Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Azerbaijani ISIS member tried for attempted attack on Baku synagogue
[IsraelTimes] The suspect is accused of planning an attack on the Mountain Jews Synagogue of Baku with a Molotov cocktail in December

A youth in Azerbaijan 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....
terror organization is being tried for attempting to attack a synagogue in the capital city of Baku in December, according to Azerbaijani media reports.

18-year-old Abdulla Aliyev is accused of attempting to attack the Mountain Jews Synagogue of Baku with a Molotov cocktail and other weapons on December 28. The State Security Service was able to prevent the attack and detain him.

An accomplice testified against Aliyev, saying he was recruited online. The two began speaking about ISIS on Instagram that November, and Aliyev sent him a link to join a secret group.

"Later, he told me that he was going to attack a synagogue and asked me for an axe, a knife, a Molotov cocktail, and gloves," the witness said. "He said that after that, when the time came, he would bomb other places as well."

The two were driving together to attack the synagogue when authorities stopped and inspected the car, finding incendiary substances and weapons.

Aliyev was found to be affiliated with the ISIS Khorasan terrorist organization, media reports said. He was charged at the Baku Court of Grave Crimes on multiple accounts of terrorism, religious extremism, and organized crime. The trial will next meet on September 22.

Azerbaijan is considered one of the safest Moslem countries for Jews, thanks in large part to a secular government that actively promotes religious tolerance and interfaith harmony.

The country’s Jewish community is said to date back over 2,000 years to the Babylonian exile.

Today, between 6,000 and 30,000 Jews live in the country, according to various estimates, with the majority living in Baku.

Three of Azerbaijan’s eight synagogues are in Baku, including the Mountain Jews Synagogue, which was built in 1945.

A defendant in the Crocus terrorist attack case offered victims 1,000 rubles each
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] One of the defendants in the case of the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall in Krasnogorsk near Moscow, Umedzhon Soliev (an individual included in the Russian Federation list of terrorists and extremists) offered to pay the victims 1,000 rubles. This was stated on August 5 by the victims' lawyer Ksenia Trunova.

Soliev made this proposal during the next court hearing. This amount, in his opinion, should compensate for moral damage.

“During today’s hearing, defendant Umedzhon Soliev proposed to compensate moral damages to 127 victims, whom we represent, by paying them 1,000 rubles each,” Trunova said in a comment to TASS.
According to the internet, that’s US$12.50, an insulting amount, especially when he admits his actions damaged his own soul as well as their bodies.
Soliev is accused of supplying weapons, ammunition and explosives to the direct perpetrators of the terrorist act. He used the pseudonym Muhammad and headed a structural cell of the terrorist organization in Russia.

Earlier, on August 5, it became known that the organizers of the terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall concert hall allocated 350 thousand rubles for the purchase of weapons. They brought three Kalashnikov assault rifles, one Makarov pistol and at least 1,381 cartridges from Dagestan to the Moscow region in a car with a cache.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Russian diplomatic mission car attacked near Jerusalem
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] An official vehicle of the Russian diplomatic mission to the Palestinian National Authority was attacked near Jerusalem. This was reported on August 5 by the Russian Foreign Ministry.

The ministry stressed that the car had diplomatic license plates and was carrying Russian diplomats accredited to the Israeli Foreign Ministry.

"The car <…> was attacked in the area of the illegal Israeli settlement of Givat Assaf near Jerusalem by a group of settlers. The car sustained mechanical damage. The attack itself was accompanied by verbal threats against Russian diplomats," the department's website says.

Moreover, the attack took place in front of the Israeli military, and they did not even try to prevent the aggression. The Foreign Ministry considers the incident a gross violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, which, among other things, speaks of the obligations of the host country to ensure the principle of immunity of diplomats.

The Russian Embassy in Tel Aviv sent a corresponding representation to the authorities of the Jewish state. The Russian Foreign Ministry expects that the Israeli side will draw conclusions.
