— A stabbing spree at East Street Market in south London left one dead and two injured on Sunday morning. Police arrested a man in his 60s at the scene. While they have not shared details about the suspect or his motives, they do not believe it is terror-related, hinting that mental health issues might be involved.
Witnesses described a chaotic scene as the attacker randomly targeted people. An unnamed fabric seller said, “I just saw a bloke running through the market stabbing people willy-nilly.” The attack happened around 10:30 am when the market was getting busy.
The witness immediately called police after seeing two men stabbed, noting one appeared severely injured. Emergency services quickly arrived but sadly, one victim died from injuries despite their efforts.

UK STABBING HORROR: Terror Charges Shock Nation
— The Merseyside police in England have admitted they are “restricted” from sharing details about the Southport attack in July, which killed three young girls. Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, 18, faces terror-related charges alongside murder and attempted murder charges. Authorities found ricin and al Qaeda training materials at his property.
Rudakubana allegedly carried out a stabbing spree on July 29 during a Taylor Swift-themed dance class, killing Alice Dasilva Aguiar, Elsie Dot Stancombe, and Bebe King. Despite finding terror-related materials, police have not declared the incident as terrorism due to an undetermined motive.
The Crown Prosecution Service has guided the police on public statements to protect court proceedings’ integrity. This has sparked criticism over perceived secrecy by authorities following the Southport attack north of Liverpool.
Toby Young from the Free Speech Union suggested that withholding information aims to avoid prejudicing Rudakubana’s trial. The motive is expected to be a significant issue during legal proceedings.
TEENAGER CHARGED: AL Qaeda Manual and Deadly Ricin Found
— Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, 18, is facing serious charges under the UK’s Terrorism Act. Authorities found an al Qaeda training manual and ricin poison at his home. These charges add to previous accusations of murder and attempted murder.
Rudakubana allegedly carried out a deadly knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, UK. The attack killed three young girls and injured several others. This tragedy has shocked the community and raised concerns about safety at public events.
Tests confirmed that the substance found was ricin, but officials reassured the public that exposure risk was low. Dr. Renu Bindra from the UK Health Security Agency stated there was no evidence of public exposure to ricin during or after the incident.
The case continues as Rudakubana stays in custody following his court appearance in Liverpool on August 1, 2024. The investigation into this tragic event is ongoing as authorities seek justice for the victims and their families.
TEEN FACES Shocking BIO-Weapon Charges: Ricin and Terror Links Exposed
— Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, 18, now faces serious terrorism and bio-weapon charges on top of murder and attempted murder accusations. He was arrested after a knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed party in Southport that left three young girls dead. The new charges involve making ricin and having an Al-Qaeda training manual.
Merseyside Police found evidence in Rudakubana’s home leading to these additional charges. Ricin is a deadly poison that could be used as a weapon if refined. Despite this, UK Health Security Agency officials assured the public there’s no risk from the ricin discovered at his property.
Authorities stressed these terrorism-related charges do not mean the Southport attack was an act of terror. Counter Terrorism Policing hasn’t labeled it as such since motive must be proven for it to be considered terrorism.
Merseyside Police addressed public worries about transparency and rumors regarding withheld information, promising they aim to avoid affecting any trial while staying open with communities. They confirmed no information is being purposely kept from the public.
GERMANY FOILS Isis Plot: Arrest Sparks Security Alert
— German authorities have arrested a Libyan man suspected of planning an attack on the Israeli embassy in Berlin. The arrest happened in the Bernau suburb, stopping a potential terror act. The suspect intended to flee to Sankt Augustin and eventually leave Germany after carrying out the attack.
Israel’s ambassador to Germany, Ron Prosor, praised German authorities for keeping the embassy safe. He emphasized that “Muslim anti-Semitism” fuels global terrorism and endangers embassy staff. Local Interior Minister Herbert Reul warned those threatening Jewish life in Germany: "We are on your trail!
This arrest follows a recent shooting by an 18-year-old Austrian citizen of Bosnian descent at the Israeli consulate in Munich. The attack also targeted a nearby museum dedicated to National Socialism documentation. These events highlight ongoing threats against Jewish institutions in Europe.
RUSHDIE ATTACKER Charged: Hezbollah Support Sparks Outrage
— Hadi Matar, the man accused of trying to murder Salman Rushdie, now faces charges of supporting Hezbollah. A recent court filing in New York alleges Matar provided “material support” to the terrorist group.
Matar, 26, was charged with stabbing Rushdie on Aug. 12, 2022, at the Chautauqua Institution. Rushdie was airlifted to a hospital and underwent life-saving surgery.
Matar refused a plea deal that required him to plead guilty to a federal terrorism-related charge. Now unsealed in U.S. District Court in Buffalo, he faces additional charges for his alleged ties to Hezbollah.
If convicted on any charges, authorities will confiscate several electronic devices from Matar, including hard drives and cellphones. The indictment highlights the severity of his alleged connections with the Iran-backed terrorist group based in Lebanon.
TERROR PLOT Thwarted: Two Charged with Targeting Jews and UK Forces
— Two men, Walid Saadaoui, 36, and Amar Hussein, 50, have been charged with planning terrorist attacks against Jewish individuals and UK security personnel. The charges were presented in Westminster Magistrates’ Court. They allegedly intended to use automatic weapons for the assaults between December 13 and last Thursday.
This case is part of a disturbing increase in antisemitism in the UK. The rise came after tensions escalated between Hamas and Israel starting October 7. The Community Security Trust has stressed the urgent need for increased security measures to protect the Jewish community.
A third individual, Bilel Saadaoui, 35, faces charges related to preparing for his brother Walid’s potential death as part of these plans. He has pleaded not guilty to failing to disclose information about the terrorism plot. His defense argues that Bilel was unaware of his brother’s alleged plans.
The suspects were apprehended by Greater Manchester Police and are currently detained without bail pending further court proceedings on May 24 at the Central Criminal Court as investigations into these grave allegations continue.
ISLAMIC STATE Plot to Kill Jews in England Foiled
— Two men accused of plotting to gun down Jews in an Islamic State-inspired attack were held without bail Tuesday after appearing in a London court. Walid Saadaoui, 36, and Amar Hussein, 50, planned to use automatic weapons to kill Jews, police, and military personnel. The charges cover activities from Dec. 13 until last Thursday.
The arrests come amid a surge in antisemitic incidents in the U.K., which hit record highs last year. This spike followed Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel and Israel’s subsequent military actions in Gaza. Community Security Trust reported these troubling trends as part of their advocacy against antisemitism.
Amanda Bomsztyk, northern regional director of the trust, emphasized the need for extensive security measures for the Jewish community due to such threats. “This is one of a number of recent and ongoing cases that demonstrate why the Jewish community needs such extensive security measures,” she said.
A third man, Bilel Saadaoui, 35, was also charged with making arrangements for his brother Walid Saadaoui’s expected death during the plot’s execution. The case underscores ongoing security concerns for Jewish communities worldwide amid rising extremist threats.
IRANIAN JOURNALIST Brutally Stabbed in London: Suspects Vanish Without a Trace
— Iran International presenter, Pouria Zeraati, was brutally attacked outside his London residence last Friday. The culprits, two men who made their escape in a vehicle driven by an accomplice, have reportedly left the U.K., says Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command’s Commander Dominic Murphy.
The motive for the assault remains shrouded in mystery. However, Zeraati’s occupation and recent threats against Iranian journalists based in the U.K. have triggered a counterterrorism probe. Iran International has been on the receiving end of threats due to its coverage of Iran.
The Iranian government refutes any involvement with this incident. Nevertheless, law enforcement officials have intercepted several schemes aimed at targeting individuals perceived as adversaries of Iran within the U.K. In response to mounting “state-backed threats from Iran,” Iran International temporarily moved its operations from London to Washington D.C., before settling at a new location in London last September.

HEROIC Navy Seals SACRIFICED in Iranian Weapons Seizure: Four Arrested
— Four individuals of foreign nationality have been charged after a vessel was intercepted in the Arabian Sea. The U.S. Navy seized the ship, which was allegedly carrying Iranian-made weapons.
In a devastating turn of events, two brave Navy SEALs lost their lives during this operation. The fallen warriors were identified as Navy Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Christopher J. Chambers and Navy Special Warfare Operator 2nd Class Nathan Gage Ingram.
David Sundberg, Assistant Director of the FBI Washington Field Office, stated that these charges serve as a stern warning to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). He stressed that any hostile actions from foreign governments will not go unchecked by the U.S..
The FBI and other U.S Government agencies pledge to persistently disrupt attempts by hostile foreign entities aiming to instill fear and inflict harm through violent means.

UK Judges DISMISS Security Threats, HAND Citizenship to Isis Propagandist
— British judges have recently overlooked concerns raised by the Home Office regarding a Sudanese migrant, referred to as “S3”. This individual entered the UK illegally in 2005 and again in 2018. Despite having his British passport revoked due to active dissemination of ISIS propaganda, he has now been granted UK citizenship and permanent anonymity.
S3’s legal representation argued that his deportation would infringe upon his human rights. They cited potential detention and torture risks in Sudan as reasons for him to remain in the UK. This argument swayed the justices, even though S3 has made multiple trips back to Sudan without facing any form of persecution. During one such visit in December 2016, he allegedly used social media platforms to spread ISIS propaganda.
The government presented a case suggesting that S3 is a threat to national security. MI5 claimed that he showed unwavering commitment towards extremist ideologies propagated by ISIS and could potentially influence others towards radicalization. However, his lawyers successfully invoked provisions from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) preventing his deportation.
Prominent Brexiteers like Nigel Farage believe that Rishi Sunak’s government must withdraw from ECHR for regaining control over Britain’s borders. The ECHR has been previously used as a shield against deportation for at least 53 convicted terrorists.
IRAN’S Death March: Over 100 Lives Silenced Since Hamas Attack
— Since the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7, Iran has silenced over a hundred lives, drawing global scrutiny. This alarming surge in executions, referred to as Tehran’s “execution spree,” was spotlighted by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) on November 15, 2023.
The NCRI revealed this disturbing trend while the United Nations General Assembly’s Third Committee was contemplating a resolution to condemn Iran’s human rights abuses. Despite numerous UN rebukes for their “systematic and widespread violation of human rights,” the Iranian regime remains undeterred in its brutal execution campaign.
The council implored the international community to isolate Iran as a response to these heinous actions. The NCRI denounced any form of appeasement with Iran, notorious for its record-breaking executions and warmongering activities. They argued that such tolerance clearly contradicts international human rights standards.
Independent news outlet Al-Monitor reported that since October 7, Iran has executed 114 people for “fabricated crimes,” including vague charges like “corruption on Earth” and “enmity against God.” While the NCRI estimates slightly fewer executions at around 107 so far, they anticipate this number will continue to escalate in the coming days and weeks. This grim situation emphasizes an urgent call-to-action against Iran’s ongoing human rights
IDENTITIES SOUGHT: British Transport Police Hunt Men Behind Racial Clash Amid Anti-Israel Protests
— Images of four men involved in a racially charged incident at a London metro station have been released by the British transportation police. The incident took place during anti-Israel protests which drew hundreds of thousands to the city streets.
The London Metropolitan Police had previously recognized videos showing unacceptable abuse, including anti-Semitic language and threatening behavior. The responsibility for investigating these incidents now lies with the British Transport Police (BTP), who oversee safety on the transport system.
On Sunday, BTP publicized four images stating they wish to interview the men shown following an incident at Waterloo Station. They believe these individuals possess critical information for their investigation.
A video making rounds online shows these four men hurling racial slurs and threats at pro-Palestinian demonstrators inside Waterloo Station. One man can be seen confronting another group before being restrained by his friend.
ALARMING Surge in ANTISEMITIC Crimes: London Deploys Over 1,000 Officers Ahead of Rally
— In response to a disturbing increase in antisemitic hate crimes, Scotland Yard has deployed over a thousand officers. This action precedes a pro-Palestinian rally planned for tomorrow. The extent of HAMAS support among London’s Muslim and secular radical populations is yet to be determined.
London’s Muslim community, which makes up about one-sixth of the city’s population, has grown to 1.3 million due to diversity and mass immigration policies by the two main political parties. In contrast, census data shows that the Jewish population has decreased to an estimated 265,000.
Following the deadly HAMAS attack on October 7 that took over 1,000 Jewish lives, numerous protests have erupted. As antisemitic incidents in Britain have escalated since the conflict began, two Jewish schools in London have decided to close until Monday.
Senior Officer Laurence Taylor noted a significant rise in antisemitic crimes compared with last year’s figures during the same period (30 September — 13 October). He mentioned that while Islamophobic incidents have also slightly increased, they are nowhere near as prevalent as the surge in antisemitism.

ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT on Trump Thwarted: Heroic Action Saves Lives
— A suspect armed with a weapon tried to target former President Donald Trump during a public appearance in October 2023. The individual never had a line of sight and was unable to fire any shots. This is the second assassination attempt on Trump, raising serious security concerns.
The Secret Service and local law enforcement quickly apprehended the suspect, who was found with a firearm but did not discharge it. Their swift action prevented what could have been catastrophic, ensuring Trump’s safety and that of those present.
Ongoing investigations aim to determine the suspect’s motive and any affiliations. Authorities are also reviewing Trump’s security protocols to identify potential lapses and enhance future measures. This incident highlights the persistent risks faced by high-profile political figures like Trump.
Public reactions vary, with supporters relieved over Trump’s safety while critics cite the divisive political climate as a factor. The incident has reignited debates about political violence and the need for rigorous security for public officials as details continue to emerge from law enforcement agencies.
