2. Two car bombs rock southern Sweden’s city of Malmo

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) – Swedish police say two car bombs have shattered dozens of windows in a multiethnic district of Malmo, Sweden’s third largest city.

Police spokeswoman Linda Pleym says no one was injured by Saturday’s pre-dawn explosions in Rosengaard, a district dominated by immigrants from Iraq, Kosovo, Bosnia and Lebanon. One car bomb exploded at the foot of a building, the other in a parking lot nearby.

French police on Saturday shot dead a man who attacked them with a knife in a police station while shouting “Allahu Akbar” (“God is great” in Arabic), a source said.

The man injured the face of an officer at the entrance to the police station in Joue-les-Tours near the city of Tours in central France and injured two other before he was shot, the interior ministry said.

Anti-terrorist investigators were probing the incident, a judicial source said.

  1. #1. (I believe this is a very significant geopolitical event)
    Why do you think this event is geopolitical?

    #2. WHEN are the indigenous Swedes going to say enough?
    Mom and Pop Swede are eating dinner in front of the evening news when the report of two more car bombs going off comes on. Pop says to Mom, “pass the spetzel.”
    Really… if car bombs, blasts at courthouses and car-b-q’s were happening on a regular basis in my country my husband and I would be very concerned. We would want answers from our elected representatives.
    I find it painful to track the destruction of a country but, it’s kind of like a car crash, difficult to turn away.

    • #1. A nation state of a highly homogenous people, have through a targeted hostile act, affected the fundamental rights of another nation in a way which could be seen as a Casus Belli. In fact should be seen as one.

      #2. I think the Swedes are wondering why the total implosion of Sweden is taking so long. It isn’t as if they aren’t trying to self-destruct as hard as they can.

      • The murder of the two policemen and the subsequent attacks in other cities show that a race war has started, now we have a religious war and a race war going at the same time. Since they are targeting the police I think it won’t be long before the police start pressuring the politicians to fight the war as a war.

  2. #1 N.Y. Cop deaths. I’m not so sure at this point that this was a Muzz attack. This might have been a white cop hater, Ferguson revenge type thing.

  3. “…Radicalized: ISIS Propaganda Attracting American Youth” and therefore Somalis leaving the US to fight with ISIS.

    What exactly is the problem with that? The US rids itself of people it doesn’t need – and the Kurds and coalition make sure they stay away.

  4. Saudi security forces kill four militants in restive east (BBC, Dec 20, 2014)

    “Saudi security forces have killed four militants in a raid in al-Awamiya in the country’s east, officials said.

    The interior ministry said the men were behind the killing of a soldier there last Sunday.

    Al-Awmiya lies in the Eastern Province, home to a large and increasingly restive Shia population.

    The Sunni Saudi authorities deny discriminating against Shia citizens and blame Iran for stirring up discontent.

    The soldier was killed when his unit came under fire from fields near al-Awamiya last Sunday. His colleague was also injured.

    The “primary suspect” in the shooting of the soldier was among those killed, the interior ministry said….”

  5. Four Guantanamo inmates sent home to Afghanistan (BBC, Dec 20, 2014)

    “Four Afghan prisoners in Guantanamo Bay have been sent back to their home country, the Pentagon says.

    Shawali Khan, Khi Ali Gul, Abdul Ghani and Mohammed Zahir were repatriated after a review of their cases.

    Eight Afghans are believed to be among the 132 detainees remaining at the US prison in Cuba.

    President Barack Obama has pledged to close the facility, opened in 2002 to hold “enemy combatants” in what the US termed its war on terror.

    “As a result of that review, which examined a number of factors, including security issues, these men were unanimously approved for transfer by the six departments and agencies comprising the task force,” a Pentagon statement said on Saturday.

    The four Afghans – who had been held at Guantanamo Bay for more than 10 years – were flown to Afghanistan’s capital Kabul aboard a US military plane and handed over to the local authorities.

    The Pentagon provided no further details….”

  6. Cycle of revenge? The Quran clearly teaches us in sura Al-Baqra(2), VerseNo. (178): Retaliation is prescribed for you, even though you foolishly multicultural hypocrites may not like it… Or something like that. It comes close enough anyway… 😉

    Pakistan Taliban: Military ‘kills five militants’ (BBC, Dec 20, 2014)
    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-30560482

    “Pakistani security forces have attacked Taliban positions in two operations near Peshawar, killing five fighters, the military says.

    The operation comes days after the Taliban stormed a Peshawar school, killing 141 people, mostly children.

    Pakistan is on alert, with security stepped up at prisons following the execution of jailed militants.

    There are fears that Taliban may attack prisons to free militants due to be executed.

    Pakistan decided to lift a moratorium on executions in response to Tuesday’s school attack.

    The first executions were carried out on Friday, among them a former soldier sentenced for attacking the army headquarters in 2009.

    Pakistan has announced it will execute more militant prisoners in the next few days.

    The UN Human Rights office in Pakistan appealed to the government to reinstate the moratorium, saying it would feed into a cycle of revenge.

    Pakistan has ordered the military to help secure prisons to thwart any attempt by the Taliban to free prisoners….”

  7. Kenya to US: Our Terror Laws Are Better Than Yours (abcnews, Dec 20, 2014)
    http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/kenya-us-terror-laws-27738726

    “An official in Kenya is criticizing the United States for raising concerns about a new Kenyan law aimed at fighting terrorism.

    President Uhuru Kenyatta signed the law Friday, and critics in Kenya have said it will be used to crush dissent by curbing civil liberties.

    U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Friday: “We’re… concerned about provisions that appear to limit freedom of assembly and media, and access to asylum for refugees.”

    Munyori Buku, a senior official at the state house, said in a statement on his president’s website Saturday that Kenya’s new law has checks and balances, unlike U.S. security laws that have created the Guantanamo Bay detention center and given U.S. FBI and intelligence officers “a carte blanche in the fight against terrorism and biological warfare.””

  8. Yazidis get relief, reason to cheer as Kurds take key town from ISIS (CNN, Dec 20, 2014)
    http://edition.cnn.com/2014/12/20/world/meast/isis-violence/index.html

    “Kurdish Peshmerga fighters claimed to take control Saturday of Sinjar, the northern Iraqi town that ISIS militants stormed this summer causing minority Yazidis to flee into nearby mountains and spawning a humanitarian crisis.

    The Kurdistan Region Security Council (KRSC) said on Twitter that its forces entered Sinjar district around 1:45 p.m.(9:45 a.m. ET) and, just over an hour later, “succeeded in taking complete control of it & nearby villages.” The message ended “#Shingal #Kurds.” Shingal is another name for Sinjar.

    The advance is the latest in recent days by Kurdish forces against ISIS, which has been blamed for atrocities around the area for its treatment of those by any who resist or don’t subscribe to its extremist Islamist beliefs.

    And few, if any, have gotten worse treatment than the Yazidis — one of the world’s smallest and oldest monotheistic religious minority groups. Yazidis, most of whom are ethnic Kurds, revere an angel figure that some Muslims believe to be the devil….”

    “(I believe this is a very significant geopolitical event)

    The Obama administration seems to have been geopolitically quite influential so far, and now they seem to be even accelerating in a “nothing to lose” kind of fashion. A love for golf and a cute “naiveté” dont work for me any longer as an alibi.

    (and Yes, I do think Obama et al are race-biters).
