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.

Death Toll Rises to 86 in Ankara Bombing Massacre

Pro-Kurdish HDP party pins Ankara bombing massacre on President Erdogan

Two massive explosions at a peace rally in the Turkish capital Ankara have killed at least 86 people and injured 186, authorities said.

The deadly explosions happened shortly after 10:00 local time, targeting Turkey’s pro-Kurdish opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), ahead of a peace rally.

Eyewitnesses said the explosions were carried out by suicide bombers and that there were no police personnel present near the crime scene when the bombing occurred. The riot police arrived at the scene about 15 minutes later, according to HDP Foreign Affairs Commission.

The HDP has also accused the Turkish police of firing teargas on the people who were helping the injured.

The leader of pro-Kurdish HDP party has blamed the “State.” On Thursday, he had accused the Turkey’s President Erdogan for the assassinations of two people in Kurdish regions, earlier this week.

“Selahattin Demirtaş, the co-chair of the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), has claimed that the special operations forces who were sent by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the National Intelligence Organization (MİT) to predominantly Kurdish regions are committing murders in those areas,” said a report.

Iraqi violence: January’s Death Toll

1,431 Civilians killed in Iraqi violence in January: Report

At least 1,431 civilians were killed in Iraq violence last month, including 10 doctors and a journalist who were executed in Mosul and Anbar province respectively, said the Iraq Body Count. 

[Note: Mosul is a city of over a million people located in northern Iraq, about 400 km north of Baghdad. The city is currently controlled by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria terrorist organization.]

Thousands of others were wounded, said the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI).

A total of 1,375 Iraqis were killed and another 2,240 were wounded in acts of terrorism and violence in January, said UNAMI.

“In general, UNAMI has been hindered in effectively verifying casualties in conflict areas. Figures for casualties from Anbar Governorate are provided by the Health Directorate and are noted below. In some cases, UNAMI could only partially verify certain incidents. UNAMI has also received, without being able to verify, reports of large numbers of casualties along with unknown numbers of persons who have died from secondary effects of violence after having fled their homes due to exposure to the elements, lack of water, food, medicines and health care. For these reasons, the figures reported have to be considered as the absolute minimum,” the UN body said in a statement.

In 2014, more than 17,000 civilian were violently killed and at least 23,126 others wounded in Iraq, making it the deadliest year since the sectarian violence intensified in 2006-2007.
