-Lurid Crime Tales-
Afghan Citizen in US Sentenced to 35 Years for Child Sexual Abuse
[KhaamaPress] A 21-year-old Afghan national living in Arlington, Texas, has been sentenced to 35 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to producing and possessing child sexual abuse material, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas.

Badshah Sahi was sentenced on September 29 by U.S. Senior District Judge Terry R. Means to 420 months in federal prison. The sentence will run consecutively to his outstanding state proceedings. Sahi pleaded guilty to the federal charges on April 1, 2026.

According to court documents, Forney police arrested Sahi on February 28, 2025, on a state charge of sexual assault of a child. Investigators said Sahi had been communicating with a 14-year-old girl while living in Arlington, picked her up outside her home in Forney and transported her to different locations where he sexually assaulted her.

A search of Sahi’s phone following his arrest uncovered numerous images and videos involving a minor, as well as communications with other children, according to federal prosecutors. Investigators also found that Sahi had used the online gaming platform Roblox to communicate with a 10-year-old child in Indiana and had coerced the child into producing and sending sexually explicit videos, prosecutors said.

Court records also describe Sahi’s communication with a 15-year-old girl in San Marcos, Texas. Prosecutors said he travelled to her location and recorded himself sexually assaulting her.

Homeland Security Investigations said Sahi was paroled into the United States on September 5, 2021, during the evacuation of Afghans following the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan. HSI Dallas Acting Special Agent in Charge Antwoine Jones alleged that Sahi had been released into the United States without proper vetting and later committed offenses against children in Texas and online.

Ryan Raybould, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas, said the sentence demonstrates that people who commit sexual crimes against children will face federal prosecution. HSI investigated the case with assistance from the Arlington and Forney police departments and sheriff’s offices in Texas.

More than 190,000 Afghans have settled in the United States since 2021 through Operation Allies Welcome and its successor, Enduring Welcome, according to U.S. government figures. The case comes amid continued scrutiny of the screening and immigration policies used for Afghans evacuated after the Taliban

#2  AI: There is no single “life expectancy” number for a child rapist in federal prison, but credible evidence shows incarceration sharply reduces lifespan, and sex offenders—especially those who harmed children—face extreme violence risk, often requiring protective custody. Together, these factors mean their life expectancy is significantly lower than the general prison population, which is already reduced compared to the public.

All 7 surviving Pakistani crew members rescued after Somalia pirate hijacking
[ShabelleMedia] All seven Pak crew members who survived a pirate attack off Somalia’s coast have been rescued, Pakistain’s foreign minister said Monday.

The Palau-flagged oil tanker, MT Honour, was hijacked by Somali pirates in late April, around 30 nautical miles off Somalia’s coast while sailing to Mogadishu. Ten of the 17 crew members aboard were Pak nationals.

The last three Pak survivors have been rescued and flown to Addis Ababa, accompanied by a team from the Pak Embassy in Djibouti, Ishaq Dar said on US social media company X.

They are expected to leave the Æthiopian capital for Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...

on the first available Æthiopian Airlines flight on Wednesday, he added.

Four other Pak crew members were rescued in late September, more than five months after the hijacking.

They arrived in Karachi on Sunday aboard an Æthiopian Airlines flight from Addis Ababa.

Three Pak crew members were killed during the incident, and their remains have also been repatriated to Pakistain.

Mali: FAMa, Africa Corps, GATIA, and MSA convoys spotted moving toward Kidal


Translated Text:

MALI 🇲🇱 | According to several sources, significant convoys combining FAMa, Africa Corps, GATIA, and MSA are said to have been spotted moving toward Kidal after a stopover in Anéfis and Aguelhok during the weekend

🔶 These movements come as the Malian Armed Forces General Staff has been reporting since Sunday on several air-ground operations in the north of the country.

💥 These operations include strikes carried out on Sunday and Monday on multiple positions, particularly in Kidal, Anéfis, Amassine, and Tinzaouatène. The operations continue this Tuesday

The FAMa claim, among other things, the destruction of about ten pickups, one truck, and several motorcycles, as well as the deaths of numerous terrorists

⚠️ The human rights defense association «Kal Akal» states for its part that inhabited areas were struck, resulting in at least one civilian death, and that families are said to have fled toward the Algerian border

ℹ️ These airstrikes are said to have been conducted using Turkish-origin Bayraktar TB2 or Akinci drones, as well as air assets associated with the Africa Corps 🇷🇺

Institute for the Study of War Update on Yemen
before I hit the sack




…last 24 hours indicating that the Houthis have stopped Yemeni government-aligned advances.

Other Key Takeaways:

A temporary pause in the Yemeni government ground advance provides both the Houthis and the Yemeni government with time to consolidate their combat forces and positions. The Houthis may use the current pause in government advances on the coastal plain to deploy more reinforcements to the operational area and strengthen defensive positions north of the frontline.

A successful Yemeni government counteroffensive in the mountains east of the coastal plain could support Yemeni government-aligned forces’ advances northward on the coastal plain.

Saudi naval and air forces targeted Houthi military and maritime assets on October 5 that the group could use to attack shipping in the Bab al Mandeb Strait, amid the broader Saudi and Yemeni air campaign to degrade Houthi strike capabilities and support Yemeni government-aligned forces.

The Houthis significantly expanded the scale of their attacks on Saudi military and civilian infrastructure on October 5, likely to compel Saudi Arabia to abandon its support for ongoing Yemeni government counteroffensives. The Houthis believe that they can maximize Saudi economic costs and compel Saudi Arabia to surrender to Houthi demands by striking civilian infrastructure, such as oil facilities and airports.

Houthis claim commander of the 35th Armored Brigade was killed at Jabal Matran


Text:

Houthis are claiming that Abdulrahman al-Shamsani, commander of the 35th Armored Brigade, was killed during the fighting at Jabal Matran. They are also claiming that they seized weapons and secured the mountain.

Yemen’s government has denied both claims. The 35th Armored Brigade says al-Shamsani is alive and personally leading the fighting in the area, while government sources say clashes around Jabal Matran are still ongoing.

If the Houthis are able to hold Matran and push farther into Bani Yusuf, this becomes much more significant. It would strengthen their position on the southern approaches to Taiz and increase pressure on the corridor toward Aden. This is becoming an increasingly important focus for the Houthis in their military strategy; Iranian media has also been advertising wins freely before the Houthis even set foot there, so this is an important focus for IRGC.

Marib Front Update

Marib Front Update:

- Battles are raging south of Marib across several fronts.

- Just moments ago, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced control over a number of key strategic sites, most prominently the "Thamd" and "Al-Qa'imah" and "Al-Muqaylat" mountain ranges, along with the Al-Qa'imah Ridge, Al-Rasid, and the surrounding desert expanses.

The retreat of Houthi lines at Mayyun (Perim) Peninsula northwards to at least Dhubab


Text:

MORE: Government-aligned forces are already at Dhubab Airport, which is 54km from Mokha, and some local media have published uncorroborated footage of government-aligned forces entering Mokha after reported Houthi withdrawals. ⬇️

The retreat of Houthi lines at Mayyun (Perim) Peninsula northwards to at least Dhubab (a distance of approximately 30 km) suggests a major collapse, and there is no evidence currently that the Houthis have halted the collapse of their forces.

This collapse indicates that Yemeni government forces will be able to push the routed Houthis further north rapidly, possibly to and beyond Mokha if conditions hold. Indications that the Houthis have successfully brought the collapse under control south of Mokha would include sustained fighting in the same locations over some period along the coast.

The Agony of the Taiz Cauldron
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited

Not certain of the provenance of the text, but even translated, it doesn't sound like Boris Rozhin.

[ColonelCassad] By nightfall, the Houthis had split the Taiz pocket in two. The southern portion collapsed overnight, marking the beginning of surrenders and weapons handovers.

Those encircled in the northern portion continue to resist, but are also losing ground. Furthermore, having secured the southern portion of the pocket, the Houthis have already launched an offensive to the southeast, advancing through the mountainous terrain.

The Taiz salient, which for many years was one of the most staunch sectors of the front, is rapidly disappearing. The Saudis have effectively lost several brigades, along with all their weapons and equipment. By the end of the week, expect extensive Houthi videos from the liberated areas, featuring trophies, prisoners, dead, and the like. During the offensive, the houses of the "speaker" of the Yemeni parliament and the house of the "president" of Yemen (who is hiding in Saudi Arabia) were captured.

Yesterday, the Saudis and their proxies tried to launch a major offensive to somehow alleviate the situation in Taiz. Attacks were launched in the area of ​​Marib and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. In Marib, everything was limited to the capture of a small village in the desert. At the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a mechanized brigade quickly advanced towards Mokha and even reached the outskirts of Dhubab airport, but then Houthi reinforcements arrived and the invaders fled to their original positions with losses.

Big problems will begin for them after the Houthis finish with Taiz and begin to transfer their freed forces for new attacks. Against the backdrop of the Saudi military disaster, the Mecca Pact was activated - Turkey and Pakistan will begin to transfer troops to Saudi Arabia.

Will they directly intervene in the mountain war in Yemen - we'll see soon enough. It's also known that the Saudis are already receiving support from the US and Britain, who have sent additional military advisers and are assisting in the bombing of Yemen.

The Houthis, meanwhile, continue to retaliate against the Saudi bombings, targeting refineries, oil pipeline pumping stations, oil storage facilities, and airports. The Houthis also declared Saudi airspace no longer safe for flights (except in the Mecca and Medina areas).

Ironically, Saudi Arabia provoked all of this. In the summer, it shelled Sana'a airport when an Iranian plane landed there. This destroyed the fragile ceasefire and led to a resumption of high-intensity warfare, during which the Saudis have already suffered two military disasters in a month, as well as damage to their oil industry. The current hypocritical whimpers from Riyadh that the Houthis have destroyed the negotiation process are not... They're worth a damn.

Bin Salman underestimated the Houthis and is now paying for it.

Britain
Kuwaiti jailed for life in UK over attempted attack at Israeli embassy in 2025
[IsraelTimes] Abdullah Albadri, 34, had a note saying he intended to be a martyr ‘for the glory of God,’ police said; he twice sought asylum in UK, was motivated to attack by Gaza war

A Kuwaiti man who tried to enter Israel’s embassy in London armed with two knives and carrying a martyrdom note was sentenced on Monday to life in prison with a minimum term of 20 years, after being convicted of preparing an act of terrorism.

Abdullah Albadri, 34, attempted to breach the embassy’s perimeter in west London in April 2025 before being stopped by armed coppers guarding the site. Prosecutors said Albadri wanted to attack the embassy in Dire Revenge for Israel’s actions in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Evidence presented at trial showed he had researched the embassy’s location, carried two knives, and was in possession of a note indicating his intention to die as a martyr "for the glory of God," police said.

Police video played for jurors showed Albadri telling officers upon his arrest, "I wanna make a crime inside there. Why are you stopping me?"

Officers added that in the days leading up to his arrest, he searched "several Arabic terms related to suicide and martyrdom." He had earlier sought asylum in the UK. The trial jury was told Albadri was refused asylum after he twice entered the UK by crossing the Channel in small boats in August 2021 and April 2025, about two weeks before the attack.

A jury at London’s Old Bailey found him guilty in May of preparing an act of terrorism and possessing two bladed articles. His minimum 20-year sentence was adjusted to 18 years and 207 days to reflect the time he has served in prison on remand.

Albadri attempted the attack on April 28, 2025. He was stopped when officers from the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command became aware of a man attempting to gain unauthorized access to the embassy’s grounds in Kensington in west London, police said at the time.

He wore a Paleostinian keffiyeh, and "managed to get very close to where staff members were," an unnamed source told the UK’s Daily Mail newspaper after the incident.

The attempted breach was one of a string of anti-Israel or antisemitic attacks to take place in the UK in recent years. The previous August, pro-Paleostinian activists staged a violent mostly peaceful raid at a factory belonging to Elbit, the Israeli defense contractor.

Later in 2025, a man perpetrated a deadly terror attack at a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur. That December, two men were found guilty for plotting to kill hundreds in an Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
-inspired gun rampage against the Jewish community in England.

This year, two Jewish men were stabbed in London’s Golders Green neighborhood, where four ambulances belonging to a Jewish emergency service were torched in a separate attack.

The Israeli embassy in London has been subject to other suspected threats. In September, the UK’s Sunday Times newspaper reported that two apartments thought to be owned by Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, and located close to the embassy, were put on the market.

The two apartments, acquired through various intermediaries in 2014 and 2016, are located on the sixth and seventh floors of a building on the same street as the embassy, Palace Green in Kensington, British media reported earlier this year.

At the time, the Daily Mail quoted a terrorism and security specialist saying that the location of the apartments meant that "Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
owns the view into the back of the Israeli embassy from less than 50 meters away."

Europe
School protests sweeping France cause 'heaviest toll in decades'
It’s notable how many of the schools are in Moslem-dominated communities and how many Palestinian flags are being waved by “Allahu akhbar”-shouting Moslem colonists.
[Reuters] Demonstrations swept across France on Tuesday as teachers and parents took to the streets with high school pupils on the biggest day of what Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu described as the most ​violent student demonstrations in decades.

Police fired tear gas and water cannons to disperse violent groups on the fringes of marches in Paris, Strasbourg, Rennes and Toulouse, among other cities. The ‌marches drew more than 250,000 people in dozens of cities, the interior ministry said, though organisers said 450,000 had participated.

The protests, in which a teenager lost a hand on Monday, were the latest manifestation of public anger in a country where support for populist parties on the far right and far left has surged ahead of a presidential election in the spring.

The government is under pressure to tame public debt amid weak growth, and has struggled with basic tasks such as passing a budget since President Emmanuel ​Macron's allies lost their majority in a 2024 parliamentary vote.

Lecornu told lawmakers at least 215 teenagers and 85 school staff had so far been injured in clashes, "the heaviest toll in decades paid by ​the school system". His office said more than 700 police officers were also hurt.

Macron has convened Lecornu and other senior ministers at an emergency meeting on Tuesday, broadcaster ⁠BFM reported.

US President Donald Trump said the protests were evidence of "out of control" migration in France. "This isn't about schools, this is about Islam wanting to take over a once great Country," he posted on Truth Social.

The ​students' demands do not concern religion or immigration, but focus instead on understaffing and lack of funding.

Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally party has not linked the protests to France's migration policy. Lecornu's office did not respond ​to a request for comment.

In Marseille and Nantes, protesters held up handmade signs bearing phrases such as "The state has killed national education". In Toulouse, parents linked arms at the front of a march through the city.

Paris police said clashes in the capital resulted from some 300 people, most hooded or masked, facing off against security forces, and that the protest generally unfolded without major incident elsewhere. Several storefronts were damaged.

The Interior Ministry said 488 people had been arrested and 48 security personnel were injured on Tuesday.

MAINTENANCE ​COMPLAINTS
The student protests began in September in the deprived suburbs of Paris before spreading nationwide.

Students complain about schools facing basic maintenance problems, from water leaks to rat infestations.
How much spending on maintenance and school supplies has resulted from riot damage or deliberate day-to-day destruction rather than normal wear and tear?
The High School Students Union said more than half of France's high schools were blockaded or had closed for the day. Some local education authorities have tried to move classes online.

Rights groups, ‌students and parent ⁠groups have accused authorities of using disproportionate force against minors. The government says the protest movement has been hijacked by outsiders and in some places deteriorated into urban violence.

More than 1,800 people are being prosecuted for unspecified crimes, including 1,483 minors, the justice ministry said on Monday.

"They want to divide the young people into good and bad protesters," said Omar Slaouti, a high-school teacher in Argenteuil, a northwestern suburb of Paris. "If there were no trash cans on fire, the government would not have stepped back and become aware of the issues at stake."

#5  French school riots deepen as experts point to far-left alliance fueling ‘broader confrontation’

"The protests started in an apparently spontaneous way in the disadvantaged, immigrant suburbs of Paris," Nathalie Szerman, researcher in radicalization and extremism in France at MEMRI, told Fox News Digital, but "it quickly became clear that the violence demonstrated in these protests conveyed a huge amount of hate towards the ‘system’ and not much concern for better material conditions in schools, as dozens of schools across France have suffered vandalism and blockades, and many were even set on fire."

Szerman said that while demonstrations over school conditions at the beginning of an academic year in France "is not a new phenomenon," the "scope of these demonstrations and their character should raise concerns." She points to protestors taking to the streets carrying Palestinian flags. "Pro-Palestinian organizations, such as Urgence Palestine, have declared the month of October to be a month of revolt, and these groups are supporting and fueling these demonstrations."

Security forces kill 13 terrorists in North Waziristan IBO: state media
[Dawn] Security forces eliminated thirteen forces of Evil in an intelligence-based operation in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s North Wazoo, state media reported on Wednesday, citing security sources.

Pakistain TV said security forces "killed 13 Fitna al-Khawarij forces of Evil in an IBO in North Waziristan, as operations against turban groups continue under the Azm-e-Istehkam vision".

Fitna al Khawarij is a term the state uses for forces of Evil belonging to the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban
...the once and current oppressors of Afghanistan...
Pakistain.

A day earlier, in another North Waziristan IBO, security forces killed five terrorists, state media said.

KP has been witnessing terrorist attacks and security challenges for a long time. The province, excluding the merged districts, recorded 54 terrorist attacks in August compared with 36 in July, representing an increase of 50 per cent, according to data compiled by the Pakistain Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS).

On October 2, security forces killed seven forces of Evil in an IBO in North Waziristan.

On September 30, security forces killed three forces of Evil in an IBO in KP’s Mir Ali. A day before that, in an IBO in KP’s Bara area, security forces killed five terrorists. On Sept 28, four bad boyz were potted during an IBO in Dera Ismail Khan
... the Pearl of Pashtunistan ...
On Sept 26, a dozen people bit the dust while 35 others were maimed in a suicide kaboom that targeted the Aman Mela police checkpost in DI Khan’s Darazinda tehsil.

On Sept 18, a major attack in the old Police Lines in KP’s Kohat claimed 23 lives and injured about 100 others. Eight bad boyz were potted during an overnight clearance operation.

On Sept 17, security forces killed 10 forces of Evil in separate operations in KP between Sept 15 and 17. Earlier that month, over 20 bad boyz were potted during multiple engagements in KP between Sept 3 and 5.

Syrian Interior Ministry arrests senior ISIS commander
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – Syria’s General Intelligence Directorate, in cooperation with Internal Security forces in Damascus countryside, arrested a senior Islamic State (ISIS) commander in Damascus countryside, the Interior Ministry said Tuesday.

The ministry identified the detainee as Khaled Raed Bairouni, also known as “Abu Hassan Dushka,” saying he was arrested during a security operation in Hajira town in Damascus countryside.

According to security information and ongoing investigations, Bairouni had served as ISIS’s military commander in its “Homs Province,” the ministry said.

It accused him of planning and overseeing several attacks in Homs, including the preparation and use of explosive devices as well as attacks with a sectarian nature.

The ministry also accused Bairouni of responsibility for the bombing that targeted Ali bin Abi Talib Mosque in Homs’ Wadi al-Dhahab neighborhood last year.

Security forces are continuing to question the detainee to determine the details of his activities and complete legal procedures against him, the ministry said.
