[NYPOST] A Baltimore police officer has died after being removed from life support one week after she was shot while sitting in her patrol car.
The Baltimore Police Department said Thursday that Officer Keona Holley’s health had been deteriorating in recent days and the family made the difficult decision to end life support. She died shortly thereafter.
Two men — Elliot Knox, 31, and Travon Shaw, 32 — have been arrested and charged in her shooting, and a second shooting soon afterward that left a man dead.
Holley, 39. was on duty in her patrol car when she was shot about 1:30 a.m. Dec. 16 in southern Baltimore.
After Holley’s shooting, police allege the two men went to a southwest Baltimore neighborhood about 10 miles away and shot and killed 38-year-old Justin Johnson.
It’s not clear what prompted the shootings.

Drones continue attacking cities of #Tigray, hundreds of civilians were killed only today. Both #UAE & #Turkey provide illegitimate PM #AbiyAhmedAli with drones which massacre civilians.
Commentary by Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] After being defeated in early December in the battles south of Dessiye, Tigray's army actually completed the process of retreating to the territory of its own province, leaving almost all the territories of Ethiopia occupied in the fall.
The Ethiopian army advanced to the borders of Tigray and even started fighting again on its territory for the city of Alamata. The cities of Tigray are subjected to strong strikes by planes and drones, several dozen civilians are killed a day, and therefore the leadership of the NPLT accuses Ethiopia and the "Nobel laureate" of carrying out genocide.
Ethiopia govt says no further advance into Tigray
[AlAhram] Æthiopia's government said on Friday that its troops would not advance further into the war-torn region of Tigray but warned that the decision could be overturned if "territorial illusory sovereignty" was threatened.
The announcement comes days after the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) rebel group declared a retreat to their Tigray stronghold, and signals a pause in fighting following a series of battlefield victories claimed by the government.
Although unconfirmed, the TPLF pullout from the Amhara and Afar regions had raised hopes there would be talks to end a 13-month conflict that has killed thousands and left parts of the country on the brink of famine.
On Friday, the government communication service released a statement saying federal forces had secured eastern Amhara and Afar and been ordered to "vigilantly remain in areas under our control".
"The Æthiopian government has decided not to command its forces to further advance into the Tigray region," it said in the statement shared on Twitter.
The temporary halt to fighting may help lower the temperature after months of battles that have seen both sides claim major territorial gains.
At one point the rebels claimed to be only 200 kilometres (125 miles) by road from the capital Addis Ababa, sparking alarm among foreign governments who urged their citizens to leave the country as soon as possible.
But since Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed -- the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize winner -- headed to the front last month, according to state media, the government has claimed to have retaken a string of key towns.
The government has dismissed Monday's withdrawal announcement by the TPLF as a cover-up for military setbacks.
Communications have been cut in the conflict zone and access for journalists is restricted, making it difficult to verify battlefield claims.
The fighting in Africa's second most populous nation has displaced more than two million people and more than nine million are in need of food aid, according to UN estimates.
There have been reports of massacres, mass rapes and other atrocities by all sides, and the UN Human Rights Council last week ordered a probe into a wide range of alleged abuses, a move condemned by Addis Ababa.
The war broke out in November last year when Abiy sent troops into Tigray to topple the TPLF, accusing its fighters of attacking army camps.
He vowed a swift victory, but the TPLF mounted a shock comeback, recapturing most of Tigray by June and then advancing into Afar and Amhara.
[LIBYAREVIEW] On Thursday, the Libyan National Army (LNA) launched a military operation in Sebha targeting a criminal hotbed. This took place in an area known as the Indian Company Buildings located in the al-Tayuri neighbourhood near the airport.
Eyewitnesses confirmed that an LNA-affiliated convoy surrounded the building, and closed all roads leading to the city.
Well-informed sources pointed out that the operation was targeting illegal immigrants colonists colonists, and drug pushers. This area is notorious for being controlled by gangs, drug smugglers, and human traffickers, most of whom are foreigners.
Earlier this year, Major General Khaled al-Mahjoub the Director of the Moral Guidance Department at the LNA revealed that there were several attempts to expel mercenaries from southern Libya.
He claimed that The Sick Man of Europe The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... has an interest in the continuing instability in Libya.
Al-Mahjoub stressed that they were "securing all areas of southern Libya," noting that there are serious "attempts by mercenaries to destabilise southern Libya."
LNA Spokesman, Ahmed al-Mismari announced that local forces from the Sebha Military Region had confronted subversive elements.
Al-Mismari claimed that these subversive elements "receive their orders directly from the Ottoman Ottoman Turkish intelligence, which leads operations to support the Brotherhood and bully boy groups in Libya."
[EN.ALGHADEERTV.NET] The Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... i army and popular committees have taken control of strategic areas in the northern province of Jawf on the border with Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century... Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years. It produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. That's three statements. Only the first is subjective.... ’s al-Mayadeen television network cited field sources on Friday as saying that the Yemeni forces are tightening their grip on the area of Alyutamah, the administrative center of Jawf’s Khabb wa ash Sha’af district.
Alyutamah, the last stronghold of Saudi-backed hard boyz in Jawf, was captured by the Yemeni forces overnight, according to a report by Arabi 21 news website.
Alyutamah is strategically important as it lies near the border with Saudi Arabia and as an international road, which leads to the Albuqa border crossing that connects Yemen and Saudi Arabia, passes through it.
Albuqa border crossing lies in the eastern part of Yemen’s Sa’ada province, and opposite al-Khadhra border crossing which is located in southern Saudi Arabia.
Later on Friday, al-Mayadeen reported that the Yemeni forces also took control of the strategic international road.
Saudi Arabia and a number of its regional allies — including the United Arab Emirates (UAE) — launched a brutal war against Yemen in March 2015.
The war was launched to eliminate Yemen’s Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... Ansarullah movement and reinstall former Yemeni president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a staunch ally of Riyadh.
The war, accompanied by a tight siege, has failed to reach its goals, but it has killed hundreds of thousands of Yemeni people.
The UN says more than 24 million Yemenis are in dire need of humanitarian aid, including 10 million suffering from extreme levels of hunger. The world body also refers to the situation in Yemen as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
The Saudi war has also taken a heavy toll on the country’s infrastructure, destroying hospitals, schools, and factories.
[IsraelTimes] Victim called police before being assaulted by the man, but was told the case did not sound urgent
Police in London said Friday they were searching for a man accused of injuring a Jewish man in an antisemitic attack during the Hanukkah holiday earlier this month.
The man was accused of approaching the victim in West Hampstead and making antisemitic comments at him, including that he wanted "to kill my first Jew," according to Antisemitism.org. He also shouted aggressively at a young woman who expeditiously departed at a goodly pace, and tore down a public menorah.

[Breitbart] The Polish government says migrants colonists are attacking their border patrol with "full aggression" on the Belarusian frontier, arming themselves with a variety of makeshift weapons.
"Although the numbers [attempting to cross] change, the methods remain the same — migrants colonists, always in groups, encouraged and directly aided by Belarusian services — storm the Polish border with full aggression," said Stanisław Żaryn, Director of the National Security Department, in an update on the border crisis received by Breitbart London.
"Stones and rubble delivered by Belarusians, logs, metal poles from destroyed border fencing are used as weapons against the Polish border patrols," Żaryn said, sharing several tweets from Polish government accounts from recent days showing the damage done to border fortifications by would-be illegal immigrants colonists and footage of Polish forces being attacked and verbally abused.
Żaryn noted that the "hybrid operation by the regime of A[lexander] Lukashenko, with a silent support of the Kremlin" — as Poland and its EU and NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants... allies see the crisis — is persisting "regardless of the fact that it has become less spectacular" than it was in November; indeed he later added that the "attacks on our border have become more aggressive in recent days," if anything.
The migrant crisis on NATO’s eastern frontier, which also afflicts the Baltic States of Lithuania and Latvia, is widely regarded as having been engineered by Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, who has allowed people to fly into his country from the Middle East in large numbers as "tourists" so they can use the former Soviet Socialist Republic as a staging post to sneak over the EU’s external border.
This destabilising "hybrid aggression" is punishment for the EU in general and Poland and the Baltics in particular for having placed sanctions on Belarus and offered asylum to Lukashenko’s opponents and critics, which were stepped up after he used his air force to effectively hijack a passenger jet flying from Greece to Lithuania earlier this year.
The Poles have not managed to stop every attempting crossing, but have been far more robust than some other European countries, and recently announced that they are working with "representatives of Iraq and Congo in the procedure of identification of those foreigners who, having managed to illegally enter Poland from Belarus without any ID documents, have been detained and placed in centres kept by the Polish authorities" — presumably with a view to quickly deporting them.

[Breitbart] A Dutch court on Friday imposed a 4-year prison sentence on a 41-year-old man convicted of attempted murder for firing gunshots at the Saudi embassy in The Hague last year after he was refused a visa to travel to Mecca.
The man, whose identity was not released in line with Dutch privacy rules, used an automatic weapon to fire 29 shots into the embassy building in the early morning hours of Nov. 12, 2020, his 40th birthday. Nobody was hurt.
According to prosecutors, the defendant was desperate to make a pilgrimage to the Islamic holy site Mecca, an important component of the Moslem faith.
A security guard was present at the time of the attack. The court found the man guilty of attempted murder, as he was aware that the building was guarded, even during hours when the embassy was closed.
[AlAhram] At least four migrants colonists died after their boat was grounded on an islet north of the Greek island of Antikythera on Thursday, the Greek coastguard said.
Some 90 migrants colonists are currently stranded on the islet but cannot be evacuated before early Friday because of poor weather conditions, state television ... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
said.
Several coasties vessels have been deployed in a search and rescue operation.
Thursday's shipwreck came the day after a dinghy carrying migrants colonists capsized off the island of Folegandros, killing at least three people.
Thirteen people were rescued, while dozens remain missing, Greek authorities said.
Survivors gave conflicting accounts, some telling authorities there were originally 32 people aboard, while others put the number at around 50, a coastguard official told AFP.
The UN refugee agency UNHCR said the Folegandros shipwreck was the worst in the Aegean Sea this year.
"This shipwreck is a painful reminder that people continue to embark on perilous voyages in search of safety," said Adriano Silvestri, the UNHCR's assistant representative in Greece.
The UNHCR estimates that more than 2,500 people have died or gone missing at sea in their attempt to reach Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... from January through November this year.
Nearly one million people, mainly Syrian refugees, arrived in the EU in 2015 after crossing to Greek islands close to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
[Breitbart] Around 800 migrants aboard three different NGO migrant “taxi” transports are currently awaiting European port access after being picked up in the Mediterranean Sea.
An estimated 788 migrants are reported to be aboard the three vessels belonging to three NGOs, with 458 aboard the Geo Barents, which is operated by Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières), 216 aboard Sea-Eye’s Sea-Eye-4, and 114 on SOS Mediterranee’s ship Ocean Viking.
The NGOs have been waiting for several days to be granted port access by Italy, with Sea-Eye stating earlier in the week that a small number of migrants have already been taken into care by Italian authorities due to their poor health.
“Some of them have been at sea for a week. The EU doesn’t even remember its values at Christmas time,” the NGO alleged, claiming that “many adults and children are sick, injured and suffering tremendously. Why are you making these people wait?”
NGO migrant transports seldom if ever take migrants to African ports much closer to where they pick their passengers up than Europe.
The situation with the NGOs comes as migrants continue to land in boats on the small Italian island of Lampedusa, with 340 people arriving within a 24-hour period on Thursday.
The migrants on the boats are said to mainly originate from Africa, although some Bangladeshi nationals have also been identified among them.
Until last week, Lampedusa had seen a brief pause in migrant landings but, within a 48-hour period, around 500 migrants inundated the island, which is located between Tunisia and the larger Italian island of Sicily. At least one migrant, a woman who had travelled with her 14-year-old son, was found dead aboard one of the boats.
The activities of migrant taxi NGOs, which have dropped off thousands of migrants in Italy this year, have been criticised by many politicians in Italy, as well as abroad.
French presidential candidate and leader of the populist National Rally (RN) party Marine Le Pen linked the NGO activity to people-trafficking and modern slavery earlier this year.
“The trafficking of human beings organised by smugglers in the Mediterranean and encouraged under the guise of misguided humanism by NGOs funded by the European Union is part of this modern slavery,” Ms Le Pen declared.

[An Nahar] The Lebanese judge leading investigations into last year's Beirut port blast, Tarek Bitar, has been forced to stop work over a lawsuit filed by ex-ministers he had summoned for interrogation, an official said. The suspension is the fourth since Tarek Bitar was chosen to lead investigations in February.
It comes two weeks since Bitar was cleared to resume work, after a series of court challenges raised by politicians derailed his efforts.
On Thursday, Bitar was informed of a lawsuit submitted by politicians Ghazi Zoaiter and Ali Hassan Khalil -- both members of the Amal movement -- which forced him to pause the probe until a ruling is issued, a court official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
The total number of lawsuits against Bitar now stands at 18, the official said, most of which were filed by officials he is seeking to interrogate on suspicion of criminal negligence.
Rights groups and relatives of blast victims have repeatedly condemned what they have described as blatant political interference in the investigation.
They say it aims to preserve a culture of political impunity in a country where even liquidations and bombings can go unpunished.
The August 4, 2020 explosion was caused by a huge stockpile of ammonium nitrate fertilizer that was stored haphazardly at Beirut port for years.
Top political and security officials knew of the dangers posed by the shipment but failed to take action.
The powerful Iran-backed Hizbullah ...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... is leading demands to remove Bitar.
