During the lull between Christmas and the new year, something alarming flashed up on Heathrow Airport’s specialist scanning technology.
From the depths of a shipment of scrap metal, a radioactive signal.
While false alerts can sometimes be triggered, this one was not one of them.
Metal bars embedded with uranium had made the 3,700-mile journey to London from Pakistan, via Muscat in Oman.
Headline writers have a challenging job before them (note that they are rarely, if ever, the same people who actually write columns or news stories in the media). They have to read an article, understand it, figure out something to write in less than 10 words that captures the essence of the piece, and compose it in such a way that the reader sees it and says, “Wow! I really want to read the whole thing now!”
At least 40 individuals on the US terrorist watch list have been nabbed while trying to enter the country in the last month, according to US Customs and Border Protection.
In October, nine people whose names are flagged on the terror watch list tried to sneak over the US border illegally, circumventing border walls or crossing at a point between official points of entry and later being detained by the US Border Patrol.
An additional 31 suspected terrorists were stopped at usual ports of entry by customs agents — 25 at the US-Canadian border and the six at the southern border.
WTF? Just who is in charge of immigration in Canada?
Justin Trudeau, Canada’s charismatic young Prime Minister, seeks to cultivate a progressive image. The Wall Street Journal calls him “the world’s golden boy of liberal politics,” while lamenting that a corruption scandal tarnished his “rock-star popularity.” Much of his progressive façade, however, rests on an embrace of identity politics. And, as often happens when ethnic lobbies trump individuals, radicalism wins while the silent majority loses out.
Ripudaman Singh Malik, the man acquitted in the 1985 Air India terrorist bombing, appears to have been killed in a shooting in Surrey, B.C., according to several media outlets.
Vancouver radio station CKNW says Malik’s family has confirmed his death, while the Vancouver Sun says it has confirmed his death with a number of sources.
Jagmeet gonna be SAD!
America remains vulnerable to pathogens.
American counterterrorism experts’ biggest fear remains a biological w eapons attack in the United States. A conventional bomb can kill hundreds or even thousands, but a biological weapon can surreptitiously invade, spread, mutate, and kill millions. Biological weapons have been used throughout history, from poisoning wells to “gifting” smallpox-infected blankets. Whether you believe that Covid-19 came from bats sold in a wet market or escaped from a Chinese lab, terrorists are observing the pandemic’s toll on America and taking notes for a future biological attack. What lessons might they have learned from America’s reaction to Covid?
The Supreme Court on Friday reinstated the death penalty sentence imposed on Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, reversing a lower federal appeals court ruling that had voided that punishment.
In its 6-3 ruling, the high court rejected arguments by Tsarnaev’s lawyers that his trial judge erred in barring certain questions to prospective jurors, and in blocking evidence of his brother Tamerlan’s role in a prior triple murder.
Read the definition of ‘terrorism’ again, and it will suddenly dawn on you that the largest terrorist organization in the world is not Al Qaida or ISIS, but the government of the United States. The CCP is probably the second-largest terrorist organization in the world, having worked with the government of the United States and the leaders of other Western countries to commit the largest act of terrorism in human history.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has released a video on his official website showing the assassination of former U.S. President Donald Trump. The computer generated video, published on Wednesday, depicts Iranian military drones and unmanned combat vehicles closing in on President Trump as he plays golf at his Florida residence.
Experts are blinded by the threat of the far-Right
… What is even more curious is the incuriosity of the elite media and extremism experts about the Brooks case. Had he been a white male who had expressed misogynistic views about women it is certain that they would have staged a giant moral panic about the global menace of incels and the far-Right.
But Brooks, who is a registered sex offender and trader in online hate, has attracted little sustained discussion or concern. To be clear: I’m not saying that the Brooks case should occasion a moral panic, or that he be given a terrorism charge. There’s still much that we don’t know about him, his state of mind, motives and indeed mental health. But I do think we should ask questions about the selection bias of the credentialed commentators and experts who command so much of our attention.
A good rule of thumb is that if you notice Islamic terror, you’re the Islamophobe. Even if you’re a teenager who was taken captive and raped by ISIS.
Turns out that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a big fan of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. With all the troubles in the world, our PM couldn’t refrain from giving praise to the Guru this week.
Written materials allegedly found by police following the June killing of a Muslim family in London, Ont., indicate the alleged attacker was influenced by the gunman who took 51 lives at two New Zealand mosques in 2019.
Multiple sources familiar with the investigation confirmed to Global News that a large volume of ideological writings, some allegedly penned by the suspect himself, were seized during the investigation into the vehicle attack that left four dead.
Police are on high alert in the Washington, DC area and Northern Virginia after an apparent threat of attack from The Islamic State.
“We have increased our police presence throughout the county to include major thoroughfares, transit hubs, shopping plazas and shopping malls,” Fairfax County police chief Kevin Davis said to CBS News on Friday.
