Herat: 2 Soldiers Wounded in Suicide Attack on Outpost, 17 Talibs toes up after
[ToloNews] At least two soldiers were maimed in a car kaboom on a security outpost in western Herat
...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns...
province on Monday morning, said Waheed Qatali, provincial governor.

The incident occurred in Shindand district on Monday morning as a car full of explosive detonated close to a security outpost, Qatali said.

"After the boom-mobile, festivities continued between the security forces and Taliban
...Arabic for students...
, during which two soldiers were maimed," he said.

However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them...
he did not provide further details about the festivities.

In the meantime, Gen. Abdul Rouf Arghandiwal, commander of the 207th Zafar military corps, said a "Humvee vehicle full of explosives has been destroyed before it reached its target."

"At least 17 Taliban were killed and more than 10 others were maimed in the past 24 hours during festivities in Shindand," he said.

He did not provide details about possible casualties in the festivities.

The Taliban has not yet commented on the attacks.

Shindand has witnessed other Taliban attacks on security outposts in recent days.

Africa Subsaharan
Nigeria: Adamawa Confirms Seven Dead, 5,000 Displaced in Boko Haram Attack
[All Africa] No fewer than seven persons were confirmed dead while 5,000 were displaced following attacks by Boko Haram

gunnies in Adamwa State on Friday, the Adamawa State Emergency Management Agency (ADSEMA) said yesterday.

There were reports that Kwapre, a village in Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State, which lies at the Adamawa-Borno boundary close to the Sambisa Forest in Borno, was attacked Friday evening.

Confirming the incident, the Executive Secretary of ADSEMA, Dr. Mohammed Sulaiman, said the attack on Kwapre affected neighbouring communities where most of the displaced had taken up temporary residence.

According to him, the gunnies stormed Kwapre in nine vehicles, surrounded the village and killed seven people.

"During the attack, 50 houses, worship centres, markets and schools were burnt. Many people, including women, girls and men, were kidnapped by the attackers," he said.

He added however that eight persons among the kidnapped victims had escaped.

Chairman of Hong LGA, Hon. James Pukuma, said regular and local security personnel had been deployed to guard the community.

With the deployment of security personnel, activities were gradually returning to normal at Kwapre.

. During the attack, compounds belonging to multiple relief agencies and warehouses containing humanitarian stock, were looted and set alight. This is the second attack targeting humanitarian staff in the past two months. Damasak has repeatedly been targeted by ISWAP faceless myrmidons who have made several attempts to overrun a military outpost outside the town. Due to worsening security conditions, humanitarian workers in Nigeria are struggling to provide aid. President Muhammadu Buhari reshuffled the military command this year, raising hopes of a shift in strategy to end the conflict that has killed 36,000 people and forced around two million to flee their homes.

...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.

Caribbean-Latin America
Mexico doubles migrant detentions with troop surge, White House says
[AlAhram] Mexico has doubled its detentions of migrants colonists with a deployment of 10,000 troops to its southern border, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki
...a valley girl who woke up one morning and found she was spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of State under Obama...
said on Monday, as Washington leans on regional governments to help slow arrivals at the U.S. border.

Rooters reported in March that Mexico had launched enforcement operations for rounding up immigrants colonists transiting illegally toward the U.S. border, and stepped up its efforts along its border with Guatemala.

The operations include members of the National Guard, a militarized police force, along with soldiers and members of the navy and immigration officials. Mexico said on March 22 that it had close to 9,000 troops from the defense ministry, Navy and National Guard on its northern and southern borders.

A Mexican National Guard member deployed to the area said the force's daily arrest rate had doubled in recent weeks.

The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run....
took office, Guatemala deployed security forces to halt a U.S.-bound caravan of migrants colonists, and Guatemalan government officials have vowed to keep up the pressure. Honduras also deployed forces in response to a small U.S.-bound migrant caravan over Easter.

Earlier, White House aide Tyler Moran said the Biden administration secured agreements with Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala to put more troops on their own borders. Moran appeared to have been referring to the March deployments.

The Guatemalan defense ministry said it did not have information on the matter. The Mexican and Honduran governments did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Europe
Alleged ISIS Supporter Charged For Thwarted Attacks on Denmark and London
[Breitbart] A man has been charged in Norway for his alleged role in plans to carry out three bully boy attacks in Denmark and in London, and for purportedly spreading 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....
group propaganda on the internet.

Authorities believe the 24-year-old man, who wasn’t identified, was part of a group that sought to strike a church in England, possibly St. Paul´s Cathedral in London, but British police thwarted the plot, Norwegian broadcaster NRK reported Monday.

The man was also allegedly involved in plans for one or more attacks in Denmark in March and April 2019 with help from at least one Danish citizen, prosecutor Geir Evanger told NRK. Those attacks are believed to have been prevented as well.

The man has maintained his innocence. If found guilty, the man who claims to be innocent, faces up to 21 years in jail, NRK said. The trial starts in Oslo on May 18.

Evanger was quoted as saying by NRK that as to his involvement in IS, the man spread "extremist material, violent mostly peaceful material and material with religious content" online. He was an administrator for several groups on social media, including some he had created, the prosecutor said, adding they consider him to be "a relatively central participant in many of these groups."

NRK said the man had been held in jug for a while.

It wasn’t immediately known whether the case was linked to the July sentencing in London of Safiyya Sheikh, a British woman who had converted to Islam. She was locked away
You have the right to remain silent...
for life, with a minimum sentence of 14 years, for plotting to blow up St. Paul’s Cathedral, a nearby hotel in London and a subway train in a suicide kaboom.

Sheikh, born Michelle Ramsden,
...more formally Safiyya Amira Shaikh, whose jihadi mentor was Anjem Choudary
...self-proclaimed holy man who used to work for Omar Mohammed Bakdri as spokesman for al-Muhajiroun. Anjem is a loathesome little attention prostitute who is to be heard cheering for the home team anytime anybody with a turban manages to slaughter a group of unarmed infidels. Anjem was born in the UK in 1967 and is, as you would expect, of Pakistaini descent. The Ghost of Dante is of the opinion that when he goes to hell his knees will be broken once a month. He was in jug for awhile for supporting the Islamic State...
, whose inspiration was Anwar Al-Awlaki lectures, and whose family and daughter were an inconvenience she’ll no longer be responsible for...
who was a supporter of the Islamic State group, pleaded guilty to terrorism offenses.

Migrants Sentenced for Stabbing French Teen over Cigarette
Sudden Jihad Syndrome. If there are two of them, it can’t be that they’re both off their rockers.
[Breitbart] An Algerian and a Syrian have been sentenced to four and five years in prison, respectively, after stabbing a teenager for refusing to give them a cigarette.

The Tours Correctional Court sentenced the two migrants colonists, aged 20 and 26, for the stabbing, which took place in July of last year.

According to a report from broadcaster La Belle France Bleu, the 20-year-old Syrian national also received a ban on entering French territory for the next ten years following the completion of his sentence.

The incident, which took place on the banks of the River Loire in Tours, western La Belle France, saw the migrants colonists approach the French teen at 3 am while he was with a group of friends.

When the migrants colonists asked him for a cigarette, the teen refused. As a result, the Syrian and Algerian stabbed him three times in the abdomen, the shoulder, and the thigh. The victim was later treated at a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

Violent crime continues to be a major problem in La Belle France, with 2019 seeing one of the worst years for homicides in recent French history, according to professor of Criminology Alain Bauer, who stated last year that the country has seen a surge in cases of homicide in the last decade.

"The only reliable indicator since 1539 (and the creation of the civil registry by the ordinance of Villers-Cotterêts) is homicide mortality. It shows a collapse of homicide violence for five centuries... and a strong recovery over the past decade," Bauer said.

#1  Either the Guard gets called out, or those cities will become sh*tholes where no normal working person will dream of starting a business or family. I.e. The post-1967 Detroit model

#2  BLM is not a political movement, it is a façade for organized crime; i.e. this is a call for rioting, looting and potential murder of law enforcement personnel. RICO laws must be applied to this and supporting groups, as this annoucement is an open statement to commit crime (conspiracy), riot, a crime. Any State, County, or Municipal government and law enforcement organization under their command which fails to attempt to enforce civil order would not be complying with their oath of office and could be subject to at best recall and dismissal from office, at worst criminal charges of malfeasance while in office.

Be aware citizens in these Municipalities and abutting jurisdictions, your safety and that of your families may rest solely in your hands.

God forbid that we revisit the mayhem of riots of years past.

#4  Minnesota law allows you to use deadly force, including shooting an intruder, to prevent a felony from occurring in your home. Outside the home, you're SOL.
There are the usual weasel words meaning you can use deadly force outside the home if a) you can't retreat and b) there would be great bodily harm to you or another. I wouldn't want to argue that in a MN court tho.

#5  #1 the Count has it exactly right.

Detroit and Newark never recovered from the riots in the late 60s. Other cities, while not quite so badly off, also never reached what they had been. The emergence of the phrase "Rust Belt" in the 1970s was not an accident.

#6  Several decades ago they had a rapist running around Killen , Texas . He hit a house on the base but the husband was home so he started to run . The Husband ran after him and shot him with a shot gun in his front yard. He call the police . The law then stated you couldn't shoot outside your house. As he started to talk to the Police, an officer came on the phone and stated , "You shot him inside you home , didn't you!. When the police leisurely arrived , they followed the blood trail from the front yard into the house. The crusty old policeman said , " Sure glad you shot the sunabitch inside your house . We've been trying to nail him for a month . "

National Guard deployed in Minneapolis after fatal police shooting of Daunte Wright, 100s defy Mon. pm curfew
More about yesterday’s story here and here. See also more about the shooting here.
[NYPOST] The National Guard was deployed in Minneapolis as hundreds of people looted and rioted into the early hours Monday after a black man was rubbed out while trying to flee arrest less than 10 miles from where George Floyd died.Police officers in riot gear fire tear gas in front of the Brooklyn Center cop shoppe as people gather to protest after a police officer shot and killed a black man in Minnesota.

The fatal shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center came as the Twin Cities was already in a state of high alert over the trial of ex-cop Derek Chauvin, charged with Floyd’s murder last May.

Wright, who had an outstanding warrant, had been pulled over around 2 p.m. Sunday — and was shot after jumping back in his car and trying to race away, crashing to a stop after driving several blocks, police said.

His mother had quickly raced to the scene — and called for calm as crowds soon joined her there, local media said.

But within hours, at least 500 protesters had taken to the streets, according to the Star Tribune — many looting and trashing up to at least 20 stores, officials later revealed.

"Hey! They’re coming!" a man was heard yelling on one video that captured several people running out of a looted store with their hands full of stolen items as nearby car horns repeatedly honked. Other videos appeared to show groups doing victory dances as they left completely trashed stores.

As many carried Black Lives Matter banners through the streets, protesters jumped on top of police vehicles — and started throwing rocks and other projectiles at officers, officials said.

Protesters even "shot up" a police precinct in neighboring Brooklyn Park, with multiple rounds fired through the front door, some reaching the lobby, officials told Fox 9. No one was injured in the attack.

Police fought back against the violent mostly peaceful protesters with tear gas, flash bangs and rubber bullets.

"It feels like we’re in a war zone," one woman said as she filmed live.

One video on social media shows a man lifted up a large slab of cement just feet from a line of riot cops — staggering back to the ground after seemingly getting hit by a rubber bullet before he could throw it.

At least one bullet was fired at a cop shoppe, shattering the front door but not injuring anyone, police told Kare11.

At about 11:30 p.m., Brooklyn Center police declared the crowd an unlawful assembly and said anyone who remained — including journalists — would be arrested, Minnesota Public Radio said.

The National Guard was deployed and arrived just before midnight, the Star Tribune said — with officials announcing that more troops would be arriving throughout Monday to help quell further violence.

Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott also announced a curfew in the city until 6 a.m. Monday.

"We want to make sure everyone is safe. Please be safe and please go home," he said in a tweet.

Elliott said the community is "filled with grief."

"Our hearts are with his family, and with all those in our community impacted by this tragedy," he said.

Gov. Tim Walz said he was "closely monitoring the situation," and was "praying for Daunte Wright’s family as our state mourns another life of a Black man taken by law enforcement."
Correction: A feral creature taken by his own stupidity.
Looting was widespread late Sunday into early Monday, not just in Brooklyn Center — a city of about 30,000 people located on the northwest border of Minneapolis — but spilling into north and south Minneapolis, the local reports noted.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced a curfew from 7 p.m. Monday until 6 a.m. Tuesday for three counties

  • But hundreds of protesters defied that order and were seen gathered in the city Monday evening

  • Concrete barriers were erected outside the Brooklyn Center Police HQ following Daunte Wright's death

  • The Minnesota Twins, Wild and Timberwolves also all postponed their games a day after the shooting

  • Security around downtown Minneapolis already has been heightened because of the trial of Derek Chauvin

States under Socialist-Democrat control will allow riots, looting, arson, rape, murder and even refuse to use the National Guard to restore civil order, in order regain control to win elections.


But once they have control.

Their rioters, looters and ... must behave. Or suddenly the Socialist-Democrat Leadership well become concerned and will use the National Guard.
Heck, they will even go so far as to allow the Police to do their jobs within certain Political Agenda limits.

Iran suspends 'human rights talks' with EU after bloc sanctioned Iranian officials
[SHAFAQ] 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 Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
said on Monday it is suspending talks on human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
with the European Union
...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing...
, after the bloc’s decision to sanction eight Iranian militia commanders and police chiefs, over the deadly crackdown in November 2019.

"Iran is suspending all human rights talks and cooperation resulting from these talks with the EU, especially in the areas of terrorism, drugs and refugees," Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said on Twitter, "condemning" the EU’s decision.

Earlier, the EU imposed sanctions on eight Iranian militia commanders and police chiefs, including the head of the elite Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).
