Murcek, there are these things called "airplanes".
By coming to the US, they should have invalidated their claims for refugee status. They had to pass through at least one safe nation closer to home, where they could have claimed refugee status.

[Garowe] The Somali National Army [SNA] on Wednesday seized an explosive-laden vehicle, a move that may have as well prevented a possible attack in the country amid ongoing Ramadan, a holy month in the Islamic calendar.
State media reported that the vehicle was seized in Guriel town in the Galgadud region of Galmadug state, but the intention of the occupants was not immediately known. Guriel town has been a battleground for security forces and al-Shabaab ...... Somalia's version of the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... , functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... hard boys.
The Somali National Army said two occupants of the vehicle were immediately arrested and ate currently being grilled by authorities. It's not clear where the men were driving the vehicle to but preliminary reports show they could be al-Shabaab members.
"Somali National Army seized an explosive-laden vehicle and 2 male occupants on the outskirts of Guri-el town in Galgadud region in the early hours of Wednesday. The 2 men are now in Police custody for further investigation," local security officials confirmed to State Media.
The army along with security partners from African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... Transition Mission in Somalia [ATMIS] have been conducting operations against the snuffies across the country for months now. A fortnight ago, the snuffies killed at least 60 people across the country.
Also, the US Africa Command is contemplating deploying troops to Somalia, over a year after their exit. Reports indicate most members of the Pentagon and those from the Senate want the army to be redeployed to the Horn of Africa nation to help in the al-Shabaab war.
The United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... in Somalia said 1,170 Somali civilians were either killed or injured in improvised bombs in two years. 501 non-combatants were killed or injured in 2020; that figure rose to 669 casualties in 2021. al-Shabaab carries out most IED attacks in Somalia.
[DW] A boat carrying over 100 people was forced to stay at sea for days looking for a port to dock at. They have now been allowed to land at a town in Sicily.
The German migrant rescue organization Sea-Eye said on Wednesday that one of their rescue boats had finally been given permission to dock at the Italian port of Augusta in Sicily after waiting for almost a week at sea.
Some 106 migrants colonists were on the Sea-Eye 4 boat, according to a tweet from the group.
"We are expected to reach Augusta on Wednesday afternoon," they wrote, adding that they hope this brings the rescued migrants colonists "a life of security, dignity and freedom."
RESCUE OPERATIONS
The Sea-Eye 4 picked up migrants colonists from a container ship that had previously rescued them as they tried to cross the Mediterranean Sea. A second pick-up included 75 people — including 22 children — who were found crossing in a rubber dinghy.
Some of those rescued have been stuck on the ship since last Wednesday.
Sea-Eye is one of several private rescue teams present in the maritime region to save those who run into trouble while making the journey.
The island country of Malta had previously blocked the Sea-Eye 4 from docking. The group said authorities had told them they were not responsible for providing a safe harbor.
MOST DANGEROUS MEDITERRANEAN CROSSING
The crossing is one of the more common routes for people fleeing poverty, the impacts of extreme weather and conflict. But it is also a very dangerous route. Some 90 people drowned at the weekend following a boat accident.
According to the UN, 417 people have gone missing trying to cross the central Mediterranean route so far this year, making it the most dangerous route across the sea.
The official UN figure for people who have gone missing trying to cross the central route since 2014 is over 19,000. The actual figure is likely much higher.
[Rudaw] German Sherlocks on Wednesday arrested a Syrian man accused of war crimes for allegedly torturing captives while he was with 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.

Federal prosecutors said the man, identified only as Raed E. in line with German privacy rules, was arrested in Berlin. He is suspected of membership in a foreign terrorist organization, crimes against humanity, war crimes and bodily harm.
The suspect joined ISIS in summer 2014 and participated in an attack that August on the Shueitat tribe in the Deir el-Zour region of eastern Syria, prosecutors said. Activists reported corpse counts ranging up to 700.
Raed E. is accused of abusing and torturing three captives after that attack. Prosecutors say that he had a man who was looking for a 13-year old brother kidnapped by ISIS arrested and then tortured him at various IS prisons.
The suspect allegedly also ordered the 13-year-old suspended from a ceiling with his hands tied behind his back. And he is accused of twice physically abusing a third captive during months in captivity.
Prosecutors said in a statement that, in addition to working in ISIS prisons, he handled transactions in which the freedom of Shueitat captives was bought and manned two checkpoints for the Death Eater group.
Three Katyusha rockets fell near an oil refinery, northwest of #Erbil, the capital of the #Kurdistan Region, without causing any casualties.https://t.co/RuZS6MAWWV
— NORTH PRESS AGENCY - ENGLISH (@NPA_English) April 6, 2022
Three Katyusha rockets fell on Wednesday evening near an oil refinery in an area northwest of Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region, without causing any casualties.
"The sounds of explosions caused by the fall of the missiles were clearly heard," a number of residents of Kurkusk camp for Syrian refugees told North Press.
The three missiles went kaboom! about ten kilometers away from the Syrian refugee camp, according to witnesses in the camp.
The Counter-Terrorism Service said in a press statement that the missiles fell near an oil refinery between Khabat district and Kurkusk district, without causing any casualties.
No party has grabbed credit for the attack so far. However, a woman is only as old as she admits... observers suggest link it to the previous Iranian attack on Erbil, last month.
A number of Katyusha rockets landed in the Khabat district of Erbil province late Wednesday without causing any casualties, a local official told Rudaw, fired from Nineveh province into the vicinity of Kawergosk oil refinery.
Ahmed Nabi, mayor of Kawergosk, which borders Khabat, told Rudaw that a number of Katyusha rockets targeted Khabat, which is situated to the west of Erbil in the direction of Mosul.
The Kurdistan Region’s Directorate General of Counter Terrorism (CTD) confirmed the attack, saying three rockets were "launched from the vicinity of Hamdaniya two-side in Khazir Front towards Erbil city." The Iran-linked Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF, or Hashd al-Shaabi) have a strong presence in Hamdaniya.
The CTD added that the rockets hit near the oil refinery, noting that the attack has not caused any casualties or material damage. Kawergosk oil refinery is one of the largest refineries in the Kurdistan Region and is operated by the Iraqi-Kurdish oil company KAR Group, the owner of whom's residence was targeted by Iranian missiles last month.
It is not yet clear why the rockets were launched nor who did it. Last month, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed responsibility for a missile attack on Erbil which caused extensive damage. At least four of the missiles landed on a property belonging to the CEO and founder of KAR Group, Baz Karim Barzinji in the early hours of March 13.
[IsraelTimes] Police say undercover officers arrested a terror suspect in the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank at dawn.
During the arrest, an bomb was found hidden in the suspect’s scooter near his home, police say.
The Paleostinian man has been taken to the Shin Bet security agency for further questioning.
The arrest comes as part of Operation Breakwater — targeting individuals suspected of planning future attacks, as well as some thought to be tied to recent deadly attacks in Israel.
[IsraelTimes] Police say officers detained three Paleostinians from Nablus who were illegally in Israel, one of whom was carrying a knife.
The officers questioned the three men, all in their 20s, in Jerusalem’s Old City, during which a knife fell from the person of one of the suspects, police say.
The men have been taken to a local cop shoppe to be questioned. Police did not say if they were suspected of planning an attack.
Paleostinians from the West Bank must obtain a special permit to enter Israel, including Jerusalem. During upcoming Ramadan prayers on Friday, Israel has eased these restrictions to allow children, women, and some men to freely visit the Temple Mount.
[IsraelTimes] Military says one suspect arrested and another escapes, as authorities step up efforts to halt weapon-running operations on eastern frontier
Israeli security forces arrested a man suspected of smuggling guns into Israel from Jordan overnight Tuesday, confiscating a large number of firearms in the process, the military said.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, 19 handguns, three AK-type assault rifles, two M-16 assault rifles, a shotgun, and four magazines were found during the arrest. A second suspect managed to flee, the military said.
Soldiers operating surveillance cameras spotted the two suspicious men crossing the border, and after a brief chase, one was arrested by coppers.
The alleged gun smuggler was not immediately identified.
The IDF has stepped up efforts to halt smuggling attempts along the Jordanian border in recent months. Such attempts are foiled every few weeks, but some officials have admitted that the military has failed to achieve much success thus far.
Unlike Israel’s other frontiers — with Egypt, Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...a formerly French, now an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. ... and Syria — its border with Jordan is largely open, often without significant fencing, and is relatively unguarded, making it an easy location for large-scale smuggling.
Police have previously indicated guns smuggled over the border are likely to be sold to Paleostinians in the West Bank, and Arab Israelis, for both criminal and terror purposes.
Last month dozens of firearms apparently smuggled over the Jordan border were seized.
Authorities have increasingly sought to crack down on the spread of illegal weapons in the Arab Israeli community, which have been used to carry out record-breaking numbers of murders in recent years.
According to the Abraham Initiatives, a group lobbying against violence in the Arab community, 125 Arabs — an all-time record — were killed in Israel in 2021 as a result of violence and crime.

[IsraelTimes] Chief suspect in bloody attack named as Abdolatif Moradi, 21, an ethnic Uzbek who had entered country illegally; President Raisi blamed the attack on influence of US ‘apostates’
Iran was to hold a memorial service Wednesday for a Shiite Muslim cleric stabbed to death a day earlier by a suspected Sunni extremist in the revered Imam Reza shrine in the northeastern city of Mashhad.
The chief suspect in the bloody attack was named as Abdolatif Moradi, 21, an ethnic Uzbek who had entered Iran illegally via the Pakistani border a year ago, the Tasnim news agency reported.
Moradi had “worked in transport” in a poor city district and had been active on social media using pseudonyms including Abdolatif al-Salafi to “spread takfiri ideology and confront Shiites.”
Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi blamed the knife attack, which wounded two other clerics, on the influence of US-based “takfiri” — a term used for Muslims who brand others as apostates, condemning them to death, and usually referring to Sunni extremists.
Raisi — who once chaired the charitable foundation that runs the gold-domed Imam Reza shrine — instructed Iran’s intelligence ministry to probe the killing of the cleric Mohammad Aslani, who held the rank of hojatoleslam.
The assailant struck on Iran’s third day of the holy month of Ramadan as large crowds of worshipers had gathered in the courtyard of the shrine of Imam Reza, one of the most revered figures in Shiite Islam.
Authorities arrested six suspected accomplices, including the chief suspect’s two brothers, after the attack in Mashhad, Iran’s second-largest city with more than three million people.
The assailant stabbed one of the victims “20 times,” the Tasnim report said.
Flowers were placed at the scene of the attack, in the courtyard of the mausoleum of Imam Reza, the eighth of the 12 holy imams in Shiite Islam, Iran’s state religion since the 16th century.
The Fars news agency released a picture of the three victims seated together in Mashhad, naming the two wounded clerics only as Pakdaman and Daraei.
The memorial service for Aslani was to take place in the evening, state news agency IRNA reported. His body will be carried by shrine officials, who will circle the courtyard several times while worshippers read the Koran.
He will be buried on Thursday in a square reserved for martyrs in the shrine’s courtyard.
The head of media at the mausoleum, who gave his name as Mr. Rostamzadeh, told AFP that “after the knife attack, the assailant was arrested by security services and 15 minutes later everything was back to normal.
“People were absolutely not afraid — on the contrary, it aroused religious fervor,” he said. “There was no closure or interruption.”
“There are a lot of people, the shrine is full of worshipers and pilgrims who attend religious ceremonies, especially during Ramadan.”
The Islamic Republic of Iran has a population of 83 million, 90 percent of whom are Shiite Muslims.
