An #explosion rocked a concert hall in the Moscow region & several #gunmen opened fire on theatergoers Fri evening, acc/to Russian authorities & videos from the scene, a deadly attack >1 week after #Putin was re-elected.
After a period of relative quiet, the #IslamicState has been trying to increase its external attacks, acc/to #US#counterterrorism ofcls. Most of those plots in #Europe have been thwarted, prompting assessments that the group had diminished capabilities.
“#ISISK has been fixated on #Russia for the past 2 years,” frequently criticizing President Vladimir V. #Putin in its #propaganda, said Colin P. Clarke, a counterterrorism analyst at the Soufan Group, a #security consulting firm based in NY.
Since the beginning of 2024, Mozambique's northernmost province of Cabo Delgado has been engulfed in a new wave of violence. Repeated clashes between armed insurgents and security forces have been rife in several coastal towns. As a result, around 100,000 people, including over 61,000 children, were displaced between early...
Today, we had a largish raid group of 11+ to take on an #OriginFormePalkia in - it turned out to be a good raid.
Just for fun, my strongest ditto was backing up my mega salamence who was in #1 position. Turns out that the ditto's shapeshift did not cancel out my salamance's mega form which was a happy surprise 😁
With Russia's internal security apparatus concentrating on suppressing dissent, this was bound to happen. They took their eye off other internal and much deadlier threats - this won't be the last one.
#MOSCOW, #Russia – At least 40 people were killed and 145 wounded on Friday, March 22, when camouflage-clad gunmen opened fire on concertgoers near Moscow, with #IslamicState claiming responsibility for what was one of the deadliest attacks on Russia in decades. #Ukraine
"Wednesday’s deadly bombing in southern #Iran of a memorial service for a senior #Iranian general was actually carried out under the orders of #Israel, despite claims by the #IslamicState terrorist group that it carried out the attack, a website affiliated with Iran’s #Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said Friday.
According to an unsourced account on the #IRGC’s Tasnim news site, “the #Zionist regime ordered the #ISIS caliphate to accept the responsibility for this action,” using a reference to Israel."
#MANILA, #Philippines – #IslamicState militants claimed responsibility for a deadly bombing at a #CatholicMass in the Philippines on Sunday, December 3, that killed at least four people and injured 50 others.
The attack was carried out in a university gymnasium in #Marawi, a city in the south of the country besieged by Islamist militants for five months in 2017.
#CAIRO — After a long journey from #Gaza, more than 100 American citizens and their families have entered #Egypt through the #RafahCrossing. Jonathan Webster, the #USEmbassy in Cairo's consul general, said some of those families are telling him they ran out of food and water during their journeys. #Israel
At least 84 people died when two blasts ripped through the crowd near #Suleimani’s tomb in the city of #Kerman, four years after he was killed by a US drone strike in #Baghdad. Suleimani had been a staunch enemy of IS, which resents the damage he did to its cause in #Iraq and #Syria. #ISIS#Israel
The #US learned that the terror group #IslamicState (IS) was behind Wednesday’s twin bomb attacks in Iran that killed dozens from “communications intercepts”, Reuters is reporting. #KermanBombing#Iran#Israel
The strikes in #Pakistan came less than a day after Iranian missile strikes in #Syria and #Iraq, part of a string reprisals against #Tehran’s enemies in the wake of a double suicide bombing in the city of #Kerman on 3 January which killed more than 80 Iranians. #IslamicState (IS) claimed responsibility for that attack. #Balochistan#KermanBombing#Israel#Gaza
I’m getting really tired of misinformation from keyboard warriors in this conflict by biased people. The Rafah Crossing between Egypt and Gaza is controlled by Egypt, not Israel.
This crossing has also been under tight control since 2013 when they had their own extremist insurgency they had to deal with.
Everyone also is talking about Israel but no one talks about how Jordan, Egypt, and others don’t really care to help Palestinians either. Palestinians are getting fucked six ways to Sunday
@bp@Azih@chiefgyk3d It’s sad really. Living in peace in a home is the dream of billions of people, & I am disappointed that fellow Arabian nations are not trying to take in the residents of #Gaza. I remember when #Europe made the decision to take in refugees from #Syria 🇸🇾 (who were fleeing #IslamicState / #ISIS) & despite the backlash, they took them in.
Fears that #Israel or international partners could pressure #Egypt into accepting millions of #Palestinians settling in the #Sinai have abounded for decades in #Cairo: #HosniMubarak strenuously denied reports in 2017 that he had cut a deal with #MargaretThatcher in 1983 to resettle Palestinians exiled in Lebanon in the peninsula, adding that #BenjaminNetanyahu, had also proposed the idea in 2010.
One of the officers leading the assistance is Marine Corps Lt Gen #JamesGlynn, who previously helped lead special operations forces against the #IslamicState and served a high-profile role during intense combat in #Falluja, one of the bloodiest and most controversial centers of battle for US forces during the war in #Iraq.
🥳 Today is the anniversary of the liberation of #Minbij!
➡️ On 15.8.2016, our #YPJ/#YPG/#SDF forces liberated Minbij from #ISIS
➡️This marked the end of more than 2 and a half years of rule of the #IslamicState
➡️ Women who were liberated by YPJ fighters hugged them and burnt the black veils that ISIS forced them to wear
