[Rudaw] Several members of the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) were detained in a police raid at the party’s office in Sirnak province in the Kurdish region (Bakur) of eastern The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... on Monday, said media outlets and officials from the bloc.
The police raided HDP’s office in Sirnak’s Cizre town in the early hours of the day, arresting five party members, including HDP’s district co-chair Mesut Nart, and district manager Yasamine Cikmaz, reported the pro-Kurdish Mezopotamya Agency.
The reason for their detention is yet to be known, it added.
HDP’s Sirnak deputy Nuran Imir expressed her anger regarding the incident on Facebook, saying the doors of the office were broken, the windows were smashed and the office belongings were scattered on the floor.
The pro-Kurdish party’s offices are often attacked in Turkey.
An assailant attacked HDP’s Istanbul office with a knife and a gun in December.
The party’s Marmaris office was stormed by button men in July.
The daughter of an HDP member, whose photo was thrown to the floor in the recent attack, was killed in another offense on the party’s Izmir office in June.
The HDP has been under pressure for years, accused of being the political wing of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), a charge the party denies. Members of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the far-right Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) have called for the party's closure.
Hundreds of its members and supporters are under investigation or in jail, including Selahattin Demirtas, the HDP's former leader, along with his co-chair Figen Yuksekdag.
"We will not bow down to your despicable attacks," wrote Imir.
[FoxNews] New York City Mayor Eric Adams praised transit workers and first responders that stepped up as a subway train turned into a “war zone” during a violent attack on a subway car full of passengers Tuesday.
“Today was a difficult day for New York,” he said during a news briefing from another location as continues to isolate himself after testing positive for COVID-19. “We saw a quiet Tuesday morning turn the N train into a war zone as a smoke bomb was detonated and multiple shots rang out.”
“Thanks to the quick thinking of the MTA crew and the bravery and cooperation of passengers, lives were saved,” he added.
He said the attack was part of a surge of gun violence plaguing New York City and many other municipalities across the country.
“These relentless shooters are an American problem,” he said. “It is going to take all levels of government to solve. It is going to take the entire nation to speak out and push back against the cult of death that has taken hold in this nation.”
BROOKLYN SUBWAY ATTACK: $50G REWARD ANNOUNCED
Authorities announced a $50,000 reward regarding Tuesday’s subway attack in Brooklyn. Officials also named a person of interest in connection with the shooting and assault on a Manhattan-bound N train.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and Transport Workers Union (TWU) Local 100 put up $25,000 to match another $25,000 from the New York Police Foundation.
"We are doing everything we can to catch the man responsible for this heinous attack on our riders,” MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber said in a statement. “New Yorkers know that if they see something, they should say something, especially in this case. Justice must be served.”
The Brooklyn Nets also announced they will donate $50,000 to help those injured. The team held a moment of silence before Tuesday’s play-in game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The donation will come from the Nets and the New York Liberty Foundation.
Multiple people were injured, including 10 people who were shot when a gunman opened smoke grenades and began shooting on the train, the NYPD said.
“That’s the subway stop for our practice facility and for our office,” Nets coach Steve Nash said before the game. “My kids go to school not exceedingly far, so it does hit home and you just feel for all those affected and you recognize that we have a lot of growing to do as a society and a community, and you just feel for everybody in our community that was affected.”

Looks like the shooter had a bag of mid-size fireworks and a roll of fuse that the PD found.
Shooter is/was driving a rental truck out of Pennsylvania and a newer law allows such firework purchases there.

Talking heads on cable news talking about the fireworks and “extended mags” taking preparation and planning. One even said shooter was 5’5” so he probably had help. Those are stupid comments. A .380 and a bag of fireworks is something even a moron could concoct. An evil one nevertheless, but still quite rudimentary by planning and prep standards.

You could use the fireworks two ways: To create a diversion while escaping in another direction, or to cause people to panic and run from what they think is gunfire but actually drive them into the line of fire.
Both are a step up from amateur hour.

Then in August 2018, Governor Andrew Cuomo (Uber LSD) announced that he was advancing legislation to remove the death penalty statute from New York State.
[Breitbart] Violent clashes between Muslims and Hindus broke out across the Indian states of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Jharkhand on Sunday during local observances of a Hindu religious festival, prompting authorities in two of the three states to impose curfews or gathering bans later Sunday, the Times of India reported on Monday.
Communities across Hindu-majority India held celebrations on April 10 to honor the birth of the Hindu lord Ram, or the physical incarnation of the top Hindu deity Vishnu. In the Gujarat municipality of Himmatnagar, local Muslim residents reportedly began hurling stones at a Ram procession, triggering mass violence. The Indian news site OpIndia provided a detailed account of the events on April 10, writing:
A Ram Navami Shobha Yatra or procession … in Gujarat was targeted by some local Muslim goons and stones were pelted at it. Apart from stone-pelting, some vehicles were also vandalized in this incident.
The incident happened in the afternoon when the Ram Navami procession was passing through a Muslim majority locality named Chhapariya. The procession … was attacked when the Hindu religious procession reached the Muslim dominated area. Several vehicles, which were part of the Ram Navami procession, were damaged in the attack, and one open Jeep was burnt by the attackers.
A local government official in Himmatnagar named Hitesh Koya imposed a gathering ban on Sunday evening in response to the violence. The order prohibits groups greater than five people from gathering in public and will remain in force through April 13.
A separate but similar incident occurred in the Gujarat city of Khambhat (located roughly 100 miles south of Himmatnagar) on April 10. Khambhat Muslims attacked a local Ram procession with stones and incited violence that killed at least one person, according to local reports. Police in Khambhat confirmed on April 11 that they had arrested nine people involved in the unrest, including Hindu priests.
More than 35 people were wounded in yet another Muslim attack on a Ram procession in the state of Madhya Pradesh on April 10.
The Times of India reported on the situation in the central Indian state on Monday, writing:
Curfew was clamped in the entire Khargone city of Madhya Pradesh after stones hurled at a Ram Navami procession here triggered arson and torching of some vehicles and houses, a senior official said on Monday. The incident took place on Sunday when devotees were celebrating Ram Navami. Police had to fire tear gas shells to control the situation.
Following the incident, curfew was clamped in the entire Khargone city on the intervening night of Sunday and Monday, Khargone Collector [District Magistrat] Anugrah P said.
Citizens have been asked to step out of home only for medical emergency, she said, adding that the situation is under control.
At least half a dozen people were wounded through stone-pelting incidents in Jharkand state’s Hirahi-Hendlaso village on April 10 during another tragic Muslim attack on a Hindu Ram festival. Two of the people injured in the assault remained in the hospital as of Monday listed in “critical condition,” according to the Times of India.
“As per the information, some people started pelting stone on crowd during Ram Navami procession in the area. This led to a stampede and more than half a dozen people were injured [sic],” the newspaper relayed.
“Later people from both sides started pelting stones. As tension escalated, more than a dozen motorcycles and a pickup van were set on fire at the fair. Two houses have also been set ablaze near Bhogta Garden,” according to the publication.
[Dawn] Five coppers were martyred and four others injured, including a senior officer, in a terrorist attack in the Kulachi area here on Monday night.
Dera Ismail Khan is the name of a city and its surrounding district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province. It is home to Balochi and Pashtun tribesmen, so the terrorists are likely to be Balochs or Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (Gandapur group).
District police front man said Kulachi DSP Fazal Subhan and his squad were patrolling Chowk Yaadgar on a police van when they were attacked by unknown bandidosforces of Evil with rocket launchers.
He said five constables, including the driver of the van, were martyred in the attack, while DSP Subhan was injured. The police personnel martyred in the attack were identified as Elite Force head constable Kamran, Niaz Ali, Munawar, Jamshed and driver Abdul Rehman. The injured included Imran, Jamshed and Yahya bin Akbar.
There was also an exchange of fire between the police and terrorists, but the latter took advantage of the darkness and managed to escape.
D.I. Khan regional police chief Shaukat Abbas, while confirming the incident, said the van was destroyed in the attack.
[OneIndia] The National Investigation Agency has learnt that a Bangladeshi national who entered Assam illegally was trying to set up an Al Qaeda module in eastern India.
On Sunday, the NIA conducted raids at 11 locations in Barpeta and Bongaigaon districts of Assam in a case linked to a module of the Al Qaeda in the Sub-Continent (AQIS).
On the radar of the NIA was one Saiful Islam who had entered illegally into Assam. He was working as an Arabic teacher at the Dhakaliapara Masjid. Under the garb of working as an Arabic teacher, he was actively motivating the youth to join the outfit and work for the sleeper cells, the NIA learnt.
An Intelligence Bureau official tells OneIndia that they have been witnessing enhanced activity by the Bangladesh based terrorists. Their primary intention is to recruit, radicalise and try and destabilise the BJP government in the state.
With the BJO government assuming office for a second term, there are intelligence inputs suggesting that Jihadi forces are trying to destabilise the state. Over the past couple of weeks, both the state and central agencies have stepped up operations in the state to keep a check on such elements.
In March the Madhya Pradesh police arrested four members of the Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh The JMB is said to be the youth front of Al Mujahideen, the parent organization that began working toward establishing Bangladesh as an Islamic state in the mid 1990s, which remains obscure and probably defunct today. Other organizations, such as Jama'atul Jihad, JMB, Jagrata Muslim Janata Bangladesh (JMJB), Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HUJI), Hizbut Tawhid, Tawhidi Janata, Islami Jubo Shangha, Islami Shangha, Al Falah A'am Unnayan Shanstha and Shahadat-e al Hiqma are believed to be part of the Al Mujahideen network. The JMB at its peak was reported to contain at least 100,000 members, and an alleged 2,000-man suicide brigade, few of whom actually exploded. JMB allegedly received financial assistance from individual donors in Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Libya. Reports have claimed that funding of JMB by international NGOs like Kuwait based Society of the Revival of Islamic Heritage (RIHS) and Doulatul Kuwait, Saudi Arabia based Al Haramaine Islamic Institute and Rabita Al Alam Al Islami, Qatar Charitable Society and UAE-based Al Fuzaira and Khairul Ansar Al Khairia. The top leadership of JMB was captured in 2005 and hung in 2007, which pretty much shot their bolt. in connection with the Bodhgaya blasts case. In this case it was found that they had entered India through Bengal.
In recent times there have been several arrests of illegal immigrants colonists from Bangladesh who have entered the country through West Bengal and Assam. There have also been instances of bully boyz entering through Bengal and then making their way into Assam.
Back in 2012, the Intelligence Bureau had reported that the issue was catching up like wildfire in the states of West Bengal, Kerala, Telangana (then AP) and Karnataka. The report stated that there are all sorts of people. Many are here in search of a livelihood, but then there are many who indulge in illegal activities such as smuggling as drugs and sometimes arms.

They come into the country through West Bengal and gradually move into other parts of the country.
While touts and middlemen help them with documents, there are others who take advantage of their poor living conditions and lure them with money in order to carry out illegal activities.
A Pak was among two murderous Moslems killed while two copperswere maimed in an ongoing shootout with security forces in Khurbatpora area of south 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.... 's Kulgam district on Monday police said.As per IGP Kashmir, Vijay Kumar, the slain Pak bad boy with code name Chacha has been killed along with a "hybrid" bad boy in the shootout while the two injured cops are being evacuated to the hospital..
The encounter broke out this evening after security forces cordoned the area following a tip off about the presence of murderous Moslems there.
[IsraelTimes] Mohammad Ali Ghneim, 21, is the third Paleostinian killed by Israeli troops on Sunday, as tensions spike following wave of deadly terror attacks in Israel
The Israel Defense Forces shot and killed a Paleostinian who was allegedly throwing Molotov cocktails at an Israeli car on Road 60 near the Paleostinian town of al-Khader in the West Bank on Sunday, the army and Paleostinian officials said. The 21-year-old was the third Paleostinian killed by Israeli forces in a day.
According to the Israeli army, soldiers who were carrying out an ambush near al-Khader identified a person throwing Molotov cocktails at an Israeli vehicle on the road that links the Etzion Bloc of settlements with Jerusalem.
"The soldiers shot at the suspect. A hit was identified," the Israeli military said, adding that the Molotov cocktails endangered the occupants of the vehicle.
Ahmad Salah, a local activist in al-Khader, identified the dead Paleostinian as Mohammad Ali Ghneim, 21. F*cked around and found out
The Bethlehem branch of the Fatah movement declared a strike in protest of Ghneim’s death.
Ghneim was shot and killed near the security barrier where it winds past the West Bank village, just south of Bethlehem, separating it from the bustling Road 60 highway, Salah said, claiming that Ghneim was too far away from the road to endanger cars.
The Rescuers Without Borders emergency service, however, reported that Paleostinians hurled a molotov cocktail at an Israeli ambulance on Route 60 in the area around the same time.
No injuries were reported to the occupants.
Ghneim was the third Paleostinian killed by Israeli forces on Sunday as tensions continued to spike across Israel and the West Bank.
[IsraelTimes] A Paleostinian youth who was maimed during an Israel Defense Forces arrest operation near Jenin departed this vale of tears on Monday, according to the Paleostinian Health Ministry.
He was identified as 17-year-old Mohammad Zakarneh. The Paleostinian Health Ministry said he was maimed in his pelvis during Sunday’s incident. According to Paleostinian health officials, Zakarneh was struck by an expanding bullet — a particularly lethal type of round — and eventually died of severe blood loss.
According to the IDF, the soldiers entered the area, in the northern West Bank, in order to arrest two brothers of Ra’ad Hazem, the terrorist who killed three Israelis in a terror attack in Tel Aviv on Thursday.
The military said it shot Zakarneh after he fired at the soldiers from a passing cycle of violence.

Short answer to #1: No. Most bullets expand, but there are things you can do to make them expand more effectively. Sometimes you really don't want a bullet to expand (dangerous game hunting, armor-piercing) and then you go to lengths to design that behavior.

Low velocity JSP. Very surgical. And a fast, reliable body bag team. Never fails.
[IsraelTimes] Israeli defense officials believe that they are stopping an average of two terror attacks every day that troops crack down on the northern West Bank city of Jenin and its surrounding area, Channel 13 news reports, citing an unnamed bigwig.
The channel says that the military claims they are preventing attacks in which weapons or snuffies are already ready to go.
Aside from mass casualty assaults, which Israel has seen a rash of in recent weeks, defense officials also classify stone-throwing attacks and certain actions during festivities between Paleostinians and troops as terror attacks.
In the towns of Burqa and Kafr Qallil, troops confiscated four vehicles and seized two firearms, the military says. Dozens of Paleostinians hurled stones at soldiers, and gunfire was heard in the area, the IDF says. No troops were hurt.
Among the detainees are two Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, members from Hebron, the army adds.
[IsraelTimes] Video of man throwing rocks circulates hours after 2 Israelis shot in unclear circumstances while trying to reach site
For the second day in a row, Paleostinians reportedly broke into Joseph’s Tomb near the West Bank city of Nablus and vandalized the shrine.
Video circulating on social media showed a man throwing rocks inside the site. The already-vandalized tomb can be seen in the footage. The date and time of the video could not be immediately verified, but it appeared to have been filmed during the daytime. In the video, a man is heard saying in Arabic: "There is no Joseph’s Tomb anymore, you traitors."
The comment was apparently a reference to the Paleostinian Authority, after the Nablus regional governor pledged to restore the site following its vandalization on Sunday, and reaffirmed that the shrine was under the PA’s protection. Ibrahim Ramadan also said that Nablus was a "city of three religions."
According to Paleostinian media reports, PA security forces were working Monday morning to restore order in the area surrounding the shrine.
Joseph’s Tomb is located inside Area A of the West Bank, which is officially under complete Paleostinian Authority control, though the Israeli military conducts activities there. The IDF bars Israeli citizens from entering Area A without prior authorization.
The tomb is venerated by Jews, Christians and Moslems, and has often been a flashpoint for violence. Some Jews believe the biblical Joseph is buried in the tomb, while Moslems say a sheikh is buried there.
Jewish pilgrims are usually only allowed to visit the tomb once a month under heavy armed guard. During these visits, Paleostinians routinely throw rocks at the troops, and sometimes attack them with Molotov cocktails and gunfire.
The latest vandalism came a day after approximately 100 Paleostinians broke into the site, rioted and smashed objects inside, and set it ablaze, before they were dispersed by Paleostinian security forces, IDF front man Brig. Gen. Ran Kochav said. Images on social media showed parts of the tomb inside the shrine broken and charred, and footage showed dozens of Paleostinians entering the site and smashing objects inside.
The rioting came amid festivities between Paleostinian button men and IDF soldiers, who had entered the nearby Balata refugee camp in the Jenin area as part of counter-terror operations in the wake of a number of deadly attacks.
Monday’s apparent vandalism came hours after the Israel Defense Forces said two Jews were shot and maimed while trying to reach Joseph’s Tomb. The two men, part of the Bratslav community, were attempting to get to the shrine without having coordinated with the military, which usually oversees visits by Jewish worshipers.
The circumstances of the shooting were not immediately clear. The army said the men went through an unmanned roadblock at the entrance to Nablus. According to Channel 12 news, the two said they had wanted to help restore the shrine after it was vandalized. The two men were lightly to moderately injured and the IDF was investigating the circumstances of their injuries.
The shooting and vandalism came during the Moslem holy month of Ramadan — often a period of high tension in Israel and the West Bank.
Israel has seen four deadly terror attacks in recent weeks and has ramped up security measures in response, as well as carrying out a number of raids in the West Bank.

If you are starving to death and some Iranian offers you money, why not shoot the Jews and destroy their monuments. A man has to feed his family or he is not a man.
[Rudaw] Several Iranian-backed holy warriors were killed and injured in a suspected 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) attack on the force in the Syrian desert, a conflict monitor reported early Monday.
Four members of the Iran-backed militia were killed and two others were maimed in an alleged ISIS offensive on a military site near al-Sukhna city in the eastern countryside of Homs, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said.
The desert, also known as Badia, is a strategically valuable area as it contains Syria’s crucial gas fields and the east-west highway, which connects Deir ez-Zor to both Homs and Damascus.
No group has grabbed credit for the attack.
Security forces in Badia have arrested at least three members of the National Defense Forces for their suspected affiliation with ISIS, SOHR noted.
The recent attack comes a month after dozens of soldiers were killed and injured in an attack on a military bus in the Badia. ISIS was blamed for the offense at the time as well.
ISIS seized control of swathes of territory in Iraq and Syria, declaring a so-called caliphate in 2014, but the terror group was declared territorially defeated in 2017 and 2019 respectively. The terror group continues to launch deadly attacks from the Syrian desert, which extends from Syria’s capital of Damascus to the Iraqi border.
Sixty-one pro-regime soldiers and Iran-affiliated holy warriors were killed in alleged ISIS attacks in the desert since the beginning of the year, the monitor said last month, with 69 members of the terror group reported dead.
In its propaganda magazine on Thursday, ISIS claimed to have conducted two attacks in Syria from March 31 to April 6, killing and injuring four people.
