-Lurid Crime Tales-
Police: Woman, 6-year-old boy found shot to death in Warren home
[FREEP] Warren police said a woman and a 6-year-old boy were found shot to death Thursday in a house in the southwest section of the city.

Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer said officers discovered the bodies when they went to a single-family house in the 2000 block of Otis Avenue for a welfare check after 10 a.m. The home is near 9 Mile and Dequindre.

Dwyer said the woman is believed to be in her 20s. He did not provide additional details about the victims or the circumstances or motive for their deaths.

Warren police are working with bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit
... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang...
police as the killings may be connected to the discovery of a man's body in a car on Hyde Park Drive on Detroit's east side Thursday morning

Dwer said police are executing a search warrant at the scene of the double homicide in Warren and were attempting to notify relatives.

The double slaying is the second homicide investigation this week for Warren police. On Tuesday night, a 32-year-old man was shot to death by another man after being lured outside a residence in the 21400 block of La Salle Boulevard, police said.

A bright young nurse of my acquaintance originally got her RN so she would be able to work her way through medical school, but by the time she finished her degree she concluded that a) working while studying would not be possible, and b) by the time she’s saved up for med school she would be too old to make it worthwhile.

#1  Even Russia - the self-appointed defender of Christians - doesn't support Armenia in this particular conflict. Still, I expect some paleo-conservatives to use the excuse to give their usual performance where Israel is concerned.

#2  The Moscow Times: What Is Russia's Role in the Armenia-Azerbaijan Conflict? Sep. 28, 2020
Moscow has so far taken a cautious stance toward the latest flare-up. Hrayr Badalyan / AP / TASS
Fighting between the ex-Soviet republics over a decades-long territorial dispute threatens to embroil regional players Russia and Turkey. The United States, Europe, Russian President Vladimir Putin and the UN secretary general called for an end to hostilities. — Why are they fighting? Armenia and Azerbaijan have clashed over Nagorno-Karabakh since 1988, when the mountainous region of fewer than 150,000 people declared independence from Azerbaijan. An ensuing war killed 30,000 and displaced hundreds of thousands before ending in a ceasefire in 1994. Violent outbreaks between Armenian and Azeri forces have continued ever since.
The origins of the conflict date back to 1921, when Soviet authorities added the predominantly ethnic Armenian territory to Azerbaijan.
— Which side is Russia backing? Russia..., maintains close economic ties with both Armenia and Azerbaijan and has adopted a cautious stance toward the recent flare-ups. However, Armenia is deeper within Moscow’s orbit as a member of Russia-led regional military and economic blocs CSTO and EEU. Azerbaijan is not. Russian support and military guarantees are critical to Armenia, whose budget is overshadowed by Azerbaijan's arms spending. Additionally, Armenia hosts a Russian military base near its second-largest city.

Iraq
Turkey, Iran deploy drones in north Iraq against Kurd rebels
[THEBAGHDADPOST] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
and 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...
are increasingly adopting "game-changing" drones as their weapon of choice against Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq, prompting fears for the safety of civilians and stoking geopolitical tensions, Arab News reported.

"Not a day goes by without us seeing a drone," said Mohammad Hassan, mayor of Qandil, the mountainous Iraqi stronghold of Turkey’s outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).

"They fly so low Qandil’s residents can see them with their naked eye," Hassan told AFP.

Batch of ISIS families transferred from Hawl Camp to Roj Camp, Syria
[NPASYRIA] Over the past month, several batches of families of ISIS fighters have been transferred from Hawl Camp, in the Hasakah countryside, to Roj Camp, south of Derik.

Roj Camp Director Nora Abdo told North Press on Thursday that new families arrived in batches to Roj camp during September.

Abdo added that the number of families that have been transferred has reached 179, consisting of 564 individuals of various nationalities.

Two batches of ISIS families arrived in Roj Camp on September 3, which included 40 families. Earlier, on August 14, Roj Camp received three batches that included 58 families consisting of 166 individuals.

The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) is carrying out these transfers with the aim of relieving the immense pressure on Hawl Camp. Hawl Camp suffers from overcrowding, as it houses over 65,000 individuals, as opposed to Roj Camp, which is significantly smaller, housing 521 families.

Hawl Camp also continuously experiences security chaos created by ISIS fighters’ families due to their radicalism, including tent burnings, assaults, and attempted murders — chaos the AANES is attempting to alleviate by separating the radicalized detainees.
