Terrorists Strike Manchester, UK

Only a handful of terrorist organizations/ governments sick enough to target children

22 killed, 59 wounded in Manchester suicide bombing

At least 22 people, including children, have been killed and 59 others wounded in a suicide attack at Manchester Arena.

A “lone male attacker” detonated a “homemade bomb” in the foyer at 22:35 BST on Monday at the end of a performance by US singer Ariana Grande.

If this sickening act proves to be the work of Wahhabi terrorists, and it most probably was, it would also be a stab in the back for the so-called US presi-dent by the Saudi royal family.

Yemen hunger crisis: Refugee chief ‘shocked to the bones’

About 19 million people in Yemen [total population:  ~ 27 million] are in need of some form of aid, says the UN, as the price of basic commodities rise by a third.

The UN secretary general has warned that Yemen is facing a “tragedy of immense proportions,” with a child under five perishing of preventable causes every 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, Saudi forces reportedly threaten to attack the port of Hodeida, the last remaining humanitarian lifeline, as Trump works to “push through contracts for tens of billions of dollars in arms sales to Saudi Arabia.”

“I am shocked to my bones by what I have seen and heard here in war- and hunger- stricken Yemen. The world is letting some 7 million men, women and children slowly but surely, be engulfed by unprecedented famine. It is not a drought that is at fault. This preventable catastrophe is man-made from A to Z,” said Jan Egeland, Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council.

Yemen Casualty Toll: 1,042 Dead, 3,700 Wounded

Yemen’s ministry of health reported Thursday that the death toll in the country’s ongoing conflict has reached 1,042, with more than 3,700 others wounded. The latest figures include fatalities in Aden from ground fighting that left 185 dead, and 1,700 wounded.

Muslim Massacres

Last year, ISIL “carried out attacks deliberately and systematically targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, with the intention of killing and wounding civilians,” as a result of which thousands of people were killed or wounded, said the UN in a report published October 2014.

This year, air raids led by Saudi Arabia, which have failed to achieve the goal of bringing  the corrupt Yemeni President Hadi back to office, have killed more than a thousand people and wounded thousands more.

Saudi Royal Family, the so-called “guardians of Islam’s holiest shrine,” and their allies, four of the five other members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Qatar, in addition to Egypt, Jordan, Sudan and Morocco, have carried out air raids killing civilians, and deliberately destroying much of the public infrastructure.
