Potential Act of Terrorism: FBI Investigates Blast at Fertility Center

Federal authorities are investigating a deadly explosion at a Southern California fertility clinic as an act of terrorism, following revelations that the suspect left behind disturbing online writings and attempted to record or livestream the attack, according to law enforcement sources.

The explosion, which rocked the normally quiet city of Palm Springs on Saturday, tore through the fertility clinic and killed the person believed responsible. Nineteen others were injured in the blast, though none of the victims have been publicly identified.

At a press conference Saturday evening, Akil Davis, head of the FBI’s Los Angeles field office, said the agency is treating the incident as terrorism.

“Make no mistake: This is an intentional act of terrorism,” Davis said.

City Rocked By Terror Attack Suffers Loss Of Major Law Enforcement Official In Apparent Suicide: REPORT

Orleans Parish Assistant District Attorney Ian Kersting allegedly killed himself inside the district attorney’s office building Saturday night, according to WVUE.

Authorities found Kersting dead from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound around 9 p.m. Saturday in District Attorney Jason Williams’s staff offices, WVUE reported.

The 34-year-old was assigned to Orleans Parish’s Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI), an outfit which works in conjunction with New Orleans Police Department detectives to investigate and prosecute sex crimes using DNA evidence, according to the outlet.

“The Orleans Parish DA’s Office family suffered a terrible tragedy Saturday night,” Williams’s office said in a statement obtained by the outlet. “Assistant District Attorney Ian Kersting was a beloved member of our office, and we send our love and deepest condolences to his family,” the statement continued.

Biden Administration Releases 11 Yemeni Terrorists From Guantanamo Bay to Oman

The Biden administration released 11 Yemeni terrorists, who were captured after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, from Guantanamo Bay.

While the men had been “approved for transfer by national security officials” more than two years ago, they were approved to be transferred to Oman on Monday, according to NPR News.

Oman reportedly “agreed to help resettle them and provide security monitoring” for the 11 prisoners, who are described as being “former al-Qaeda members,” according to records from the U.S. Department of Defense.

The outlet noted that the transfers of the prisoners were “originally scheduled to happen in October 2023,” but were paused “due to concerns” regarding the “instability in the Middle East” in the aftermath of Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.

That the plan was resurrected during President Biden’s final two weeks in office signals a last-ditch effort by his administration to shrink Guantanamo’s prisoner population and get closer to his goal of trying to close the facility. In recent weeks, the U.S. has transferred four other Guantanamo inmates — a Kenyan, a Tunisian and two Malaysians — and is preparing for the transfer of at least one more, an Iraqi.

Alleged New Orleans Terrorist Donated To Democrats

Shamsud-Din Jabbar, who the FBI said was killed after committing a New Year’s Eve terror attack in New Orleans has donated to Democrat politicians over the years, Federal Election Commission data shows.

On May 7, 2020, Jabbar gave $15 through ActBlue, listing his job as “consultant” for “EY” (likely Ernst & Young) and his address as Fresno, Texas. The contribution says it was to the Action PAC (now called the Grassroots Law PAC), which that cycle spent $100,000 supporting Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and another $100,000 supporting Jaime Harrison, who is now chair of the Democratic National Committee and at the time was a Senate candidate in South Carolina.

In 2014, Jabbar gave $5 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, listing his job as soldier for the U.S. Army and his address as Fayetteville, North Carolina.

Jabbar was reportedly born in the United States and was an American citizen, but had an ISIS flag when he rammed his truck into a crowd, killing at least 10 and injuring at least 35. (Read more from “Alleged New Orleans Terrorist Donated To Democrats” HERE)

Christians Left Petrified After Attack on Church During Riots as Media Ignores Mob Chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’

Members of the congregation of St Joseph’s church awoke earlier this week to rumours on WhatsApp of the damage spreading, along with other videos seen by GB News that appear to show attacks on Christians in London.

Panicked worshippers raced to the scene to find the pavement littered with smashed pieces of the statue, whose casing was later boarded up.

A furious member of the congregation, who spoke to GB News on condition of anonymity, said: “We had my Dad go and actually see what happened and he saw the pieces of Mother Mary on the floor. Right after I saw that, I initially thought to get this online.”

Inferring media bias, the congregant said: “I knew there wasn’t going to be news coverage on this.”

Asserting the destruction of the statue was “an attack”, the distressed worshipper said the congregation had been trying to ascertain both the identity and the motive of the culprit: “Either it’s a lone, crazy man who did this or someone who had a motive of hatred towards Christians.

3 Palestinian Terror Suspects Caught After Crossing Border Illegally as Overwhelmed Agents Warn: ‘I Probably Let Terrorists In’

Border agents detained three Palestinian migrants who illegally crossed the southern border after they were found to have possible ties to terrorist organizations earlier this month, according to sources.

One of the migrants had “salacious photos” on their phone — including a picture of a masked man holding an AK-47 rifle, federal law enforcement sources said.

In addition to the three Palestinians, federal authorities caught one migrant from Turkey who was also suspected of having ties to terror groups.

The migrants were among groups of dozens of migrants who turned themselves in to border agents at the San Diego sector, said sources.

An investigation into the migrants is ongoing, sources said. The group was transferred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating their cases.

Biden Administration to Withdraw U.S. Forces from Niger

President Joe Biden’s administration faced a setback on the global stage this week as reports emerged indicating the United States is preparing to withdraw its forces from Niger and abandon key military bases in the region.

The decision to pull out approximately a thousand American troops from Niger marks a significant shift in U.S. counterterrorism efforts and security policy in the politically volatile Sahel region of Africa. Stretching across the northern central part of the continent, the Sahel encompasses a vast expanse of territory, including countries such as Senegal, Gambia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and others. It is known for its instability and serves as a breeding ground for various major Islamic terrorist groups, including ISIS and Al-Qaeda.

According to The New York Times, the Biden administration has opted to withdraw troops in the wake of Niger’s democratically elected government being ousted by its own military. This development underscores broader trends in the region, with countries increasingly turning away from Western alliances and forging closer ties with other global powers.

Niger’s pivot towards Russia has been particularly notable, with the country receiving military support and personnel from Moscow’s paramilitary forces. Furthermore, there are indications that Niger is exploring potential agreements with Iran regarding its uranium reserves, while also deepening economic cooperation with China.

For the United States, Niger held strategic importance due to its geographic location, which facilitated critical counterterrorism operations in the region.

FBI Concerned About Coordinated Terror Attack in U.S. Similar to Moscow Concert Hall Attack

Federal law enforcement officials are concerned that terrorists could launch a coordinated attack in the U.S. that is similar to the ISIS-K terrorist attack that was carried out in Russia last month.

Reuters reported that FBI Director Christopher Wray was set to relay this warning to the House of Representatives during a hearing on Thursday.

“Looking back over my career in law enforcement, I’d be hard-pressed to think of a time where so many threats to our public safety and national security were so elevated all at once,” Christopher Wray says in prepared remarks. “But that is the case as I sit here today.”

Several ISIS-K terrorists stormed a concert hall in Moscow late last month and opened fire with automatic while simultaneously setting the sold out venue on fire, killing more than 140 people.

Wray will say that an increasing threat in the U.S. “is the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland, akin to the ISIS-K attack we saw at the Russia Concert Hall a couple weeks ago.” (Read more from “FBI Concerned About Coordinated Terror Attack in U.S. Similar to Moscow Concert Hall Attack” HERE)

Was It an “Accident?” Intel Sources Claim Baltimore Bridge Collapse Was “Absolutely Brilliant Strategic Attack”; FBI Says No Foul Play

By The Gateway Pundit. Early this morning, the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, MD, collapsed after a cargo ship collided with a support column, causing the bridge to collapse. The Francis Scott Key Bridge is a significant commuter route carrying the Baltimore Beltway I-695 over the Patapsco River at the southern end of the Baltimore Harbor.

There are no official reports on casualties yet; however, there are unconfirmed cars in the water and reports of several construction workers unaccounted for. As of just before 5 a.m. EDT, rescue crews have not pulled anyone out of the water. A road crew was fixing potholes on the bridge at the time. Two people were rescued from the water. One was not injured; the other was seriously hurt and was hospitalized. Search efforts are underway for six others who are missing.

In the video below, the ship’s lights can be seen going off and then on again as it appears to pass by the support column. Suddenly and inexplicably, the lights on the cargo ship are turned back on as the ship appears to turn toward the support column and hits it head-on.

The entire span of the bridge immediately collapses IN FRONT of the ship. There have been no reported injuries to any crew members on the cargo ship.

There are many questions surrounding the crash, especially regarding the alleged power outages the cargo ship was experiencing only moments before the crash. The mainstream media continues to report that the curious collision was “an accident.”

No Indication of Terrorism in Baltimore Bridge Collapse, Says FBI

By Breitbart. There is no “credible indication” of terrorism involved in the demise of the Francis Scott Key Bridge after it snapped at around 01:30 local time Tuesday following a container ship crashing into it.

The landmark structure in the U.S. city of Baltimore collapsed into the Patapsco River in the aftermath; however, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore has made clear that “the preliminary investigation points to an accident. We haven’t seen any credible evidence of a terrorist attack.”

Special agent Bill DelBagno of the FBI’s Baltimore field office agreed, saying, “The FBI on very first looking at and assessing this matter from an investigative standpoint, I want to be clear there is no specific or credible information to suggest there are ties to terrorism in this incident.” (Read more from “No Indication of Terrorism in Baltimore Bridge Collapse, Says FBI” HERE)

Alleged Terrorists Responsible for Russian Concert Hall Attack Dragged Into Court, Officially Charged (VIDEO)

Four alleged terrorists responsible for the Moscow concert hall attack were officially charged Sunday, as some of them could be seen being dragged through court, video shows.

Video footage posted to X (formerly known as Twitter) shows one of the four suspected terrorists, identified as Dalerdzhon Mirzoyev, 32, arriving at the Basmanny District Court of Moscow Sunday. Authorities could be seen surrounding Mirzoyev as the 32-year-old walked in face down with his hands handcuffed behind him.

In additional clips of Mirzoyev sitting in court, he could be seen with a heavily bruised face as Russian authorities reportedly tortured all terrorists during their interrogation, the Associated Press reported.

Mirzoyev along with Saidakrami Rachabalizoda, 30, Shamsidin Fariduni, 25, and Mukhammadsobir Faizov, 19 were charged by Russian authorities for the attack against the country’s Crocus City Hall Friday, leaving at least 133 people dead and more than 140 injured, according to AP News. Mirzoyev, Rachabalizoda, and Fariduni all pleaded guilty to the crime, carrying a maximum life imprisonment sentence, the outlet reported.

Along with footage of Mirzoyev, images and video of Rachabalizoda show that he had a heavily bandaged ear which was reportedly cut off during his interrogation with Russian authorities, according to Noel Reports.
