Eight soldiers were killed and 13 wounded in an attack in northern Togo on Wednesday, the government said, marking potentially the first deadly raid on its territory by Islamist militants who have killed thousands in neighbouring countries.

Before dawn, a group of heavily armed gunmen ambushed an army post in the Kpendjal prefecture near the border with Burkina Faso, the government said in a statement.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attack. The government blamed "terrorists", without providing specifics.

How Western dupes help propagate murderous Palestinian lies
MELANIE PHILLIPS
May 12, 2022

A Palestinian Arab journalist with Al Jazeera, Shireen Abu Akleh, was shot dead this week in a firefight between Hamas and the Israelis in the West Bank city of Jenin.

Western news outlets initially reported uncritically the Hamas claim that the Israelis had shot her, eagerly regurgitating Al Jazeera’s assertion that the Israelis had “assassinated” her “in cold blood.”

When the Israelis said Abu Akleh might have been killed instead by Palestinian gunfire, journalists grudgingly incorporated this into their reporting while continuing to repeat extensively the incendiary but unsupported Palestinian accusation.

Why the Koran Is Responsible for the Slaughter of a Christian Priest
Especially by way of these three verses.
Fri May 13, 2022
Raymond Ibrahim

On April 7, 2022, in Egypt, a Muslim man lunged at and viciously stabbed a Christian priest thrice in the neck with a knife; Fr. Arsenius Wadid died soon thereafter.  Although the murderer was instantly apprehended by passersby—the crime was committed on a crowded street—Egyptian authorities initially tried to do what their Western counterparts often do: portray the murderer as “insane,” an aberration of society.

Due to a combination of public outcry (primarily from the Copts themselves), the testimonials of seventeen eyewitnesses, and even the murderer’s own coherent responses—to say nothing of the fact that of all the people he could have “randomly” murdered he targeted the one openly professing his Christian faith by wearing a large crucifix around his neck—prosecution finally confirmed that he would be tried as sane and cognizant of his actions.

Why both Westerners and non-Westerners constantly seek to portray Muslim murderers of non-Muslims as “insane” should be clear by now: the alternative—that Islam somehow promotes such behavior—would open a massive can of worms that no one wants to deal with.

Proposed US legislation holds Jordan accountable for failure to extradite Hamas terrorist
ISRAEL KASNETT
May 12, 2022

Right before Jordan’s King Abdullah II is to meet with U.S. President Biden at the White House, the parents of an American teenager murdered in a Palestinian terrorist attack in Jerusalem in 2001 are hailing proposed U.S. legislation that would hold the government of Jordan accountable for its years-long refusal to extradite the Hamas terrorist who facilitated the suicide bombing.

Arnold and Frimet Roth’s campaign for justice stems from the murder of their 15-year-old daughter, Malki, who was killed in the suicide bombing at a Sbarro pizzeria in downtown Jerusalem.

“The woman who boasts of having had the key role in the massacre lives freely and famously in Jordan’s capital, protected and celebrated in ways that simply appall us,” said Arnold Roth.

Pak-based Jaish behind the killing of Kashmiri Pandit Rahul Bhat
Masood Azhar (AFP)
Published on May 12, 2022 10:17 PM IST

The terrorists belonging to Pak-based and globally proscribed Jaish-e-Mohammad are suspected to be involved in the killing of the Kashmiri Pandit government employee Rahul Bhat in Jammu and Kashmir's Budgam district.

According to intelligence inputs, the Jaish-e-Mohammad group has been desperate to take action against the minority community in order to keep the terror plot boiling. "After the fall of Afghanistan to Islamist Taliban and globally designated Haqqani network the Jaish-e-Mohammad leadership based in Bahawalpur believes that they can also take on the might of Indian security forces," said a senior security official.

While the JeM chief Maulana Masood Azhar runs a terror factory from Bahawalpur, the Pakistan government for the record has told the FATF that the terror kingpin cannot be located and presumably not in Pakistan.

May 12 2022

A21-year-old woman was charged and detained for trying to kill police officers at Lariboisière Hospital in Paris (Xe) on May 5. It is a strange case that has been investigated by the anti-terrorist justice system without any jihadist trail being investigated so far.
(…)

For no apparent reason, Magassa O. then attacked the female police officer of the railway police (Brigade des réseaux ferrés) and tried to violently mangle and kick her while shouting “Allahu akbar”. (…)

Hamas Has Grossly Humiliated World Media in Gaza (Old Story but still relevant to today)
David Singer
This originally appeared in 2016 (Bob)

A family of 11 previously reported dead in an Israeli air strike in Gaza has turned out to be false – further fuelling the unprecedented furore caused by the Tel Aviv based Foreign Press Association (FPA) issuing the following statement on 11 August slamming Hamas for its treatment of journalists during the current conflict:

 “The FPA protests in the strongest terms the blatant, incessant, forceful and unorthodox methods employed by the Hamas authorities and their representatives against visiting international journalists in Gaza over the past month.

"The international media are not advocacy organisations and cannot be prevented from reporting by means of threats or pressure, thereby denying their readers and viewers an objective picture from the ground.
