The latest on the denizens of the Amalia, NM jihadi compound, raided when the FBI was looking for Abdul Ghani Wahhaj, the handicapped toddler kidnapped by his dad from his mother in Georgia. Abdul Ghani’s body was later discovered on the grounds. Eleven other children found during the raid on the compound were malnourished but in the process of being trained to be loyal little jihadis.
[FoxNews] Authorities raided a compound in remote Mew Mexico desert in August 2018
A father has been convicted of terrorism after the remains of his 3-year-old son were found in an underground tunnel at a makeshift compound in New Mexico in 2018.
Siraj Ibn Wahhaj
...also known as Siraj Wahhaj and Sirraj Ibn Wahhaj. Siraj [Jr.] is the son of Siraj Wahhaj [Sr.], a Brooklyn imam whose mother welcomed him into the world as Jeffrey Kearse. Siraj Sr. was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and a character witness in the trial of convicted terror plotter Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman (“the blind sheikh”), and is connected to the several branches of the Moslem Brotherhood in America. He has mentored pussy hat leader Linda Sarsour....
and members of his family had fled from Georgia with the toddler to the remote desert so they could engage in firearms and tactical training to prepare for attacks against the government, prosecutors told jurors Tuesday.
Jurors deliberated for 2½ days after hearing weeks of testimony from children who had lived with their parents at the compound.
The defendants, who are Muslim, argued federal authorities targeted them because of their religion.
Wahhaj’s brother-in-law also was convicted of terrorism charges, conspiracy to commit kidnapping and kidnapping that resulted in the boy’s death. Wahhaj’s sisters were convicted on the kidnapping charges.
That’d be Hujrah Wahhaj, 38, Subhanah Wahhaj, 36. No mention here of Lucas Morton, 41, Siraj Jr’s brother-in-law or Jany Leveille, Siraj Jr’s wife — a Haitian citizen who overstayed her visitor visa two decades ago
The five suspects were arrested by authorities after an Aug. 3, 2018, raid following a months-long inquiry into the disappearance of Abdul-ghani Wahhaj, 3. The boy, who had severe medical issues, disappeared from Georgia in December.
The badly decomposed remains of the boy were eventually found in an underground tunnel at the compound on the outskirts of Amalia near the Colorado state line. An exact cause of death was never determined.
Wahhaj represented himself in court.
"The government portrayed me to look like a monster," he said, describing his family as close-knit and trying to protect his son from evil spirits. He said they used a ritual known as ruqyah in which passages from the Quran are recited.
Wahhaj and the family apparently believed the boy would be resurrected as Jesus Christ and provide instructions.
Jurors have delivered split verdicts in a case that stemmed from the search for a 3-year-old boy who went missing from Georgia. The boy was found dead hundreds of miles away at a squalid compound in northern New Mexico. The boy's father was convicted Tuesday of terrorism related charges, while other family members were convicted of a mix of kidnapping and terrorism charges.
Wahhaj's brother-in-law also was convicted of terrorism charges, conspiracy to commit kidnapping, and kidnapping that resulted in the boy's death. Wahhaj's sisters were convicted on the kidnapping charges.
Siraj Ibn Wahhaj's partner — Jany Leveille, a Haitian national — was initially charged with kidnapping and terrorism-related charges, but instead reached a plea agreement on weapons charges. She did not appear at the trial.
Evidence presented by prosecutors included passages journal from Leveille's journal suggesting she believed she was having prophecies. Prosecutors argued that the group believed she had an ability to receive messages from God.
According to prosecutors, the charges related to kidnapping resulting in death carry a mandatory life sentence. The charges of providing support in preparation for terrorist attacks on U.S. government officials and employees are punishable by up to 15 years in prison, while the charge of conspiracy to kill a government officer or employee carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.
[FoxNews] Pro-Palestinian demonstrators swarmed the Cannon Rotunda on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, with hundreds of protesters demanding a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
Footage from inside the Cannon Office Building showed a large group chanting "Ceasefire Now!" and calling for Congress to demand the fighting stop in Israel. The protesters were spotted wearing black T-shirts reading, "Jews Say Ceasefire Now!"
The group Jewish Voice for Peace
... an American, far-left, overtly Jewish organization that supports the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions campaign against Israel and is too radical for the Anti-Defamation League...
said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that "over 350" demonstrators," including two dozen rabbis, were inside the large rotunda while thousands of others protested outside.
U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) said demonstrations are not allowed inside congressional buildings and worked to clear the crowd. In an X post, USCP warned the protesters to stop demonstrating and "when they did not comply we began arresting them."
USCP told Fox News that approximately 300 demonstrators were arrested in the protest on Capitol Hill, including at least three who were charged with assault on a police officer during the demonstrations.
Whaddayaknow — publicity works! Let’s see if they get the full January 6th treatment, though...
USCP also confirmed to Fox News that demonstrators inside the Cannon Rotunda will be charged with illegally protesting inside a House office building.
At 6 p.m., authorities said that the rotunda is clear of illegal protesters and that USCP is processing the arrests.
USCP also said more protesters are walking in the roadway around the House side of the Capitol Complex, and they have begun temporary rolling road closures for safety.
More than 30 protesters were arrested in front of the White House on Monday and over the weekend, thousands of pro-Palestinian activists took to the streets of the nation's capital to advocate for a cease-fire between Israel and the Iranian-backed Hamas militant group.
[NYPOST] Another major donor to the University of Pennsylvania has pulled his support over the college’s failure to condemn the Hamas ...a regional Iranian catspaw,... terrorist attacks — and even more are considering following suit.
David Magerman, who helped build Renaissance Technologies, slammed his alma mater’s "misguided moral compass" and said he will "refuse to donate another dollar to Penn" in a letter to president Elizabeth Magill and board chair Scott Bok posted to X.
"Over the past month, I have been deeply embarrassed by my association with and support for the University of Pennsylvania," he wrote in the letter Monday.
"The leadership of the university has failed to demonstrate the values I expect from an institution that purports to educate young adults and prepare them for a lifetime of leadership and to be emissaries for good in the world."

would it be wrong to think there is "other" money waiting to fill that void?
[Breitbart] According to a source within CBP, eleven “Special Interest Aliens” from Middle Eastern nations were encountered in less than one week in the Border Patrol’s Del Rio Sector. During the week of October 8 to October 14, Border Patrol agents apprehended six Iranian nationals, three Lebanese nationals, one Egyptian national, and one Saudi Arabian national that made landfall in Texas on the banks of the Rio Grande.
The source, not authorized to speak to the media, told Breitbart Texas migrants were single adult males considered Special Interest Aliens who arrived from countries subject to travel warnings by the U.S. State Department due to terrorism. The source says, absent any significant intelligence indicting the migrants pose a known threat to the United States, they will be released into the U.S. to pursue asylum claims.
The source says the continued encounter of Special Interest migrants as tensions rise in the Middle East due to the recent Hamas attacks in Israel is alarming. “Things are developing so quickly in that region and migrants from that area continuing to arrive at the southern border presents an intelligence challenge for us,” the source told Breitbart Texas.
According to the source, if the migrants are not “Known or Suspected Terrorists” (KSA) based on a listing maintained by the FBI at the Terrorist Screening Center (TSC), the lack of diplomatic relations with some of the special interest countries makes the return of the migrants difficult if not impossible.
As reported by Breitbart Texas, more than 61,000 Special Interest Aliens were encountered by the Border Patrol in fiscal year 2023, which ended on September 30. The number of migrants from Special Interest countries has climbed by more than 140 percent from fiscal year 2022 when more than 25,500 were apprehended. In all, more than 86,000 Special Interest Aliens have illegally entered the United States during the previous two years.
According to a 2019 DHS fact sheet, the term “Special Interest Alien” is defined as follows:
Generally, an SIA is a non-U.S. person who, based on an analysis of travel patterns, potentially poses a national security risk to the United States or its interests. Often such individuals or groups are employing travel patterns known or evaluated to possibly have a nexus to terrorism. DHS analysis includes an examination of travel patterns, points of origin, and/or travel segments that are tied to current assessments of national and international threat environments.
This does not mean that all SIAs are “terrorists,” but rather that the travel and behavior of such individuals indicate a possible nexus to nefarious activity (including terrorism) and, at a minimum, provide indicators that necessitate heightened screening and further investigation. The term SIA does not indicate any specific derogatory information about the individual – and DHS has never indicated that the SIA designation means more than that.
According to the source, in fiscal year 2023, migrants from more than 280 countries were apprehended by the Border Patrol, including those from 34 countries listed as Special Interest countries. Among the remainder of Special Interest Aliens entering the United States during fiscal year 2023 were more than 5,600 Afghans, 3,000 Egyptians, nearly 2,500 Somalis, 2,500 citizens of Bangladesh, nearly 1,300 Pakistanis, 1,200 Eritreans, and almost 1,000 nationals of Tajikistan and Kazakstan.
Nearly 1,700 SIAs in fewer numbers from Iran, Syria, Morrocco, Jordan, Djibouti, Iraq, Yemen, Turkmenistan, Algeria, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and the United Arab Emirates also made entry into the United States.
The SIAs enter in small numbers daily at almost all parts of the southwest border. As reported by Breitbart Texas, larger numbers of migrants from outside the hemisphere, including those from Special Interest countries, are more frequently encountered in Arizona.
During one recent trip to the border region near Lukeville, Arizona, Breitbart Texas observed more than 300 migrants surrender to awaiting Border Patrol agents from a multitude of non-Spanish speaking countries. The migrant group included citizens from mostly western African nations, the Middle East, India, Pakistan, and China.

[Regnum] The US military shot down two drones while attempting to attack US-led anti-terrorist coalition forces in Iraq. A Pentagon spokesman spoke about this on October 18.
“An attempted attack against US and coalition forces in Iraq was interrupted early in the morning of October 18. Two drones were shot down during the attack,” RIA Novosti quoted a representative of the American defense department as saying.
There were no casualties as a result of this incident.
Reuters reported on October 18 that the US military intercepted two drones that were heading towards the US al-Assad air base to carry out an attack.
The agency's sources did not specify who tried to strike the American military. Speaking on condition of anonymity, they said that the US military is on high alert, believing that as the Palestinian-Israeli conflict worsens, Iranian-backed groups may increase their activity.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on October 17 called on Israel to stop attacks on the Gaza Strip. He called the Israeli actions genocide and threatened a response from the Arab world. Khamenei stressed that the United States stands behind Israel.
[CNN] When Hamas militants broke through the Gaza fence in this month’s unprecedented attack on Israel, the kibbutz of Mefalsim — less than two miles from the border — was on the front lines. Toting AK-47 rifles and grenade launchers, one group of militants headed straight for the community’s gates, while another group moved to destroy its generator, according to security videos and local residents.
That precision, local Israeli security personnel say, was no accident: The fighters seemed to have known exactly where they were headed.
CNN has reviewed documents that Israeli officials say were Hamas attack plans, which suggest that the group collected remarkably granular detail on its targets. But neither of the attacks went according to plan — thanks in part to a handful of volunteer guards who defended their neighbors in dramatic firefights.
Photos of the plan to attack Mefalsim were posted online by an Israeli first responder group, which said it was recovered from the body of a slain Hamas fighter. Two local Israeli security personnel told CNN they independently saw photos of the plan, and it closely matched the Hamas fighters’ tactics during the attack.
The color-coded document includes detailed information about the kibbutz’s guards and security. It says that one group of militants would break through the community’s fence, while others were ordered to "capture soldiers and civilians and to keep hostages" for negotiation.
Yarden Reskin, a member of Mefalsim’s volunteer security force who spent hours exchanging fire with militants — helping prevent any deaths inside the community — said he was shocked by the level of detail.
"They knew everything," Reskin said. "They knew where are the gates, they knew where are the generators, they knew where is the armory, they knew basically how many of us on the security team... they had very, very good intel."
Another purported Hamas document laying out plans to attack the nearby kibbutz of Sa’ad, which CNN obtained from a senior Israeli government official, was even more chilling. It listed the attackers’ goal as "inflicting the maximum possible human casualties."
Like in Mefalsim, the plans didn’t come to fruition, with a first responder group and a local resident telling CNN that no residents had died inside Sa’ad.

"They knew everything," Reskin said. "They knew where are the gates, they knew where are the generators, they knew where is the armory, they knew basically how many of us on the security team... they had very, very good intel."
Finding the sources of this "good intel" should be a top priority.

From a comment posted by our own grom.
[Sky News AZ] Retired US Army Major Mike Lyons says he’s surprised the Israel Defence Forces released audio of what it claims are Hamas operatives discussing the attack on Al-Ahli Hospital.
"It’s interesting that they released it because now it shows capability that Israel has around listening in on what’s going on there," he told Sky News Australia. "A Djinn told us, and had a recording"
"So I’m surprised they released it because I think the physical evidence on the ground is enough as it is.
"But I think that they're sending a second message and that is that we're listening, we're listening to what’s going on in Hamas.
"And we're listening to conversations taking place."

Anything can kill many if they are packed closely enough.
Except this time the rocket that went up came down in the hospital parking lot, killing a dozen parked cars and perhaps a few people. But perhaps next time the Iranian-Palestinian joint project missiles will kill significant numbers of their own people so Mr. Joe can be pleased to have a basis for his boasts.

Well then.
-dons Superior Helm of Aluminum-
One month ago leftist democrats threatened USA Muslims with excommunication if they wouldn't begin towing, or at least tolerating, the gay agenda.
Since then democrats have dumped $Billions into Iran sources, ending up in Gaza. Hamas somehow got a jump on Israeli sources. Four weeks to mobilize a pre-made plan.
Now democrats are allowing the violent factions freedom to agitate and demonstrate, including a guided photo op inside the US Capital. On the carrot, democrats wearing Biden's face swoop in to show they can protect USA Muslims from 'their sworn enemies and their allies'.
All the USA Muslim community has to do is quit publicly protesting the gay agenda and cede the stage to the democrat violence marchers.

US privately pushing Israel not to initiate war with Hezbollah — officials
The Biden administration has privately been urging Israel not to launch a military campaign against Hezbollah, as Washington works to keep the current war from spreading beyond Gaza, two officials familiar with the matter tell The Times of Israel.
The US recognizes that Israel must respond to the increased targeting of its northern border by Hezbollah since the October 7 Hamas onslaught, the officials clarify. But the repeated attacks by the Lebanese terror group and the fact that Israel failed to anticipate the assault by Hamas from Gaza have led to the intensification of discussions about whether Israel must be the one to initiate a battle against Hezbollah in order to maintain the upper hand.
Such talk has been a cause of concern for the US, which has been privately and publicly warning Hezbollah and Iran not to open a war on Israel’s northern front, the officials say.
The US has cautioned Israel to be careful in its military responses to Hezbollah fire, explaining that an IDF mistake in Lebanon could spark a much larger war, the officials add. Biden officials have indicated to Israel in recent days that if Hezbollah initiates a war against Israel, the US military will join the IDF in fighting the terror group, the officials say.
The Pentagon has already dispatched a pair of aircraft carrier strike groups to the eastern Mediterranean near Israeli in order to deter Israeli and American adversaries in the region.
Hezbollah has fired dozens of anti-tank guided missiles, rockets, and mortars at Israeli military positions and Israeli towns since the October 7 Hamas onslaught, while also sending gunmen to infiltrate into Israel. Several drones have also been intercepted over northern Israel.
At least five Israeli soldiers, 13 Hezbollah terrorists and five Palestinians from other terror groups have been killed in these exchanges. One Israeli civilian was killed in a Hezbollah attack Sunday, and two Lebanese civilians and a journalist were also reported killed by Israeli shelling.
Hezbollah announces deaths of 2 more members apparently killed in IDF counter-strikes
The Hezbollah terror group announces the deaths of two members, who were killed while “performing jihad.”
Hezbollah does not elaborate on where Ali Muhammad Marmar and Taha Abbas Abbas were killed, but it is believed they were killed in an Israeli strike during skirmishes earlier today on the Lebanon border.

Six arrested in Haifa in unauthorized pro-Palestinian protest
Not a big upswelling of sentiment...
Police in Haifa have dispersed a rally in support of Palestinians in Gaza that law enforcement says was not authorized and violated public order.
Earlier in the day, police in the northern coastal city announced that it would not allow pro-Palestinian demonstrations that were being planned on social media, after far-right groups said they would intervene to halt them.
During tonight’s unauthorized rally, six protesters were arrested, including three women, and one person was wounded, according to the Arab48 news website.
The police also reportedly dispersed a protest in the Arab Israeli city of Taybeh.
US sanctions against individuals, entities involved in Iran’s missile and UAV programs
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says in a statement that the US has imposed additional sanctions on “individuals and entities related to Iran’s missile, conventional arms, and UAV activities, including such activities involving Russia, the People’s Republic of China, Venezuela, and elsewhere.”
The announcement comes after the US announced sanctions against 10 senior Hamas officials.

US vetoes Gaza war UNSC resolution that doesn’t stress Israeli right to self-defense
The United States has vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling for a “humanitarian pause” in the raging Israel-Hamas war because the text did not include respect for Israel’s right to defend itself.
“The United States is disappointed this resolution made no mention of Israel’s right of self-defense,” says US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield. “Like every nation in the world, Israel has the inherent right of self-defense, as reflected in Article 51 of the UN Charter.
“Following previous terrorist attacks by groups such as al-Qaida and ISIS, this council reaffirmed that right. This text should have done the same,” she adds.
Twelve out of 15 council members voted in favor of the resolution put forward by Brazil and negotiated over several days, while Russia and the United Kingdom abstained.
The United States was the only vote against, but as one of the body’s five permanent members, its vote counts as a veto.
The resolution said the council “firmly condemns all violence and hostilities against civilians and all acts of terrorism.”
It said the body “unequivocally rejects and condemns the heinous terrorist attacks by Hamas… and the taking of hostages.” The Russian resolution voted down yesterday did not even mention Hamas.
Today’s text also “urges all parties to fully comply with their obligations under international law.”

Over the past day, 51 Hamas members, including several senior members, were arrested, the military says.
There have been several festivities between IDF forces and Paleostinians in the West Bank in recent days, and several attempted terror attacks, according to the army.
According to the Paleostinian Authority health ministry, at least 61 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed by Israeli forces since October 7.
[RedState] The war between Israel and Hamas has been rife with tragedies and atrocities, but in the midst of the pain and suffering, there are reasons for hope.
Israel’s K-9 unit has shown itself to be a remarkable boon to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and has already saved a substantial number of lives. Through these dogs, Israel has been able to free those taken hostage or lost in the battle while also eliminating Hamas terrorists.
An Israeli K-9 unit is being credited with rescuing over 200 civilians while under fire in communities near the Gaza Strip.
In battles in multiple communities close to Gaza, Israeli soldiers paired with K-9s went on several rescue missions that "rescued hostages, saved lives, and eliminated terrorists who had barricaded themselves in houses," according to the Israel Defense Forces Spokesman's Unit.
Commanders and soldiers from Israel's Oketz K-9 Unit were split up into three different companies in order to take a more active role in combat near the Gaza Strip, the Spokesman's Unit said, resulting in the rescue of several hostages and the deaths of more than 10 Hamas terrorists.
One of the canines, named “Naro,” died at Kibbutz Kfar Aza while exposing a planned ambush by Hamas gunmen. His actions eventually led to the terrorists being killed. Another, named “Charlie,” located the position of a senior Hamas leader, which led to his apprehension.
The unit is soon expected to be deployed in offensive operations in Gaza against the terrorist group. “The next step is to enter the Gaza Strip,” a commander from the Oketz unit explained. “The mission is to neutralize all the terrorists we confront in the field; we are ready, we are strong, we are united, and we are going to win.”
[NYPOST] The Israel Defense Forces released an audio recording Wednesday morning of what it said were two Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat.

In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... forces of Evil admitting responsibility for the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

The clip, posted on X, is captioned "Islamic Jihad struck a Hospital in Gaza—the IDF did not. Listen to the forces of Evil as they realize this themselves."
It was released as Hamas ...a regional Iranian catspaw,... and Israel blamed each other for the attack on the Al Ahli Arab Hospital, which was crammed with Paleostinians injured in retaliatory Israel Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s and residents seeking refuge.
"Is it from us?" one operative is heard asking on the recording, according to the IDF’s translation.
"It looks like it," his cohort replies.
The purported members of Islamic Jihad — an arm of the ruling bully boy group Hamas — are then heard acknowledging that the shrapnel of the missile "are local pieces, and not Israeli shrapnel," from rockets fired from the "cemetery behind the hospital."
"But God bless, it couldn’t have found another place to explode?," one of them asked.
Hamas leaders have fingered Israel and the US for the attack, while Israel claimed that a failed Islamic Jihad rocket launch resulted in the devastation, as leaders noted some 450 other rockets fired from Gaza had fallen short of Israel in the past week and a half.
As protesters blaming Israel erupted into the streets in Arab countries throughout the region, President Biden spoke alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv and said Israel was not to blame for the attack, citing "the data I was shown by my Defense Department."
"Based on what I’ve seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you," Biden told Netanyahu.
Israel said its radar and an independent video depicted a misfired rocket barrage that caused a large explosion as it hit the hospital.
It also said the blast left no crater, as a deliberate strike would have.
