Notice this is in the London and Washington, DC newspapers.

70 year old tactics Many have expressed surprise at the ostensible naivety of the North Korean troops under live fire for the first time. Unverified footage posted on Ukrainian social media shows soldiers of apparent Korean origin (although Russia’s Asian minorities also serve in its armed forces) attempting to hide behind trees in open, snowy fields while being mercilessly hunted by drones. A Facebook post by the 8th Special Forces regiment boasted of their “warm welcome for North Korean troops”. “They don’t understand what’s happening,” one Ukrainian drone commander told The Washington Post. “We were very surprised, we had never seen anything like it – forty to fifty people running across a field. That’s a perfect target for artillery and Mavic [drone] operators. Russians never ran like that.”

How the New Yorkers want so much money to arrest people.

Asenior U.S. diplomat informed Syria's new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, better known as Abu Mohammed al-Golani, on Friday that Washington was withdrawing its reward for his arrest, praising "positive messages" from their discussions, including a commitment to combating terrorism.

Federal agents nabbed a migrant Tren de Aragua gang crew holed up in a Bronx apartment — after tracking one of their ankle monitors to the hideout, sources told The Post. The Dec. 5 raid at an apartment building on the edge of Crotona Park, conducted by a federal task force made up of Homeland Security Investigations and the NYPD, landed seven alleged gangbangers in handcuffs, including a troublesome 28-year-old Venezuelan national who was wearing a court-ordered monitoring device that led the feds to the crew. Federal agents raided an apartment on Prospect Avenue in the Bronx on Dec. 5 and busted more than a half-dozen members of the migrant gang Tren de Aragua. Among them was Jhonaiker Alexander Gil Cardozo, 24, who had amassed at least four busts in two states after crossing the border in El Paso in September 2022. Another notorious TdA member, 30-year-old Jesus Manuel Quintero Granado, crossed the border in El Paso in September 2022 with his Peruvian wife and child, then headed into Canada, the sources said. But Canadian authorities denied the family’s asylum request in September 2023 and shipped them back to the US, where northern border agents released them pending an immigration hearing, the sources added.

Paty, 47, was murdered in October 2020 by an 18-year-old Islamist radical of Chechen origin after showing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in class. His killer, Abdoullakh Anzorov, died in a shootout with police. Two friends of Anzorov, Naim Boudaoud, 22, and Azim Epsirkhanov, 23, were on Friday convicted of complicity in the killing and jailed for 16 years.

The foreign fighters in the HTS alliance come from a variety of backgrounds: Chechens, Uighurs, Uzbeks, Afghans, Albanians – and even French nationals. These non-Syrian militants operate either within their own groups, which are aligned with HTS, or are embedded directly within its ranks. HTS itself has been designated as a terrorist organisation by both the US and EU.

This seems out there that the mayor can say that kind of stuff to a defendant in a trial.

NEW YORK (PIX11) – Mayor Eric Adams said he “wanted to send a strong message” when he met accused UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione in New York City on Thursday. Mangione was flown back to New York Thursday to face federal charges of murder and stalking in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Mayor Adams was photographed among police escorting Mangione before his court appearance in Manhattan. “I wanted to send a strong message with the police commissioner that we are leading from the front,” Mayor Adams said during an interview on PIX on Politics. “I’m not going to just allow him to come into our city. I wanted to look him in the eye and state that, ‘You carried out this terrorist act in my city, the city that the people of New York love.’ And I wanted to be there to show the symbolism of that.”

The neighborhood takes its name from the Civil War fort located at the top of the hill. It was built in 1861 and completed in 1863 to provide protection to the capital during the civil war. The fort is named for Joseph Gilbert Totten, a general in the War of 1812.

For example, if there is a dead body and someone fires at it is that a crime?
Is the getaway driver guilty of a crime?
There is only one dead body in this case.

The federal charges introduce the possibility of Mangione being sentenced to death if he’s found guilty of the federal murder charge, while the state charges carry a maximum penalty of life in prison without the possibility of parole. The push for federal charges came from the US Attorney’s office, multiple law enforcement sources told CNN. Because the FBI was already involved in the investigation assisting the NYPD with out-of-town leads, FBI agents were asked to draw up the federal complaint based on evidence collected by NYPD detectives working on the state charges and police in Pennsylvania who arrested Mangione.

This is from CNN.

But Mangione’s defense attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo said the new charges – which include murder through use of a firearm, two stalking charges and a firearms offense – “raise serious constitutional and statutory double jeopardy concerns.”

The BBC put this up.

Here are the 13 charges Mangione is facing As we've been reporting, Mangione is now facing federal charges, along with state charges in New York and Pennsylvania. Here's a breakdown of the charges against him:

Federal
Stalking - Use of Interstate Facilities
Stalking - Travel in Interstate Commerce
Murder through use of a firearm
Firearms offense

New York
First-degree murder
Murder as a crime of terrorism
Murder in the second degree (multiple charges)
Criminal possession of a firearm (multiple charges)

Pennsylvania
Forgery
Carrying a firearm without a license
Tampering with records or identification
Possessing instruments of crime
False identification to law enforcement

How in Europe sometimes there is a public figure and you follow that person in the news.

Orban suggests deciding on anti-Russian sanctions after Trump's inauguration — news agency Toward the end of the EU summit, the Hungarian prime minister "surprised his colleagues" by saying he was not ready to extend the sanctions, the sources said

Bulgarian Head of State Rumen Radev will meet today at the presidency building in Sofia with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. The Hungarian guest is visiting Bulgaria at the invitation of the Bulgarian president. Among the topics discussed will be the deepening of friendly relations between Bulgaria and Hungary, topics from the agenda of the European Union and the security environment in the region, the presidency has reported.

Jessica Tisch is both shocked and appalled.
The federal agent is respectfully submitting stuff.
Not everyone journals or reads journal entries.

Suspected UnitedHealthcare assassin Luigi Mangione's plan to 'wack' CEO revealed in journal entries: affidavit Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old former Ivy Leaguer who allegedly abandoned a career in computer science to assassinate UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is facing increasing legal troubles as state and federal prosecutors continue to up the charges against him and reveal new evidence. A new federal criminal complaint alleging charges of stalking, murder through use of a firearm and federal firearms offenses accuses Mangione of keeping a journal in which he outlined the deadly plot, mused about choosing a victim and patted himself on the back for continuing to research the target. The new federal case brings the potential for the death penalty back into the equation, should Mangione be convicted.

"I respectfully submit that MANGIONE is the Shooter who shot and killed the Victim on December 4, 2024," an FBI agent wrote in the affidavit. "Additionally, the Notebook entries, the Feds Letter, the Shooter’s apparent surveillance of the Midtown Hotel on November 24, 2024 and December 4, 2024, and the Shooter’s use of countersurveillance techniques and escape from New York City all suggest that the Shooter undertook extensive efforts to identify the Victim, place the Victim under surveillance, and track the Victim’s whereabouts in the time period leading up to the murder."

"Luigi Mangione is now formally charged and indicted for murder, and let me be perfectly clear, in the nearly two weeks since Mr. Thompson's killing, we have seen a shocking and appalling celebration of cold-blooded murder," NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters Wednesday. "Social media has erupted with praise for this cowardly attack."
