And BTW:

The journey of two senior Al Qaeda-aligned commanders in northwestern Syria on Sunday was suddenly cut short by a targeted U.S.-led strike — only it doesn't appear that they were killed by explosives, but a missile packed with knives.

Tens of thousands of people in Mozambique have been displaced by the fighting

Militants linked to the Islamic State group have seized a heavily-defended port in Mozambique after days of fighting, according to reports.

Local media say government forces that were in the far northern town of Mocimboa da Praia fled, many by boat, after Islamists stormed the port.

The town is close to the site of natural gas projects worth $60m (£46m).

In recent months militants have taken a number of northern towns, displacing tens of thousands of people.

This was also one of several attacks on Mocimboa da Praia this year, as Islamic State-linked militants have stepped up attacks in the region.

The port is used for cargo deliveries to the oil projects about 60km (37 miles) away, which are being developed by oil giants including Total.

Two Islamic State suspects will not face the death penalty if convicted of the killings of Western hostages in Iraq and Syria, the US has told the UK.

Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh are accused of being the last two members of an IS cell dubbed "The Beatles" because of their UK accents.

The US sought the UK's help in the case but a legal fight over the use of the death penalty has stymied co-operation.

The US has now made clear the two will not be executed if found guilty.

In a letter to Home Secretary Priti Patel, US Attorney General William Barr said the US authorities would not seek the death penalty against the two men and "if imposed, it will not be carried out".

Now that is a real shame after what they are or have been up to.

WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Families of victims gunned down at two New Zealand mosques urged a judge to impose the toughest possible sentence, life without parole, on the gunman as he showed no remorse and appeared to smirk at one survivor during a sentencing hearing on Tuesday.

Of course he should not have any mitigating circumstances.

If he can bring those people back to life then he can go free.

Reminds one of Anders Breivik.
I wonder what goes on in these people, they are not typically crazy, they just seem to cross a certain line, at some point in their life.
Hating immigrants and foreigners is one thing, but indiscriminately killing as much as possible and anyone in reach is "a step beyond".

^ Right decision

And good article, thanks for posting.

"Tarrant added that he also hoped to "create conflict between the two ideologies within the United States on the ownership of firearms in order to further the social, cultural, political and racial divide"."

In a way he was successfull, if not in the US, and not quite what he intended:

"The attack prompted New Zealand to reform its gun laws."

Looks like there have been a minor clashes between American and Russian forces in the northern part of Syria

The official said that the injuries occurred when one of the Russian vehicles apparently deliberately collided with the American vehicle causing the crew to suffer "concussion-like injuries." Initial reports indicate as many as four Americans may have been injured.

The officials said a Russian military helicopter flew low and fast over the area in a tactic that is often used by military forces to try to disperse personnel on the ground.

And again has Islamic fanatisme shown it's ugly face

The history teacher was beheaded near a school in the commune of Conflans Saint-Honorine, northwest of the French capital, at around 5pm local time.

Police told the AFP agency that the teacher had shown cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad in his class.

A suspect was shot by police in the neighbouring town of Éragny and was presumed dead, judicial sources said.

Local media said the alleged attacker was carrying a knife
