[FOXNEWS] A man drove a car into a metal gate at the FBI's Pittsburgh field office early Wednesday in what authorities described as an intentional "act of terror."
The suspect, identified as Donald Henson of Penn Hills, Pennsylvania, allegedly rammed an entrance gate at around 2:40 a.m. with a white Toyota sedan before getting out and then grabbing an American flag from inside the vehicle and throwing it over the gate, FBI Special Agent in Charge Christopher Giordano said at a press briefing.
Henson fled on foot after the crash and may be dangerous, Giordano added. It was not immediately clear if he was armed. No FBI personnel were hurt.
"We look at this as an act of terror against the FBI," Giordano said, per CBS. "This was a targeted attack on this building."
Authorities said Henson, a former military member, may have been experiencing a mental health issue. Y'think?
"Right now, he is wanted in connection with this crime against the FBI," Giordano added. "It is a federal offense and we will be seeking prosecution to the fullest extent."
Giordano said that Henson visited the Pittsburgh office recently.
"In scouring our indexes, we did find that he visited the field office a couple of weeks ago to make a complaint that didn't make a whole lot of sense," Giordano said. "We ran down everything that he came down with. It didn't have a federal nexus. We contacted him to let him know there wasn't a federal offense that we were able to charge."

[CHANNELSTV] Three commanders of the ISWAP terrorist group have been killed by troops of the Nigerian military during the terrorists' attempted ambush in Cross-Kauwa, at the lake Chad region. Cautious about three commanders at a single ambush. Sounds excessive.
They were identified as Modu Dogo Munzir of Dogon Chukun, an unidentified Munzir, and one Abu Aisha, Qaid of Tumbun Mota.
Eight other Death Eaters were also neutralized in the foiled ambush which saw the Death Eaters detonate a command improvised bomb on Monday.
According to Operation Hadin Kai Theater Command, troops of Sector 3 were on a scanning and picketing patrol along Baga-Cross Kauwa, a known supply route of the Death Eaters in Kukawa Local Government Area.
''In the first encounter on 15 September 2025, at about 8:00am, troops of Sector 3 on a scanning and picketing patrol along the Baga—Cross Kauwa Main Supply Route in Kukawa Local Government Area were ambushed by Death Eaters who detonated a Command Improvised Explosive Device (IED) and opened fire on the patrol team'' a statement from the Theater Command reads.
It added that a shootout ensued after the kaboom, forcing the Death Eaters to flee with varying degrees of injuries leading to the recovery of 14 cycle of violences, AK-47 rifles with magazines, rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, anti-aircraft, several blankets and other sundry items including drugs.

[GEO.TV] Israel struck Yemen's Houthi-held Hodeida port on Tuesday, saying it targeted infrastructure used by the Iran-backed rebels, who reported a dozen strikes on the area.
Israel has stepped up attacks on the Houthis, killing their prime minister and nearly half of his cabinet last month and leaving dozens dead in strikes last week mainly targeting the rebels' military media operation.
The rebels' Al-Masirah television said "12 Israeli enemy air strikes targeted the port of Hodeida".
Military spokesman Yahya Saree said the group's air defences were "currently confronting Israeli enemy aircraft launching an aggression against our country".
The Israeli military said it struck "a military infrastructure site belonging to the Huthi terrorist regime at the Hodeida port in Yemen".
It also accused the group of using the port "for the transfer of weapons supplied by the Iranian regime, in order to execute attacks against the State of Israel and its allies".
[Jpost] The IDF struck the Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... -controlled Hodeidah Port in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... on Tuesday, which is the main supply port of the Houthi terror regime, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement.
"The strike was carried out in response to the repeated attacks by the Houthi terrorist regime against the State of Israel, including the launch of UAVs and surface-to-surface missiles towards the State of Israel," read a statement shared by the IDF.
Al Masirah TV, a station affiliated with the Houthis, said that 12 Israeli strikes targeted the port's docks.
Two sources at the port told Rooters the strikes targeted three docks restored after previous Israeli hits. Residents in the area told Rooters the attack lasted about 10 minutes.
The strike comes after the Arabic Spokesperson Col. Avichay Adraee warned civilians to evacuate the area. Adraee urged ships anchored at the port to evacuate, and warned that anyone who remains "puts their life in danger."
Defense Minister Israel Katz commented on the attack, explaining that they aim to "ensure the continuation of the maritime and air blockade on the Houthis terrorist organization."
ISRAEL RESPONDS TO ATTACKS ON EILAT AIRPORT
The strikes come after a series of IDF attacks on Sanaa at the beginning of September, which targeted Houthi army camps, the headquarters of the Houthis’ propaganda department, and a fuel storage site that was used for the regime’s military activity.
This new campaign is a part of an operation that's centered around stopping the recent Houthi attacks on the Ramon Airport in Eilat, which caused the temporary closing of the city's airspace after a drone hit the airport.
The strike represented the longest flight made by an Israeli pilot since the beginning of the war, covering a total of 2,350 km. to complete the mission.
Sanaa residents told Rooters that the attack was on a hideout between two mountains that is used as a Houthi command and control center. The extent of the damage was not immediately clear.

[AFRICANEWS] In the Solino neighbourhood of Haiti's capital Port au Prince, residents are hard at work cleaning up what is left of their homes. The area was seized by gangs around a year ago, before they suddenly left in recent weeks and told residents they could return. Some have seen their entire livelihoods destroyed.
Among them is Gerald Jean, an entrepreneur. He says, ''I am an entrepreneur. I owned a funeral home, a hardware store, a botanica (apothecary), and a house rental service. In November, since November 13 or 14, I have been left with only a pair of pants and sandals.''
Police have told residents that it's unsafe to return to the area - a warning that some are taking on board, including Marie-Marthe Vernet. ''There is no way I will return to live here. I am not going to live with Viv Ansanm (gang),'' she says.
Others have ignored the warning - since being able to return home is a rare option with the capital being almost entirely controlled by gangs. They include Louisnor Felix, a bakery manager. ''It's really serious; they took what they could and broke everything. What they couldn't take, they broke and left behind,'' Felix says.
An estimated 90% of Port-au-Prince is now controlled by armed gangs, who have tightened their grip on Haiti since the liquidation of president Jovenel Moise in 2021.
…to Punjab, Karachi, and Islamabad where they will face court-martial and accountability for their crimes.

I could be wrong but I'll hazard a guess that these guys were hoping they could stay in Balochistan. Maybe Balochistan is less of a hell hole than Pakistan.

There is no such thing as the Republic of Balochistan as a real functioning govt. There are ethnic baloch in several countries, e.g., Pakistan, Iran.
It is, I think, an aspiration like, Kurdistan. Perhaps justified but not a reality.

[Regnum] The Israeli Air Force carried out an airstrike on a residential building in an area north of Gaza City, killing at least eight people and injuring more than 50, Al Jazeera reported, citing local sources.
"Israeli forces carried out an airstrike on a house in an area north of Gaza City, killing at least eight people and wounding more than 50," the channel notes. Just some random house, eh?
Gaza City has been under intense and relentless bombardment since the early morning of September 16. The air attacks are unprecedented, according to France Press, citing eyewitnesses.
The Israeli military launched a massive attack on the city of Gaza, carrying out 37 airstrikes in 20 minutes.
The operation was one of the most intense since the latest escalation of the conflict. Axios previously reported on the start of a major Israeli ground offensive in the Gaza Strip.
According to sources, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, during contacts with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, assured that Washington supports the ground operation, but expects it to be completed as quickly and effectively as possible.
[GEO.TV] The Israeli military launched a ground assault on Gaza City overnight Tuesday, with troops advancing into the centre of Gaza's largest urban hub, a military official told journalists.
"We are moving towards the centre" of Gaza City, he said. When asked whether troops had moved deeper into central Gaza City he replied: "Yes."
"Last night, we transitioned into the next phase, the main phase of the plan for Gaza City... IDF (military) southern command forces have expanded ground activity into Hamas's main stronghold in Gaza, which is Gaza City," he said.
