Afghanistan
Afghanistan says it killed 58 Pakistani soldiers overnight
[NYPOST] Afghanistan said Sunday it killed 58 Pak soldiers in overnight border operations, in response to what it called repeated violations of its territory and airspace. The Mighty Pak Army gave far lower casualty figures, saying 23 troops were killed.

Earlier in the week, Afghan authorities accused Pakistain of bombing the capital, Kabul, and a market in the country's east. Pakistain did not claim responsibility for the assault.

The Taliban
...Arabic for students...
government's chief front man, Zabihullah Mujahid, said Afghan forces have captured 25 Mighty Pak Army posts, leaving 30 Pak soldiers maimed.

''The situation on all official borders and de facto lines of Afghanistan is under complete control, and illegal activities have been largely prevented,'' Mujahid told a news conference in Kabul.

Pakistain has previously struck locations inside Afghanistan, targeting what it alleges are murderous Moslem hideouts, but these have been in remote and mountainous areas. The two sides have also skirmished along the border in the past. Saturday night's heavy festivities underscore the deepening tensions.

The Taliban government's Defense Ministry said early Sunday morning its forces had conducted ''retaliatory and successful operations'' along the border.

Europe
18 cops injured in clashes with anti-Israel rioters in Swiss capital
[IsraelTimes] Some 5,000 people, many masked and dressed in black, gather for unauthorized demonstration in Bern, cause millions of dollars’ worth of damage

Violent festivities at an unauthorized anti-Israel rally in the Swiss capital of Bern this weekend left 18 law enforcement officers and two demonstrators injured, and caused extensive property damage, police said Sunday.

The demonstration in the city on Saturday afternoon drew more than 5,000 people, including a large number clad in black and wearing masks,
…(Antifa)…
who clashed with police and vandalized property.

The "demonstration escalated into unrest, causing significant property damage," Bern police said in a statement.

"Law enforcement officers were also repeatedly attacked with dangerous objects," including construction equipment, furniture, rocks, bottles, fire extinguishers, fireworks and laser pointers, it said.

Police responded "with force," using water cannons, tear gas, rubber bullets and police batons, it added.
It sounds like a whiff of grapeshot would have been salutary….
In all, 16 male and two female officers were maimed, including four who had to be hospitalized, police said, adding that it was aware of two other people who required medical attention following the festivities.

The property damage was "extensive," the statement said, describing smashed shop windows and ATM screens, tagged and defaced facades, and nine police vehicles "heavily damaged or tagged."

More than 50 properties in Bern were damaged, with windows smashed and graffiti sprayed on buildings, police said.

The total amount of damage was expected to be "in the millions" of Swiss francs (1 franc = $1.25 USD), police said.

A total of 536 people were detained and had their identities checked before being removed from the area.

One of those checked was already the subject of an arrest warrant, the statement said, adding that others risked charges for offenses including rioting, property damage, home invasion, bodily harm, intentional arson, and violence or threats against authorities.

The rally was organized by various pro-Paleostinian groups and left-wing organizations, including the Swiss Climate Strike and the Young Communists,
…the gang all there in a show of strength to cow the rubes…
according to the SWI news outlet, which noted that Amnesty International teams were also present to monitor the protest.

Migrant Guilty of Farage Death Threat, Faces Child Porn Charge
[BREITBART] It can now be revealed that the Afghan migrant who threatened to kill Nigel Farage already has an extensive criminal history in Sweden, including knife offences, offences against women, and a pending case for alleged child pornography.

The Southwark Crown Court found 26-year-old Fayaz Khan, also known as Fayaz Hosseini and his internet handle Madapasa, guilty of threatening to kill Nigel Farage. The jury returned a unanimous verdict after two days of deliberation.

Khan also pleaded guilty to entering the country illegally.

Responding to the guilty verdict, Mr Farage said of the case: ''I already knew — although I couldn't say this in court — that he's up for a knife charge in Sweden. And the fact he had a Kalashnikov tattooed on his face— made me think this is the kind of person we don't want in the United Kingdom.''

Farage said he felt vindicated in his earlier warnings about the danger and said Khan should now be deported. He said:

—otherwise he'd be walking around, maybe in your neighbourhood right now if I hadn't put that video out. And think about this, while there may be some genuine people who cross the channel, but almost every day there are people like Madapasa who will do this country and its people, particularly its girls and women very, very great harm—

Fifth Column
Portland emergency helicopters divert from hospital over laser party ICE threats
[NYPOST] A call to shine laser lights into the sky in an effort to disrupt federal helicopters flying over South Portland has prompted serious safety concerns and forced a key trauma hospital to reroute air ambulances.

The online flyer, posted on the homepage of Rose City Counter-Info, a self-described ''anarchist counter-info platform in so-called Portland, Oregon,'' encourages participants to take part in a ''laser tag'' event aimed at federal aircraft.

The post urges individuals to mask up, coordinate with others, and take steps to avoid identification — including cleaning laser pointers with alcohol, wearing gloves, and removing potential DNA traces before disposal.

As a result of the planned activity, Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) reported that multiple air ambulance providers declined to land at the hospital's rooftop helipad on Saturday night, according to KGW.

Instead, they redirected their helicopters to nearby airports, requiring patients to be transferred to OHSU by ground ambulance — a process estimated to add 45 to 60 minutes to travel time.

''For most patients, that will be an acceptable delay. However,
if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well...
for some sensitive situations, such as unstable trauma patients, STEMIs and strokes, the delay could have real impacts,'' OHSU said in an email to KGW.

The hospital also advised staff to ''incorporate additional transit time into their decision-making,'' and strongly urged the public not to participate in the laser event, calling it ''extremely dangerous.''

were released by Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
Monday — with all 20 reportedly walking to Red Thingy trucks under their own power following a historic cease-fire deal introduced by President Trump.

The first seven hostages returned to Israel around 2:30 a.m. ET Monday after being transported out of the Paleostinian territory by Red Thingy trucks. The remaining 13 hostages were released by Hamas hours later.

Emotional scenes emerged as the hostages spoke to family members for the first time after 738 days in Hamas hell.

Twin brothers Gali and Ziv Berman, who were kept apart for two years, embraced as they were finally reunited.

Mothers and fathers sobbed as they saw their sons for the first time in video calls. In-person reunions were expected later on Monday.

The bodies of 28 other hostages are still in the Paleostinian enclave and are expected to be released over the next several days.

Ministry of Interior in Gaza offers amnesty option to gang members not involved in murder

Strip announced on Sunday the opening of a period for "repentance and general amnesty" for members of gangs "not involved in bloodshed," to regularize their security and legal status.

The ministry clarified in a statement that the decision follows the entry into force of the ceasefire agreement with the Israeli occupation, and aims to restore security, stability, and strengthen national cohesion.

It noted that some gangs exploited the chaos during the war to commit illegal acts, but some of their members did not participate in murder crimes.

The ministry demanded that these individuals surrender themselves to the security services within one week, starting tomorrow morning, Monday (October 13, 2025), until the end of Sunday (October 19, 2025).

It warned that firm measures would be taken against anyone who refuses to surrender or insists on violating the law.
