California man cited for driving car into Trump parade and sparking viral fight
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] An altercation reportedly involving a man driving his car into a caravan of Trump supporters and then fighting with another man is currently being investigated by police in central Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,.

According to KEYT-TV Santa Barbara, a man was arrested on Sunday after driving his car into a pro-Trump parade after shouting profanities and throwing at least one bottle at parade attendees.

A video posted on social media appears to show 20-year-old Jacob Garza of Santa Maria, California, speeding through a stop sign in a BMW
...a Beemer? Was it Daddy’s? How very proletarian of him...
to engage with the Trump parade and ultimately being wrestled to the ground by a Trump supporter after crashing his car.

Garza reportedly caused the other vehicle to turn on its side, and two occupants of the vehicle were transported to a nearby hospital, with one suffering from a broken arm.

"Welcome to MAGA country motherf---er!" one man can be heard saying to Garza after wrestling him to the ground.

Afghanistan
Seven Killed in Three Separate Incidents in Kabul in 24 Hours
[ToloNews] At least seven people, including security force members and civilians, were killed in three separate incidents in the city of Kabul in the last 24 hours, according to police.

One of the incidents happened in Lab-e-Jar area in the north of Kabul on Wednesday morning in which an IED blast targeted a police vehicle and killed three coppers and a civilian, police said in a statement.

The IED targeted a vehicle carrying Abdul Nasir Danish, a unit commander of the PD11, police said.

Another incident happened in the east of Kabul in which an officer of the 203 Thunder Army Corps and his lover companion were killed in an attack by unknown gunnies in the east of Kabul near Bagrami district, according to Kabul police.

Interior Ministry front man Tariq Aryan said that Bagrami police chief was swiftly fired from the job over negligence and several other senior police personnel were asked to appear for investigation.

In another incident, a teenage girl was killed after a group of gunnies opened fire on each other after a verbal clash.

The Afghan First Vice President Amrullah Saleh said that police in PD12 of Kabul arrested two suspects who were keeping illegal arms.

Saleh said that Allah Gul Mujahid, an MP from Kabul, tried to intimidate the police commander in the area over the arrests.

"How powerful this first vice president is? I represent the people of Kabul, I don’t care about anyone. There are around 100,000 people under my command," Mujahid said in the parliament session on Wednesday, reacting to the remarks by the first vice president.

Kabul has witnessed a dramatic rise in crime incidents and assassinations in recent weeks.

Critics blame intelligence failures and lack of commitment by relevant institutions to fix the fragile situation in the nation’s capital.

Saleh has said that the findings of the National Directorate of Security
...the Afghan national intel agency...
(NDS) show that members of the civil society institutions have become soft targets of the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
.

The Taliban has not commented on Saleh’s statement.

Africa North
6 dead, 110 saved in Mediterranean migrant shipwreck
[AlAhram] Six people died after a Europe-bound rubber boat carrying 116 migrants colonists and asylum-seekers fell apart in the central Mediterranean Sea, a Spanish humanitarian group said Wednesday.

The Open Arms rescue ship had been searching for the boat in distress for hours before finally locating it Wednesday morning in international waters north of Libya. The NGO had just finished distributing life vests and masks to the passengers to begin transferring them to safety when the flimsy boat split in two, throwing them into cold waters.

Rescuers pulled out 111 people, including two infants, alive and recovered five bodies. But one of the two infants, a six-month-old girl, died after being brought on board the rescue ship, Open Arms tweeted on their official account.

Open Arms spokesperson Laura Lanuza told The AP that the NGO has asked Italian and Maltese maritime authorities for the immediate evacuation of six people at death's door, including two babies and their mothers and a pregnant woman. Lanuza said the NGO had already rescued 88 migrants colonists the night before and was headed to a third distress call.

Wednesday's shipwreck was the second recorded this week in waters north of Libya, a key transit point for migrants colonists from Africa and the Middle East. On Tuesday another 13 migrants colonists died, including a child, the UN said.

So far this year more than 575 people have perished in the Central Mediterranean trying to reach Europe, according to the International Organization for Migration.
Khaama Press adds:
Some 100 people had been travelling for about two days on a dinghy that collapsed in international waters off Libya, where it was assisted by Open Arms, the Spanish NGO said on Wednesday.

#1  At least his hair is clean and brushed, and his skin is clear, suggesting adequate attention to personal hygiene — unlike most of his comrades. I would suggest looking into his connections to see if he is management cadre rather than cannon fodder.
