-Lurid Crime Tales-
Arizona CBP agents seize enough fentanyl to kill 42 million people in latest border drug bust
[FoxNews] Customs and Border Protection officials in Arizona said the driver of the car carrying the fentanyl was 'noticeably nervous' as she was questioned.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents seized an estimated $4.3 million worth of fentanyl pills on Wednesday evening.

The seizure happened in the Tuscon, Arizona Sector when agents conducted a vehicle stop on a white Chevy Equinox and observed several duffel bags in the car, according to a press release. Agents also noticed that the female driver was "noticeably nervous as she was questioned." Another female was in the car, and both are U.S. citizens, according to officials.

CBP agents then searched the vehicle with her consent, and found three bags that contained packages wrapped in black tape, in addition to being coated in axle grease, according to the government agency.

It was later determined that the 340 packages of fentanyl pills weighed a total of 187 pounds and was estimated to have been worth $4.3 million.

Afghanistan’s Northern Balkh Explosion Injures Three People: Taliban Officials
[KhaamaPress] At least three people were maimed in the Wednesday blast in Mazar-e-Sharif, the bucolic provincial capital of Balkh in northern Afghanistan, according to local Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
security officials.

The blast occurred in the Darwaza-e-Balkh area of Police District 4 in Mazar-e-Sharif at around 11:30 on Wednesday morning.

According to Mohammad Asif Waziri, the Taliban front man for the office of the chief of police in Balkh province, this explosion occurred when a person wanted to take explosives into the city.

The Taliban official, Waziri, further stated that the earth-shattering kaboom has not inflicted casualties; however, three people have been maimed as a result of the blast.

Some locals, nevertheless, maintained that there were more injuries as a result of this occurrence than the Balkh province Taliban authorities had reported.

According to the Public Health Head for Balkh province, Najibullah Tawana, the earth-shattering kaboom resulted in the injuries of six people who have been taken to the Balkh Provincial Hospital.

Social media videos made after the earth-shattering kaboom showed that several people had fallen on the ground and that locals were taking them to hospitals.

The blast on Wednesday in Mazar-e-Sharif, the latest to hit the country in the year since the Taliban took power, elicited no immediate claims of responsibility.

The Khorasan branch of 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....
(IS-K) has claimed the majority of the responsibility for the recent rise in bombings in a number of Afghan provinces.

Taliban Conduct Extensive House-to-House Searches in Northern Afghanistan
[KhaamaPress] House-to-house searches have reportedly been resumed by the Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
in Mazar-e-Sharif, the historic provincial capital of Balkh in northern Afghanistan, according to local sources. These searches are being conducted to find suspected criminals, combat ISIS, and collect state and illegal weapons.

According to sources, this round of house-to-house efforts began on Thursday morning, August 25, in Mazar-e-Sharif’s police district 3.

The Taliban’s 209th al-Fath Corps and the Intelligence Directorate are working together to conduct house-to-house searches in Mazar-e-Sharif, according to Asif Waziri, the front man for the Taliban office of the chief of police in Balkh province.

According to the Taliban official, Asif Waziri, the Taliban forces are conducting door-to-door searches in an effort to combat ISIS, obtain state weapons and collect undocumented guns, as well as track down suspected criminals.

Previously, locals in the Samangan province of northern Afghanistan said that Taliban forces were conducting door-to-door searches in Aybak, the Samangan province’s capital, searching homes.

The Taliban forces reportedly conducted extensive searches throughout the province, and as a result, 25 young people were allegedly detained without evident or announced justifications.

The resumption of searches comes at a time when a powerful explosion on Wednesday in Mazar-e-Sharif injured at least 3 civilians, according to Taliban officials.

Africa Subsaharan
Gunmen Invade Fulani Camp, Shoot Dead 15 Pregnant Cows, 6 Others In Rivers


Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria in Rivers State says 21 cows belonging to the union’s members were rubbed out by unknown button men who invaded a settlement - Odogwa community - in the Etche Local Government Area of the state.

Chairman of the association, Mohammed Abubakar, disclosed this at a media briefing in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

Abubakar said the incident occurred at about 9 pm on Wednesday when the cattle rearers went to town to buy some beverages, saying of the 21 cows killed, 15 were pregnant.

He expressed shock over the attack because according to him, the cattle rearers have been living in harmony with members of their host community.

Abubakar said, "They shot 21 cows and before the Miyetti Allah people came back, the button men had escaped.

"The cows were littered on the ground dead, just like that. Some just gave birth; some are pregnant. More than 15 were pregnant.

"In the morning, they went back to find out what had happened to provoke the attack and they took their complaint to the monarch of the community and other residents there.

"They too expressed surprise that they don’t know what happened. We have been living peacefully with the people in this community for long, even when our cows destroy crops, we pay for the damages.

"We also pay for the place we are living, yet this sort of thing happened to us. If there was anything wrong that the cattle rearers have done that the people don’t like, they should tell."

This comes a few weeks after the association raised the alarm over the killing of a 19-year-old herder by some unknown criminals.

The dear departed was murdered by his assailants at about 6:00 pm in their camp situated in Ogu community, Ogu-Bolo Local Government Area in Rivers state, while attending to one of his mother’s cows that just had just given birth to two calves.

Nigerian Troops Rescue Three Kidnapped Victims In Kaduna


The Nigerian Army says it has rescued three kidnap victims at Manini village in Kaduna State.

The victims were rescued along Pole Wire-Birnin Gwari Road, Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The rescued victims comprised two adult males and an elderly woman, who according to a statement by the Director Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, have been moved to Kaduna.

The victims are currently receiving medical treatment, the statement added.

Nwachukwu disclosed that the victims were rescued during an operational cum inspection tour in Kaduna on Thursday, August 25, 2022, by the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 1 Division of the Nigerian Army, Maj-Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, who was accompanied by a team of operational commanders and operatives.

The statement partly read, "The GOC and his team rescued the victims from a group of armed kidnappers in Manini village, along Pole Wire - Birnin Gwari Road, Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna state.

"The kidnappers had kidnapped the victims and were taking off when they were confronted by the GOC's team. The hot exchange of fire that followed subdued the kidnappers, compelling them to scamper in disarray with gunshot wounds into nearby forest, abandoning their abductees.

"The rescued victims, comprising two adult males and an elderly woman have been conveyed to Kaduna, where they are currently receiving medical attention."

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Israel indicts Islamic Jihad militant al-Saadi whose arrest fueled Gaza tensions
[AnNahar] The Israeli military said it has filed terror charges against a senior member of the Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
krazed killer group whose arrest in the occupied West Bank helped spark three days of heavy fighting in 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...
earlier this month.

Islamic Jihad had demanded the release of Bassam al-Saadi and another detained Paleostinian who is on a prolonged hunger strike as part of the Egyptian-brokered cease-fire that ended the fighting. The indictment signals that those demands will not be met.

The military said al-Saadi, 62, stands accused of "committing crimes of affiliation with and activity in an illegal association" and receiving funds from Islamic Jihad in Gaza, as well as "impersonation, incitement and aiding contact with enemy elements," the military said.

Islamic Jihad is an Iran-sponsored Paleostinian krazed killer group that is opposed to Israel's existence and has carried out scores of deadly attacks over the years targeting Israeli civilians. It operates in both the occupied West Bank and Gaza.

Al-Saadi was arrested earlier this month during a night-time military raid in the West Bank city of Jenin. In response to his arrest, Islamic Jihad said it was going "on alert."

Israel says the group was planning a Dire Revenge attack from Gaza. In response to what it said was an imminent threat, Israel launched a wave of Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s in Gaza that killed a senior Islamic Jihad commander. The faceless myrmidons began launching hundreds of rockets at Israel hours later.

The flare-up left 49 Paleostinians dead, including the krazed killer group's top two commanders and 10 other fighters, before the cease-fire took effect. Gazook faceless myrmidons fired some 1,100 rockets, but no one on the Israeli side was killed or seriously maimed.

It was the deadliest exchange of fire since last year's war between Israel and Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,, the krazed killer group that has ruled Gaza for the last 15 years — and which did not take part in the latest fighting.

Despite the lopsided toll, Islamic Jihad has held rallies across Gaza in recent days, including on Thursday, on the main road of Gaza's Shijaiyah neighborhood. At a rally Wednesday in the southern town of Rafah, the faceless myrmidons displayed life-sized replicas of rockets.
How sweet.
Al-Saadi has spent a total of 15 years over several stints in Israeli jails for being an Islamic Jihad member. Israel killed two of his sons, who were also Islamic Jihad krazed killers, in separate incidents in 2002, and destroyed his home during a fierce battle in Jenin that year.
The Times of Israel adds:
Saadi, the leader of the terror group in the West Bank, was arrested on August 1 by Israeli troops in the Palestinian city of Jenin. His arrest followed intelligence information indicating that Saadi had continued to be active in the PIJ, a military source said.

According to the indictment, Saadi worked to assist two other Palestinians to “advance activities” of the PIJ’s student council, which is considered by Israel to be a part of the outlawed group. The pair received $5,000 from a terror operative in the Gaza Strip for the activities, according to the indictment.

The charge of incitement was given over May interview in which Saadi said if Israeli troops enter the Jenin refugee camp “and went door to door, God forbid, then the resistance would rise like ‘phoenixes’ from the fire or the coals… the Jenin refugee camp is a part of the Palestinian people who remain to fight until they are removed from our land, sea, sky, and holy places.”

During his arrest on August 1, Saadi identified himself to troops as his brother Ghassan, and was therefore also charged with assuming a false identity, according to the indictment.

Shin Bet said that in recent months Saadi “worked even harder to restore PIJ activities, in which he was behind the creation of a significant military force of the organization in Samaria in general and in Jenin in particular,” referring to the northern West Bank.

“His presence was a significant factor in the radicalization of the organization’s operatives in the field,” the security service added.

Israeli F-16s fire missiles at Syrian science center
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
Follow up to this story from yesterday.
[RIA Novosti] The Israeli Air Force attacked the Syrian scientific center the day before, damaging the warehouses of special equipment, Major General Oleg Yegorov, deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties in Syria, said at a briefing.

He said that on August 25, from 19:16 to 19:30, four Israeli F-16 fighters, while in the eastern Mediterranean, fired four cruise missiles and 16 guided aerial bombs at targets in the research center in the city of Masyaf.
"we're not sure exactly what was destroyed. It was all marked in Farsi"
"The duty air defense forces of the Armed Forces of the Syrian Arab Republic destroyed two missiles and seven guided aerial bombs from the Russian-made Pantsir-S1 and S-75 complexes," the general continued.
As always, the Syrians and their S-300 stop some of the things the IAF shot off.
In addition, over the past day in the Idlib de-escalation zone, four shellings from the terrorist group Jabhat al-Nusra* were recorded. In the province of Aleppo - three attacks, in Latakia - one attack.

Yegorov added that in Aleppo, as a result of artillery shelling and ATGMs fired by terrorists from the Tekad region at the positions of government forces in the Basratun region, three Syrian servicemen were injured.
