Iraq: 3 Islamic State militants killed in Salahudin province

[ad_1]
Baghdad: Three Islamic State (IS) militants were killed in airstrikes while a security member was killed in a separate incident in the Salahudin province north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, the Iraqi military said.
A force from the Iraqi Counter-Terrorism Service was sent at dawn on Wednesday to search IS hideouts that had been bombarded by Iraqi F-16 jet fighters the day before in the Balkanah Mountain in the northeast of the province, Xinhua news agency reported, citing a statement issued by the Security Media Cell, a media outlet affiliated with the Iraqi Joint Operations Command.
The troops found three bodies of the extremist IS militants at the bombed hideouts, along with weapons and other equipment, it said.
In a separate incident, a security member was killed and another wounded on Wednesday when IS militants attacked a security outpost near the town of Tuz Khormatu in the eastern part of Salahudin province.
Over the past months, Iraqi security forces have conducted operations against extremist militants to crack down on their intensified activities.
The security situation in Iraq has been improving since the defeat of the IS in 2017. However, IS remnants have since sneaked into urban centers, deserts and rugged areas, carrying out frequent guerilla attacks against security forces and civilians.

2 killed, 16 injured after train derails in Egypt

[ad_1]
Cairo: At least two people were killed and 16 others injured after a train derailed in Qalyub, a city in the Qalyubia Governorate about 23 km north of Egypt’s capital Cairo.
Egypt’s Health Ministry said that 10 of the 16 injured people were receiving medical treatment at the Qalyub Specialist Hospital, adding that their injuries were not life-threatening, Xinhua news agency reported.
The other six injured people were released after suffering minor injuries and bruises.
Meanwhile, Egyptian National Railways said in a statement that the train went through the “closed semaphore” at the Qalyub Train Station and headed toward a blocked railway before colliding with the protection at the end of the railway.
As a result, the locomotive and the first carriage were derailed, the statement said, adding the Egyptian Transportation Ministry formed a committee to investigate the accident.
Meanwhile, Egypt’s Public Prosecutor also ordered an investigation into the Qalyub train collision.
Egypt’s railway system has long been troubled by poorly maintained equipment and poor administration, which frequently results in train derailments and crashes. At least 32 people were killed in a train collision in 2021 in Tahta, a city in southern Egypt. Later that year, a train derailed in Qalyubia, killing 11 people.

At least 6 Palestinians killed in Israeli raid in West Bank

[ad_1]
Jerusalem: At least six Palestinians were killed in the West Bank in an Israeli raid aimed at arresting a suspect involved in the killing of two Israeli brothers the previous week, Palestinian and Israeli officials said.
In a video statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the Palestinian suspect was killed during the raid on Tuesday in the refugee camp of Jenin in the northern West Bank, Xinhua news agency reported.
The Palestinian Health Ministry stated in a press release that six individuals were killed by gunshots, and at least 16 others were wounded during a gunbattle between Palestinians and Israeli troops in Jenin.
Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security agency, said in a statement that the Israeli troops surrounded a building where the suspect, identified as 49-year-old Abdel Fattah Hussein Kharousha, and other militants were hiding.
The troops fired shoulder-launched missiles at the building. Video footage on social media showed large clouds of smoke emerging from a building in Jenin.
The Israeli authorities said Kharousha, a member of the Palestinian armed group and movement of Hamas, shot dead two Israeli settlers outside the town of Hawara in the northern West Bank on February 26. The attack prompted hundreds of Israeli settlers to go on a rampage in Hawara and other nearby towns, torching Palestinian houses, cars, and shops.
Netanyahu on Tuesday praised the Israeli forces, while vowing to continue to pursue Palestinian assailants who attack Israelis. “Whoever hurts us — his blood on his head,” he said.
Meanwhile, Palestinian Presidential Spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh condemned the Israeli raid in a statement, saying that the “crime committed by the occupation forces reaffirms the Israeli government’s intention to thwart all regional and international efforts aimed at stopping all unilateral actions.”

The raid is the latest in a series of Israeli military operations in the West Bank to arrest Palestinians suspected of killing Israelis.
The Israeli-Palestinian tension has been escalating since the start of this year, leading to the killing of more than 70 Palestinians and 13 Israelis amid a vicious circle of violence.

2 Americans killed, 2 survivors returned to U.S. after kidnapping in Mexico

[ad_1]

The four U.S. citizens, who have not been publicly identified, were kidnapped at gunpoint on Friday in Matamoros, in the state Tamaulipas, shortly after crossing the border into Mexico, officials said. A Mexican woman was also killed in the episode. The four Americans were later found in Ejido Longoreño, a rural area east of Matamoros, The Associated Press reported, after getting caught amid fighting between rival cartel groups last week.
“We’re providing all appropriate assistance to [the victims] and their families,” Price said on Tuesday. “We extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased. We thank our Mexican and U.S. law enforcement partners for their efforts to find these innocent victims, and the task forward is to ensure that justice is done.”
Both the FBI and the Justice Department are investigating the episode, and authorities “will be relentless in pursuing justice” on behalf of the victims, Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement on Tuesday. “We will do everything in our power to identify, find, and hold accountable the individuals responsible for this attack on American citizens.”
The FBI said that the investigation into the kidnapping was ongoing, and that the agency was working with the State Department to recover the bodies of the two victims who were killed.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also addressed the kidnapping on Tuesday.
“Since day one of this administration, we have been focused on disrupting transnational criminal organizations, including Mexican drug cartels and human smugglers,” Jean-Pierre said at the daily press briefing, adding the Biden administration had “imposed powerful new sanctions against cartel organizations in recent weeks.”
She declined to provide names of those abducted. “For the sake of privacy and out of respect to the families, we are going to refrain from further comment about those circumstances at this time,” she said.

According to the police, the youth had come in a car to the pump station for fuel. The workers told them that the bunk had closed for the day. The customers, however, requested them to fill the tank as they have to go a long distance. The bunk employees relented and filled the tank.
At the time of bill payment, one of the youths gave his credit card. The bunk cashier told them that they don’t have the swiping machine and asked them to pay the cash.
To this, the youth picked up an argument with the cashier and attacked him. Sanjay, one of the bunk employees, intervened and asked the youth not to assault him. Enraged over this, the youth thrashed Sanjay. The employee collapsed after one of the youth punched him on his head.
Sanjay died before he could be taken to the hospital. The attackers, who were in an inebriated condition, escaped in the car.
The incident was recorded on a CCTV camera. Narsingi police identified the accused as Narender, Mallesh, and Anoop, all residents of Janwada village, and launched a hunt for them.

Hyderabad honour killing: Dalit man killed by lover’s brother; 10 held

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Ten persons have been arrested for allegedly hacking a Dalit man to death in Petbasheerabad on March 1. The deceased had eloped with a woman of another caste.
The couple – 28-year-old Devarakonda Harish, a DJ sound system operator, and 25-year-old Manisha – had eloped to get married.
Manisha’s brother Deendayal, 30, was arrested along with his friends – Naresh, Venkatesh Goud, Rohit Singh, Band Venkat, Gaddam Akshay Kumar, Parwary Aniketh, Koyalkar Manish, Bure Sainath, and Mathangi Rajendra Kumar.
While Harish was a resident of Sooraram, Manisha lived in Ziyaguda area of the city. They would constantly talk on the phone. Harish was repeatedly warned by Manisha’s family members to stay away from her but the couple did not pay heed.
On February 22, the couple eloped and rented an apartment in Petbasheerabad. They were soon planning to get married.
However, on the night March 1, Harish and Manisha were attacked by her brother and his friends near Anjaneya Swamy temple in Dulapally, the police said. Harish was stabbed to death and Manisha was taken away.
Correction
Siasat.com had earlier reported about the same incident and mentioned the woman belonging to a Muslim community. However, according to the Petbasheerabad police, the woman belongs to a backward community. It is not an inter-faith honour killing.
Police Inspector Gauri Prashanth of Petbasheerabad told AltNews that victim & accused are from same religion. Harish was hacked to death by his girlfriend Manisha’s brother Deendayal along with friends Naresh, Venkatesh, Rohit, Venkat, Akshay, Aniketh, Manish, Sainsth, Rajendra. https://t.co/4h8SQscAbM pic.twitter.com/mY1II2lYwx

Widows of 3 jawans killed in 2019 Pulwama attack seek permission to end own lives

[ad_1]
Jaipur: Widows of three CRPF personnel killed in the 2019 Pulwama terror attack accused the Rajasthan government of not fulfilling its promises made to them and sought permission from Governor Kalraj Mishra to end their own lives, the BJP’s Rajya Sabha MP Kirodi Lal Meena said on Saturday.
Meena has been sitting on a dharna here with the family members of the martyrs for the last few days.
He along with the wives of the CRPF personnel killed in the Pulwama attack went to Raj Bhawan to hand over a representation to the governor. After coming out from Raj Bhawant, they started moving towards the chief minister’s residence and were stopped by the police.
Meena alleged that police personnel pushed the women in which Manju Jat, the widow of Rohitashav Lamba got injured and was admitted to the hospital.
The BJP leader said that instead of fulfilling the demands of the families of the martyrs, the state government was taking recourse to “dictatorship”. “The police misbehaved with them even when they were protesting at the assembly gate recently,” he alleged.
Meena and the family members of the Pulwama terror attack martyrs handed over the representation in Raj Bhawan in which Manju Jat, Madhubala, Sundari Devi and Renu Singh sought permission for euthanasia.
Meena is sitting at dharna at Shaheed Smarak with the family members of the martyrs.
