A five-year-old boy was reportedly beheaded when Islamists attacked a village in Southern Kaduna State, leaving dozens of people dead.
In the April 15 attack, the killers descended on Runji village in Zangon Kataf Local Government Area (LGA) of Southern Kaduna State, leaving 33 people dead, among them 14 children….
The 33 victims of the attack on Runji village were reportedly buried in a mass grave amid distressing scenes.
“Fourteen of the victims were children and including a five-year-old boy who was reportedly beheaded. Several others were reportedly burnt beyond recognition,” CSW reports.
The human rights foundation quotes survivors who said that at least 200 militia descended on the village at around 10.30 p.m. on April 15, “shooting sporadically” and setting fire to around 40 houses.
The attackers are said to have operated for over an hour before leaving, informing surviving villagers they would be returning….
These men are not even human!
Koran set on fire – police investigating

Polizei Sachsen, April 18, 2023:
The state protection of the Dresden police department is currently investigating a 34-year-old Iranian for disturbing the practice of religion.
The man is suspected of taking a Koran in a Dresden mosque and setting it on fire. Several people in the mosque held the suspect until the police officers who had been alerted arrived.
The motives behind the crime are part of the ongoing investigation.

There are several possibilities here.
One is that the Iranian is a Shi’ite, and he went into a Sunni mosque looking for a confrontation. As most Iranians are Shi’ites, that may be the most likely scenario, but it isn’t the only one.
The Iranian may also be an ex-Muslim who is angry about Islam and possibly about the Islamic Republic, and who decided to express his anger in this direct and arresting manner.
And it is also possible that the Iranian was hoping to fabricate an incident that would be taken as an instance of “Islamophobia” and result in more solicitude toward Islam and Muslims in Germany.
Return to Afghanistan: ‘France is guilty of violating the principle of
no forcible return,’ says the president of Amnesty International France
translated from “Renvoi en Afghanistan : ‘La France s’est rendue coupable de violation du principe de non-refoulement’, estime le président d’Amnesty International France,”
France Info, April 19, 2023:
For the first time since the Taliban returned to power, a man has been sent back to Afghanistan. The man had been sentenced in November 2020 for apologizing for terrorism for having praised the assassination of Samuel Paty.
franceinfo: Can we say that France has crossed a “red line” with this referral?
Jean-Claude Samouiller: France is guilty of violating the principle of no forcible return. And this is a major principle in international law. It is forbidden for any state to return a person to a country where he at risk of serious persecution, death or torture. France violated this principle. Especially since the situation in Afghanistan is completely deleterious. His words are unspeakable, we do not defend them, but we cannot send someone back to a country where he risks his life.
What, in particular, would put him at risk in returning to Afghanistan? He is clearly a defender of the madness of Islam and, therefore, should fit right in among the Taliban. Even if that was not the case, why is it better to keep a man who encourages the beheading of Frenchmen rather than send him back to the God-forsaken country that made him what he is?

Northern Va. man pleads guilty to 2009 terrorism charge, then walks
by Salvador Rizzo, Washington Post,
April 21, 2023:
A Virginia man who left the United States more than 14 years ago to fight alongside extremist groups in Afghanistan pleaded guilty Friday to a terrorism charge in federal court in Alexandria, but U.S. prosecutors are not seeking prison time because he already spent nearly 13 years in custody in Pakistan.
In November 2009, Ahmed Ameer Minni was one of five young men from Northern Virginia who suddenly left the country without notifying their families. They left behind only a video they had produced showing U.S. soldiers in Iraq and photos of civilian casualties as a narrator declared that “physical jihad against the disbelievers becomes obligatory,” according to an FBI affidavit.
Back home in the United States, their families had alerted the FBI about the disappearances and provided agents the jihad-themed video.
All five were arrested in Sargodha, Pakistan, in December 2009 on terrorism-related charges after authorities in that country received information from the FBI, according to a lawyer involved in the U.S. case. They were convicted and imprisoned for more than 10 years in Pakistan, U.S. court records show.
After that, more than two years passed before Pakistan extradited three of the men — Minni, Aman Hassan Yemer and Ramy Said Zamzam — to face similar charges in the United States, which were first filed in 2009. The others, Umar Farooq Chaudhry and Waqar Hussain Khan, remain in Pakistan with pending extradition requests, according to U.S. officials. While Chaudhry is still being held by Pakistan, Khan is not in custody, a U.S. prosecutor said Friday….
However, in the days after his arrest in December 2009, Minni agreed to speak voluntarily with the FBI and stated that he “hoped to get weapons training, and wanted to become a militant, as opposed to a suicide bomber,” U.S. officials said.
“According to Minni, he saw himself dying in combat against American soldiers,” an FBI agent wrote in an affidavit at the time.
Minni, now 33, enlisted “the other four defendants to join him in traveling overseas,” according to a filing from federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia. A recruiter who called himself “Saifullah” reached out to Minni online beginning in May 2009 and “provided guidance on how to travel in Pakistan in a manner that would not arouse suspicion” — recommending that the men be clean-shaven, for example, U.S. authorities said in court filings….
“I’m very pleased,” U.S. District Judge Leonie M. Brinkema said at the outset of the hearing, calling the plea agreement for Minni “a very reasonable resolution” of the nearly 15-year-old terrorism case against him.
Gibbs, in a sentencing brief filed in Minni’s case Friday, wrote that “based on the particular facts and circumstances of this case, it is the government’s position that the time already spent in Pakistani custody serves as adequate deterrence to future criminal conduct.” He asked Brinkema to impose a sentence of time served, significantly less than the 15-year maximum prison term allowed under federal law….
Was there any change in Minni's character that would indicate that he no longer holds jihadist views? The judge is taking a big risk here. I hope it doesn't come back to haunt her.
