One soldier died at the scene and four others were kidnapped, tortured and murdered by the terrorists. The mastermind of this complex attack was Ali Mussa Daqduq, a Lebanese national taken by U.S. forces in Basra just...

An Ontario court has ordered the Iranian regime to pay more than $560 million to a Canadian citizen who was tortured in Iran decades ago, marking one of the largest civil awards ever issued in the country. In a Thursday ruling, Canadian authorities found the Iranian regime must pay 5 percent annual interest on previously awarded damages to victim Zahed Haftlang, who fled to Canada in 2001 after enduring two years of torture in an Iranian prison. Because the abuse dates back to 1990, 36 years of accrued interest adds an additional $360 million to the original award, bringing the...

Was this illegal part of a Venezuelan or Cuban military intelligence operation? Why, again, was he let in? Joe Biden's open borders may be about more than just replacing the electorate. The New York Post found that one of the most malevolent of the border surgers, a Venezuelan illegal named Leonel Moreno, who famously urged other illegals to squat in Americans' homes and waved hundred-dollar bills around to boast of his public benefits on TikTok, is being investigated by the feds for his military intelligence work for the Marxist dictatorship back home.
