-Lurid Crime Tales-
Fake watermelons full of drugs fail to fool US agents
[BBC] United States border agents have intercepted a truck carrying more than $5m-worth of methamphetamine at the US-Mexico border hidden inside a shipment of watermelons.

The drugs were wrapped in plastic painted in two shades of green to resemble the fruit and placed among real watermelons.

More than two tonnes of methamphetamine - in a total of 1,220 packages - was seized by officers.

Stashing drugs among produce is a common way to smuggle the illicit substances across borders - banana shipments are the most popular but officers have recently found narcotics in Gouda cheese and avocados.

US Customs and Border Protection officials said their officers had stopped a truck hauling a trailer at the border with Mexico in Otay Mesa.

The paperwork suggested the driver was transporting a shipment for watermelons, but a inspection revealed the parcels containing methamphetamine.

Also known simply as meth, it is a powerful and highly addictive stimulant.

s in the Darfur region and central Sudan on Tuesday, killing dozens of civilians and prompting retaliatory shelling by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

The airstrikes targeted the cities of al-Daien, al-Fasher, and al-Tawisha in Darfur, as well as al-Hasaheisa in al-Jazirah state. al-Daien, the historical capital of the Rizeigat tribe and a stronghold of the RSF was particularly hard hit.

Al-Daien's teaching hospital and a displacement centre were struck, resulting in at least 15 deaths and dozens of injuries.

Activists and journalists on the ground reported widespread destruction and civilian casualties, with video footage showing the aftermath of barrel kabooms. The Sudanese military has not commented on the airstrikes.

In response to the aerial bombardment, the RSF launched artillery strikes on civilian areas in al-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state. The shelling caused further deaths and injuries, adding to the mounting humanitarian crisis in the region.

#1  This is how complicated things can get in the Sudan: The Arab Islamist Military Government attacks the Rizayqat center. The Rizayqat are a very large Darfur and Bahr al-Ghazal Arab cattle nomad tribe that for decades was allied with the central government in Khartoum. For years it was used by the Islamists to attack the African South Sudanese. That the central government and Rizayqat are now seemingly at swords point demands explanation. That the Rizayqat have apparently joined forces with the Muslim African tribals of Darfur also demands explanation -- which will not be forthcoming from the useless Sudan Tribune.

Sudan's Burhan takes control of border crossings amid aid push

's military leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan on Tuesday ordered the Sovereignty Council to take control of the country's border crossings, a move aimed at streamlining humanitarian aid delivery amid the ongoing conflict.

The decision comes as Sudan prepares to open several border crossings to facilitate the flow of aid to those affected by the fighting. al-Burhan recently approved the opening of the Adr crossing with Chad to address the dire humanitarian situation in Darfur.

A statement from the Sovereignty Council said the move was intended to ''facilitate procedures across border crossings, ensure smooth commercial movement and speed up the clearance of goods.''

Currently, Sudan's land and sea crossings are overseen by the Ministry of Transport. The country shares borders with the Central African Republic, Egypt, South Sudan, Eritrea

#1  There is only one problem, the central Government does not control that border crossing. What it is implying is that it will cease its bombing and allow aid from Chad/Libya to reach the surrounded El Fasher which has yet to fall to the rebels.

militia on Wednesday, with one catching fire and becoming immobile. The assault happened while the US-led marine struck Houthi targets in Hodeidah province.

The commercial ship was traveling in the Red Sea when it came under fire from armed boats and projectiles, according to the UN. It is believed the Houthis were responsible.

A report said that on Wednesday morning, the skipper of a commercial ship some 77 nautical miles from the port of Hodeidah alerted the UK Maritime Trade Operations that his vessel was being approached by two boats carrying a number of people.

There was an exchange of fire between armed crew on the boats and the ship’s guards. Two hours later, it was reported that two unidentified projectiles had damaged the ship, resulting in a fire and loss of engine power.

"The vessel is drifting and not under command. The Master also reports a small craft acting suspiciously in the vicinity," said a message from UKMTO, urging vessels in the region to stay alert and report anything suspicious.

Greek shipping minister, Christos Stylianides said the target ship was the Greek-flagged D/X Sounion, traveling from Iraq to Cyprus. The 25 crew members were safe, he added.

On Wednesday afternoon, UKMTO said the captain of a ship traveling in waters south of the city of Aden reported two explosions nearby. There were no injuries or damage caused.

The Houthi militia has not yet grabbed credit for the attacks, although previously this has happened hours or even days later.

The last spokesperson Yahya Sarea did so was on Aug. 7, when he claimed the Houthis had attacked US warships and a merchant ship in the Red Sea.

Since November, the Houthis say they have attacked over 100 ships in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and other waters with hundreds of drones, ballistic missiles and drone boats with the aim of putting pressure on Israel to end the conflict in the Gazoo

The US has reacted by organizing a coalition of marine task forces, designating the Houthi militia as a terrorist organization, and bombarding Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.

Houthi-run al-Masirah reported on Wednesday that US and UK forces conducted three strikes on the al-Saleef area of Hodeidah governorate but did not provide any details.

The US military says it is targeting missile and drone launchers, storage sites, and explosive-laden and remotely operated boats.

This probably prevents him from allowing the US military from making the kind of hits that are really needed, whether on fuel supplies, as Proc suggests or on significant command/control targets.

#4  With the US Navy at his disposal, Biden is either unable or unwilling to secure commercial shipping routes on international water ways. I'm guessing he's unwilling more than unable. I hate to think the navy couldn't solve this problem in a day or two if the commander-in-chief would only give the order. This makes America look weak and foolish to the rest of the world. He should be impeached for dereliction of duty, not just for the border but for this scandal as well.

US and UK carry out new acts of aggression against Yemen

, targeting with a series of raids the Hodeidah province, west of the country.

A security source in Hodeidah confirmed that American-British warplanes hit al-Salif District three times.

These attacks come after reports of naval operations by the Yemeni Armed Forces south of Aden and west of Hodeidah.

Media outlets quoted the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) as saying that it had received a report about a new attack 57 nautical miles south of the Yemeni city of Aden and the sinking of a ship this morning, 77 nautical miles west of Hodeidah.

Observers believe that the American-British attacks on civilian objects in Yemen are a desperate attempt to stop Yemen from continuing its decision to prevent Zionist ships from passing through the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean in support of the resistance and support for the Paleostinian people in the Gazoo

Iraqi Resistance strikes vital Israeli military site
Did Israel notice? They usually don’t when the attack comes from Iraq…
[HODHODYEMENNEWS] The Islamic Resistance® in Iraq has carried out new operations against a vital Israeli military site.

The umbrella group of resistance factions said on Tuesday that it targeted the regime's military site in the occupied Umm al-Rashrash also known as Eilat.

The group added that the operation was in support of Paleostinians and in response to Israel's ongoing genocidal war in Gazoo

The Iraqi resistance group has repeatedly stated that it will continue its anti-Israel operations if the Gaza genocide continues.

Regional resistance groups have repeatedly targeted sensitive and important Israeli bases in occupied Paleostine.

They have also targeted American sites in Iraq and Syria in recent months amid growing anger at the US support for Israel's bloody war on the Gaza Strip.

Israel's genocidal war against Gaza has so far killed more than 40,000 Paleostinians, mostly women and kiddies.

On Sunday evening, the Islamic Resistance® in Iraq carried out operations against Israeli military targets on the occupied Syrian Golan Heights.

The Iraqi resistance said that the operations were in support of Paleostinians and in response to Israel's massacres of civilians in Gaza.

There are nearly 2,500 American troops in Iraq and some 900 in Syria as part of, what Washington claims to be, a fighting force against ISIS.

The US has maintained its presence, although, the Arab countries and their allies defeated the Takfiri

Israel's war on Gaza live: Mass exodus in Deir el-Balah amid ground assault
  • [Al Jazeera] Thousands of Palestinians fled parts of Deir el-Balah as the Israeli military issued new evacuation orders and its forces advanced deeper into the overcrowded central city.
  • The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) decried a “horrific attack” on another school-turned shelter in northern Gaza City. At least four people were killed in the Israeli assault on Salah al-Din School.

Israeli strikes kill dozens in Gaza after Blinken ends visit with truce deal still elusive

killed at least 50 Paleostinians in the past 24 hours, Paleostinian health authorities said on Wednesday, as the military said troops continued to target forces of Evil and seize weapons and ammunition.

As last-ditch diplomatic efforts continued to halt the 10-month-old war between Israel and Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
, the Israeli military said jets hit around 30 targets throughout the Gaza Strip including tunnels, launch sites and an observation post.

It said troops killed dozens of armed fighters and captured weapons including explosives, grenades and automatic rifles.

The military issued new evacuation orders in the heavily overcrowded area of Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza, where hundreds of thousands of Paleostinians displaced by the fighting have sought shelter.

The evacuation orders, which the military said were needed to clear civilians from what had become ''a dangerous combat zone,'' were soon followed by tank fire with at least one person killed and several maimed by machine gun fire, medics and residents said.

The conflict churned on as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken
...71st United States secretary of state and a leading light of the corrupt and inept Biden administration. He previously served as deputy national security advisor from 2013 to 2015 and deputy secretary of state from 2015 to 2017 under the corrupt and inept Obama administration. He advocated for the 2003 invasion of Iraq while serving as the Democratic staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 2002 to 2008. He was a foreign policy advisor for the Biden 2008 presidential campaign. During his tenure in the Obama administration, Blinken helped craft B.O.'s policy on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the nuclear program of Iran. We all saw how well each of those worked. After leaving government service, Blinken moved into the private sector, co-founding WestExec Advisors, a lobbying firm...

They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
, as well as in Israel, is the fate of tiny, crowded Gaza, where Israel's military campaign has killed more than 40,000 people since October according to Paleostinian health authorities, and of the remaining hostages being held there.

The war in Gaza began on Oct. 7 last year when Hamas button men stormed into Israeli communities and military bases, killing around 1,200 people and abducting about 250 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.

For the displaced left exposed in Deir al-Balah, the lack of progress toward a ceasefire compounded the misery as they searched for space away from the fighting.

''Where will we go? Where will we go?'' said Aburakan, 55, a displaced person from Gaza City in the territory's north who has had to change refuge five times since October.

''We feel they are closing in. I live a few hundred meters from the threatened areas, and I have been searching since the early morning in vain for a space in western Deir al-Balah, Khan Younis, or Nuseirat,'' he told Rooters via a chat app.
So, you can charge your smartphone?
''Unfortunately, we may die before we see an end to this war. All ceasefire talk is a lie.''

Paleostinian and United Nations
...the Oyster Bay money pit...
officials say most of the 2.3 million population have become internally displaced by Israel's ongoing military offensive and bombardment that have also flattened swathes of built-up areas across the enclave.

#1  Giving the finger to the USA. Again.
And Blinken is a Jew and a dual citizen, even.
And still, Israel disrespects him and America like this.
Well, it's not like this is anything new.

#2  Liar.

Yes, Secretary Blinken is Jewish, and even was reared by a Holocaust survivor who escaped the Nazi death march to take refuge in an American tank. But he was born in Yonkers and never took Israeli citizenship.

Nor is there any reason for Israel to respect someone who so clearly prioritizes Israel’s enemies — also America’s enemies, but whatevs.

Gaza corpse count at more than 40,223

#1 
1st of all.
It is HAMAS that is refusing to attend truce talks, not Israel.

2nd, GAZANS, have openly & historically supported HAMAS and other Terrorist groups.

3rd, GAZA leaders are the source of these numbers.
Naturally, I question the accuracy of any numbers GAZA presents.

4th, HAMAS does not seem to care about what happens to GAZA either. Since its goal is DEATH TO ISRAEL. So Hamas, any Islamic, JEW or Christian killed just furthers their evil ideology.

5th, Oct. 7th.
The Oct 7th massacre took weeks/months to plan, supply, stage and then execute from GAZA. So it is clear it had to have had serious local support to have accomplished what it did, and as quickly as it was done.

6th, Now let us discuss HAMAS and other Terrorists hiding among women and children, hospital, daycares and schools. Knowing it could/would facilitate their deaths, once the Terrorist deliberately leak, or their locations are discovered.


MOST OF GAZA IS FAR FROM INNOCENT.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Al-Aqsa Martyr martyred in Lebanon car strike
[GEOTV] A deadly strike near southern Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
's Sidon, which was reported earlier, killed Khalil al-Maqdar, a Paleostinian connected to the Fatah movement, Al Jazeera reported citing Lebanese media.

Senior Fatah member Fathi Abu al-Aradat told the AFP news agency that Maqdar was an official with the group.
WAS
Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, an gang in the occupied West Bank with ties to Fatah, also described Maqdar as one of its leaders.

Maqdar's brother, Munir al-Maqdah, who is a brigadier-general in the group, was quoted in Lebanon's al-Mayadeen media as saying "the path to victory or martyrdom, and liquidations only make us stronger".
