Among them were Amin Addala and Reza Afsharzadegan, both known associates of Emwazi from west London; and...

BUCKS COUNTY, Pa. (WPVI) -- Six people were arrested Saturday in New York City following a dueling protest outside Gracie Mansion, and federal authorities have launched a terrorism investigation. Two of those arrested are from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and remain in custody. On Sunday, FBI agents searched the homes of 19-year-old Ibrahim Kayumi in Newtown and 18-year-old Emir Balat in Langhorne. The searches came after the NYPD said at least one improvised explosive device was deployed during the protest, with additional devices now under investigation. "Nothing like this happens around here. So it's pretty scary," Newtown neighbor Pamela Pulsinelli said.

HAVANA (AP) — Cuba said Wednesday it has filed terrorism charges against six suspects it claims were aboard a Florida-flagged speedboat that is alleged to have opened fire on soldiers in waters off the island’s north coast. The Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement that the suspects of Cuban origin remain in pretrial detention, adding that it will ensure “due process” as it continues to act “in defense of our people and the country’s institutions.” The government has said 10 heavily armed Cubans from the U.S. who were on board the boat opened fire as they tried to infiltrate the...

It’s no secret that Iranian terrorists are here in the U.S. Democrats’ open border policies made their infiltration much easier. U.S. counterterrorism agencies are on high alert for potential retaliation after the American government joined Israel in launching a coordinated operation named Epic Fury against Iran over the weekend. Already, at least two Americans have died and more than a dozen have been injured after a 53-year-old gunman, reportedly clothed in an Iranian flag T-shirt and “Property of Allah” sweatshirt, opened fire at an Austin bar one day after the strikes commenced. While it’s unclear if this alleged terrorism...

This article below was originally posted last December and now is updated. But the risk of activated U.S.-based Iranian sleeper cells and of lone wolfs has increased since Saturday’s U.S.-Israeli lightening attacks on Iran. Americans definitely shouldn’t live in fear. We need to carry on our daily lives. But reasonably, our police and national security establishment now are on high alert. One of the first lone wolf attacks emerged two days ago in Austin, Texas. Here is a summary of a local news report: Ndiaga Diagne, a Senegal immigrant, open fired upon people in people in a bar in Austin,...

~I was out of it for most of last week, due to a car accident and another heart attack within seconds of each other, both pretty serious. So I was hoping to emerge to a reasonably relaxed environment with plenty of time to get myself up to speed on what I've missed. Alas, the news cycle had other plans. One worries in such circumstances that one is projecting outward one's own intimations of mortality. As I have maintained for God knows how many sodding decades, in a certain sense the Iranian revolution is where our present era began, and not...

No reports of injuries or damage in Israel; terror group says attacks are ‘revenge’ for Khamenei’s killing; Lebanese PM condemns ‘irresponsible act’; IDF says Hezbollah ‘destroying Lebanon’. Rockets and drones launched from Lebanon set sirens blaring across northern Israel in the early hours of Monday, as the Hezbollah terror group entered the fray to assist its backer, Iran, with its relentless attacks against the Jewish state. The terror group’s attacks — which it said were in retaliation for the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in the opening minutes of the joint Israeli-US assault on Iran on Saturday —...

What will the war to give Iranians the chance to ‘seize control’ of their destiny mean for U.S. homeland security? We’re about to find out. As of late Sunday, at least three U.S. military members will be coming home in caskets — among the first casualties of the Trump administration’s “regime change” campaign in Iran. There will “likely be more” to come in the days ahead, President Donald Trump warned. He said U.S. operations in Iran will continue continue until all of the administration’s objectives are met. The details of those objectives remained foggy Sunday. While the days-old military operation...

The Texas gunman who shot two dead and wounded 14 others had photos of Iranian leaders and the Iranian flag inside his home, sources have revealed.

Iranian and Iranian-Backed Attacks Against Americans (1979-Present) Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the clerical regime in Tehran and its proxies have committed a range of attacks against Americans. This memorandum provides select documentation of these assaults. While the list is not comprehensive, it demonstrates that Tehran continues to pose a threat to U.S. forces in the Middle East, the American homeland, and Americans residing across the globe. November 1979-January 1981: Iranian students — with the backing of Tehran — take 66 Americans hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. April 1983: A suicide car bombing kills 63 people, including 17...

n January of 2024 I wrote Terrorist Attacks in America: for what are they waiting? It warned of a new reality: thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of terrorists allowed into America by Biden’s Handlers with little or no vetting. many were given free bus or jet travel to locations of their choice. Mexican drug cartels are known to have arrangements with enemy states. They transport weapons and all the goodies terrorists need across the border. As I wrote then: “they’re sort of a cartel/terrorist UPS.” Flash forward to March, 2026. The US and Israel struck Iran, reportedly killing the Ayatollah...
