Troops foil ambush attempt, recover supplies linked to terrorists in Borno
By Zagazola Makama
Troops of the Joint Task Force North East under Operation Hadin Kai (OPHK), as part of Operation Desert Sanity V, have foiled an attempted ambush by suspected Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists along the Bulayobe–Darel Jamel axis in Borno.
Security sources disclosed that the incident occurred at about 5:35 a.m. on Feb. 13 when troops, in conjunction with Civilian Joint Task Force volunteers, were on night ambush duty at Papa 4, approximately 4.1 kilometres from the Forward Operating Base.
The troops reportedly sighted elements of Boko Haram attempting to cross the Main Supply Route from the Cameroon axis toward the Nigerian axis.
On sighting the insurgents, the troops engaged them with heavy gunfire, forcing the terrorists to flee in disarray.
During exploitation of the area, troops recovered two sacks bearing inscriptions with phone numbers and names of alleged senders and receivers.
[IsraelTimes] Prosecutor says planned attack, ‘likely one of the deadliest ever carried out on British soil,’ could have been much worse than Bondi Beach massacre in Australia
Two men were incarcerated Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! on Friday 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 attack on the Jewish community in England, a plan prosecutors said could have been deadlier than December’s mass shooting at Sydney’s Bondi Beach.
Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52, were both convicted after a trial at Preston Crown Court, which began a week after an unrelated deadly attack on a synagogue in the city of Manchester, in northwest England.
Prosecutors said the pair were Islamist holy warriors who wanted to use automatic firearms to kill as many Jews as they could in an attack in Manchester.
They were found guilty little more than a week after a mass shooting at a Jewish Hanukkah celebration on Bondi Beach in which 15 people were killed.
Prosecutor Harpreet Sandhu said on Friday that, had Saadaoui and Hussein carried out their plan, it "could have been very much more serious" than the attacks in Australia and Manchester.
Judge Mark Wall sentenced Saadaoui to a minimum term of 37 years and Hussein to a minimum term of 26 years, saying: "You were very close to being ready to carry out this plan."
Hussein refused to attend his sentencing, having refused to attend most of his trial, which Wall said reflected Hussein’s cowardice, describing him as "brave enough to plan to threaten an ungang with an AK-47 but not sufficiently courageous to face up to what he did."
POTENTIALLY ONE OF DEADLIEST ATTACKS ON UK SOIL
Saadaoui had arranged for two assault rifles, an automatic pistol and almost 200 rounds of ammunition to be smuggled into Britannia through the port of Dover when he was arrested in May 2024, Sandhu told jurors at the trial.
He added that Saadaoui planned to obtain two more rifles and another pistol, and to collect at least 900 rounds of ammunition.
"This would likely have been one of the deadliest terrorist attacks ever carried out on British soil," Wall said.
Unbeknownst to Saadaoui, however, a man known as "Farouk," from whom he was trying to get the weapons, was an undercover operative who helped foil the plot.
Good job, MI6! Once again the stupid jihadi takes an informant as his BFF — it’s as if Allah wants them to fail and makes them blind while lighting them up for the authorities to find.
Walid Saadaoui’s brother Bilel Saadaoui, 37, was found guilty of failing to disclose information about acts of terrorism. He was sentenced to six years in jail.

[Regnum] In the Bakhchisaray district of the Republic of Crimea, FSB officers have disrupted the activities of a cell of an international terrorist organization banned in Russia. This was reported on February 13 by the FSB Public Relations Center (PRC).
According to the agency, the cell included two Russian citizens. It was established that they were spreading terrorist ideology in Crimea and holding secret meetings.
During such meetings, as the intelligence service specified, local Muslim residents were recruited for subsequent training based on the doctrine of creating a so-called global caliphate.
Sounds like either ISIS or Al Qaeda.
During the investigation, the suspects were detained by FSB officers. Propaganda materials banned in Russia, as well as communications equipment and electronic storage devices containing information about the organization's forms and methods of operation, were seized from their residences.
The Investigative Department of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation for the Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol has opened a criminal case under Parts 1 and 2 of Article 205.5 of the Russian Criminal Code—organizing the activities of a terrorist organization and participating in it.
Previously, the FSB, together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Russian National Guard, detained members of the "Wird of Followers of the Batal-Khadzhi Belkhoroev Movement"
…followers of Sheikh Batal-Khadji (also known as Batal-haji Belkharoyev), revered Sufi Islam teacher during the early part of the 20th century in Ingushetia and other parts of the North Caucasus. They appear to engage in the usual misbehaviours common to the region, and in 2023 sent a rapid response detachment (the Batalkhadzhinsky Rapid Response Detachment (BOBR)) to fight with the Akhmat special forces. Naturally Russia finds this objectionable...
(a terrorist organization banned in Russia) in Moscow, Chechnya, and Ingushetia. Weapons and explosives were seized from them.
The court is hearing a case against 12 alleged members of the group, accused of involvement in the 2019 murder of Ibragim Eldzharkiev, head of the Center for Combating Extremism of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Republic of Ingushetia.
[IsraelTimes] Two Palestinian terror operatives who entered a building on the Israeli side of the Gaza ceasefire line in the Strip’s north last night were targeted in an airstrike, the military says.
According to the IDF, the two operatives were identified by reservists of the Alexandroni Brigade. The Israeli Air Force then struck the building “to remove the threat,” the IDF says
