[Ynet] Egyptian authorities have tossed in the clink Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! 75 people including government officials and foreigners over an array of corruption-related charges.
The country's anti-corruption Administrative Control Authority said in a Thursday statement that the arrests come in the wake of a 14-months-long
investigation that revealed the defendants' involvement with several "organized gangs."
The statement, carried by state-run news agency ...and if you can't believe the state-run news agency who can you believe?... MENA, says the defendants were found to be involved in acts of bribery, profiteering, forging official documents, facilitating illegal migration and human trafficking, as well as misappropriating private and public funds.
The statement didn't name officials or specify the nationalities of the foreigners involved.
It added that the arrests were carried out during raids across several provinces, including Cairo, Giza, Alexandria, Kafr el-Sheikh, Gharbiya and Daqahliyah.
[Breitbart] Federal officials stopped the attempted smuggling of two Uzbek nationals who illegally crossed the border from Canada into New York. The effort led to the arrest of a U.S. citizen who officials say was transporting them.
Shortly after midnight on December 30, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers encountered Habib Muhammed, 46, a U.S. citizen, as he crossed the border from Canada at the Mooers Port of Entry in New York, according to information obtained by Breitbart Texas from CBP officials. During a border crossing inspection, officers found two passports issued by Uzbekistan and a Canadian driver’s license application.
Around the same time, Border Patrol officials received a call from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police who said they spotted two people who appeared to illegally cross the border in the same area. Agents responded and located Davlat Ahmedov, 29, and Bahodir Rustamov, 38, both Uzbek nationals, in the woods immediately south of the Canadian border.
Border Patrol agents learned that the identity of the two men matched the passports found by CBP officers in Muhammed’s vehicle at the Port of Entry.
In November 2017, Breitbart News National Security news hound Edwin Mora reported that Uzbekistan is "one of two top countries that has produced most of the jihadists currently fighting and killing U.S. troops and their allies in Afghanistan on behalf of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of New York will prosecute the man for Criminal Alien Smuggling, a violation of 8 U.S.C. 1324, officials stated. Ahmedov and Rustamov will also be prosecuted for illegally entering the United States, a violation of 8 U.S.C. 1325.
The successful arrest came about due to cooperation between the two U.S. agencies and Canadian law enforcement.
In October 2016, Border Patrol agents from the nearby Swanton Station stopped the smuggling of a Russian and a Georgian from Canada to the U.S., Breitbart Texas reported. Agents also arrested a Mexican woman being smuggled into the U.S. at the Mooers Port of Entry.
Breitbart Texas reported in July 2016 that Canada and Mexico reached an agreement whereby Mexican citizens can travel to Canada without obtaining a visa. Jessica Vaughn, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies told Breitbart Texas, "Canada will now become even more of a launching point for illegal entry into the United States."

[IsraelTimes] Army says troops responded to 'main instigators' in a riot near Bethlehem after being targeted by rocks and Molotov cocktails
Ten Paleostinians were maimed, two critically, in confrontations with Israeli soldiers in the Deheishe refugee camp south of Bethlehem on Thursday morning, according to the Paleostinian Health Ministry.
The Israel army said it was responding to violent attacks by rioters.
According to the Paleostinian Health Ministry, seven of the injured were hit by live fire and three by rubber-coated bullets.
One of the critically injured men was shot in the back, near the spine, and the other was shot in the thigh, puncturing an artery and causing severe bleeding, the ministry said.
The injured were transferred to a hospital in nearby Beit Jala for treatment, according to the ministry.
"During IDF activity in the Deheishe refugee camp, violent riots were instigated as rioters threw Molotov cocktails and rocks at the troops. In response to the immediate threat, IDF troops used riot dispersal means and fired toward the main instigators," an IDF spokesperson said.
[Bangkok Post] A man was sentenced to life in prison for killing three soldiers and two others got four years each for inciting unrest and separatism in three separate cases.
Military spokesman Pramote Prom-in held a briefing on the rulings on Thursday. He said the Pattani court on December 28-29 last year sentenced Zufiyan Sni to life in prison after finding him guilty in an attack by several men on security officers and people in Mayo district in late March. Three soldiers died and one civilian was wounded.
When Zufiyan was arrested on March 31, security officials seized from him two pistols and the SIM cards of the dead soldiers. Forensic examinations found the guns had been used in the attack and also in a shooting of a civilian in tambon Palas, Mayo district, earlier.
Two other men were also handed a four-year jail sentence in two separate cases last week. Rooslan Tooyong was found guilty after his DNA was found on a separatist banner put up in Yarang district in March 2013. Akkaradej Sni was found guilty of illegal association as his DNA was found on the documents on terrorism and separatism seized when he was arrested at an Islamic school in Panare district, in March. “The three convicts were under six arrest warrants and had been involved in several fatal incidents,” Pramote said.
[ALMASDARNEWS] Iranian security forces have raided and destroyed a foreign terrorist organization that had made its way into the northwest of the country, according to Fars News Agency.
"An armed anti-revolutionary team which had recently penetrated Iran with the mission to conduct blasts and kill people in false flag operations to heighten anti-establishment sentiments for continued unrests was identified by the intelligence forces in Piranshahr (...) They fired at the security forces and used a rural woman as human shield while being nabbed ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... ," an anonymous official told Fars News.
According to the official, the operation and the subsequent shootout also costed the life of three security forces, while three teams of foreign hard boyz were arrested. The city of Piranshahr lies close to the borders of both Iraq and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund.... The alleged entrance of the foreign terrorist organization into Iran corresponds with the dying down of a wave of protests that swept across Iran in the past week. While originally the demonstrations were intended to protest economic difficulties such as high cost of living and youth unemployment, they quickly spiralled out of control when groups of armed opponents of the Islamic Theocratic Republic launched attacks on security forces, public property and religious sites.
Since Wednesday, the protests have been dying out as authorities called on protesters to allow the security forces to deal with the armed elements. The past two days have also seen massive demonstrations in support of the Islamic Theocratic Republic and in opposition to foreign intervention in Iran’s domestic affairs.

Seems the people don't want that old time religious dictatorship anymore.
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Salafist tough guys of Faylaq al-Rahman published a statement on Thursday mourning the death of several fighters and their field commander, Hassan al-Boshi, during the fierce battle for the Harasta suburb of east Damascus.
According to the statement released by Faylaq al-Rahman, at least 16 of their fighters were killed when an Arclight airstrike hit a building they were positioned at near the vehicle base in Harasta.
In addition to the Faylaq al-Rahman casualties, their allies from Harakat Ahar al-Sham and Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham also suffered heavy losses from this airstrike, with corpse count estimated to be between 20 to 25 hard boyz for the aforementioned jihadist groups.
On Thursday, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) launched a massive counter-offensive to recapture the territory around the vehicle base and to lift the siege around this imperative military installation.
