Germany: Islamists wanted to kill as many people as possible at two railway stations
February 3, 2022

Within a few weeks, an alarm of terror is sounded twice at German railway stations. Under suspicion: teenagers who sympathise with the terrorist militia IS. About two puzzling cases that pose a fundamental problem for the authorities.
On Friday, January 14, a young man was caught in a police checkpoint at Freiburg railway station. The Italian, 17 years old, had been reported for a residence enquiry in Germany and was armed with a weapon, as the officers discovered on the spot.

Even more alarming for them was that, according to the WELT newspaper, the teenager claimed to be a supporter of the terrorist militia Islamic State (IS). When he was arrested, he told them he wanted to kill as many people as possible.

Maurice Hirsch, Adv. 
Feb 3, 2022

Jalisco cartel adopts Islamic militants’ tactics in its battle in Michoacán
Officials suspect a 'technical advisor' is helping the cartel try out new weapons tech
Published on Friday, February 4, 2022

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) is now using land mines in its fight against official security forces in Michoacán.

One explosive that detonated last Saturday damaged an armored army vehicle and injured 10 soldiers.

The mines used by the CJNG – generally considered Mexico’s most powerful criminal organization – are similar to those deployed by Iraqi insurgents and organizations such as Al-Qaeda and the Taliban in wars against the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan over the past two decades, although not as powerful, the newspaper Milenio reported.

Known as Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, he kept himself wrapped in mystery during his more than two years as the group’s “caliph.” Almost no public photos of him exist, he never appeared in public or in IS videos.

Another Hindu Temple destroyed by fanatic Muslim people in Pakistan.
Islamist radicals in Pakistan destroy a Hinglaj Mata Temple in Sindh province.
Suneeta Kohli | HENB | New Delhi | January 26, 2022::

Pakistani Islamist radicals on Sunday (Jan 16) demolished a Hinglaj Mata Mandir located in Khatri Mohalla, Teh Mithi, Tharparker district of Sindh province. It’s a local temple was being renovated by the Hindu residents of the area. The News is highlighted by the news-agency ANI+, a bit later.

This is the 11th attack on Hindu shrines in the past 22 months in Pakistan.

The charges are serious enough as Lal Malhi, a  Member National Assembly of Pakistan and a parliamentary secretary for Human rights (as claimed in his Twitter handle) alleged that a “under construction Hinglaj Mata temple in Hindu community neighbourhood (Khatri Mohalla) Mithi- Tharparkar rzaed to ground by administration . The so called champion of minority rights, PPP,  is ruling Sindh whilst minorities suffering.” This tweet+ proves that there are so many Islamists inside the Pak adminstration to destroy the interests of the minority people in the country.

A US ambassador said China's choice to have an Uyghur athlete as a torchbearer during the Olympic opening ceremony for the 2022 winter gameswas an attempt to "distract" from the human rights abuses against the Turkic Muslim minority group.

"We've made our position very, very clear on the situation in China. This is not business as usual," US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield told CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday. "We know that a genocide has been committed there."

Inaugural Magazine from ISIS Khorasan Declares Taliban Can ‘Become Our Brother’
Terror group profiles airport bomber and says that "in the present situation, we consider ourselves stronger and more active than before."
By Bridget Johnson
February 7, 2022

The Islamic State in Afghanistan and the surrounding region released its first English-language magazine online, declaring that theirs is the “most important province” of ISIS after Iraq and Syria.

Much of the 37-page Voice of Khurasan inaugural issue, released by Islamic State Wilayah Khorasan’s Al-Azaim Media Foundation, is dedicated to criticizing the Taliban, calling them the “apostate slave organization of the ISI” in Pakistan while laying out conditions under which they could be allies, and trying to lure both local and foreign fighters to join ISIS.

The magazine, which praised the recent ISIS attack on Ghweran prison in Syria and told other ISIS prisoners “we shall come for you,” was released shortly before ISIS core leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi was killed during a U.S. raid last week on his Syria hideout and reverently references his predecessor, late ISIS caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
