#1  It is to be recalled that nearly 30,000 Yemenis went to Afghanistan and joined the Arab-Afghans in the war with the Soviet Union. Stupidly, they were used as cannon fodder. Stupidly, they new await the total destruction of a failed nation that is rushing pell-mell from the 15th to the 16th century.

Caribbean-Latin America
Mexican woman mayor killed hours after election of first female president
[GEO.TV] Just hours after when Mexico elected its first female president Claudia Sheinbaum, the woman mayor of Cotija in Michoacán state Yolanda Sánchez Figueroa, was rubbed out, as per the authorities.

Figueroa was walking back from a gym to her house with her bodyguard when people in white van shot them, said the state attorney general in a statement, reported CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
Both Sánchez Figueroa and her bodyguard later died in hospital, it stated, adding that an investigation has been initiated.

Hours after Sheinbaum won a landslide victory to become the first female president of Mexico, Figueroa’s death confirmation came.

Sheibaum’s victory marked an achievement in a country, which is known for its patriarchal culture and widespread femicide.

Notably, the recent elections were the bloodiest in Mexico’s history with extensive violence against politicians looming large during the election.

During the campaign time, dozens of political candidates as well as applicants were killed by criminal organizations in attempts to influence the vote.

Replacing the outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Sheinbaum will begin her presidency starting from October 1.

Europe
French authorities have arrested a Russian-speaking man in possession of explosives in his hotel room close to the Paris Charles de Gaulle airport
[TWITTER]

French police have arrested a 26-year-old Ukranian-Russian man after he went kaboom! with kabooms in a hotel room north of Gay Paree, a source at the French PNAT anti-terrorism prosecutors office said on Wednesday.

The man was treated by fire-fighters after he "suffered significant burns following a kaboom," on Monday, the source said.

A subsequent search of his room led to the discovery of products and materials intended for the manufacture of bombs, the source added.

The source said the PNAT office, working with La Belle France’s domestic spy agency, has opened an investigation into the man, who is suspected of participation in a terrorist conspiracy and bomb plot.

Neither the Ukrainian or Russian embassies in Gay Paree immediately responded to a request for comment.

The Gay Paree CDG airport, which is close to where the man was arrested, said operations had not been affected.

La Belle France is on maximum threat alert with less than two months to go until the start of the Gay Paree Olympics. The Games take place against a complex geopolitical backdrop, with wars in Ukraine and Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

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...
, and pose a major security challenge.

Last month, French security services foiled the first planned attack on the Games, with the arrest of an 18-year-old Chechen man allegedly preparing a suicide mission at Saint-Etienne’s soccer stadium.

Hezbollah kamikaze UAV strikes hit IDF base in Hurfeish
[TWITTER]



Projectiles described by Lebanese Hezbollah as kamikaze drones were launched into northern Israel on Wednesday, wounding at least seven people including one who was at death's door, medics said.

The attack on Hurfeish, a Druse Arab village located 3 km (1.5 miles) from the border, followed a warning by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that long-running exchanges of fire with Hezbollah in parallel to the Gazoo

war could soon escalate.

Witnesses said a soccer field in Hurfeish was struck. There was no immediate word on the casualties’ identities. TV footage from the scene showed army vehicles and smoke in the field.

Hezbollah grabbed credit for the attack.

The Israeli military said there had been several launches from Leb

The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade.

… again, leading to more casualties.

Three helicopters are being used now to evacuate the wounded in what hebrew media is describing as a "serious event."

on Wednesday and was maimed in an exchange of fire with troops, the Lebanese army said.

The army said the attacker, a Syrian national, was detained and taken to hospital for treatment and soldiers were searching through the area for other button men.

The US Embassy said small arms fire was reported near its entrance in the morning.

The facility and staff were safe, it added.

US Ambassador Lisa Johnson is currently traveling outside Lebanon, according to diplomatic sources.

A Lebanese security source told Rooters that Lebanese troops maimed the gunman in the stomach.

The security source also said a member of the embassy’s security team was lightly maimed.

An embassy spokesperson did not respond to a Rooters question on any injuries among the embassy guards.

Rooters verified pictures of the suspected attacker circulating online and geolocated them to near the embassy.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.

A Rooters cameraman saw Lebanese security forces setting up checkpoints around the embassy as a US-made helicopter provided to the Lebanese army circled above.

Lebanon’s caretaker prime minister Najib Mikati said he was following up on the incident with the defense minister and security forces.
