The assaults are part of a surge ​by Boko Haram and its Islamic ​State splinter ISWAP, who have stepped ⁠up deadly attacks on military bases ​and villages in Nigeria’s insurgency-hit northeast.

The gunmen ​raided the villages of Pubagu and Mayo-Ladde in the states of Borno and neighbouring Adamawa, respectively, ​on Tuesday afternoon after overwhelming local ​vigilantes, said Mada Saidu, chairman of Askira-Uba district, ‌where ⁠one of the attacks occurred.

The latest attack in the restive Balochistan province came days ahead of a major security summit being hosted in the capital.

The gunmen stormed the accommodation at a coal mine in Duki district late Thursday night, rounded up the men and opened fire, police official Hamayun Khan Nasir said. He said the attackers also fired rockets, lobbed grenades at the mine and damaged machinery before fleeing.

Most of the casualties were from Pashto-speaking areas of Balochistan. Three of the dead and four of the wounded were Afghan. Angered over the violence, local shop owners pulled their shutters down to observe a daylong strike against the killings.

The separatist Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), which has in recent years carried out attacks on Chinese nationals involved in development projects in Pakistan, has said it carried out the attack.

The so-called Islamic State claimed responsibility for two devastating explosions that killed 84 people at a commemoration in Iran marking Qasem Soleimani’s assassination by the United States.

The Islamist militant extremist group posted a statement on its affiliate Telegram channels taking responsibility for the attack saying two of its members “activated their explosives vests.”

Two bombs exploded in the Iranian city of Kerman on Wednesday and killed scores gathered to commemorate the death of Soleimani, a prominent Iranian general leader killed by a US drone strike in neighboring Iraq in 2020.

The blast was the deadliest attack on Iranian soil in the 45-year history of the Islamic Republic.

The post ‘Islamic State’ claims responsibility for bombings in Iran first appeared on Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.

Demonstrations are going on all over the world, and here in the U. S.  They’re on several university campuses, choking Central Station, the Brooklyn bridge…  They’re waving flags, shouting slogans, demanding a ceasefire?  Maybe somebody should have thought of that a few weeks ago.

The way to break up these demonstrations is to place a big screen where it can’t be avoided.  We don’t want to see what Hamas did, but they need to.  

Informed diplomats are popping up everywhere to demand a humanitarian pause in Israel’s response to the terrorists in Gaza.  Somehow the news anchors are not swayed by terrorists tunnels safely beneath the hospital.  Everybody’s an innocent victim, except that guy on the phone with his parents boasting in near tears about how he’d killed them “with my own hands.”  

I saw a report on a guy who survived the assault on a kibbutz.  He had a Glock.  Otherwise he and his family would have been shot or dragged off as hostages.  The guy killed ten or twelve bad guys and saved his family.  They’re giving interviews.  Israel is going to have to do something about their strict gun laws.  Apparently the demand is surging amid current circumstances.  What sense does it make to be defenseless in that environment?

The Hamas shot-callers are reportedly phoning it in from lavish penthouses in Qatar.  The Israeli military already has assets in Gaza, having cleared a path.  From there, you presumably know the latest on the situation.  Assuming you’re interested.  It’s our job to be interested, and we probably would be anyway.  

Now Erdogan of Turkey is making brave threats about sending his military to the war zone.  

As you’ve heard, Qatar is doing all the negotiating for the hostages.  Somehow they’ve been able to position themselves as the broker of Middle East deals.

Some Iranian diplomat was allowed into the United States where he threatened the U. S. on Iran’s behalf at the UN podium.  Now the Houthis from Yemen have declared war on Israel.   Diplomats are racing around like its WWIII.  Not yet, but the war is threatening to take on new dimensions.  Do those in Lebanon really want Beirut to look like Gaza?  There are drone shots of crowds of young men scouring the powdered concrete blocks.

Maybe I-24 News has the most detailed coverage, but the news channels are Live around the clock.  Black and white target cams obliterate your screen as bombs detonate structures.  They say there are 300 miles of tunnels deep under Gaza city.  Hostages are still being held, even some with American passports.  There will be books written, movies made.  We can’t imagine all that is transpiring in real time.

Israeli forces caught a bunch of the infiltrators.  They were making maybe 25 or 30 of them listen to Israeli nursery music by the hour.  They say they’re conducting interrogations “by the law.”  Some of the target information for all the buildings we see imploding is coming from these guys.  Some reportedly start singing right away, others…  Physical pressure is applied.  You don’t want to know.

The top universities in the U. S. are choked with demonstrations on behalf of… Hamas?  Yes, you read it right.  

Now we’re wondering if the terror will come to the United States.  The F.B.I. Director said it’s a strong possibility.  The border is leaking at a tremendous rate.  We can’t even stand to watch as huge crowds stream toward the crossings.  Just another day for those responsible.  They send some moron before Congress to explain how it’s all under control.  Department of what? 

So the terrorists are making brave threats.  Americans will pay for their support of Israel, they boast.  You don’t suppose some terrorist network has infiltrated amid the border charade?  They’re not sure who all got away, but as we’ve seen the “immigrants” are coming from all over the world.

Congress is wrestling with funding.  As you know, the administration is lobbying for Ukraine funding and financial help for Israel be lumped together.  Some, growing weary of backing the skirmish in Ukraine, want the two issues decoupled.  An interview with someone in the know in the top echelons of Ukraine made the reporter turn off his tape recorder, and then said they’re stealing “like there’s no tomorrow,” speaking of the distribution of U. S. aid.  We suspected so.

You know Al Gore must be pacing the floor, worried that there are more immediate threats than his desperate view of the future. We weren’t buying it anyway.

Across the barrier wall enclosing the coastal enclave, Israeli soldiers collected the last of the dead four days after Islamist Hamas gunmen rampaged through towns in the deadliest attack in Israel’s history.

Israel has vowed to take “mighty revenge”, calling up hundreds of thousands of reservists and placing Gaza, crowded home to 2.3 million people, under total siege.

Israel’s embassy in Washington said the death toll from the weekend Hamas attacks had surpassed 1,000, dwarfing all modern Islamist attacks on the West except for 9/11.

The United States called for Israel to ensure accountability for the settler rampage against Palestinians, condemned the terror attack at a West Bank gas station and slammed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s announcement that he planned to build 1,000 new homes in the Eli settlement.

“Accountability and justice should be pursued with equal rigor in all cases of extremist violence,” US State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel told reporters in Washington on Wednesday after a violent three days in the West Bank, sparked by an IDF arrest raid in Jenin on Monday during which five Palestinians were killed.

That was followed by a Palestinian terror attack against a gas station near the Eli settlement that claimed four Israelis’ lives on Tuesday. Settlers overnight attacked the nearby Palestinian town of Turmus Ayya setting homes and cars ablaze. One Palestinian man was killed during the violence.

“We strongly condemn yesterday’s terror attack” outside Eli, Patel said, adding that there is “no justification for terrorism.”

Overall, he said, “We are deeply concerned by the rising levels of violence in the West Bank in recent months.”
