Three men charged over alleged Isil plot to bomb New York

Posted: 06 Oct 2017 04:54 PM PDT

Three men charged over alleged Isil plot to bomb New YorkThree men have been arrested since May of last year on charges of plotting attacks in New York City for the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isil) during the summer of 2016, US prosecutors said on Friday. The planned attacks, which were thwarted by law enforcement, included detonating explosives in Manhattan's Times Square and in the city's subway, according to the office of acting US Attorney Joon Kim in Manhattan. One of the men, 19-year-old Canadian citizen Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy, has been in US custody since May 2016, when he was arrested in New Jersey. He pleaded guilty to terrorism charges in October 2016, the prosecutors said. Talha Haroon, a 19-year-old U.S. citizen, was arrested in Pakistan, where he lives, around September 2016, and Russell Salic, a 37-year-old citizen of the Philippines, was arrested in that country in April of this year, according to Mr Kim's office. Prosecutors said they expected Haroon and Salic to be extradited to the United States to face the charges, which include conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism and to support a terrorist organisation. If convicted of the most serious charges, they face a maximum sentence of life in prison. Acting Manhattan US Attorney announces unsealing of charges in foiled 2016 NYC terror plot https://t.co/2Lf8aGSWA3— US Attorney SDNY (@SDNYnews) October 6, 2017 Lawyers for the three men could not immediately be identified. Prosecutors said El Bahnasawy bought bomb-making materials and helped secure a cabin near New York City from which to stage attacks. They said Haroon planned to travel from Pakistan to help El Bahnasawy carry out attacks, and that Salic helped fund the plot. According to documents unsealed in federal court in Manhattan on Friday, El Bahnasawy and Haroon planned to carry out attacks during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which ran from early June to early July. El Bahnasawy told an undercover law enforcement officer posing as a supporter of Isil that he wanted to "create the next 9/11," prosecutors said. El Bahnasawy told the officer of plans to detonate a car bomb in Times Square and "shoot up concerts," according to prosecutors. A member loyal to the ISIL waves an ISIL flag in Raqqa Credit: Reuters Haroon likewise told the officer that Times Square was "a perfect spot to hit them," prosecutors said. Salic, who maintained a pro-Islamic State social media presence, told the undercover officer that he had been communicating with El Bahnasawy, and sent the officer about $423 from the Philippines to help pay for the attacks, according to prosecutors. El Bahnasawy bought bomb-making materials in Canada, and was arrested the same day he came to the United States, the prosecutors said

Hamas arrests suspected jihadist leader in GazaHamas police detained a suspected jihadist leader in Gaza on Saturday, a security source said, the latest in a series of arrests of those accused of Islamic State group ideology. "This morning, security forces arrested Nour Issa, 27, who is a leader of the deviant thought movement and is from Bureij Camp in central Gaza, along with others," the source said, using a phrase Hamas officials routinely use to refer to jihadists, including IS. The Islamist Hamas movement has run Gaza for a decade but it has been challenged by small hardline factions, some of them inspired by IS, who advocate a stricter, Salafist interpretation of the faith.

Angela Merkel heads for crucial talks with Bavarian sister party to shore up alliance

Posted: 07 Oct 2017 01:59 AM PDT

Angela Merkel heads for crucial talks with Bavarian sister party to shore up allianceAngela Merkel, the German chancellor, faces crucial talks on forming a new government on Sunday following last month's damaging election losses. Immigration is set to dominate the agenda as Mrs Merkel meets with Horst Seehofer, the leader of her Bavarian sister party and an implacable opponent of her refugee policy. Mrs Merkel is trying to put together a new coalition with the pro-business Free Democrats (FDP) and the Green Party. Mrs Merkel on Saturday made her most explicit backing yet for the so-called "Jamaica" coalition, because the colours of the three parties match the black, yellow and green of the Caribbean country's flag. She said in Dresden: "I advise everyone to concentrate on what lies ahead. First between the CDU and (Bavarian) Christian Social Union (CSU) then with the Free Democrats (FDP) and Greens and to understand the mandate that voters handed us." Before she can begin negotiations, however, she has to put her own house in order. Mr Seehofer is threatening to pull his Christian Social Union party (CSU) out of any coalition unless Mrs Merkel agrees to an annual limit on the number of refugees allowed into Germany. But with both the FDP and the Greens opposed to any limit, it is a demand Mrs Merkel can ill afford to give in to. German election results Complicating matters still futher for the chancellor, she needs the CSU's 46 MPs for a coalition to command a majority in parliament. The CSU has been in an almost continuous alliance with Mrs Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU) since 1949, and its participation in any CDU-led coalition is usually automatic. But Mr Seehofer said this week discussions with the CDU following the election have been "the most difficult since 1976", when the two parties briefly split for a few months. The CSU suffered damaging losses in last month's elections, and Mr Seehofer's position as party leader is hanging by a thread. He has made no secret of the fact he blames Mrs Merkel's "open-door" refugee policy for the losses. "The election was not lost in Bavaria, but in Berlin," he was reported to have said recently. German Chancellor Angela Merkel  Credit: AP Mr Seehofer opposed Mrs Merkel's refugee policy from the start and his party has long demanded an annual limit of 200,000 refugees a year. "We will not budge on the upper limit," Manfred Weber, a senior MEP said this week, while Alexander Dobrindt, the outgoing transport minister, described it as "non-negotiable". But even if Mrs Merkel were prepared to back down over the issue, her putative coalition partners in the FDP and the Green party are just as adamant they will not agree to an upper limit. Angela Merkel wins fourth term in German elections 01:03 The talks could also cause Mrs Merkel a few headaches over European Union reform.  The CSU opposes any German funding for French leader Emmanuel Macron's proposed new joint Eurozone budget, while Mrs Merkel is keen to offer Mr Macron some support over reforms. Mr Seehofer is facing calls to resign as CSU leader over the election losses, and will not want to return to Munich empty-handed. But equally pulling the CSU out of coalition would almost certainly lead to new elections — which could lead to further losses for the party. Mrs Merkel will not want to force Mr Seehofer into a corner — not least because his likely successor as CSU leader, Markus Söder, is considerably more hardline. Instead, most analysts agree she will try to find a compromise formula that will allow Mr Seehofer to claim victory in the talks, while still keeping herself a free hand in the negotiations with the FDP and Greens. One possibility that is being talked about is the CDU agreeing to a "guideline" upper limit that would not be binding on the government. "We will surely find a wording of penetrating beauty and Horst Seehofer will say it's the upper limit," Wolfgang Bosbach, a senior CDU politician said this week.

New U.S. rule on payday loans to hurt industry, boost banks: agency

New U.S. rule on payday loans to hurt industry, boost banks: agencyBy Lisa Lambert and Pete Schroeder WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Revenues for the $6 billion payday loan industry will shrivel under a new U.S. rule restricting lenders' ability to profit from high-interest, short-term loans, and much of the business could move to small banks, according to the country's consumer financial watchdog. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) released a regulation on Thursday requiring lenders to determine if borrowers can repay their debts and capping the number of loans lenders can make to a borrower. Republican lawmakers, who often say CFPB regulations are too onerous, want to nullify it in Congress, and the industry has already threatened lawsuits.

'What Trump is doing is pure evil': Thousands scramble to keep DACA protection as extension deadline expires

'What Trump is doing is pure evil': Thousands scramble to keep DACA protection as extension deadline expiresIn the morning at CARECEN, a legal and immigration aid clinic in Los Angeles, people waited nervously for help with their Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) permit renewals – looking to avoid the state of limbo President Donald Trump is about to throw them into. Mr Trump's recent rescinding of the Barack Obama-created DACA programme – which offered a route into work and education and protection from deportation – has brought chaos to the lives of the 800,000 DACA recipients who arrived in the US illegally as children. "When I heard of the DACA programme ending, it was a shocker, because that's what we rely on to work and go to school," said 21-year-old Katherine – who did not want to use her surname – after filling out the paperwork which will permit her another two years in the US.

Security guard kills six children in nursery school arson attack in Brazil

Posted: 06 Oct 2017 12:31 AM PDT

Security guard kills six children in nursery school arson attack in BrazilA Brazilian nursery school guard burned six small children and a teacher to death after spraying them with alcohol and setting them alight on Thursday in an attack which has horrified the nation, said emergency services. Dozens of people were also hurt in the blaze while the guard, who was reported to be mentally ill, died after succumbing to his own burn injuries. The tragedy occurred in a modest quarter of Janauba, a city of 70,000 about 600km (370 miles) north of Belo Horizonte. The nursery school was called "Innocent People." A victim of the fire is admitted to hospital in Monte Claros Credit: O Tempo via AFP The initial death toll of four rose to six when two badly burned children died, according to news reports which quoted fire officials. Janauba's mayor decreed seven days of mourning. About 50 people were hospitalised with injuries, said Bruno Ataide Santos, director of the local hospital. Hours later, 10 people remained hospitalised in serious condition. The guard, identified as 50-year-old Damiao Soares dos Santos, was taken to hospital, suffering from burns, and later died, Mr Santos told AFP. Damiao Soares, the security guard alleged to have set fire to the children in the nursery in Brazil Credit: Caters News Agency About 80 children were in the nursery school when the attack occurred, prompting terrified parents to rush to the school, where they found one classroom reduced to ashes. "As the creche is near our house we heard noise and rushed over," Nelson de Jesus Silva, the father of one victim, told Globonews TV. "My little girl was so good, so smart," he said of his dead daughter Ana Clara Ferreira. Grief also struck Jane Kelly, the mother of Juan Miguel Soares. About 80 children were in the nursery school when the attack occurred Credit: AFP "I was thinking of changing nursery schools because we are preparing to move. I woke him up early to bring him here and when I saw him again he was dead in the hospital," Kelly said between sobs. The dead children were aged four, the G1 news site reported. Police visited the home of the suspect and his family members to try to determine a motive. But police superintendent Renato Nunes told the website of the Hoje em Dia newspaper that the guard had had mental health problems since 2014. The guard had worked nights for at least eight years at the nursery school, where he was not directly in contact with the children. People wait for news outside Janauba's hospital Credit: AFP Janauba's mayor Carlos Isaildon Mendes said an even greater tragedy was narrowly averted. "This could have been worse because the babies' room was in the hall next door. Evacuation would have been more difficult. As the children were bigger a lot of them were able to escape," the mayor explained. Police searched the guard's home and found many jugs of alcohol. He reportedly told his family this week - which includes the anniversary of the death of his father - that he was going to give a "gift" to them and that he would die. Brazil's president Michel Temer expressed his condolences on Twitter. "I am deeply saddened by this tragedy involving children in Janauba, and I want to express my solidarity with the families," Mr Temer wrote. As the father of a school-age child, Mr Temer said he understood "this must be an extremely painful loss" for the parents.
