[SAHARAREPORTERS] Airstrikes by the Multinational Joint Task Force have eliminated Abubakar Dan-Buduma, 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.... West Africa Province Commander and 19 others fighters in Nigeria's North-East of Lake Chad.
Dan-Buduma and his foot soldiers were eliminated in a coordinated intelligence-led ground and aerial bombardment by the Nigeriene Air Task Force, under Operation Hadin Kai and Multi National Joint Task Force in Kwalaram Village in Marte Local Government Area of Borno State.

Bandits have attacked Adei Village of Kutura station in Tantatu Ward under Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, killing two indigenes of the community and burning down houses.
One of the male victims had his head and hands chopped off after he was killed by the bandidos during the attack.
The attack is yet to be confirmed by the police or Kaduna State Government but a former chairman of Kajuru Local Government Area told Channels Television that the bandidos first attacked some of the adjoining communities on Tuesday, burning down houses and shooting sporadically within the community.
He said that the bandidos later returned in Adei community also under Kutura Station on Friday afternoon and carried similar attack, and in the process shot two persons to death.
According to Channels Television, over 30 houses and a church of the Evangelical Church Winning All were set ablaze during the attack, with residents fleeing the community.
Also, the whereabouts of Head of Kutura community, Joseph Ayuba, is yet unknown as residents feared that he might have been taking away by the bandidos during the operation.
Kajuru Local Government Area located in the Central Senatorial Zone of Kaduna State has been facing security issues ranging from banditry to communal festivities between the Fulani ... a peculiarly brutal tribe of Moslem herdsmen infesting Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and probably other places that are light on law and order and heavy on tribal identity... s and Adara natives.
Hundreds of people have been killed and several others injured or kidnapped.

Well. If they actually went after real criminals, it would cut into time they need for kangaroo courts and railroad jobs.

When I read about Michael Byrd get a similar or longer sentence for murdering Ashly Babbitt than the cop in Minnesota then I will know the pendulum has swung in the right direction.

Liberals and Radicals demand Free Speech and the Right to be heard. They just don't want the facts that expose their crimes, fallacies of agenda, or opinions other than their own to be heard.
There are words that define such actions and agendas.
Many of these words are the very words that the Liberals and Radicals claim to be fighting or falsely apply to others.
The BLM agenda is openly Racist and its actions and protests historically mimic the Fascist suppression tactics of the 1920-1940's.
One has to ask given their abusive agenda, is BLM being led, funded, and supported by Anti-USA sponsors?

[NYPOST] Secret Service agents assigned to the security details for President Biden and Vice President Kámala Harris Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, now a senatrix from California former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful, and Joe Biden's wing nut... are involved in a bizarre bribery and infiltration scheme operated by a pair of phony federal agents, according to a new report.
At least four Secret Service members were compromised by alleged conspirators Arian Taherzadeh and Haider Ali, according to a Friday filing by federal prosecutors. The feds say Ali boasted of links to Pakistain’s powerful Inter-Services Intelligence ...the Pak military intelligence agency that controls the military -- heads of ISI typically get promoted into the Chief of Army Staff position. It serves as a general command center for favored turban groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, tries to influence the politix of neighboring countries, and carries out a (usually) low-level war against India in Kashmir... spy agency and his passport indicated recent trips to Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... and Pakistain.
Prosecutors say one compromised Secret Service agent was assigned to first lady Jill Biden’s security detail. RealClearPolitics reported Friday that members of the president and Harris’ details were also implicated.
Secret Service agents typically rotate through different details over time and it’s unclear whom the agents were assigned to protect when FBI agents raided a Southeast DC apartment building late Wednesday and arrested Taherzadeh and Ali.
The precise aim of the men is not yet clear, but unnerving details are emerging.

The Postal Inspectors are a tad more diligent than other government branches.
It's been said before here that they will most likely find and arrest you if you commit a criminal act against an on-duty postal worker, mail fraud, stamp counterfeiting or robbing a 'public' mailbox.

[OneIndia] The National Investigation Agency conducted raids at 11 locations in 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.... in connection with a case of The Resistence Front recruiting, motivating the youths of the Union Territory to carried out violent mostly peaceful acts of Jihad.
The NIA raided 6 locations in district Srinagar, 2 in Baramulla, 1 in Awantipora, 1 in Budgam and 1 in Kulgam.
The case on hand relates to the activities of the The Resistence Front a frontal organization of the Lashkar-e-Tayiba. The NIA said that the self-styled commander of the outfit, Sajjad Gul has been radicalising and motivating the youth of J&K to undertake violent mostly peaceful activities. He along with his handlers in Pakistain have been recruiting youth and conducting reconnaissance of pre-determined targets apart from coordinating and transporting weapons.
In another development the NIA filed a supplementary chargesheet against to TRF operatives. The case relates to the recovery of an Improvised Explosive Device from one Nadeem ul-Haq from Bhatindi, Jammu. He at the behest of his Pakistain based handler had attempted to carry out a blast in a public place in Jammu. Investigation has unearthed a larger conspiracy hatched by the Pak handlers of TRF, involved in recruitment and planning to activate a significant number of radicalized youth through social media platforms to target security personnel and public places with an intention to wage war against government of India, the NIA said.
Ever since the inception of the The Resistence Front, it has been notorious for targeting civilians.
Officials tell OneIndia that the primary motive of the outfit is to target the minority community in Jammu and Kashmir. Last year it was involved in the killing of a Kashmiri pandit, Makhan Lal Bindroo.
In the first incident, faceless myrmidons fired at a chemist, M L Bindro at the Iqbal Park area of Srinagar. He succumbed on the way to hospital. The incident took place at around 7 pm.
Releasing a statement after the attacks, spokesperson for The Resistance® Front, Umar Wani said that the group had carried out three assassinations in North Kashmir. He said that Bindro was killed because he was an RSS worker.
In the second attack the TRF killed one Virender Paswan. The outfit termed him as a non-local informer of the Intelligence Bureau. The third attack was on Shafi Lone, whom the TRF termed as an informer.
The attack took place at the Shahgund area of Hajin in Bandipora district.
In its statement, the TRF said that it would continue with attacks on RSS workers and non-local informers. We will continue with the attacks and strike fear in the hearts of these people the statement also read.
Investigations by the police are underway and a search has been launched for the terrorists. Omar Abdullah tweeted, "Another assassination in Srinagar. A poor non-local handcart stall owner selling golguppas has been shot and has reportedly departed this vale of tears. No words of condemnation are enough. May his soul rest in peace."
The TRF is an offshoot of the Lashkar-e-Tayiba which was formed last year. The TRF has largely local faceless myrmidons and since the day of its formation, it has targeted Hindus and people which it thinks are informers of the police. An official tells OneIndia that the intention is to drive fear into the minds of the people. The TRF has specifically targeted Hindus and those in support of peace in Jammu and Kashmir, the officer also said.
[GREATERKASHMIR] An anti-terrorism court in Pakistain on Friday sentenced Mumbai terror attack criminal mastermind and banned Jamat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed ...founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba and its false-mustache offshoot Jamaat-ud-Dawa. The United Nations declared the JuD a terrorist organization in 2008 and Hafiz Saeed a terrorist as its leader. Hafiz, JuD and LeT are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Pak intel apparatus, so that amounted to squat. He is periodically placed under house arrest so it looks like the govt is doing something. Once the heat is off they let him go.... to 32 years in jail in two more terror financing cases.
Will this be served as unsupervised house arrest or in one of those cushy jail cells suitable for receiving visitors of high rank? Assuredly the government of Pakistan would not shove him among the regular prisoners. One can’t possibly receive visitors properly under such conditions.
Earlier in five such cases, the 70-year-old radical holy man had already been convicted of 36 years imprisonment.
The total sentence of 68 years imprisonment will run concurrently. Saeed may have to spend not many years in jail because his sentence will run concurrently, a lawyer told PTI.
On Friday, anti-terrorism court (ATC) judge Ejaz Ahmad Bhuttar handed down 32 years jail term to Saeed in two FIRs - 21/2019 and 90/2019 registered by the Counter-Terrorism Department of Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... Police, a court official told PTI.
"In the 21/19 and 99/21, he was sentenced for 15.5 years and 16.5 years, respectively," the official added.
The court also imposed a fine of PKR 340,000 on Saeed.
He said Saeed was brought to the court from the Kot Lakhpat Jail in Lahore where he has been imprisoned since 2019 in strict security.
Saeed, an UN-designated terrorist on whom the US has placed a USD 10 million bounty, was arrested on July 2019 in the terror financing cases.
Saeed-led JuD is the front organization for the Lashkar-e-Taiba ...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI... (LeT) which is responsible for carrying out the 2008 Mumbai attack that killed 166 people, including six Americans.
[GREATERKASHMIR] In a significant move, the Central government has declared Talha Saeed, the son of Jamaat-ud-Dawa ...the front organization of Lashkar-e-Taiba... (JuD) leader Hafiz Saeed ...founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba and its false-mustache offshoot Jamaat-ud-Dawa. The United Nations declared the JuD a terrorist organization in 2008 and Hafiz Saeed a terrorist as its leader. Hafiz, JuD and LeT are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Pak intel apparatus, so that amounted to squat. He is periodically placed under house arrest so it looks like the govt is doing something. Once the heat is off they let him go.... , as a terrorist for plotting against India and provoking the youth to pick up arms to carry out terror activities.
According to an order issued by the Centre, Talha Saeed has been actively visiting various Lashkar-e-Taiba ...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI... (LeT) centres across Pakistain and during his sermons, he propagates jihad against India, Israel, the US and Indian interests in other western countries.
Hafiz Talha Saeed, the son of Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, is a big shot of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and is the head of the holy man wing of the LeT.
Police alongwith security forces claimed to have arrested two LeT associates and recovered arms and ammunition from their possession in central 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.

[IsraelTimes] 13 Paleostinians said maimed in festivities after button men open fire; Israeli forces map Ra’ad Hazem’s home for demolition, seek to arrest his father but don’t find him
Israeli security forces on Saturday raided the West Bank home of the terrorist who carried out the deadly shooting attack in Tel Aviv on Thursday night.
The Israel Defense Forces said Paleostinian button men opened fire toward troops operating in the city of Jenin and other nearby villages. In footage posted online, heavy gunfire was heard in the area. The IDF said there were no Israeli casualties.
According to the Paleostinian Authority Health Ministry, one Paleostinian was killed and at least 13 others were maimed in the festivities.
The dead Paleostinian was named as Ahmed as-Saadi, a Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate.

In addition to the searches, the Hazem family home was mapped out by troops ahead of a potential demolition. Israel demolishes the homes of Paleostinians accused of carrying out deadly terror attacks as a matter of policy. The efficacy of the policy is controversial even within the Israeli security services and human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... activists have denounced it as unfair collective punishment.

"Over 220,000 liters of smuggled fuel were seized and 11 foreign crew members were detained for investigation," Ghahramani says.
Ghahramani did not specify the date the boat was seized, nor the origin of the vessel or nationality of the crew.
The Guards also captured an "Iranian boat carrying 20,000 liters of smuggled diesel, intended to supply the foreign ship" and arrested three crew members, Ghahramani adds, noting the seizure was made "in the territorial waters" of Iran.
The incident comes in the wake of a series of seizures of vessels in the sea lanes serving the Gulf, where a large portion of the world's oil is produced and shipped.
In November, Iran announced the arrest of a foreign boat carrying 150,000 litres of smuggled diesel and the arrest of 11 foreign crew members, without disclosing further details.
That seizure came days after Iran announced the release of the Vietnamese-flagged MV Sothys tanker, which they had seized in October.

Three members of Iranian-backed militias were killed by members of the same faction on Saturday east of Deir ez-Zor, east Syria.
Green on green.
A member of Abu al-Fadl al-Abbas Brigade killed three of his colleagues using a Kalashnikov gun in the outskirts of the al-Qoriya when the three men went out to deliver logistic supplies to the military sites, a military source of the Iranian-backed Quds Forces in al-Qoriya town, 50 km east of Deir ez-Zor, said.
The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the attacker killed the three men in order to steal weapons, mobile phones, and cash the three men were supposed to deliver to the military sites.
The killer, who hails from al-Sakhnah town, joined the faction only four months ago, the source said.
The Iranian-backed factions blocked the entrance and exit of the al-Qoriya and the towns nearby in order to catch the killer, the source said.
Days ago, two Syrian government soldiers went missing as they left their checkpoint and then to be found, on Friday, one killed and the other injured in the town of Se’alow in the east countryside of Deir ez-Zor.
Israel carried out Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s on government-held positions in Syria on Saturday afternoon, the state news agency SANA said, without reporting any casualties.
"The Israeli enemy launched an aerial assault from the direction of northern Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. ... targeting a number of positions in the central region," SANA reported, citing a military source.
The news agency said air defenses were activated and intercepted some of the Israeli missiles over the Hama province. It said damage from the strikes was still being assessed. Syria regularly claims to intercept Israeli missiles, though military analysts doubt such assertions.
Local reports said explosions were seen near the town of Masyaf and nearby areas in the west of government-controlled Hama province. Photos posted to social media showed large plumes of smoke in the area.
While alleged Israeli attacks in Syria typically take place under the cover of darkness, Saturday’s strike was conducted at around 6:45 p.m. while the sun was still out, according to SANA.
The area around Masyaf, which is thought to be used as a base for Iranian forces and pro-Iranian militias, has been repeatedly targeted in recent years in attacks widely attributed to Israel.
The area is also home to a facility belonging to the Scientific Studies and Research Center, known as CERS, which itself has been struck several times in the past.
Western officials have long associated CERS with the manufacture of chemical arms. According to the United States, sarin gas was developed at that center, a charge denied by the Syrian authorities.
In early March, Israeli strikes near Damascus killed two officers from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, the Islamic republic’s ideological army. The Guards vowed to avenge the killings and subsequently launched strikes on what they claimed was an Israeli "strategic center" in Iraq’s autonomous Kurdistan region.

On Saturday, sites and fortifications of the Ottoman Turkish-backed opposition factions, south of Idlib, northwest Syria, were bombed by Russian aircraft.
"A Russian warplane bombed the contact lines in the town of al-Fatira in the Zawiya Mountain area, south of Idlib, with three raids" a military source in the National Liberation Front ...the Turkic paramilitaries intended to replace with their native jihadi ferocity all the highly trained Turkish soldiers Sultan Erdogan I the much beloved has jailed in the last few years for not worshipping the ground he walks upon. The Uighurs and so forth who did not join Al Nusra or ISIS seem to have ended up here... told North Press.
The raids targeted locations in forests and on farmland. No information on casualties among civilians or faceless myrmidons were reported, amid intense flight of Russian reconnaissance planes over the area, the source added.
The air raids came in tandem with artillery shelling by the government forces of the opposition factions’ sites in the towns of Kansafra, al-Bara, Benin, San and Fleifel in the southern countryside of Idlib.
Meanwhile, ...back at the abandoned silver mine, a triangular dorsal fin appeared in the water. Then another... the government forces’ positions near the town of Jurin, west of Hama, were bombed by al-Fateh al-Mubin Operations Room, according to the same source.
