Le Havre. In court, he had threatened to "cut out the police and the judiciary"
The man was well known to the court for different cases, including similar facts
The atmosphere was strange to say the least, Monday, January 23, at the time of the immediate appearance of a 45-year-old homeless man. He was appearing for death threats and threats of recidivism… against representatives of the judicial system.
On Wednesday, January 18, while carrying out an administrative procedure within the courthouse, the man suddenly attacked the staff present, saying that he was going to come back "with the sword of Allah" to "cut the police and justice." During his hearings in police custody at the Le Havre police station and then the hearing in immediate appearance on Monday, the man made several references to divine judgment and the afterlife.
He was already well known to the court for different cases, including similar facts of threats against law enforcement officials. He asked to stay in the jails and did not return to the box when his sentence was pronounced: 24 months in prison with continued detention.
Blast rips through police mosque in northwest Pakistan,
killing at least 32

Washington Post,
January 30, 2023:
PESHAWAR, Pakistan — An explosion ripped through a mosque in a police compound in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar, bringing down the roof and killing at least 32 people, according to a hospital.
Muhammad Asim, a spokesman for the Lady Reading Hospital in Peshawar, said there were at least 32 dead and 147 wounded, mostly policemen, and the toll is expected to rise as rescuers work through the mosque debris.
Police officials have not yet determined whether it was a suicide attack or the explosives were planted. “The rescue teams are busy in removing the debris. Once the debris is removed, then we would be in a position to say whether it was a suicide or not,” said Alam Khan, a spokesman for the Peshawar police.
The explosion went off during afternoon prayers in the mosque while at least 150 people were inside.
“We were lined up for the afternoon prayer and as the prayer leader said ‘Allahu Akbar’ a huge blast took place. Nothing was clear and visible as part of the roof of the mosque collapsed,” police inspector Mushtaq Khan said by telephone from the hospital.
The attackers behind the incident “have nothing to do with Islam,” said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in a statement strongly condemning the blast. “Terrorists want to create fear by targeting those who perform the duty of defending Pakistan."
"Nothing to do with Islam." That's why they blew up a mosque with worshippers inside. This has everything to do with Islam as this sort of madness has been happening for 1400 years.

A 30-year-old man is in police custody after stabbing three people at a Metro station in Brussels, Belgium.
As confirmed by the Brussels Public Prosecutor’s Office this evening, Monday, January 30, a 30-year-old man is in police custody after stabbing three people. The incident occurred in the Schuman metro station in the Belgian capital of Brussels.
One of those attacked is said to be in critical condition, with two others injured. The knife attack took place in the station located right underneath the European Commission headquarters in the city.
Prosecutors bizarre conclusion
The Prosecutor’s Office said that terrorism is not suspected as a motive. This was contradicted by other witness reports that claimed the suspect shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ before committing the attacks.
According to euronews.com, the emergency services received a request for two ambulances to be deployed at 17:48 local time. Police officers descended on the location and the suspect was subsequently detained.
STIB-MIVB, the city’s public transport company, confirmed that the station had been closed to the public in the aftermath of the incident.
Philippe Close, the mayor of Brussels tweeted: “Knife attack in Schuman station: cooperation with various federal police forces and @zpz_polbru ensured that the perpetrator could be quickly arrested”.
A witness told Euronews the assault unfolded inside a metro car when the attacker stabbed a woman with a knife and asked passengers to exit.
An eyewitness named Salaheddine told Euronews: “I got into the metro carriage, the doors closed and then one moment I saw a crowd of people coming out shouting”.
He continued: “What happened was that it was a man with a knife. He stabbed, as I understand it, a woman and then he wanted to attack us. What he wanted, mainly, was for us to get out of the carriage and for him to be alone while waiting for the police”.
“But despite everything, as you know, in this station there are many strains, etc, so people, passengers, get out and therefore find themselves in front of this gentleman and so he becomes a little violent”, he added.
“Emotion in the European district. Warm thoughts for the victims. Thanks to the security forces @zpz_polbru”, tweeted the president of the European Council, Charles Michel. His offices are located in the building directly above the Metro station where the attacks took place.
