Truck driver identified after disturbing stabbing murder of THREE women at Tennessee truck stop
A now-deceased truck driver has been identified by police after stabbing and killing three women and putting another in the hospital during a bloody encounter at a Tennessee truck stop.
Idris Abdus-Salaam, 33, was the man behind the Tuesday morning deaths of three women at the Pilot Travel Center on Strawberry Plains Pike in Tennessee, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations (TBI) has announced.
Abdus-Salaam was a truck driver from Durham, North Carolina, and the three deceased women were all employees of Pilot. The fourth woman, who is currently getting treatment at the hospital, was a customer.
The motivations behind Salaam’s attack are unknown at this point.
TBI spokesperson Leslie Earhart said Salaam was shot and killed by an officer after police arrived on the scene and found a woman bleeding outside of the travel center and Salaam refused to drop his knife. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
TBI will be launching a probe into the officer-involved shooting.
The three deceased victims have been identified as Joyce Whaley, 57, Patricia Denise Nibbe, 51, and Nettie R. Spencer, 41.
Abdus-Salaam was previously arrested in Raleigh, North Carolina, in 2018 for felony eluding arrest with a motor vehicle.
Records show Iran lied about making nuclear weapons

April 9 (UPI) -- A non-profit global science and security group says in a new report that Iran has built a plant to produce nuclear weapons despite its insistence that all its atomic endeavors are wholly peaceful.
The Washington, D.C.-based Institute for Science and International Security said the 30-page report is based on documents from the Iran Nuclear Archive that were seized by Israel two years ago.
The analysis, posted Wednesday, said Tehran has "clearly" been dishonest with the International Atomic Energy Agency, which relies on government cooperation and onsite inspections. "Iran should declare this site to the International Atomic Energy Agency and allow its inspection, since the facility was designed and built to handle nuclear material subject to safeguards under Iran's comprehensive safeguards agreement," wrote scientists David Albright, Sarah Burkhard and Frank Pabian.
The report says Iran created the Shahid Mahallati Uranium Metals Workshop, near Tehran, to research and develop uranium metallurgy related to building nuclear weapons -- particularly components for weapons-grade uranium, the key explosive material in Iranian nuclear weapon cores.
The group said Iran told the IAEA more than four years ago it hadn't done any metallurgical work intended for nuclear weaponry and wasn't willing to discuss any similar activities "that did not have such an application."
"The activities at Shahid Mahallati and [another plant] Shahid Boroujerdi are a dramatic contrast to that statement," the report added. "Highlighting once again that Iran furthered its nuclear weapons capabilities far more than was known prior to Israel's seizure of the Nuclear Archive, permitting Iran today to build nuclear weapons faster than previously believed.
"Despite this chilling assessment, the new details in the Nuclear Archive now confront Iran, demanding that it admit to its deceptions and falsehoods, as if the Nuclear Archive is reality denied coming back to haunt Iran."
The group said the main building at one of the plant sites was gutted and abandoned between late 2010 and early 2011, and that Iran has yet to declare the site to the IAEA or allow inspections.
The United States led multiple Western governments, Russia and China in an agreement with Iran four years ago to limit Tehran's nuclear capability in exchange for sanctions relief. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action was abandoned by the Trump administration in 2018 and President Donald Trump reintroduced sanctions to force them back to the bargaining table.
Iran and remaining parties to the deal -- Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the European Union -- have expressed an interest in saving the deal, but Iran wants U.S. sanctions to end.

Arab terrorist infiltrates IDF base, attacks two soldiers
..
The terrorist escaped through a breach in the fence
An Arab terrorist, his face covered, entered a guard post at an Israeli Army base and attacked two IDF soldiers.
The terrorist then escaped through a breach in the fence. The two soldiers were lightly injured and were treated on the scene.
The attack took place at the Mishmar Hanegev base at 4:30 a.m. Monday morning.
IDF soldiers saw the suspect approaching the guard post and shouted at him to “Stop.” He ignored them and began attacking the soldiers with a knife and another weapon before escaping the way he came.
IDF forces are searching for the terrorist. “We have been scouring the area for several hours trying to find him,” said a member of the security forces participating in the search. “There are many forces here, including the police, security personnel from nearby communities and the IDF.”
The IDF says that it believes the suspect entered the base in order to steal weapons.
However, an IDF official told Israeli news site N12: “It is still unclear whether this is a national or criminal incident, it is under investigation. But in any case, this is a serious event that could have ended differently and we will do everything to get our hands on the suspect.”
Germany arrests 5 in suspected Islamic State plot
targeting U.S. military facilities
By Danielle HaynesApril 15 (UPI) -- German authorities arrested four suspected members of the Islamic State on Wednesday for allegedly plotting to attack U.S. bases in the European country.
The German federal prosecutors office accused the four men -- and their suspected leader already in custody -- of founding an IS cell in Germany and planning to travel to their home country of Tajikistan to fight against the government.
Abandoning that plan, the men then plotted to attack locations in Germany, including U.S. military facilities, prosecutors said. Specifically, the men allegedly planned to kill a person they believed made comments critical of Islam.
Investigators said the suspected leader, Ravsan B., gave the other four men instructions on how to manufacture explosive devices. The man had already acquired some of the components for such devices, the prosecutors said.
The four men, natives of Tajikistan, were arrested throughout the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The federal prosecutors office identified them as Azizjon B., Muhammadali G., Farhodshoh K. and Sunatullokh K.

Islamist terrorists “plotting Covid-19 (coronavirus) curfew attack” on Christians shot dead by Egypt police
16 April 2020Seven members of an Islamist terrorist cell suspected of plotting to attack Christians in Egypt under cover of the national nightly Covid-19 curfew, were shot dead by police on 14 April.
Egypt’s Interior Ministry, which oversees the police force, said the gang was preparing to strike on or before Sunday 19 April, when Orthodox Christians will celebrate Easter.
Islamist terrorists, killed in a gun battle with Egyptian police, planned an Easter attack on Christians while the authorities' attention was diverted implementing measures to combat coronavirus
“The cell was planning to commit its terrorist operation during the nightly [Covid-19] curfew, taking advantage of the state’s preoccupation with fighting the coronavirus,” said Farouk al-Makrahy, a former assistant to the Minister of Interior.
A police officer was killed when security forces raided a ten-storey apartment block in Al Amiriya, east of Cairo, where the alleged terrorists were hiding. The Interior Ministry reported that security forces seized weapons and ammunition in the raid, including six machine guns.
Egypt has remained under a state of emergency since 2017, when Islamic State (IS) suicide bombers attacked two churches on Palm Sunday, killing at least 46 people.
In January 2019, an Egyptian police officer was killed while attempting to defuse a bomb planted near a Cairo church only two days before 7 January, the date when Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas.
On 29 December 2018, IS gunmen killed nine Christians as they walked to a church in Helwan, south of Cairo.
In December 2016, 29 people were killed, mainly women and girls, when an IS suicide bomber detonated his explosives in a church near the main cathedral in Cairo.
Tunisia : Terrorist plot to infect security forces with COVID-19, thwarted
by AfricanManager - Apr 16, 2020The National Unit for Investigation into Terrorist Crimes announced that it had foiled a terrorist attack plot. According to the same source, the alleged perpetrator of the plot is a “takfiri element” from the governorate of Kebili, recently released from prison after being incarcerated there in a terrorism-related case.
In a statement on Thursday to TAP, spokesman for the National Guard Houssemeddine Jebabli said the terrorist element used his moral authority over the takfiris in the region, especially those with symptoms of COVID-19, to incite them to spit, cough and sneeze into the premises of the security unit in the region and the officers working there. These takfiris, subject to administrative control, have to go frequently to the unit in question.
One of the takfiri elements acknowledged the facts, admitting however, that he had been unable to execute the plan because of the strict preventive measures taken in the premises of the security unit.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office to the Judicial Anti-Terrorist Division ordered that the main accused be placed in police custody and that the second accused be kept in mandatory medical isolation until a test is carried out to determine whether or not he is a carrier of the COVID-19.
US-backed terrorists surrender to Syria's army
The military claimed the desertion of 27 armed men who left the U.S.-occupied Tanef area on the border shared by Syria, Iraq and Jordan, a security official quoted by Al-Khabar television said.
He explained that the defectors are from an elite brigade of the Mafghawir Al-Thawra terrorist group, armed, financed and trained by the US occupation forces in Tanef.
Pictures posted on social networks showed the radicals handing over to the military eight truckloads of cones, night glasses and different types of ammunition.
Washington maintains an illegal base in the Tanef region where it trains terrorist groups that frequently attack Syrian oil facilities in the vast Syrian desert.

Afghan forces intercept Taliban fighters, find Jaish terrorists training for Kashmir
Masood Azhar
The Afghan forces had carried out a raid in Nangarhar’s Muhmand Dara at what was presumed to be a Taliban camp that led to a bloody gunfight. At the end of the clash that cost the Afghan security forces four lives on April 13-14 night, the security personnel discovered that only 5 of the 15 men they had killed were from the Afghan Taliban. The other 10 were Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists being trained to fight in Jammu and Kashmir.
One Jaish terrorist survived the gunfight and was captured.
Counter-terror operatives in Delhi and Kabul told HT that the Masood Azhar-founded Jaish-e-Mohammed, which shares the same Deobandi umbilical cord with Taliban, appeared to be running three camps (called Mustaquil) along with four Taliban camps in Nangarhar province. The camps have been identified as Khogyani I, Khogyani II and Dargah camp in Nangarhar province and were lent by the Taliban in lieu of Haqqani network’s cadre being trained in JeM’s camps in Pakistan.
Hindustan Times has accessed photographs and video footage of the clash. One of these photographs shows some of the weapons seized by the Afghan security forces from the camp: 2 mortar launchers, one rocket-propelled grenade and 2 AK series rifles.
