6th Infantry Division, which has jurisdiction over the area.
"We are looking into all angles of possible motives. It could be terrorism, extortion or business-related," Baldomar told BenarNews.
Macatangay said the bus had stopped on the roadside for breakfast, when the blast occurred in its rear section. Pictures posted on social media showed police and bystanders carrying victims from the bus.
Witnesses said a man wearing a black jacket got off the bus before the earth-shattering kaboom that destroyed a right-side window, according to authorities.
Police ordnance experts later defused a second improvised bomb found inside the bus, Macatangay said.
Regional military commander Maj. Gen. Juvymax Uy condemned the attack.
"I call on all residents of Central Mindanao to cooperate with the government in identifying those responsible for this attack in order for us to preempt and thwart similar attacks against our communities and forces," Uy said.
No one has grabbed credit, but similar bombings in the past have been blamed on IS-linked murderous Moslems, according to officials.
Possibilities distilled from the rest of the article: Daulah Islamiyah and the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters group (BIFF).
