Terrorists Turn to New, High-Tech Weapon for Attacks

/0 Comments/in , /by

Middle East terrorists are turning to drones, making the technology a “clear security threat around the world.”

The Investigative Project on Terrorism reported Israel has intercepted repeated attempts by terror factions to fly drones into its air space.

“But that doesn’t mean its adversaries have given up on using the tool, or that they aren’t further developing their drone attack capability,” the report said.

The Israel Defense Forces handle threats from outside the nation while the police respond to drone threats from inside.

“A milestone incident underscoring the growing reliance on drones by radical actors came on Sept. 14, 2019, when a swarm of Iranian military attack drones crashed into Saudi oil installations, together with cruise missiles,” the report said. “Saudi Arabia’s Aramco oil and natural gas company was forced to suspend 50 percent of its oil production in the aftermath. For the Islamic Republic, it was an exhibition of its new attack capabilities, and a message meant to cow Iran’s Sunni-Arab state rivals.” (Read more from “Terrorists Turn to New, High-Tech Weapon for Attacks” HERE)

“They know if they do anything against us, they will pay 1,000 fold,” Trump said, adding, “They’ve been put on notice: If you f**k around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before.”

The audio was censored before it went to radio stations across the country, but it was caught on the live “Dittocam” of Limbaugh for his subscribers. . .

Federal Prisons Are Failing To Monitor Communication Between Terrorist Inmates, Audit Finds

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Federal Bureau of Prisons is not properly monitoring the communication of inmates with ties to terrorism, an audit by the Department of Justice’s inspector general (IG) Wednesday found.

The IG’s 61-page report showed that the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) did not take adequate steps to track cellblock conversations, phone calls, emails, postage mail, and video sessions of domestic and international terrorist inmates.

The audit also found that the BOP failed to realize that 28 individuals who fit the federal definition of an international or domestic terrorist were even in its custody.

“We identified significant deficiencies related to the BOP’s identification of terrorist inmates and its monitoring of terrorist, other high-risk, and general population inmate communications,” the audit said.

“Specifically, we found the BOP’s list of terrorist inmates provided to us at the beginning of our audit did not include 28 incarcerated individuals that had an identified nexus to terrorism and, as a result, their communications were likely not monitored according to BOP policy,” the audit continued.

Alleged Al-Qaida Assassination Squad Leader Arrested in Arizona

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The head of an alleged al-Qaida in Iraq assassination squad that killed at least two Iraqi policemen and possibly more in Fallujah has been arrested in Arizona and faces extradition to Iraq to stand trial.

Ali Yousif Ahmed Al-Nouri, 42, faces two murder charges in Iraq for the 2006 assassinations. He faces a detention and extradition hearing on Wednesday in federal court in Arizona.

Iraqi investigators complied witnesses statements immediately after the separate 2006 killings, ultimately finding that Nouri was living near Phoenix through Facebook searches, according to court documents.

Combined eyewitness accounts identified Nouri as the leader of a cell of al-Qaida in Iraq operating in Anbar Province, mostly in Fallujah, where he worked as a carpenter.

Members of the killing crew who were later arrested also told police that Nouri was the emir, or group leader. (Read more from “Alleged Al-Qaida Assassination Squad Leader Arrested in Arizona” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Law enforcement officials in London shot and killed a man on Sunday who allegedly went on a mass stabbing spree in a “terrorist-related” attack. . .

“As part of a proactive Counter Terrorism operation, armed officers were in immediate attendance and shot a male suspect, who was pronounced dead at the scene,” D’Orsi continued. “A device was found strapped to the body of the suspect and specialist officers attended. Cordons were put in place and it was quickly established that this was a hoax device.”

“The situation has been contained and officers from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command are now leading an investigation into the incident,” D’Orsi added. “The incident was quickly declared as a terrorist incident and we believe it to be Islamist-related.”

British Prime Minister responded to the attack by tweeting, “Thank you to all emergency services responding to the incident in Streatham, which the police have now declared as terrorism-related. My thoughts are with the injured and all those affected.”

Johnson later added: “An investigation is taking place at pace to establish the full facts of what happened, and the Government will provide all necessary support to the police and security services as this work goes on.” (Read more from “Muslim Goes on Stabbing Spree in London Terror Attack” HERE)

Trump to Designate Mexican Cartels as Terrorist Organizations

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump told Bill O’Reilly he will designate some Mexican cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO). His comments came during an interview released on Tuesday.

“The Mexican drug cartels kill more than 100,000 Americans every year by the importation of dangerous narcotics,” O’Reilly said to President Trump during an interview aired on O’Reilly.com. “Are you going to designate those cartels in Mexico as terror groups?”

“They will be designated … I have offered him (the Mexican president) to let us go in and clean it out,” President Trump responded. “He, so far, has rejected the offer. But at some point, something has to be done.” . . .

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) told reporters on Monday that he would not accept a move to designate cartels as FTOs, Breitbart Texas reported. “We will never accept that, we are not ‘vendepatrias’ (nation sellers),” the Mexican president stated.

“On Monday morning, Lopez Obrador’s foreign relations minister Marcelo Ebrard called designations unnecessary and inconvenient, adding that the U.S. and Mexico have a healthy working relationship in fighting cartels,” Breitbart Texas journalist Ildefonso Ortiz and Breitbart Border/Cartel Chronicles project Director Brandon Darby wrote. “According to Ebrard, terrorist designations would give the U.S. the legal avenue to take direct action on cartels on Mexican soil.” (Read more from “Trump to Designate Mexican Cartels as Terrorist Organizations” HERE)

Parents of ISIS Hostage Relieved by Terrorist Leader’s Death, Slam Obama

/2 Comments/in , /by

By USA Today. Terrorist leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who the president said was killed during a special forces raid in Syria, had reportedly been the captor and tormentor of Arizona’s Kayla Mueller, who was taken hostage in 2013.

“What this man did to Kayla — he kidnapped her,” her father Carl Mueller, his voice choking, told The Arizona Republic on Sunday morning, shortly after President Donald Trump announced al-Baghdadi had died. . .

On Sunday, the Muellers praised President Donald Trump and the soldiers who pulled off the mission.

“We are so grateful for them … we are so grateful,” Marsha Mueller said. They were glad there was no loss of life on our side. They are grateful their daughter and the others who were tortured and killed by ISIS have not been forgotten.

“I still say Kayla should be here, and if Obama had been as decisive as President Trump, maybe she would have been,” Marsha Mueller said. (Read more from “Parents of ISIS Hostage Relieved by Terrorist Leader’s Death, Slam Obama” HERE)

FBI Warns of a New Type of Domestic Terrorist Threat

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A newly discovered FBI document shows that the Bureau has, for the first time, started to identify fringe conspiracy theories as a new type of domestic terrorist threat.

The document, obtained exclusively by Yahoo! News, came out of the Bureau’s Phoenix field office a little over two months ago.

The FBI decribed “‘conspiracy theory-driven domestic extremists’ as a growing threat, and notes that it is the first such report to do so,” Yahoo! News reported. “It lists a number of arrests, including some that haven’t been publicized, related to violent incidents motivated by fringe beliefs.” . . .

President Donald Trump and Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA) have all pushed, in recent weeks, to designate the far-left group Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.

For example, Trump recently tweeted: “Consideration is being given to declaring ANTIFA, the gutless Radical Left Wack Jobs who go around hitting (only non-fighters) people over the heads with baseball bats, a major Organization of Terror (along with MS-13 & others). Would make it easier for police to do their job!”

Watch: De Blasio Quotes Communist Terrorist, Democrats Demand Apology

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrat presidential candidate Bill de Blasio quoted communist terrorist Che Guevara on Thursday while speaking during a union rally at Miami International Airport, which prompted Democrats to demand that he apologize.

De Blasio “dropped Che’s most famous quote as he joined workers who walked off the job in protest of poor conditions and compensation,” the Miami Herald reported. “Before giving up the microphone to the next speaker, de Blasio blurted a quote from one of the most hated historical figures throughout Miami: ‘Hasta la victoria, siempre.'”

“The phrase — which translates roughly to ‘Ever on to victory!’ — was a mantra for Guevara, who became one of Fidel Castro’s top lieutenants,” the Herald added. “Raul Castro uttered the quote on Cuban television when he announced to the world that his older brother had died.” . . .

Democrat Florida State Senator José Javier Rodríguez, whose district includes Little Havana, demanded that De Blasio apologize for quoting communist terrorist Che Guevara.

Terry Rizzo, who is the chair of the Florida Democratic Party, tweeted: “Mayor Bill DeBlasio does not speak for Floridians or the Florida Democratic Party and he would be wise to apologize.”

Ilhan Omar Refuses to Comment on Terrorist Recruitment in Her District

/0 Comments/in , /by

By PJ Media. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) declined to address a report that found the highest level of terrorist group recruitment has taken place in her congressional district.

According to a Fox News report from February, “More men and boys from a Somali American community in Minneapolis have joined – or attempted to join – a foreign terrorist organization over the last 12 years than any other jurisdiction in the country.” The city of Minneapolis is located in Omar’s district.

“FBI stats show 45 Somalis left to join the ranks of either the Somalia-based Islamic insurgency al-Shabab, or the Iraq- and Syria-based ISIS combined. And as of 2018, a dozen more had been arrested with the intention of leaving to support ISIS,” stated the report. . .

“What steps are you taking to deter extremism and the recruitment from terrorist organizations going on in your district?” she was asked. (Read more from “Ilhan Omar Refuses to Comment on Terrorist Recruitment in Her District” HERE)

Ilhan Omar Owes Minnesota $4,000

By The Jerusalem Post. The Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board last week ordered Rep. Ilhan Omar to reimburse $3,469.23 in campaign funds that were improperly directed to accounting expenses and out-of-state travel. She must also pay a $500 civil fine.

Specifically, the board found that Omar made a $1,500 payment to her lawyer, which was used to reimburse the accounting firm Frederick and Rosen Ltd. The payment was made so the campaign committee could independently obtain Omar’s tax returns and rebut a blogger’s accusation that she married her brother.

“During the investigation, the Omar committee provided responses explaining that after Rep. Omar won the primary for Minnesota House of Representatives District 60B in August 2016, a blog posted an article with allegations that Rep. Omar was not married to the person she referred to as her husband, and that she was actually married to her brother as part of an immigration scheme,” it explained in the report published by the State of Minnesota board. “The Omar committee created a crisis committee to respond to the allegations.” (Read more from “Ilhan Omar Owes Minnesota $4,000” HERE)
