-Lurid Crime Tales-
Border officials discover drug-trafficking tunnel running from Mexico into California
[FoxNews] The 183-foot long tunnel was about 22 feet underground.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents uncovered an extensive tunnel connecting Mexico to California that may have served as part of a massive drug trafficking operation.

Homeland Security Investigations, a sub-division of ICE, discovered the 183-foot long tunnel in Mexicali, Baja California, around 22 feet underground near the international border. Working with Mexican authorities, HIS San Diego Task Force agents determined that a drug trafficking organization dug the tunnel.

"These types of tunnels enable drug traffickers to conduct illicit activities virtually undetected across the U.S.–Mexico border," said Cardell T. Morant, special agent in charge of HSI San Diego. "Discovering and shutting down these tunnels deals a major blow to drug trafficking organizations because it denies them the ability to smuggle drugs, weapons and people across the border."

The tunnel’s entrance is about three feet north of the border wall but has no exit on the U.S. side of the border, the agency said in a press release.

#2  With the dems Open Border policy, the tunnels have become redundant. I recommend they be re-purposed as nuclear waste storage sites.
Posted by: Besoeker || 08/09/2021 2:52 Comments || Top||

#3  The tunnel is incomplete, there is no exit.
The tunnel probably needed to go another couple hundred feet north to a safe house in the populated urban border trade town of El Centro surrounded by Imperial Valley agricultural lands.
In late January 2021 all of a sudden all digging stopped in the tunnel when the incoming president relaxed all immigration laws and coyotes turned to immigrants as pack mules.
Nothing but cob webs in the tunnel now.

-War on Police-
Texas cop killer gets death sentence after San Antonio detective's execution-style slaying
[FOXNEWS] A Texas man who fatally shot a San Antonio police officer twice in the head in 2016 was sentenced to death on Friday.

Otis McKane, 36, was found guilty of capital murder July 26 in the execution-style slaying of Detective Benjamin Marconi.

McKane claimed that Marconi, a 20-year veteran, was a random target of his anger but prosecutors said the defendant had been stalking the detective and planning his "heinous and unspeakable" murder, according to the San Antonio Express-News.

The Bexar County jury deliberated for 7 and a half hours Friday before recommending the sentence. It took less than 30 minutes for the jury to find him guilty, according to the Express-News.

McKane killed Marconi, 50, on a busy street in front of witnesses while the detective was writing a ticket during an overtime shift, the Express-News reported. The murder was caught on security-camera video.

As he was being taken to jail following the shooting, McKane told news hounds that he "lashed out at someone who didn’t deserve it" because he was upset with the court system. McKane said he was angry because he had not been allowed to see his son during a custody battle.

ATTACKED BAILIFF IN COURT
Extra sheriff's deputies surrounded McKane during the sentencing Friday after he attacked a bailiff on July 26 when jurors found him guilty. The jury could have recommended a sentence of life imprisonment without parole.

An appeal of the conviction and sentence is automatic.

McKane has an extensive record dating back to his teen years.

Afghanistan
Taliban say capital of Afghanistan's Takhar province seized
[NATION.PK] After marching on multiple northern cities, the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
in Afghanistan on Sunday said it seized Taluqan, the capital city of northern Takhar province next to Tajikistan.The group’s front man Zabihullah Mujahed shared several pictures and videos of the Lions of Islam hoisting the Taliban flag at the main square in Taluqan, a large and important city, freeing inmates from the prison and entering the provincial administration compound.

"Today, late (in the evening) the center of Takhar province (Taluqan) with all relevant offices (governor’s office, police headquarters, intelligence center, prison and all government installations) are won," he said in a statement that also instructed fighters not to enter peoples’ homes or make arrests.

Authorities confirmed assaults and said resistance is underway, while there was no immediate confirmation or rejection from the Afghan government.

Earlier, the advancing Taliban marched on at least three more scenic provincial capitals in northern Afghanistan a day after capturing Sheberghan, the capital of Jawzjan province.

500 Kg of Drugs Seized in Libya's Ajdabiya
[LIBYAREVIEW] The Ajdabiya Anti-Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances Branch seized a 500-kilogram (kg) shipment of narcotics heading from Sabha
...After the Libyan Civil War, Sabha grew in importance as a slave auctioning town. However, an investigation by the National Commission for Human Rights in Libya (NCHRL) revealed that while there was illegal slavery, reports were exaggerated, as slave auctions were rare and not made public. This was a great comfort to everyone but the slaves peddled in secret. The city was later seized by forces loyal to the Libyan National Army (LNA) and its leader Khalifa Haftar in January 2019, probably for its collection of MiG-25 aircraft....
to Tobruk.The branch stated that in the early hours of Saturday morning, the patrols of the Anti-Narcotics Bureau in the eastern region seized the quantity in a transport truck. This is the third within a month.

The Ajdabiya Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances Control Branch indicated, through its Facebook account, that the total seizures are estimated at 20,200 kg.

The Anti-Narcotics Branch emphasized that these confiscations were not by chance, but rather an integrated coordination effort between drug control branches and offices.

Notably, in May Niger police seized a record 17 tonnes of cannabis resin worth around $37 million in a shipment originating in Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers, a practice dating back to the heady human sacrifice days of Baal Moloch. In 2020 Hezbollahblew up a considerable portion of Beirut and many of its inhabitants when its ammonium nitrate faci8lity exploded. They blamed it on... somebody else. It wasn't them though. Trust them on that...
and bound for Libya, the front man for the West African nation’s anti-drugs trafficking agency said on Friday.

The drugs passed through the Togolese port of Lome before being transported by truck North to the Nigerien capital Niamey, over 1,000 km (621 miles) and two border crossings away, said front man Adili Toro.

Tunisia: Senior Ennahdha official placed under house arrest
[Al Jazeera] A bigwig from Tunisia’s Ennahdha party has been placed under house arrest over an alleged abuse of authority.

Anouar Maarouf became the most prominent member of the party to be targeted since President Kais Saied dismissed the prime minister and suspended parliament on July 25 in what Ennahdha termed a coup.

Maarouf was "informed by security forces that he has been placed under house arrest without providing him with a written copy or a justified order issued by the Minister of Interior, as stipulated by law", the Ennahdha party said in a statement on Friday, adding that it would appeal the decision.
The appeal is new news.
"It was an arbitrary decision that affects the right of movement, travel and freedom of expression."

The statement added that the party has instructed "its legal office to challenge this decision before the Administrative Court".

The interior ministry has not commented on the statement.

Maarouf was head of the Ministry of Communications and Technology from 2016 to 2020. President Saied had suggested that the ministry was manipulated by political parties for their own advantage.

Mozambique Soldiers Trap Civilians in Insurgent-Hit North
[AllAfrica] Mozambican security forces are preventing tens of thousands of civilians displaced by jihadist attacks around the northern town of Palma from moving to safer areas, Human Rights Watch said.

Most of these people fled their homes when 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....
-linked Lions of Islam launched coordinated attacks on Palma on March 24, killing dozens as they ransacked their way through the port town.

Many of the displaced sought refuge in the nearby village of Quitunda, close to a major gas project about five kilometers (three miles) from Palma, where HRW claims, in a report released Friday, they have been trapped by troops and ongoing fighting.

"Government security forces have imposed restrictions that have prevented tens of thousands from leaving, placing them at risk from fighting and aid shortages," HRW said in a statement, adding that civilians caught trying to flee were "physically assaulted."

Mozambique has been grappling with a homegrown insurgency terrorizing its gas-rich Cabo Delgado province since 2017.

The attack on Palma prompted other African countries to deploy troops to back the struggling Mozambique army.

HRW accuses Mozambique of restricting movement around Palma district, making it difficult for humanitarian groups to deliver aid and exposing civilians to renewed Death Eater attacks.

Army officials have defended the measures, claiming jihadists are hiding among civilians and aid workers, according to the watchdog.

"Soldiers didn't allow us to leave Quitunda, but there is nothing there, no food, no medicine, and the water is dirty," a 28-year-old man told HRW.

"I tried to flee Quitunda three times before. Soldiers caught me and whipped me hard," he added.

Defense ministry front man Custodio Massingue told AFP he was unaware of the allegations and that the government "distances itself from the reports."

Cabo Delgado's insurgency has displaced more than 800,000 people.

The violence has killed more than 2,800 people, half of them civilians, according to U.S. conflict tracker ACLED.

It has also set back multibillion-dollar gas exploration projects off the Afungi peninsula.

26 Chadian troops killed in suspected jihadist attack
[NATION.PK] At least 26 Chadian soldiers were killed in an attack by bully boyz in the troubled Lake Chad region, a senior local official said on Thursday. "Twenty-six members of the Chadian army fell on the field of honour, 14 others have been maimed, including eight seriously," the army’s front man General Azem Bermandoa Agouna told AFP.

"Several gunnies were neutralised and clean-up operations continue," he added. The region’s deputy prefect, Haki Djiddi, told AFP earlier that 24 soldiers were killed on Wednesday when Boko Haram
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
attacked them when they were resting after returning from patrol. Mahamat Idriss Deby, president of the military transition council since his father died in April during fighting with rebels, said the stakes are high. The soldiers’ deaths "recall the security challenges we are still facing in a part of our borders," Deby said.

"The heavy toll that we pay in this asymmetric war is bitter but it will not be in vain," he said. "We will make the terrorist hydra capitulate," he said.

Rwandan forces say seized control of Mozambique port from jihadists

"The port city of Mocimboa da Praia, a major stronghold of the insurgency for more than two years has been captured by Rwandan and Mozambican security forces," the Rwandan Defence Forces said in a tweet.

Minneapolis Greek Festival cancels 2021 event due to Uptown unrest
[FOX9] The Minneapolis Greek Festival says its 2021 Taste of Greece event won't go on next month as officials cite unrest in Uptown.In a message on the festival's website, officials say: "Due to the recent unrest in the Uptown district and the realization that we would be unable to find a successful solution to ensure the safety and security of our Festival guests, volunteers, and grounds, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Festival. We have every intent of holding our Festival next year."

The 2021 festival was scheduled to run from Friday, September 10 through Sunday, September 12. The 2022 schedule is tentatively scheduled for the weekend of September 9.

Uptown has been the site of regular protests and unrest since the shooting of Winston Smith in June. Smith was killed as a U.S. Marshals Task Force attempted to arrest him at a parking ramp of Girard Avenue.

Portland sees Antifa descend on Christian worship event
[FOXNEWS] Videos from Portland showed a crowd of demonstrators violent mostly peacefully shut down an event where Christians gathered to pray on the waterfront — before another clash Saturday afternoon involved Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
scists and alleged Proud Boys members throwing projectiles at each other on a city street.

Police officers did not intervene in either confrontation — besides a squad car sounding its siren just feet away.

The first instance of violence happened Saturday at an open-air event planned at Tom McCall Waterfront Park near the Battleship Oregon Memorial to be hosted by Artur Pawlowski, a traveling preacher who’s been arrested in Canada for holding in-person worship services in violation of coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
restrictions. Several Antifa Twitter accounts tweeted about the planned event, the Post Millennial reported, and videos posted online showed that a crowd of demonstrators dressed in black bloc attire showed up at the waterfront to confront worshippers.

Dozens of people carrying black umbrellas and shields are seen spraying red and yellow gas at the group of worshippers, as other Antifa members steal sound equipment, lawn chairs and wagons left across the lawn by families who had come to listen to the pastor speak.

"All Cops are B*******, in the name of Jesus," a male’s voice is heard saying during the melee.

Children, including toddlers, were in attendance at the worship event when the group of Antifa demonstrators began throwing projectiles, including eggs, one woman told a videographer at the scene.

"They threw a flash bomb into a group of kids who were out there," she said.

A male worshipper said a pastor had walked up to ask the group of demonstrators to stop -- but he was pepper sprayed. The woman is seen attending the pastor’s eyes covered by an orange substance.

The Portland Tribune reported that members of the far-right group, Proud Boys, later descended on the worship event and clashed with the Antifa members. Additional video circulated online by independent journalist Andy Ngo shows the festivities carried onto a nearby city street, and the alleged Proud Boys members, seen dressed in yellow and black garb, fired a paint ball gun at several Antifa members.

A squad car for the Portland Police Bureau pulls up and flashes its siren — but seemingly had no impact in stopping the confrontation. A man is heard yelling at the officer behind the wheel, "Do your job."

Once the groups converged at the waterfront, a fight broke out but the confrontation there was "over prior to any police response," Portland Police Bureau front man Derek Carmon told KOIN. "As the groups left, there was a report of another small fight that was over prior to police response. No arrests were made and no one came forward to report any crimes that we are aware of."

"Police had no interaction with either group today," Carmon added.

Screenshots shared by Ngo showed that another Antifa-affiliated Twitter account later tweeted that members threw the sound equipment into the Willamette River and stole sandwiches and water bottles belonging to the Christian group — before then giving them back out to the homeless.

India-Pakistan
With Bhatkal module crackdown, NIA arrests 2 top ISIS terrorists
A top ranking 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....
operative, was arrested along with another from Bhatkal, Karnataka. The two to be arrested are Jufri Jawhar Damudi and Ameen Zuhaib.

The arrests were carried out following a coordinated raid between the National Investigation Agency and Karnataka police.

Damudi was under the radar of the Central agencies since April 2020 for his active role in production and dissemination of ISIS propaganda monthly online magazine "Voice of Hind". Besides ISIS propaganda/media activity, he was also looking after logistical support including procurement of arms and explosives, funding for mujahideens and recruitment. He was in direct contact with Islamic State leaders in Khorasan (Afghanistan) and Syria.

He also instigated his cyber contacts to kill kufars (disbelievers), Police Personnel, Journalists etc and inflecting damage to temples and government properties.

On cyberspace, Abu Hajir Al Badri claimed to be based in Afghanistan/Pakistain and was taking all security precautions to evade his detection by Intelligence agencies. Despite his claim to be based in Khorasan/Pakistain on social media, it was assessed that 'Abu Hajir Al Badri' might be based in India and not Khorasan.

Based on this assessment and the leads developed through the revelations of Qasim Khurasani (arrested on July 11, 2021), further intelligence investigation by Indian central agencies in co-ordination with foreign agencies, the real identity of Abu Hajir Al Badri was established as Bhatkal-based Jufri Jawhar Damudi.

Thereafter, through deft fieldwork, the agencies managed to identify Jufri Jawhar Damudi (30 years) and one of his associates Ameen Zuhaib in Bhatkal. It was also established that Jufri Jawhar Damudi is younger brother of Adnan Hassan Damudi, who was arrested by NIA in 2017 in ISIS related cases.

Jufri Jawhar Damudi accepted his association with Afghanistan- Pakistain-based IS operatives and involvement in production and dissemination of IS propaganda magazine "Voice of Hind". During search by the teams of Central agencies, teams have recovered digital media devices and incriminating jihadi literature from the raided locations.

In the last one month, raids at 21 locations spread across Anantnag, Srinagar, Bandipore, Baramulla, Mangalore, Bangalore and Bhatkal resulted in 10 arrests from 3 separate modules of ISIS in India.

This Pan-India crackdown and back to back arrests of two prominent Islamic State (ISIS) operatives i.e Qasim Khurasani and Abu Hajir Al Badri is a major blow to Islamic State and these disruptions would degrade the ISIS network in India significantly.

#1  Seems like terrorist activities have been intensified under Covid.

#2  It's the dravidian communists down there, who have just fought off a BJP combine; they empower their criminals and moslems enough to give them the confidence to challenge New Delhi. Just like the commies in WB and the goons in Maha.

That being said, a hindu front that does not actively fight moslems or avenge hindu victims, but exists to defend rights of temple trusts and silly rituals and dogma, deserves no sympathy.

Major NIA crackdown on banned Jamaat-e-Islami in Jammu and Kashmir
[GREATERKASHMIR] In a major crackdown in Jammu and Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....

Iraq
Kirkuk mother, bodybuilder dies in supposed ISIS ‘revenge’ attack
Medya Feizullah, an award-winning bodybuilder and mother of six, died in a Sulaimani hospital on Saturday after being shot by an unknown gunman — suspected to be linked to 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....
(ISIS) - in Kirkuk two weeks ago.
Feizullah, 42, and her husband Mohammed Shamsaddin, are both bodybuilders living in the Kurdistan neighbourhood of Kirkuk. She was at home with her four daughters when an unknown gunman attacked them in the evening of July 27.

Their nine-year-old daughter Helin told Rudaw that her father and two brothers were out of the house at the time of the attack.

"He saw that there were no men in our house. He returned with his pistol. My mother was screaming in the front yard. She believed he might be a terrorist, thinking he had come to attack all the houses. Later, she learned that he had come only to us," she said, saying her mother was shot "several times."

Feizullah was first hospitalized for six days at the Azadi hospital in Kirkuk,
... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time...
before being sent to Sulaimani in a critical condition. A friend of Shamsaddin said she was shot nine times.

"We were at the gym with Shamsaddin and his sons about 10 pm. He received a call about what happened, and when we arrived at his house, the children were really frightened and nervous. His wife and daughter were already taken to the hospital. One man had carried out the attack," the friend, who prefers to remain anonymous, told Rudaw English on Sunday.

Brig. Gen. Kawa Hassan, Shamsaddin's stepbrother and Kirkuk’s former intelligence chief, believes that the perpetrator is an ISIS member who wanted to avenge the killing of five members of a Kirkuk sleeper cell last year.

A house owned by Shamsaddin in Kirkuk’s Dibis district was used as part of the operation to kill the ISIS members, he said.

"ISIS members are definitely responsible for the attack. I have 100 percent proof that they were spying on my brother at night so that they could kill him at home. When they came to his home, he was not there. They shot his wife instead. We know they are from outside the Dibis area. They have a lot of sleeper cells in Kirkuk," said Hassan.

Shamsaddin called on security forces in Kirkuk to find the perpetrators.

"I urge the security forces to find the murderer as quickly as possible. It is their duty to do so. What a shame to open fire at a woman and her daughters at home at 10 pm. What kind of coward would do this?" he said.

Security forces are still investigating the murder.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
5 Bedouin indicted on terror charges over violence during May clashes
[IsraelTimes] Suspects accused of singling out Jewish drivers on Route 31 and pelting them with stones, blocking road with burning tires amid conflict with Gaza Strip.

Five Bedouin residents of the town of Kuseife in the south of the country were indicted on terror charges Sunday for alleged acts of violence in May during an armed conflict between Israel and the Gazoo
...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 an iron fist by Hamaswith 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. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip.

The incidents happened on Route 31, between Beersheba and the Dead Sea, on the night of May 11-12, the Israel Police said in a statement.

A joint effort by the police and the Shin Bet security service brought about the arrest of suspects starting in mid-July. Though the statement did not say how many were arrested, five suspects were indicted for acts of terror committed on Route 31 between Shoket Junction and the city of Arad, close to an overpass.

They were named as Abdalla Nesarsah, Shadi Nesarsah, Nihad Nesarsah, Salaman al-Saraiah, and Naggi al-Saraiah, all Israeli citizens in their 20s and residents of Kuseife.

According to the indictments the suspects went to the overpass, some of them masked, and waved Paleostinian flags and threw burning tires down onto the road to block it. The suspects also allegedly threw stones at passing buses and cars on Route 31, causing damage.

Prosecutors say that some of the suspects checked the vehicles before attacking them, targeting only those that had Jews, but not Arabs who signaled their ethnicity by, among other things, playing loud Arab music.

From May 10-21 Israel fought against the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, terror group in the Gaza Strip. In response to thousands of rockets fired by the Paleostinian terror group at Israeli cities, the IDF carried out hundreds of bombing raids on Hamas targets in the coastal enclave.

The fighting also sparked mass unrest in mixed Arab-Jewish locales in Israel.
