India: Seven killed in jihad attack at
construction site in Jammu and Kashmir
Jammu and Kashmir area is India’s only Muslim-majority region. There has been an uptick in jihad terror in the region, which can be attributed to the activities of an exhaustive list of terrorist groups in Pakistan. This most recent attack was by the Resistance Front, an offshoot of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, which is one of the largest and most powerful jihadist groups in Pakistan. Like the others, it seeks to see Jammu and Kashmir under Pakistani control.
See HERE for an extensive list of jihad groups in Pakistan.
The Jammu and Kashmir area is considered to be “disputed territory” (sometimes compared to Judea and Samaria in Israel). And as in Israel, jihadists will never stop their killing of their own accord.
Seven people killed, few injured in terrorist attack at construction site in India’s Jammu and Kashmir
WION, October 21, 2024:
Seven people, including locals, non-locals, and a doctor, working at the construction site of a key infrastructure project, were killed and a few others were injured in a terrorist attack at Gagangir in Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday evening (Oct 20), just days after an elected government led by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah came to power in the Union Territory. Some of those who died in the attack were reportedly migrant workers.
The firing incident happened close to a campsite of the Z-mode tunnel at Gagangeer in the Sonamarg area of Ganderbal district.
The local police and security personnel from the Central Reserve Police Forces (CRPF) rushed to the spot and cordoned off the area.
According to media reports, the attack was carried out by the terrorist group The Resistance Front (TRF), which is an offshoot of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)….
Nigeria: Muslims murder four Christians
in Benue state
“Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60)
Four Christians Killed in Benue State, Central Nigeria
Morning Star News, October 11, 2024:
ABUJA, Nigeria (Christian Daily International–Morning Star News) – Fulani herdsmen killed two Christians in central Nigeria’s Benue state on Wednesday (Oct. 9) and two others in another part of the state on Oct. 3, local sources said.
In northeastern Benue state’s Logo County, herdsmen on Wednesday attacked the village of Ayilamo, killing university student Solomon Kwanta and another Christian, area residents said.
“Apart from the two Christians killed during the attack, many other Christians were injured,” said Benard Chia in a message to Christian Daily International-Morning Star News. “Armed Fulani herdsmen attacked Ayilamo community in Logo Local Government Area of Benue state at about midnight on Wednesday.”
Kwanta was a final-year student at the University of Calabar who was back in the village on break, Chia said….
Tyongi Emmanuel, another village resident, said the situation was dire. “Everyone here is on the run, as we have all been displaced,” he said, while villager Tsavsar Msughaondo told Christian Daily International-Morning Star News, “Fulani herdsmen have taken over our ancestral lands; we are therefore calling on the Nigerian government to quickly intervene here in the Ayilamo area of Benue state in order to end these unprovoked attacks on us.”
In Kwande County in the southeastern part of the state, herdsmen on Oct. 3 killed two Christians in Tse Wende, villagers said.
Fabian Terseer identified the slain Christians as Terwse Azege and Orseer Kende.
“Attacks by armed Fulani herders have become a common occurrence here,” Terseer said. “Unfortunately, media organizations have not given these incidents adequate coverage. The sad thing too is that the Nigerian government has not deemed it necessary to take steps towards ending these attacks on our communities. For how long are we expected to endure these killing epidemics?”
Numbering in the millions across Nigeria and the Sahel, predominantly Muslim Fulani comprise hundreds of clans of many different lineages who do not hold extremist views, but some Fulani do adhere to radical Islamist ideology, the United Kingdom’s All-Party Parliamentary Group for International Freedom or Belief (APPG) noted in a 2020 report….
And when it comes to murdering farmers to steal their land, I wonder what percentage of Fulanis think that is a fine idea? Notice in the map below, how far south jihadis have progressed in Nigeria.
It's interesting that the first murdered human was Abel, a herder, who was killed by his brother, Cain, a farmer. Cain was then cast out of the family and away from God.
Assailants set off explosives and opened fire in an attack Wednesday on the premises of the Turkish state-run aerospace and defence company TUSAS, killing five people and wounding several more, Turkish officials said. At least two of the attackers died.
“I condemn this heinous terrorist attack and wish mercy on our martyrs,” Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said during a meeting with Russia's Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of a BRICS meeting in Kazan, Russia.
Putin offered him condolences over the attack.
Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya pointed the finger at the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has waged a decades-long insurgency against the government.
"The identification process and the search for fingerprints are continuing and we will say which terrorist organisation was behind the attack... The way in which this action was carried out is very probably linked to the PKK," Yerlikaya said.
Kurdish militants, the Islamic State (IS) group and leftist extremists have all carried out attacks in the country in the past.
NATO chief Mark Rutte offered the alliance's backing in a call with Erdogan.
"I just spoke with (President) Erdogan about the terror attack in Ankara. My message was clear: NATO stands with Turkiye," Rutte wrote on X, using the country's official Turkish name.
Security camera images from the attack, aired on television, showed a man in plainclothes carrying a backpack and holding an assault rifle.
Turkish media said three assailants, including a woman, arrived at an entry to the complex inside a taxi. The assailants, who were carrying assault weapons, then detonated an explosive device next to the taxi, causing panic and allowing them to enter the complex.
Multiple gunshots were heard after Turkish security forces entered the site, the DHA news agency and other media reported. Helicopters were seen flying above the premises.
TUSAS designs, manufactures and assembles both civilian and military aircrafts, unmanned aerial vehicles and other defense industry and space systems. The UAVs have been instrumental in Turkey gaining an upper hand in its fight against Kurdish militants in Turkey and across the border in Iraq.
Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz said the target of the attack was Turkey's “success in the defense industry”.
“It should be known that these attacks will not be able to deter the heroic employees of defense industry,” he wrote on X.
