[Breitbart] Authorities in Mexico are remaining tightlipped about how a team of button men was able to hijack a truck carrying 33 tons of gold and silver concentrate. The high-stakes robbery comes as Mexico’s government continues to claim that public safety is improving and that the country is safe.
The robbery took place on Monday when a tractor-trailer carrying minerals was traveling from the Mexican state of Durango to the Port of Manzanillo in Colima State, where it was expected to be shipped out. However,
by candlelight every wench is handsome... while the truck was moving through the state of Jalisco, a group of button men in at least two vehicles intercepted the truck, overpowered the security detail, and kidnapped the driver.
According to information released by Grupo Bacis, the mining company that owned the precious metals, the button men held the security detail and driver for almost two hours while they stealing the cargo. After the button men released the victims, they made their way to a nearby tollbooth where they asked for help. Mexican authorities were able to find the tractor-trailer soon after, but the cargo was gone. The company has not placed a value on the stolen cargo; however, it is expected to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
While authorities have not released any information on the case, the dominant criminal organization in Jalisco is Cartel Jalisco New Generation, one of the six cartels designated as foreign terrorist organizations by the U.S. government. In Jalisco, CJNG operates with almost absolute impunity and has historically controlled all major crimes in the region such as extortion and ransom kidnapping in addition to drug and human trafficking.
[JUSTTHENEWS] Ten people have been charged in connection with a shooting last week at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement corrections officers and wounding a police officer at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, according to a U.S. attorney.
Nancy Larson, acting U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas, said at a Monday night news conference in Fort Worth that people in black military-style clothing fired at authorities in a ''planned ambush'' on Friday, The News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported.
The group first shot off fireworks, damaging cars and a guard structure, and writing words such as ''traitor'' and ''ICE pig.'' That ''seemed to be designed to draw U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel outside the facility, and it worked,'' Larson said.
Two unarmed ICE corrections officers came out of the detention center to speak with the group, and eventually, the Alvarado police officer arrived and was shot by someone who was in the woods, according to Larson.
''Another assailant, who was across the street, nowhere near the corrections officers, shot 20 to 30 rounds at these unarmed corrections officers,'' she said. ''There was an AR-style rifle found at the scene'' that was jammed, Larson added. A flag that read ''Resist fascism fasces -- thin reeds, each flimsy in itself but unbreakable when bound into a bundle. Its distinguishing philosophical feature is the Corporate State. The word is nowadays thrown around by all sorts of people who have no idea what they're talking about... , fight oligarchy ... derived from the Greek words oligos, a few and the verb archo, to rule, to govern, to command. Oligarchies are invariably effectual rather than established, to whit, they disguise themselves as other systems, working as the real government behind the face of of democracy, fascism, socialism, monarchy, or what have you... ,'' and flyers with words such as ''Fight ICE'' were also recovered near the detention center.
Masks, goggles, tactical gloves, more body armor, weapons, spray paint, and fireworks were found in additional searches, according to Larson.
As the group bravely ran away, sheriff's deputies stopped seven people about 300 yards from where the police officer was shot.
''Some were wearing body armor, some were covered in mud, some were armed, and some had two-way radios on them,'' Larson said.
''It was a planned ambush with the intent to kill ICE corrections officers,'' she also said.
The police officer who was shot in the neck after reporting to the detention center was treated at a hospital and released, according to the Johnson County Sheriff's office.
When asked if the shooting was connected to the shooting in McAllen, Texas, on Monday of Border Patrol agents and a police officer, Larson said, ''This is an ongoing investigation, so we cannot comment on any connections or the existence of connections at all.''
The 10 people were each charged with three counts of attempted murder of a federal officer and three counts of discharging a firearm in relation to a crime of violence, according to Larson. Another person was charged with obstruction of justice and conspiracy for attempting to conceal and destroy evidence.

Israel Attacks in Gaza Kill 78 More Palestinians@DecampDave
Israeli attacks in Gaza on Tuesday have killed at least 78 Palestinians, medical sources told Al Jazeera, as relentless US-backed strikes continue and IDF troops continue to gun down people seeking aid.
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The complex operation in Beit Hanoun, which targeted an area the occupation forces believed to be empty after completely leveling it, dealt a significant blow to the prestige of the Israeli military, said Abu Obeida, spokesperson for the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas ..a regional Iranian catspaw,...

...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 a rusty iron fist by Hamas with 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.

Strip, from north to south, continues to inflict daily losses on the Israeli occupation.
''Our fighters launched their attack from the very ruins the occupation believed were devoid of life,'' Abu Obeida stated, adding, ''The war of attrition our fighters are fighting across the entire Gaza Strip, from the North to the South, will continue to cost the enemy more losses by the day.''
He also warned that even if the occupation previously managed to extract its soldiers from what he described as ''the inferno'', it would not succeed again, alluding to the potential for more Israeli soldiers to be captured in future confrontations.
