[ABCNEWS.GO] The suspect in this week's racially motivated shooting rampage in Fresno entered a courtroom early Friday shouting that natural disasters striking America will increase.
...the slightly schizophrenic, former Nation of Islam jailbird who had veered into voodoo and hated whites. His name is sometimes written as Kori Ali Muhammed...
then shouted twice during a minute-long hearing: "Let black people go in reparations."
He was charged Thursday with killing unarmed security guard Carl Williams at a Motel 6 a week earlier.
Authorities say Williams was the first of four killings by Muhammad. Police say he told them that learning he was wanted for the Williams killing spurred him to try to kill as many white people as possible before he was caught.
Fresno County Superior Court Judge W. Kent Hamlin assigned a doctor to examine Muhammad. He set bail at $2.6 million.
He's due to return for arraignment on May 12.
Muhammad is accused of the killings Tuesday of three other white men.

[Wash Times] Defense Secretary James Mattis said Thursday the decision to drop the "mother of all bombs" on Islamic State targets in eastern Afghanistan was a deafening signal to American enemies and allies alike that Washington will pull no punches against the international terror group.
Up until the April 13 strike in Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province, Mr. Mattis was receiving almost daily battlefield updates on clashes between U.S., local forces and those tied to the Afghan faction of the terror group, he told reporters in Egypt.
"There was no surprise in terms of the effect of that [strike] at all," Mr. Mattis said Thursday. "The battle was going on, and we were going to use what was necessary to break ICIER. And we’ve made that very clear in every theater where we’re up against ISIS." Mr. Mattis declined to comment on the number of enemy killed in the attack, saying he did not want to equate success or defeat "by quantifying the number of enemy killed on the battlefield," citing the "corrosive effect of that metric" going back to the Vietnam War.
Over 90 members of Afghan ISIS cell, dubbed Islamic State in Iraq and Syria-Khorasan province or ISIS-K, were killed, according to local reports. The mission has proved controversial in Kabul, with former President Hamid Karzai sharply condemning the use of such a powerful explosive on Afghan territory.

[Ynet] The shocking video circulated by the Moslem Brüderbund shows what appear to be gunnies in uniform removing civilians from a military vehicle before shooting them to death at point blank range; Egyptian media and regime deny allegations.
A channel affiliated with the Moslem Brüderbund, who are opposed to the rule of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, published shocking footage Thursday of Egyptian soldiers executing prisoners in the Sinai.
In a disturbing video, several uniformed and gunnies are shown removing civilians from a military vehicle before shooting them in cold blood.
It is unclear when the events depicted took place, but the video is circulating around social media networks.
The video showed a soldier picking up a weapon lying next to a body before shooting one of the civilians in the head. According to the channel, soldiers then placed the weapon next to the body in order to make it appear that the man was armed.
Additionally, the Moslem Brüderbund affiliated channel claimed that the bodies in the video are identical to those published by a front man for the Egyptian military in December. The photos published on the front man's Facebook page were intended to show the el-Sisi regime's progress against bandidosmurderous Moslems in the Sinai Peninsula.
However, a woman is only as old as she admits... Egyptian media affiliated with the regime were quick to reject the allegations and cited several explanations in order to prove that the video was a mere fabrication aimed at tarnishing the Egyptian army.
Egyptian news website al-Bawaba reported that the Arabic spoken in a conversation between one of the Egyptian soldiers and one of the alleged executioners was not in the Egyptian dialect. They also claimed that the uniforms of the military were not the same, indicating that the video appeared to be fabricated.
The same channel that circulated the video, which broadcasts outside of Egypt, published a number of reports in recent years aimed at embarrassing the el-Sisi regime.
One such video included a conversation that allegedly took place between Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry and Yitzhak Molcho, an envoy of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The two were apparently discussing transferring the islands of Tiran and Sanafir.
The Egyptian army is currently engaged in operations to rid the Sinai of ISIS murderous Moslems, who have established a presence in the area, periodically firing rockets at Israel and attacking Egyptian government forces.

[AnNahar] Russian authorities said Friday they had posthumously stripped the suspected St. Petersburg metro jacket wallah of his citizenship.
The interior ministry said in a statement that 22-year-old suspected suicide bomber Akbarjon Djalilov, a Russian national born in Central Asian Kyrgyzstan, had posthumously been stripped of his Russian citizenship.
Djalilov's father has also been deprived of his Russian citizenship because he provided false information on his application, the ministry said.
The move comes as Russia raises the possibility of taking away the passports of naturalized citizens accused of involvement with the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... jihadist group.
No one has grabbed credit for the Saint Petersburg attack, but the authorities said they are probing ties to IS jihadists, who have threatened to strike Russia in Dire Revenge for its intervention in Syria.
Earlier Friday a woman injured in the bombing died in hospital, taking the corpse count from the attack to 15.
The region's deputy governor Anna Mityanina said a woman born in 1960 had died from serious injuries sustained in the April 3 blast which destroyed an underground train.
Another 23 people are still in hospital, four of them in a serious condition, she said.
Ten men from Central Asia have been detained in connection with the bombing, including Kyrgyz-born Abror Azimov, who officials say was one of the organizers.
Both he and his elder brother Akram -- who the FSB security service alleges was in contact with global terror groups -- are in jug.
FSB head Alexander Bortnikov told news hounds on Thursday that the agency was close to establishing who ordered the bombing, Russian news agencies reported.

Stripped citizenship and therefore stripped the associated priveleges and protections. The pro-illegal "immigrant" camp here ought to think about this. Aliens and immigrants should have some protections, but not enjoy full citizen status.
The weekly also says that the German Federal Prosecutor’s Office has already opened criminal cases against 70 Afghan refugees after verifying their statements. Six asylum seekers have been already arrested, the media reports, adding that legal action against some of the suspects will be initiated next week.
However, it is still unclear if all refugees who declared themselves Taliban fighters indeed fought for the extremists or had links to any radical group. According to Der Spiegel, the German authorities suspect that some asylum seekers may be seeking to boost their prospects of receiving asylum in Germany in this way, as affiliation with the Taliban is punishable with the death penalty in Afghanistan.
In November 2016, it was reported that the German authorities planned to send home some 12,000 Afghans as they considered the security situation in Afghanistan safe enough. Under such circumstances, the refugees might try to indicate that it is not safe for them to be sent back because they would face imminent death at the hands of the authorities.
However, German security services expect a surge in anti-terrorist investigations against alleged Taliban fighters in addition to the inquiries, which were already launched against the members of Islamic State (IS, former ISIS/ISIL) terrorist group in Germany.
[YAHOO] Filing on foot past Iraqi troops, dozens of exhausted people walked across the bridge over the Tigris River, at a crossing approximately 50 miles from Erbil on the road outside djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , right before sunset.
Rain in the northern part of the country flooded the river and Iraqi soldiers were forced to disassemble at least two temporary bridges on the road to Mosul. Many of the bridges in northern Iraq had been destroyed since the rise of ISIS, which still holds at least 25 percent of Mosul. And after the flood subsided it took Iraqi soldiers nearly two full days to reassemble one of the bridges.
Civilians attempting to reach safety in East Mosul from the ISIS-controlled western part have to head southeast out of the city to cross the Tigris...

[PJ] Taylor Force was an American student who was killed by a Palestinian terror attack in Jaffa, Israel, in 2016. A reporter asked a Palestinian Authority representative at the United Nations whether he thought it is just that the terrorist's family is receiving payments from his government. His answer will not baffle anyone who has been saying for years that the Palestinian Authority is a state sponsor of terror. He called the killers "martyrs" and "victims." This obscenity is proof that the United Nations should not be spending all their time condemning Israel, but should actually be doing their job of protecting human rights and targeting hostile regimes.
[IsraelTimes] As Marwan Barghouti-led protest by some 1,200-1,300 inmates enters fifth day, one prisoner with preexisting illness hospitalized.
Some 100 Fatah security prisoners have abandoned their hunger strike as of Friday morning, according to the Israel Prisons Service.
Hundreds of other Paleostinian prisoners, however, have joined the strike since it began on Monday, bringing the total number of inmates who have refused food in protest of their conditions to 1,200-1,300.
According to the IPS, a Paleostinian man who had a preexisting heart condition was transferred to an Israeli hospital for treatment. The Paleostinian news site Ma’an named the prisoner as Said Musallam and reported that several other hunger-strikers have also been hospitalized.
The hunger strike has been led by popular Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti, who is serving five life sentences for murder over his role orchestrating terror attacks against Israeli citizens during the Second Intifada. He began to call for a strike after talks between prisoners’ representatives and the Israel Prisons Service on improving jail conditions reached an impasse. Those talks began more than a year and a half ago.
Among the demands from Barghouti and the prisoners are the resumption of a second monthly visit by family members (a benefit that was cancelled by the International Committee of the Red Thingy due to budget cuts), the prevention of family meetings being cancelled for security reasons, and the restoration of academic studies and matriculation exams to prisoners. Other demands include more television channels being available in cells, and cell phones in security wings.
Paleostinian Prisoners Club head Qadura Fares told AFP on Thursday that Israel would allow all the strikers, including Barghouti, access to lawyers, in a reversal of its previous position.
Access to lawyers had been prevented following the start of the strike, Paleostinian officials said, with Barghouti moved to solitary confinement.
The Israel Prisons Service said it was acting under its rules, without elaborating further.
Some 6,500 Paleostinians are currently detained by Israel for a range of terror offenses and crimes. Around 500 are held under administrative detention, which allows for imprisonment without charge.
Paleostinian prisoners have previously mounted hunger strikes, but rarely on such a scale.
The evacuation of Syrian civilians and fighters from four besieged towns, part of a Qatari-mediated swap deal between the warring sides, resumed on Friday after a two-day halt, regime media and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Five buses carrying rebels and their relatives from towns in Zabadani and surrounding areas near the capital Damascus left a transit point outside Aleppo city where they had been waiting to cross into rebel territory in Idlib province in the northwest, regime media said.
Meanwhile, ten of the 45 buses carrying people from the rebel-encircled Shi’ite towns of al-Fua and Kefraya arrived in Aleppo city, which is under the control of Bashar al-Assad’s regime.
Thousands of evacuees from the two Shi’ite towns have been stranded for two days at a second nearby staging area outside Aleppo, where scores of people were killed on Saturday in a bomb attack on an evacuation convoy.
Dozens of armed rebels were on Friday guarding the buses at Rashidin for fear of another attack.
The Britain-based Observatory said the 48-hour suspension was due to rebel demands for the regime to free 750 prisoners as part of the agreement.
The war monitor said it remained unclear if authorities had released the prisoners.
Under the deal, thousands of rebels and civilians have been moved out of Zabadani and Madaya, which have long been under siege by pro-regime forces, mainly Lebanon’s “Hezbollah.” They departed for Idlib, bringing the two towns near Damascus under regime control.
In exchange, thousands of civilians and pro-regime militants were moved out of al-Fua and Kefraya, besieged by rebel groups in Idlib.
Asharq Al-Awsat has learned that Qatar accepted the mediation in order to secure the release of its abducted nationals in Iraq.
The Qataris were kidnapped on December 16, 2015 from a desert hunting party in the province of Muthanna in Iraq.
Two Iraqi officials— a government and another security official — confirmed details of the release to the AP. They said the handover had been delayed for several days in part because Iraqi officials did not want ransom money exchanged or negotiations for their release to happen on Iraqi soil. The three officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk to the media.
A person involved in the negotiations told the AP that 11 of the captives were members of the Al Thani family. He also said Qatar paid tens of millions of dollars to Shiite groups, and to the al-Qaida-linked Levant Liberation Committee and Ahrar al-Sham, which are involved in the evacuation and transfer of detainees. Both groups were part of an armed opposition alliance that swept through Syria's Idlib province, seizing it from government control in 2015 and laying siege to the two pro-government villages.
Speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the situation, the negotiator said the Qatari group was being held by Iraqi Shiite militia Kata'eb Hezbollah. The group officially denies it was behind the kidnapping and no other group has publicly claimed responsibility for the abduction.
